COMING AUCTIONS

Chas. Montague, Sr., will have an
austion sale of farm stock and tools,
on his premises, in Thetford, on
Wednesday, April 9, at which time
a large list of very desirable prop
erty will be sold. E. L. Powers will
be the auctioneer. Watch for large
ad in the next issue of The Messen-
ger and for large bills for details of
of this sale.
Chas Montague, Sr., killed an
honest to goodness snake in one of
his fields last week. If some folks
had reported this we might have
suspected that said snake crawled
out of cider barrel, but with Mr..
Montague there can be no question
about the tangible quality of the
snake, although it's awful early for
'em.

An Appeal to the Women of
the Republican Party.
Bina M. West Of Port Huron, Supreme
Commander, Woman's Benefit
Association Of the Maceabees.

The republican party has always
stood for progress, protection and
prosperity. 1t is the party of action.
1t has expressed desire to work with
the women of Michigan towards at
tanning the highest ideals of admin
istraton on questions of the day. IL
not only stood for suffrage, but was
largely instrumental in securing for
women in Michigan the right to vote.
Some women take the position that
women should hold themselves aloof
from the organized political parties
of the day. do not think this is prac-
ticable. We must work with the in.
struments at hand and public affairs
are managed through the instrument
tality of parties. Every woman should
avail herself of every opportunity pre-.
sented to become familiar in a prac.
tical way with the manner in which
the republican party is managed and
the principles for which it stands.
1t will be interesting as we'll as in.
structive and an important civic duty
to attend political conventions and
familiarize ourselves with all ques-
tions of public interest.
Let us show our republican breth.
rem that we are going to take an in.
terest in questions Of administration
of state and nation and that we are
going to do 1t in a sane. sensible and
practical way.

ELECTION NOTES

At the general election to be held
on Monday, April T. next, three i'm,
portant amendments to the Consti-
tuition of the State of Michigan will
come before the electors for consid-
GRAFTON. A brief and unofficial re-
sumo of the purport of these amend
ments is as follows:
metxzfifi fl? CT 123456 1905.
1st. An amendment authorizing
the state to borrow money not ex-
ceeding two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars at any one time, to be
used to meet deficits in revenue.
This amendment would also empower
the state to contract debts to repell
invasion, suppress insurection, defend
the state or aid the United States in
time of war, the money so raised to
be expended for the purpose for
which it was raised. This amend
ment would also empower the state
to issue bonds to the amount Of fifty
million dollars for the purpose of i'm
proving the highways Of the state.
I'd. An amendment to prohibit
the increase or decrease of salaries
Of public officers after election or ap-
pointment, except those of justices or
judges of courts of record.
Sd. An amendment permitting
the sale Of cider, wines and beer in
the state FOREVER. Ostensibly
this amendment would prohibit the
sale of whiskey and strong liquors,
but in the judgment of legal experts
it would place upon the statute books
Of Michigan the most unbridled and
vicious liquor code that has ever
been known. This proposed amend
ment was drafted by the liquor in
terests and represents their desires
solely.
The state ticket to be elected on
the above named date iwl consist of
two Justices of the Supreme Court,
two Regents of the University of
Michigan, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, Member Of the State
Board Of Education and two Mem
bers of the State Board of Agricul-
ture The County ticket will be linn

WHYIAM A REPUBLICAN,
Reasons Given BY Mrs. Terry coriiss,
of Lansing, Who Is Active In the
Work Of the Woman's Relief
Corps Of Michigan.
l am a Republican.

am Republican.
Because, from the birth of the Re
publican party under the Oaks al
Jackson, up to this very moment. tina,
party has stood for the principles
which have contributed most to the
wonderful development and prosperity
of our country, and, the party that
can attract and hold the support and
services of such men as Lincoln,
Grant, Sherman, Blaine, Garfield, Har.
rison, Mckinley, and Roosevelt is a
good enough party for me.
am a Republican
Because the Republican party has
always stood for a Protective Tariff,
which means protection to American
industry and American labor Every
time the government has deviated
from this policy it has meant dis
aster to our industries and idleness
for our laboring classes.
am Republican.
Because the republican party has
always stood for free and honest
popular ballot, the just and equal rep
resentation of all the people. Too. IL
has stood for the down trodden and
oppressed. and when the iron heel of
the Spanish oppression was crushing
the life out of Cuba, it was the repub
lican party made war on Spain, drove
the Spanish from the Western Hemi-
spere. and made Cuba free.
am Republican.
Because the Republican party has
welcomed equal suffrage. In our own
state every measure introduced In the
Legislature promising suffrage to wo-
men was offered by republican. and
when suffrage for women became a
reality in Michigan, the Republican
party welcomed the women of the
state to it's councils. Started bill on
its way through the present session
of the Legislature which provides a
place on its state Central Committee
for one woman from each Congress
sional district, and nominated at Its
recent State Convention woman for
member of the State Board of Agri-
culture.
And lastly
| am a Republican.
Because when the United States be-
came embroiled in the great world
conflict, republicans in Congress to
a man. placed patriotism above par.
tisanship and voted always to uphold
the President and support any meas
necessary in the prosecution Of the
war, when members of his own party
refused him the support and co-opera-
ton he deserved.

LONDON, Sept More money
than ever before is now in circulation
in English villages, and its easy ex-
penditure is apparent even to the
casual passerby Extra wages earned
by workmen, housemaids, and farm
laborers have brought about an as
tonishing social change.
One evidence Of this is seen in the
great increase in bicycles and motor
cycles, which has necessitated the es-
tablishment OF countless garages and
repair shops throughout the country.
Dancing and other clubs ase spring
ing up everywhere. Whist clubs are
favorites, and the costliness OF the
prizes for which the members play
would few years ago have consti-
tuted almost a scandal.
The sense OF well-being and the de-

assigned as the cause for this last

gists as a permanent thing, which is
more likely to increase than to di-
