A Last Appeal to the Vote,
~ A. }. GRoEsREcK.
Chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee.


Spring elections have always
brought out big vote in this state. a
forceful demonstration Of the interest
that the voter takes in state affairs
Indications point to still larger vote
at the approaching election. Repub
licans from every section of the state
realize that good government can be
secured and maintained only by active
participation in politics.
The re-awakening Of public CO.
science, the demand for needed re
form, are hopeful signs of the time
The Republican party welcomes this
re-awakened interest. 1t has ever
been close to the people, and ever
hearkened to the popular will as ex
pressed by the ballot. The history
Of the Republican party is the his
tory<of the prosperity and welfare OF
this country. Today the United States
lead all nations In power and wealth
"a position obtained under Repub
hcan rule.
Michigan, too, under Republican ad
ministration, has enjoyed an excep
tional measure Of prosperity. 1t was
under the oaks" of this state that
the Republican party was born, and
ii was from this state that 1t went
forth on its brilliant mission. Thus
Michigan has been the cradle of the
greatest political organization that
the world has ever seen This ex.
plains why the overwhelming major
ity Of the Michigan voters is Repub-
lican. Temporary differences may
arise which separate them for time
but at heart all are Republicans. At
the polls on April 7th next this state
will demonstrate to the country at
large that past disagreemepts have
been forgotten, and that by mutual CO.
operation we are still, able to keep
Michigan IN the front rank Of the Re-
publican states of the union. The
eyes Of the nation are on the voters
in Michigan. The Republican party
throughout this broad country look
upon our state for encouragement and
guidance. Therefore, the importance
of the coming election cannot be over.
estimated. The interest in the
results is no lenger confined to the
boundaries of our commonwealth, but
is nation wide. If every elector does
his duty, the result can be awaited
in all confidence, for at no time has
the Republican party been more free
OF dictation, bossism, and the domi
nation of interests" than at present
The platform embodies the best mod
erh thought, and is faithfully lived
up to by the Republican representa-
tives in the House and the Senate OF
the present legislature.
The party's list of candidates defies
criticism, and, while the offices to be
filled are In no way as numerous as
those voted upon at the former cleo
ton, yet they are Of great Importance
and must concern everybody who is
interested in good government. The
vote at the polls should be large and
emphatic.
The many young voters In this state
who will cast their first ballot this
spring will cast vote for good gov

the cause OF right, honesty and jus
tice, II they will but follow in the
footsteps Of their fathers and vote the
