The eriminally negligent driving
of automobiles on Durant's streets
seems to be on the wane, and to the
great relief of that part of the public
whose personal safety has thus been
infringed upon. If one through dare

there are few who concern them
selves; but when this same thing en-
dangers others, the public begins to
get mad, and the few who have been

about seem to realize It at last.

The time has arrived for Michigan
to have business man for governor
and q business administration of the
affairs of this state.
The taxpayers have at last become
aroused to the burden of increasing
state expense and the costly "isms"
which have made such deep inroads
into the finances of Michigan.
The ExpOsitor, after careful study
of the situation and a thorough dis
cussion of the men whose names have
been offered by either political party,
endorses the candidacy of Albert E.
Sleeper, of Bad Axe, on the simple
basis that his name and his record In
sures a square deal to all of Michigan.
Mr.. Sleeper was forceful and pro.
ductive member of the state senate,
and his subsequent four years as state
treasurer demonstrated his keen bust.
ness ability, his unquestioned integrity
and his devotion to those economies
which have become unfashionable in
so many departments of public life.
Sleeper is a plain man of business,
with large experience, broad character
and keen understanding of the detail
business of the state of Michigan.
With him as chief executive every
portion of Michigan, the largest state
except one east OF the Mississippi,
would feel the inspiration of harmon.
ious state government.
Mr.. Sleeper says IF | am elected
governor, | will try to see that a dol
