The Washington correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press, in writing Of former
Michigan men, speaks as follows of q. A.
Towne: "Another old Michigan man WHO'S
enumerated among the new members OF
Congress is Chas. A. Towne, who sails in
from the zenith city of the unsalted seas by
the trfliing plurality of $4,000. Towne came
originally from Spring Lake, afterwards
went to Lansing and thence to Marquette,
leaving glittering and meteoric trail OF
sophomore and unripend eloquence in every
city that he touched in his rapid flight from
town to town. Oratory was always his
strong card and he is now starred on the
bills for the next congress as the only posi-
bic rival of Michigan's own William Alden
Smith, in the broad field of fine forensic
fancy. The leaves were not as thick in
Vallambrosa as peerless orators are in every
congress, and prehaps neither Towne nor
Smith will carry off the capitol with the ease
that Samson is said to have dragged away
the gates of GAIA"
This correspondent should locate Towne
as from Owosso, not Spring Lake.

"The Politician" said in the Detroit Trib-
une of Tuesday: State senator Barnard,
of Grand Rapids is at the Cadillac. He
is thorough-going Patton man and does
not hesitate to declare his belief that when
the time comes the junior senator will re-
ceive the votes of the senators and represen-
tatives from Kent County despite the reports
OF disagreement there. II can't say positive
iy that they will all vote for Mr.. Patton, !" he
said, "but l believe they will. The senti-
ment in the county is overwhelmingly in
his favor. In fact there is no real opposi-
ton to him except by few men who have
been able to make considerable noise
There is the small Pingree element which
is against Governor Rich and everyone with
whom he has friendly relations, but outside
of that influence, which is inconsiderable,
there are no more than FIVE men opposing
him. Their reasons are personal
Within the past week Representatives
Graham and Weeks, having looked over the
ground in their districts and satisfied them
selves that the people are for Patton have
come out flat footed In support of him, and
the only uncertain ones now are the city
members. 1 believe they will swing into
line for the man their constituents want,
and that man is Senator John Patton, Jr."

Ann Arbor Courier: The republican
press of Michigan can not enter any too
many notes of warning to the coming legis-
lature. That body has it in its power to
continue the fine republican majority in
this state. or it can turn the state over to
the enemy, perhaps. The people demand a
short, buslness.like session. Sixty days
ought to be a sufficient length of time to do
all the business Michigan wants dore. The
fewer laws passed the better. We have too
many laws now on the statute books. 1t
would be better to wipe some of the "dead
letter" laws off than to put any more on.
Then it should be careful about extrav-
agance in taxation. Enough funds to
economically administer all the charitable
and educational institutions of the state,
and pay the current expenses of the state
government-and then-and then adjourn
ment. Make it sixty days, and no jangle

The SpeakerShin-

From the State Republican, October a.
The Republican notes that the question
of the next speakership of Michigan's house
of representatives is already being agitated
in several sections of the state, and prob
able candidates for that honor are receiving
newspaper mention. Following this pre-
cedent, we have the pleasure of announcing
that in the event of party success at the
polls the republicans of Ingham county will
this year also enter the race for the speaker
ship, and will present as their candidate
Hon. j. T. Campbell, Of Mason.
Mr.. Campbell will be remembered as
member of the house in the legislature of
1893, and as one of the most liberal minded,
painstaking, and popular gentlemen upon
the republican side. Cautious in his judg-
ments, and courteous in their expression,
Mr.. Campbell displayed, early In that ses-
sion, traits which commanded the conf
dence OF his party colleagues and the re-
spect of his opponents, and marked him as
possessing IN an unusual degree the quaifi-
cations for superior presiding officer.
Without detracting in the least from the
abilities, merits. or claims of other candl-
dates for the speakership, the Republican is
confident that none of these can be main
tanned which will not apply with equal
force to the candidacy OF Mr.. Campbell,
while his clean and popular record as

Every indication points to the fact that
Chase S. Osborn, the energetic and popular
editor of the Sault Ste Marie News, will
be the next game and fish warden of Michi-
gan. THE TIMES heartily and enthusiast
tically endorses him for the appointment.
Gov. Rich cannot find better man in Mich
igan for the position. Mr.. Osborn is an
enthusiastic sportsman and believes in the
strict enforcement of the game laws. Such
a man as he is should ill the office. The
VIM and earnestness which he puts into
every undertaking will make him the
most efficient warden the State has ever
had. His appointment will be decidedly
popular one.
