have

gogue who breaches unreason and un-
rest and who sows the seeds Of discon-
tent and unhappiness among the work
ing masses of the country should now
and then be reminded of them.
What is he worth to you? John 4.

THIS YEAR
City Candidates Papers Must Be In
City Clerks Hands at Least II
Days Before Election Which
Comes on April 3.

Grand Rapids citizens who intend
to be candidates for office this year

special session last year ordained
that hereafter all nomination papers
by city candidates must be filed with
the city clerk not more than Is nor
less than II days before the date of
the election which, this year, falls on
April 3. The old rule provided
for filing not more than Is nor less

candidates remember this change
they may find themselves legislated
out of the race.
