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.

Nominated five times in Detroit and elected five times in Detroit—will win Theodore C. BETZOLDT in Detroit, August 29th. Began life as a newsboy ; Republican Candidate for now successful business man. State Legislatur e kr) 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.
