STATE SENATOR.
Mr.. Warner has twice represented
the Twelfth Senatorial District in the
State Senate, and although the youngest
man in the Senate during the two most
strenuous sessions in the history of the
state, yet from the beginning to the end,
his intelligent, fearless, honest, practi-
cal good judgment and counsel brought
to him the uniform respect of every
member of the legislature and every
we'll informed citizen of the state, re-
CARELESS of factional or party affilia-
tions. 1t was then that Fred M. War
ner convinced every one with whom he
came in contact that he did his own
thinking; that he relied on his own judg-

could swerve him from doing what he
thought was right.
SECRETARY OF STATE.

ed without opposition and each time a
source of great strength to his ticket at

ment this same great ability to deal
successfully with men and business
affairs. and this same honesty of pur-
pose, is now tower of strength to his
thousands of friends who are urging his

Auditors Mr.. Warner has on record ar

This board every year passes upor
thousands of bills that are annually pre-

are authorized or passed upon by thi
board were never more carefully guard

the lines of honest and practical bust

cited than his recent shrewd move Of
behalf of the state, whereby the Unite
States government is to pay twent
thousand dollars toward the expenses o
the forthcoming state census, thus no
only saving the people of the state o
Michigan twenty thousand dollars Il
