IN TO STAY.
Sec. Alger Will Not Withdraw
from Senatorial Fight.
Governor Pingree Announces That He
Will Back the Secretary.
Gen. AIger Not Only Will Stick but Will Not
Spend Any Money.

Detroit. Mich, June Ex-Governor
Pingree gave out a public statement
today, to the effect that he had com
bined with Secretary Alger in the in
terest Of Ayers senatorial candidacy
Gen. Alger will not withdraw under
any circumstances, nor will ne spend
any money in the campaign. The pat
form of their campaign will incluie he
features of opposition to trusts and a
declaration in favor Of senatorial eltc-
tions by direct vote of the people.
The alliance was made at a confer
ence. last night, at which several of the
Pingree state leaders and the genera
and the governor were present.
Said the governor:
II have avoided committing myself

TO talk with the general first. But all
along General Alger has been my per
sonal choice for senator. L wired al
Petosky, asking him if | could see him
in Detroit on his way back to Wash

me. last evening.
"Of course | can't speak for my
friends but those | have talked with
are Alger men beyond question. They
cannot support Senator Mcmillan
They certainly cannot be classed as
friends of mine if they do. They can
not forget eight years of political his
tory in a day, nor can they leave with
the representatives Of 'judicious com
binations' and unequal taxation ana
pretend at the same time to he friends
of equal and just taxation and foes to
trusts.
AT our meeting. last night. General
Aleer told us frankly the history of his
relations with Senator Mcmillan in the
matter of the senatOrship. he has
dealt with General Alger the same as
he has treated everyone who questions
his ownership of the Republican party.
General Alger is in the race and in
it to stay to the end" said the govern
or. "and you can say in the strongest
English you can write that | am with
him heartily and propose to DO all /

to aid his candidacy. As General Al
