Nothing Ferris Says
About Bryan Will Spoil
the Rummies' Appetite

On several occasions Gov Ferris has
gone out Of his way to speak disparaging-
~ Of the Hon. W. J. Bryan and to belittle
Mr.. Bryan as Democrat.
Mr.. Ferris has been especially bitter
against Mr.. Bryan's attitude on the
liquor question. In this Mr. Ferris is
playing clever politics, but poor citizen
ship.
Mr.. Ferris well knows there are not
enough Democrats In Michigan to elect
him, and he finds it easy and expedient
to maintain his present "stand in" with
the State Liquor Dealers association,
who supported him solidly in both his
previous campaigns and have been re-
warded by not having been disturbed the
slightest by the Governor or his friends
In the legislature.
Reprobated as Gov. Warner was for
having favored the liquor element. he
did not serve that element anywhere near
Is effectively as has Gov. Ferris.
Yes, w. J. Bryan is now and always has
been an enemy of the liquor traffic and
the law-defying saloon, consistent and
steadfast in his convictions, forceful and
fearless in advocating what he thinks is
right.
Who has heard the Governor say &
word that would not be applauded by
every wet voter in Michigan?
AS Governor of Michigan Mr.. Ferris is
the supposed leader of the Democrat par
~. Is he using this leadership to the
best possible advantage of the party
when he seeks to antagonize every friend
Mr.. Bryan has in Michigan?
Mr.. Ferris may find some Democrats
who are of the same opinion as Mr.. Bryan
on many questions, especially the liquor
question, now at the fore.
Governor Ferris can continue to insult
Mr.. Bryan, but when he does it he is not
speaking for the respectable Democracy
Of Michigan.
The minority party needs harmony tc
succeed. Will Ferris leadership bring it 7

Birth Control Rather

We have reached parting Of the ways
IN many matters. Conditions have so
changed that the very things once
thought to protect have become men,

When our country was young, the de-
Bfre Of all was for increase of population
that this land might be developed in all
its possibilities and become the greatest
country on earth. We have developed Ito

time, and we have bred and bred, not only
those who would become sturdy pioneers
and clear up our splendid territory, but

petual drain upon the strength and
wealth of the nation and compound of
misery and suffering to themselves.
The time has come when many seri-
GUS minded people feel that many laws,
made in those early days, must now be
mitigated or reversed for the benefit of
humanity. A new subject, birth control,
is one of the most vital questions of the
day. Philanthroplsts, physicians, eugen-
lists, philosophers, even clergymen, are
now turning their attention to the unborn
child to solve our increasingly difficult
economic, health and moral problems.
"The Right of the Child not to be born"

alton, but is fast gaining a foothold with
