The Rural New Yorker, one of the leading agricultural papers of the Nation, speaks thus to Michigan farmers: "The farmers of Michigan may well congratulate themselves. They are making solid progress towards political recognition. If they do not secure the rights that any political party can bestow upon them, it will be their own fault. Hon. C.G. Luce has just been nominated for Governor by the Republicans. The nomination was unanimous and hearty. Mr. Luce is a farmer. As Master of the State Grange he has labored for years for the best interests of the farm. He is a sound, honest outspoken man -as near to the ideal farmers' candidate as we can well imagine. Farmers to the front every time say we. Whenever the opportunity offers it is the duty of farmers to show their power. What better chance will the farmers of Michigan ever have than the present? Here is a chance to place a man from their own ranks in the highest office in the State. Do it, say we, and prove that it can be done."
