East Orange, N. J. - Mrs. Anna

Mrs. Schofield is the East Orange
mother-in-law who just naturally knew
her daughters husband had another
wife slowed away somewhere.
She suspected that of Capt. Selwyn
Joyce of Boer War fame, from the
first; and after he married daughter
Dorothy, Mother Schofield pooh-pooh-

far off New Zealand.
Dorothy's marriage now stands an

her divorce suit to jell, all due to
Mother Schoiold's eagle eye for bene-

too considerate around the house to
be 39-year bachelor.
Like all average MAI led men, he
was an artistic fiatterer in way
about things wives like to be lied to
about. He could praise coffee that
everybody knew was vile in such q
way that 1t tasted good.
What old bachelor would take the
trouble to do that, even IL he couldf
Only a married man would do it.
Like his brother benedicts, he
knew how to praise his ife's taste,
whether good or bad. If married
man says something about another
woman he does not neglect to say
something a little nicer about his
wife. That was Joyce.
HE had habits of cleanliness and
care about the house that no bachelor
of 80 ever had. He didn't throw his
clothes on the floor nor leave things
cluttered up behind him. He showed

SIMON M. ROSE
is CANDIDATE FOR
STATE REPRESENTATIVE
TO THE VOTERS OF
CHARLEVOIX COUNTY,


| am a candidate for the Republican
nomination as Representative in the
State Legislature.
1t seems to me the duty of candi-
date for public office to give to the
voters statement of his reasons for
being candidate and "a full outline of
his views on public questions. This
shall attemptto do at every opportunity.
This office is an important and respon-
sible one demanding OF the man who
holds ii certain well-known qualifica-
tions peculiar to the position. We
must zealously represent and protect
the interests of his county and at
the same time must look to the
welfare of the state at large and
the Nation. Particularly in these trying
times should the importance of this
office be borne in mind by the people.
To be of the greatest service and to
accomplish most, he should know men
and have knowledge of public affairs.
He must know how to do things and
must measure up to the standard OF the
men chosen to represent the other
counties of our state. He must be able
to make his county an influence in our
legislature and compel the respect OF
the members of the body in which he
sits. Just so far as the man fails in
these things the county and state are
the losers.
| do not claim to possess all of these
qualifications. In fact, if am nominal
ed and elected, there is no doubt that
would make mistakes and fail to please
someone, butmy mistakes would not be
the result of faulty intent or lack of
effort. However, am not to be the
Judge of my fitness and ability. Repre-
sentative men from all parts of the
county seem to give me credit for
possessing some common sense and
business experience or they would not
have urged me to be candidate.
firmly believe in the enactment of
needed laws but / am opposed to bulky
Legislation. am opposed to legislation
for the benefit of few interests who
would make capital by spoliation and
greed to take advantage of war times
and conditions at the expense of the
people. strongly favor all wise laws
which will aid production of all neces-
sites. A broad attitude should be taken
by our legislature in relation to mea-
sures recommended by President Will
son for the better carrying on OF the
War. All friction and unnecessary de-
lay and objection must be avoided. To
state it briefly, wish the voters to un-
derstand that stand for good, sound,
horse-sense laws, based on broad
grounds without any frills and hobbies.
came to Charlevoix County SO years
ago and during that time have been
identified with its affairs and interest
ed in its growth and development. |
believe in boosting" this wonderful
county at every opportunity. | always
have and always shall, and if you see
fit to select me as your representative
| earnestly assure you that shall spare
no effort to maintain and increase the
growing prestige and influence of
Charlevoix County. Il ask your careful
consideration of my candidacy at the
August Primary.
Very Respectfully,
