HAL A. SMITH IS
TALKED BY MANY
FOR GOVERNOR
HE is AN IONA COUNTY PRO-
DUCT AND ACTIVE IN BUSI-
NESS INTERESTS

In reviewing the possibilities for
the governorship of Michigan much
favorable comment is heard about Hal
II. Smith, former Ionia county resi-
dent. for the Office, provided he can
be induced to accept the responsible
ties.
A large number of business men,
including those engaged in practically
every line of merchandising as well
as manufacturing, believe the time
has arrived when the man at the helm
of the ship of state should be a man
of unusual business experience and
capacity.
Mr. Smith has wide acquaintance
throughout the state obtained by his
-incessant work done as a business
man, a lawyer, and a worker for the
Republican party.
He is counsel for the Michigan
Manufacturers Association and, as
such, drew and had introduced and
passed in the legislature, bill Great
ing the Michigan Railroad Commits
sion, a commission that every busi-
ness man knows has done a vast
amount of good in the past, and one
that acts as a sort Of balance wheel
in railroad legislation.
Mr.. Smith is also counsel for the
Michigan Bankers association and
mas been responsible Off legislation
which has been beneficial both to the
banker and to the bank depositor.
Mr. Smith is director of the
Union Trust Company of Detroit,
one of the prominent financial insti-
tutions in the metropolis; he is
director in the Hayes Manufacturing
Company of Detroit, large produc-
er of automobile accessories, also
director in the Hayes-Ionia Company,
the large automobile body plant of
Ionia.
He owns large farm in Orleans
township and always has his ear close
to the ground when it comes to mat
ters affecting the rural districts.
As public speaker he ranks high
among the many orators in this state.
He is responsible for the Michigan
Workmen's Compensation law, a
measure giving thousands of dollars
per year to the Michigan worker, and
not unduly harmful TO the employer.
Above all he is possessed of an ex-
cellent legal mind, properly poised TO
pass upon great questions of the day.
AS a vote getter Mr.. Smith would
be counted as a top-notcher never
having been classed as radical, nor
as ultra-conseryative.
He is in the prime of life, and fully
capable of giving Michigan an admin
lstration second to none.

The Yellow Label

Our readers are invited to note the
date on the yellow label on their Ban
ners. If it shows a date previous to
January 1, 1916, we hope the subscribe
er may some time this month pay to
some date in 1916. That will take
very little in the case of any subscri-
Der, while the aggregate would be a
sum which would be of material bene-
fit to the publishers.
Some subscribers do not appear to
understand the dating of the yellow
label. When the label says for in
stance "Dec.-1915r it means that the
subscription is paid to December /,
1915.

Banks Cooperate

The six banks of Helena, Montana,
on December IL united in full page
advertisement in the local newspaper.
The advertisement recites that there
are on deposit in the banks about $8,-
100000 which belong to the people of
the city, or $500 per capita. The ad-
vertisement is remarkable because the
bankers practically advise depositers
to draw a little of their savings and
spend it for Christmas.
