Mflls For Repkesentative.

The democracy of the second district of Washtenaw did wisely in renomjnating Hon. F. E. Mills for representative in the state legislature. Mr. Mills is a representative and successful farmer, conservative and safe, capable and honest and experienced in the duties of the position for which he has been named. His past record shows him to be a faithful and conscientious puplic servant. As a member of the legislature he was always in his place and on the alert to protect or further the interests of his constituents. He rendered excellent service to the Normal school, which is in his district, in the matter of regular appropriations, and also on the bill making an appropriation for the building of a gymnasium at that institution. He succeeded in getting this bill out of committee after the speaker and caucus had decided that it must not be reported out. He also made a personal canvass of the house in the interest of the bill and it finally passed with a two-thirds majority. In the matter of the bill providing for a county and township system of roads, he interested himself in securing to the people the right to vote on the question and his influence was potent in ing the bilí to lts betterment. Mr. Mills is a firm believer in the idea that the tendency of legislative bodies is to pass too many laws, many of which are illconsidered and unnecessary, and that only result in litigation and are without public advantage. He considers it his duty therefore to carefully study all bilis and to use his influence in opposition to such as are of doubtful public utility. Mr. Mills is a thorough democrat, is upright and honorable, is opposed to all extravagance in public expenditures and is in every way competent and worthy. He will receive every democratie vote in his district and will be elected.
