 Dr. Rroueh's democracy is that de- mocracy that believes ill scienItfie government. He las given many years of work end study to the prob lens of government and taXatiGn. NES " ASOH ANtOCdHs In 1911 Dr. Brough organized the first College Mems Woodrow Wilson for Pres ident club in the United ] States, and in turn received a com mend 'ory letter from President Will sch.
 "If # be argued thav nv Fy--rru.rs1c career has fitted me for the educa- tion of the youth rather than the solution of the intricate problems of government and knowledge of men, offentimes animated by sinister mo- ] tiyes, submit that the successful and stateenan-like administration givcn the nation by our great teacher president and given Michigan, North Carolina, Pcnnsylyania and other states by Wcll-equipped chief eXecu- /, tivcs who were professional school 1 teachers, demonstrate conclusively 1 that those who have consecrated their | lives to the betterment of the youth of our land oftentimes become putent factors in arousing the higher sense l of civic consciousness, in promoting 1 thoughtful and well-considered pride and patriotism that is sure to make for moral, social and economic re- generation" said Dr. BroUgh, in one Of his speeches.

Because of the deplorable situation, Dr. Brough incorporated in his platform recommendation that all state educa- tional and charitable institutions be placed on a millage basis. Pure cleo tion laws and election of members of the St. Francis Levee board were other blanks upon which Dr. Brough found hearty response from ths vot- CTS.

His gen. erosity was shown in compliments paid his two opponents.
 Brouah in his first campaign speech, concluded the address witf ii 4l owing pledges:
