PERSONAL TRIBUTES
From Prominent Public Men All Over

Manchester, Mass. June 1910 the
Editor: ExGov. Pingree's death, so
unexpected and under such sad cir
cumstances, will bring sorrow to the
hearts of all citizens of Michigan. His
family have my deepest sympathy
James Mcmillan.
Hon Don NJ. Dickinson, among other
things, said of the late ex-governor:
1T is hard TO realize that his ia
miliar figure will pass in and out
among us no more, and that the
unique and healthful influence of his
personal presence in our politics has
forever passed away.
That he was destined to be a more
potent factor in public affairs than
ever in the past | never doubted. He
was sometimes wrong, but always hon
estly so. When wrong, ii was usually
in methods, but rarely, if ever, in the
ends he sought.
1T is doubtful whether the death
of any public man would come as a
personal grief to as many people in
this state as will this sad news"
Congressman Washington Gardner
said:
"Hazen ). Pingree was the most
unique figure that ever occupied the
governors chair in Michigan. Many
who differed from him in his measures
and methods will sincerely mourn him
as an honest man, an enterprising cit
izen and a public-spirited character
who linked his name with that of his
adopted state in two hemispheres.
Mt. Clemens, Mich, June 19.-The
death Of Gov. Pingree removes from

acteristics were those of commanding
superiority and enforced respect even
from those who disagreed with him in
many things. His death is a loss to
the state and the nation.-Edgar

Adrian, Mich, June 19.-No man in

will be of lasting benefit to the state
and the nation.-Henry c. Smith.
Hon. Jonn T. Rich, collector of the
port of Detroit, and Mr.. Pingree's i'm
mediate predecessor in the guberna
torial chair, paid a splendid tribute
to the ex-governor. He concluded as
follows:
"Mr. Pingree was the very embodi.
ment of energy, and while some of
that energy was misdirected, he &C.
complished a wonderful amount in the
10 years he was in public life. He will
be greatly missed and his family and
