senators sat at the front of the plat
form with the presiding officer, and
both were loudly cheered when they
came in.

Trust In Politics.
From The Michigan Sugar Beet.
A Washington correspondent of q De-
troit paper sends out the prediction that
the sugar trust will now go after the
scalp Of Sugar Beet joe Fordney, of
Saginaw, to square accounts for Ford
ney's stand on thxSuban bill, and that
the trusts candidate will be Hon, Watts
Humphrey, of Saginaw. Probably
there is nothing in this prediction more
than rainy day" space writing The
Hon. Watts Humphrey is far from being
in sympathy with the Cuban treaty, and
he knows perhaps as well as any other
man in the sugar business the probable
effect of the passage of the treaty on the
beet sugar industry in his own valley
and in his own state Mr.. Humphrey
would be good man in the house--he's
a forceful. man. logical in his conclusions
and honest .iIi his convictions He S
just such man as the Combinations Of
capital do not want in congress. He's
the kind the people want, but just for
thepresept Joe Stands pretty solid and
it would take a lot ofibutting to push
him out of the way Fordney has earn
ed unanimous denomination and ought
to get it, Mr.. Humphrey can wait.

NORA CANDIDATE.
At Least He Has Not Authorized Any
one to Interest Themselves In That


Direction.
From The Caro- Advertiser.
The Saginaw News, which processes
to have a great interest in the repubi-
can congressional situation in this dis
trict, although democratic paper, is
imagining that Watts S. Humphrey will
contest the field against Representative
Fordney next year for congress. Mr..
Humphrey is an able, clear sighted law
yer, and most estimable gentleman,
and he is doubtless able to see clearly,
even at this time, how fruitless such an
effort would be. No man in Michigan
is stronger with his constituents than
Representative Fordney, and the voters
of the eighth district will be 10th, indeed
to decide against one who has been so
loyal and interchangeable in their interests.
When asked by reporter as to how
much truth there was in the statement
in the News, Mr.. Humphrey said:
"qou know as much regarding the
matter as l do. have not been APP
preached on the subject and have heard
nothing. If any close friends are doing
any figuring they are doing itso closely
that am not let into their secrets at
all Seriously, however, it appears to
me to be premature at this time to talk
Of such things. 1t is eleven months be-
fore the next election, and months and
months before the convention is to be
held. 1 never authorized anything of
the kind"
