tells the people of Michigan that if
the tariff on raw sugar is reduced to

that with growing competition from

Rev. W. K. Jerome Announces
Candidacy For Election to

lIII.I,SI>AI.K. Mich., Feb. 20 —'iu
announcing in> caudidacx for the Re
publican nomination for state repre
sentative Lom tins disinct. I want it
understood that 1 stand squarely .Jor
the progressive Republican principle?
as adopted ai Chicago. Out. lb, h> llle
eonlerence of progressive Republicans
trout 30 states," said the Rev. \V. F.
Jerome, pastor of a local Episcopal
church.
"The progressive movement," tie
continued, "is a struggle to w rust the
coutrol of government from the rep
luseututhes of special privilege and
restore it to the control of the people.
1 The necessity for this movement
in Michigan is emphasized by ilie util
that tiie reactionary leaders of both
purties have in the past prevented
rhe enactment of important re form
legislation, while at the same time
they have worked night and day to
pass laws beneficial to special inter
ests The progressive movement
aims to nominate and elect tueu who
v. ill, w ith sincerity and singleness of
purpose, represent the rank and file
and carry out their will. This tnovi
tuent advocates sound constructive
legislation rather than destructive liti
gation which is always expensive to
the taxpayer.
“If nominated and elected. I will
do all in my power to secure the pass
age of a Joiut resolution submitting
to the people an amendment to the
constitution providing for the Initia
tive. referendum and recall.
"The people of this state will never
have their rights restored to them
until these three important principles
are embodied in the laws of the stale
They are the only means by which
unworthy public servants can be re
moved from office, wicked legislation
be prevented and popular guverumen:
restored to the people.
“I am heartily in favor of a presi
dential preference primary law, giv
ing the people a direct opportunity to
.express their choice for nominees of
all parties for president and vice
president.
“I am in favor of a strong corrupt
practices act in this state, securing
the publicity of all campaign con
tributions and expenditures, such pub
lication to be made betore election,
also limiting the expenditure to ac
tual legitimate expenses.
"The need of such a law is plainly
demonstrated by the fart that after
every election ugly rumors of the il
legitimate use of money, contributed
by large corporations to various can
didates startle our intelligence. It is
largely by this means that these
same Interests have secured the con
trol which they now possess. Investi
gation of similar rumors in various
other states have resulted In the tin
covering of legislative condition#
which are reacting against men of na
tional reputation.
‘ The question of taxation in Michi
gan has always caused a great deal
of dissatisfaction and I will favor
such reforms In our present system
as will tend to bring about an equal
ity. I believe that some of our large
corporations, such as the express com
panies. telegraph and telephone com
panies, railroad companies, and min
ing corporations of the upper penin
sula In particular have never paid
their Just share. I can see no reason
why they should not be compelled to
pav on the basis of their true valua
tion.”

t
LANSING. Mlch., Feb. 20.— According ■
to the annual report compiled by Sec- j
retary of State Martindale. 37.056
deaths occurred in Michigan last year. ,
which is 1.841 less than In 1910. There
were 6.852 deaths of Infants under
one year of age. or 18.5 per cent of
all deaths returned to the department
of state as having occurred last year.
Iniantlle paralysis caused 48 deaths
during the past. year. No comparison
of previous years can be made from
the deaths caused by this disease as
the yeai 1911 is the first in which the
disease was segregated from the other
diseases of the spinal cord. Secretary
Martindale says it is possible that
some deaths from this disease may
not have been recognized, owing to
the forms of return which are not suf
ficiently specific. In order that the
chances of such errors in the future
may be reduced to a minimum the
secretary urges that all physicians
use the accepted designation “acute
anterior poliomyelitis." when report
ing this disease upon the certificate
of death.
As usual tuberculosis was a great
destroyei of life. 2.640 deaths result
ing from this disease. The other prin
cipal causes of death follow: Typhoid
fever. 532; diphtheria and croup, 437;
starlet fever. 196; measles, 196:
whooping cough. 229: pneumonia.
