REP. WHITTAKER THE ONLY DEMOCRAT

WHO HAS SEEN PREVIOUS SERVICE IN STATE LEGISLATURE

Has the Distinction of Being the Nestor of Democracy at Lansing.

Representative B.C. Whittaker, of this district, is the only democratic member of the new house of representatives who has seen previous service in the legislature.  Although he as served but one term he is the Nestor of the democracy at Lansing, the only democrat in the legislature who has been there before.

He is watching with interest the contest for clerk of the house and makes no secret of his desire to see Clerk Miller re-elected.  Mr Whittaker says he makes an invaluable man and proves of great assistance to the various members of the legislature. It is suggested that if Miller needs them to secure the clerkship he can have the democratic votes, because of his proven efficiency.
