A bit of wisdom given to his
father has played a large part
in the life of Judge Homer Fer-
gu.on. When he was a young-
ster in a coal mining commun-
ity of Pennsylvania, his father
used to say:
"Son, even a blind hog can find
an acorn if it will try long
enough."
All of his life, the Judge has
been searching for the acorns of
truth. And regardless of how
deeply they may have been hid-
den his unlimited patience has
to find them. This patience, his
tireless search for the truth, cat-
apaulted him into nationwide fame
when he was named in 1939, as
a one man grand jury to find out
the truth about Detroit's vast
racketeering ring. The Judge had
just returned from a tour of En-
gland, Scotland and Ireland where
he had seen the irresistible war
clouds moving over Europe.
Ile entered the race for the
United States Senate with that
same zest for meeting with and

talking to people, and with that
same enthusiasm for public serv-
ice and getting at the truth
which has so long characterized
hm.
His is a conviction now that
our war effort and our freedom
after the war are both jeopard-
ized by confusion—confusion at
Washington, confusion in our na-
tional thinking. Going to Wash-
ington would mean a reduction
in a salary of $5,000 a year to
him. He has never been a rich
man but one who has husbanded
his savings and feels that he is
in the position to make the sacri-
fice.
"Those boys in the training
camps and at the battle stations
are making a sacrifice," he says,
"why shouldn't I?"
He is the only Wayne County
Circuit Judge who has his tele-
phone number listed.
"I have no objection to anyone
calling me." he says. "I don't
think it jeopardizes my judicial
fitness."

ity of Michigan. He had the ad-
vantages of tutelage in the study
of law under the late Martin J.
Cavanaugh, of Ann Arbor, one of
Michigan's foremost lawyers of
his time.
In his few public utterances,
he often repeats: "This is a gov-
ernment by the people, not a rule
of the people by government.
When it comes to pass, if it ever
does, that the people cannot, or
will not, govern themselves, then
democracy, or government by the
people, will, in the language of
Lincoln, "perish from the earth'."
Next Nov. 3 the people of
Michigan will pass judgment on
the record of this man. That
record is an open book. From be-
ginning to end, it is a record of
hard work, efficiency, courage,
common sense, impartiality, and
above all, honesty of purpose.
fruly, Michigan does have a
"FORTHRIGHT" Attorney Gen-
eral.

7 Reasons Why
You Should

Harry F. Kelly stands for:

—The right of small business to survive. "Mich-

igan's 66,000 small businesses must not be unneces-
sarily sacrificed in this war effort."

*

—The proper use of the governor's appointive

power. "My selections will be based on merit and

qualifications and not in payment of political debts:'

—The increase in Old Age Assistance. "It must

be adequate to take care of increased costs of living:'

—The right of labor to organize and to engage

in collective bargaining. "Any peacetime rights
given up by labor to further the war effort must be
returned intact at the war's end."

*

—The practice of rigid economy in State Gov-

ernment. "Reserves must be built-up to enable the
State to operate during the post-war reconstruc-
tion era."

—The liberalization of the Workmen's Com-
pensation Act. "Its coverage must be made all-

inclusive, and its benefits made to conform with
today's costs of living."
