"This bill has the support of the
progressive party in the duma,
therefore of the majority," said
ilitikov. "It \yin contain three
essential parts. The first has fur
its object the removal of the Pale

With 1. CW exceptions have had to
make their homes), thus enabling
them to live wherever they choose.
The second will remove some of the
educational limitations placed on
the Jew and the third will make it
possible for him to choose any pro-
fession or trade he cares to.
"While abroad I had long talks
with the Rothschilds, both in Eng-
land and France, with Prof. Levy,
of the Sorbonne at Paris, and other
representative Jews. At the cooling
session I shall acquaint all the
members with what I was told. We
realize that Russia's dealings, and
indeed the allies' dealings, have
been affected by Russia's policy in,
the Jewish question."
The bill to remove the limita-
tions placed on Jews will not pass,
however, without considerable op-
position. The opponents say that
the Jews W(011(1 501)11 have the peas-
ants at their mercy because they are
keener business men.
Particularly do Russian leaders
resent outside interference in set-
tling the Jewish problem. Count
I:okovtsow, ex-prime minister and
minister of finance, expressed his
attitude to use in this manner :
"In the Cnited States you force
southern people to pay taxes which
you use in huge sums to pay pen-
sions to northern people exclusive-
ly. Ilut von wouldn't like it if we
refused to have any dealings with
You until you treated southerners
just as VOU treat northerners."

The Duty of Wayne VOters
Although supporters of the Detroit candidate for governor
are trying might and main, with the co-operation of three daily
newspapers of the metropolis, to place the candidacy of Albert E.
Sleeper of Bad Axe in an unfavorable light, there is every reason
to believe that the public will accept any and all rumors with
liberally sprinkled salt.
Abraham Lincoln once made a remark about it being impos-
sible to fool all the people all the time, and we arc inclined to
believe that this common sense detected by the first president of
American Republicanism will make itself particularly apparent
on Tuesday, August 29.
For men who already claim to have gathered thousands upon
thousands of majority votes in Wayne county into the fold of
their employer's candidacy, Mr. Leland's backers still betray a
singular anxiety as to the movements and the prospects in Wayne
of other candidates, particularly Albert E. Sleeper of Bad Axe.
This palpable apprehension is the result of a sudden realiza-
tion (which probably has only just penetrated through the con-
ceit and prejudice of obtuse minds,) of the fact that Mr. Sleeper's
Wayne county organization is the most formidable factor with
which the Detroit candidate has to deal. Otherwise, if every-
thing was serenely pro-Leland, and there only remained the job
of estimating the majority of that candidate, we would not have
him spending much valuable coin in running full page litho-
graphs of himself.
There are reasons for this steady encroachment of Sleeper
sentiment on what might be
termed foreign territory.. This
year's Oakman-Farrell split
has ruptured the spirit of unity
and harmony which, according
to reports, was the prevailing
factor of the Wayne county
Republican convention held in
the spring. One of the tenta-
cles of disaffection has reached
out to take in the Leland can-
didacy for governor and we
find a number of the political
men in Wayne for the Detroit-
er and a number against him.
But the failure of Leland
supporters to effect the unity
of Wayne county voters on
the Detroit man's candidacy is
also due to the success of Al-
bert E. Sleeper's lieutenants
in arousing an unmistakably
sincere sentiment for the Bad
Axe man in this district. The
response to a local campaign
A. E. SLEEPER
waged strictly along the lines
laid down by the primary law has been very flattering, and, if
polling booth affairs on primary day are reasonably decent,
Sleeper men expect a vote for their candidate which will astound
many a Wayne politician and serve to give the Huron man a
satisfactory lead.
The reputation of Mr. Sleeper as a respected citizen and a
clean and capable business man has found favor among the
people of Detroit and environs, the excellent record made by the
Bad Axe man while four years state treasurer being particularly
appreciated. The complimentary opinion of daily newspapers
of Detroit and elsewhere during the years of Mr. Sleeper's in-
cumbency, on the business methods of the man, has helped to
substantiate many a contention.
It is very evident that the people of Michigan—which in-
cludes the people of Wayne county—are going to nominate the
candidate for governor who is the finest, most capable candidate.
Because Mr. Sleeper has kept his hands clean all the way
through this campaign and has constantly made it known that he
does not want the governorship if he has to purchase it or secure
it through employing questionable methods, thinking citizens
everywhere are going to the polls for him on primary day,
August 29.
"Sleeper for governor" is the logical phrase, the phrase sen-
sible people are talking. If realized in its first stage it means a
clean nominee and a capable, businesslike nominee, able to win
in November for the Republican party. It is the supreme duty
of Michigan's clean voters to boost for Sleeper of Bad Axe on
Tuesday, the 29th, as the Wolverine state's biggest and best can-
didate.
