DDS Objectionable in Saginaw.
! From the Detroit Journal:
Saginaw, Mich, Oct. 1O.-Special
The idea OF the democrats in nominal.
! ing Wellington r. Burt for congress in
the eighth district was that his disburse-
ments of dough" would materially
strengthen the county ticket in this
county, and in fact Mr.. Burt was the
only man known who was willing to
bear the burden of the campaign. But
there are democrats in large numbers
in Saginaw who never took kindly to
his candidacy, and think less of it since
the nomination was made Mr.. Burt is
not popular personality in this county,
by reason of his aggressiveness and
strong personal traits which repel
rather than attract. He is what is
often referred to as 'rule or RUM
kind of man, since If he cannot have his
own way in business or in politics he
refuses to play. 1t is remembered by
many democrats in this city. and they
are now talking it openly. that Mr. Burt
openly opposed Congressman Brucker
in his contest for reelection two years
ago, and the defeat of Mr.. Brucker is
largely attributed to the "pernicious"
activity of Mr.. Burt. 1t is even alleged
that he subscribed literally to the fund
raised to defeat Brucker, and caused
literature to be placed among the Ann
Arbor railway employees in Shiawassee
county that was not calculated to make
votes for Brucker. The latter has
many friends in Saginaw, and while
some of his supporters of two and four
years ago have dropped differences and
are helping Burt, there are others busily
engaged in knitting him and they
promise to continue the work up to the
closing of the polls on the night of No.

From every line of blu ,iness, and from al
most every portion of this state and OF The
United States, men are constantly aunounc-
ing that they will vote this year for Nc
kinley and tor republican congressman. A
large majority of these men will also vote
for republican members of their legisla-
lures. The state legislatures elect the
United States senators and that great body
should be of the same party as the presi-
dent, quite as much as should the house of
representatives. In fact the senate is a
greater power for evil il in the hands of o.
ponents of the president than is the house.
Senator Mcmillan has stood for twelve
years uphoding the hands of the presidents
In every way that meant advancement to
the country's best interests-in the pass
Ing of the tariff law that made prosperous
he hundreds of thousands of sheep owners
of the country, that made glad the thou
sands of idle labOrers who now have work
at a large increase of wages over what they
had ever received, that made it possible for
the farmers of Kansas to pay off $40, 900, 600
of mortgages, much of which was put on
during the democratic administration that
had just closed, that made 1t possible for
this country to sell to foreign countries a
greater surplus over the products which we
bought, in three years, than had been sold
in hundred years before. But every vote
cast for the democratic member of the state
senate or house endangers the election of a
republican United States senate. DO not
be one TO add to this danger Vote for re-
publican candidates for the state legisla' ure.

handicap to his candidacy. He is max
ing his fight largely by arraigning the
republican party for imperialism, u
| yet in the state senate on February 3,
1898, before Bryan had discovered that
Imperialism was the paramount" issue,
Senator Burt introduced resolution,
which was adopted, requesting the sena.
tors and representatives of the congress
of the United States to use all honorable
means to accept the overtures of the
Hawaiian commissioners, and by prop.
er treaty or otherwise annex those
islands to the United States.
Mr.. Burt's record on the subject of
trusts is not less vulnerable. He has
bitterly attacked trusts in his speeches,
charging the republican party with be.
ing responsible for them and fostering
and encouraging their growth, yet it is
only few years ago that he made a
trip to England for the express purpose
of enlisting capital in the formation of
a national salt trust. He is now receiv-
ing S50,00 annually from the Rockefel-
Ter trust as royalties on iron ore taken
from lands he owns in Minnesota and
which were leased to the Rockefeller
syndicate, and he has been and is still
interested in various combinations of
capital Nothing would be thought of
this but for Mr.. Burt's sudden CONVEX
sion to the Bryan idea that trusts are a
menace to the prosperity of the country.
In business way, it is argued that
Mr.. Burt is not entitled to the support
of the people of Saginaw county. One
of the prominent democrats. and one
who is doing all that he can to prevent
Mr.. Burt from representing the eighth
district in congress, said today:
About every industry with which
Burt has been associated in this city
has had troubles through him. Unless
he could dictate the methods by which
they were conducted he would pull out
A few years ago the AK e. Tool factory,
the Saw & File works, the Bending
works, the Fiege Desk Co., and the
Home National bank were all doing bust
ness in Saginaw, and were potential
factors in its industrial and financial
growth. Where are theyY Gone, and
w. r. Burt is chiefly responsible for
their going, as any business man in
Saginaw familiar with their history will
admit. The Home National bank at the
time Mr. Burt decided to wind up its
career, in spite of the protests of others,
was the strongest banking institution
in the state for its capitalization, and
the stock was valued at more than q
for 81. When it was proposed to build
a sugar factory in Saginaw did Mr.. Burt
take hold of it, Not at all, but he in
vested large sum through his SON in
