SENATOR ALGER,s ATTITUDE.

According to high state authority,
says a Grand Rapids dispatch, who en-
ioys the confidence of both prospective
candidates, Senator Alger, OF Detroit, is
trying to discourage Justus S. Stearns
from running for governor and Con.
gresham VIM. Alden Smith from enter
ing the senatorial race. This man says
Alger has talked with both Stearns and
Smith and urged them not to run. lie
declares Alger told Stearns that IL he
should run next year the people would
naturally Jump to the conclusion that
another battle of the barrels" cam
paign would be waged, and that the
Republican party of Michigan would be
greatly helped by the nomination OF at
least a comparatively poor man for gov
ernor.
The same authority declares that Sem
ator Alger advised Smith not to become
a candidate for senator; that Senator
Burrows would be heartbroken If he
were defeated. and that, anyway, Bur.
rows would be more valuable to Michi-
gan and the country generally than any
new senator, particularly in securing
places for himself on important senate
committees.
This friend of Stearns and Smith says
Ayers attitude is causing both pro-
spective candidates to hesitate about
running.
The information has been conveyed to
VIM. Alden Smith that if he will but lei
Burrows have another term everything
would be lovely six years later. In fact,
Burrows has been willing to give VIM.
Alden pledge that he will help elect
him in 1910, that being the year when
his term to which he would be elected
net year would have expired and
when, according to present plans, he
intends TO resye from public life.

When the war with Spain broke out
General Wood was an assistant surgeon
with the rank of captain, but through
the Intervention of powerful friends,

OF them, he was made colonel Of the
Rough Riders, of which Mr. Roosevelt
was lieutenant colonel.
He commanded that famous regiment

vanced to the rank of brigadier general
of volunteers.
He was then made military governor
of Cuba, where his work was of very
high order Of merit, not in the line OF

ecutive capacity in cleansing the island
of its filthy sanitary condition.
Since then he has been made briga

While Gordon q Benefits "a Royal

appeals at once to the intelligence and
