MEN NAMED AGAIN
FOR STATE OFFICE
THEY REPRESENT EXPERIENCE
AND TESTED ABILITY.
THEIR WORK REVIEWED

Convention, Who by Reason OF Past
Experience Are Unusually Well
Fitted to Perform Valuable State
Service.
With a single exception all of the
several candidates on the Republican
state ticket are now serving in the
offices to which they seek election.
Justice Aaron V. McAlvay and
Flavius L. Brooke have distinguished
themselves as members of Michigan's
Supreme Court. Their service as par
Elephants in the deliberatiOn and deci-
sion of our states highest judicial
tribunal has been such as to permit
no serious thought of interruption at
this time to their valuable. services.
Junius r. Beal and Frank b. Le-
land as Regents of the University
have efficiently served through eight
years on that important board. They
have given their time wholly without
compensation to the transaction of
very important duties relating to the
management of Michigan's greatest
education institution. The well doing
and the well being of the University
of Michigan, as well as all the inter
ests of the state relating to that in
stitution will be best advanced
through the reelection of Regents
Beal and Leland.
And that which is true with refer
ence to members of the Supreme
Court and Regents of the University
is equally true respecting William H..
Wallace and l.. Roy Waterbury, Re-
publican candidates for members of
the State Board of Agriculture.
Messrs. Wallace and Waterbury are
now serving on this Board. The years
of their service included the most
prosperous and progressive period in
the history of the Michigan Agricul-
ture College. They are thoroughly in
sympathy with the spirit that prompt
ed the people Of Michigan to estab-
lish such a school and to generously
maintain it. Their denomination with
out opposition was a tribute to their
value as members of an important
board that will be endorsed at the
coming April election by a very large
majority.
Fred L. Keller, Republican candi-
date for Superintendent of Public In
struction, was appointed to that office
after the resignation of Superintend-
ent Wright because of recognition on
the part of Governor Ferris that
Mr.. Keller was unusually we'll fitted
for the duties the office involves. Mr.
Keller is not only a student Of mod
ern educational methods but he is also
an open-eyed and open-minded OBJ
server as well. AS Deputy Superin-
tendent through a number Of years
he has been giving all Of his time TO
the duties he is now performing and
the future service he is assured of
will be Of great value to the people
of Michigan and to their educational
interests by reason of his past eX-
perience and his thorough equipment
Fred A. Jeffers, candidate for mem
Der Of the State Board of Education
is the only new man on the Repub-
lican state ticket Mr.. letters is now
Superintendent Of the High School at
Painesdale, Michigan, and Of a sys-
tenn including six other township
schools. He is the possessor of the
degree Of Master Of Pedagogy of the
Normal State College, and has been
for twenty years member Of the
Houghton County board OF school
examiners. The duties Of members
of the Michigan State Board of Edu-
cation include the business manage
ment and general direction Of the four
state normal schools and Mr.. letters
is in every way qualified to take an
cient part in that very important
service.
