J. G. Kamil Urges
Ferguson's Election.
Describes Senatorial Candi-
date as Man Who Abhors
Intolerance
- Election of Circuit Court Judge
Homer Ferguson to the United
States Senate was strongly urged
this week by Joseph G. Karnil, a
life-long friend.
Referring to Judge Ferguson's
record as a jurist and as a leader
whose activities have been above
reproach, Mr. Kamil expressed a
desire to emphasize the fact that
Judge Ferguson has no preju-
dices, tkle.t he abhors hatred and
bigotry.
"I am cotifident that Judge Fer-
guson will make a great Senator,"
Mr. Kamil said. "He is a man of
learning and of faith. He respects
the rights and needs of all citi-
zens and always is the first to
come to the . aid of the under-
privileged. This country will be
well protected in time of crisis
with men like Judge Ferguson
in the Senate."

"Get the facts. Act accordingly. End the confus-

That is the plain, understandable platform of
Homer Ferguson, Michigan' s nationally famous
grand jury judge. And how this whole cauntry
NEEDS the service he offers in this critical hour!
Facts—action—victory! They go together. And
Homer Ferguson has the proved ability and cour-
age to get them for us. He will fight to bring
government out from under the table, INTO
PLAIN SIGHT. His leadership will be new and
inspiring.
Michigan's great fact-finder has earned the right
to become fact-finder for the whole nation.
