war was thronged this afternoon with
general officers seeking assignments
TO assist in the pacifcation of small
parts OF the country where insurrection
has occurred.
The findings of the court against
Gonzalez were unanimous and based on
unquestioned evidence. A defense was
offered on the ground that Gonzalez,
although admitting having consulted
with the leaders of the projected re-
volt, insisted that he took no hand in

failure to arrest these notoriously
traltorous revolutionsts was evidence

The trial lasted throughout last
night. The findings this morning were

whom were friendly toward the accused

antiquities and clumsy practices which
have retarded business.
The recent strikes in Mexico have
not been the outgrowth of organized

COMMUNICATION

To the Voters of Gratiot County:
Through an article in the Detroit
Free Press, | was pleased to learn
that Judge j. Lee Potts has consented
to be candidate for denomination at
the primaries on August 3lst, for the
reason that / know that Judge Potts
is one of the ablest Probate Judges
in the state Of Michigan. Through
our Association of Probate Judges |
have known Judge Potts for eight
years and have been thrown in con-
tact with him considerably, and he is
considered by the members of our
Association to be a student of Pro-
bate law and well versed in this
branch of work.
AT the Twenty-fourth annual meet
ing of the Association of Probate
Judges at Saginaw, Judge Potts was
elected Secretary without
opposition for the reason that all the
members felt that he was the logical
man for this office BY reason of
the recent death of Judge Anneke of
Bay City who was declared Vice
president Of our association, Judge
Potts undoubtedly will be elected
President of the Association next
year. | know that Judge Potts is
interested in bringing about some
changes in the probate law that will
be most beneficial to the public.
On several occasions | have had to
visit Judge Potts office and have
gone over his records; | can truth
fulls say that l believe there is no
office in the State that is more up-
to-date and more Systematically kept
than the probate records in your
county.
The office of the Judge of probate
is no longer looked upon as a political
office but an office that should be
Tiled by only competent and ex-
perienced official. l might say that
Judge Durfee of Detroit has been
Judge of Probate of Wayne county
Tor forty-four years and is a candi-
date for his twelfth term without
opposition. Even the Socialist marty
has seen fit not to oppose Judge Dur
NOuihltS nave Judges OF
Probate who have served several
terms. The people in some strong
Republican counties have even gone
so far as to retain Democratic pro-
bate judges because of their eff
cheney. The people realize a probate
Judge becomes better qualified every
year.
| am particularly interested in
Judge Potts denomination because
his denomination will mean that we
VIII retain valuable officer and
member of our Probate Judges AS
ISOLATION might say that this com
munication has not been solicited in
any way by Judge Potts.
Very sincerely yours,
