IS A CANDIDATE
For United States Senator In
Algers Place.
VIM. Alden smith The Popular Con-
gressman Is Going After II.

For some time it has been pretty well
settled fact that Vim. Alden Smith the
popular Congressman from the 5th Dis
trict had his eye on the place in the
United States Senate, which Gen. r. A.
Alger occupies and who because of fail
ing health desires to vacate it,
Recently it was definitly given out that
Mr.. Smith is in line for the seat and
would go after it with ali the vigor and
enthusiasm which has characterized eve
ry campaign he has undertaken and in
which he has always been successful.
Mr.. Smith is now in Washington at
tending the session of congress which
convened Monday and has already be-
gun preliminary arrangements for his
campaign as will be noticed by the follow
ing special dispatch to the Detroit
Journal:
Washington, Dec because he is
candidate for the United States senate,
Rep VIM Alden Smith today took action
unprecedented in the history of the house.
He voluntarily asked Speaker Cannon
to fill his place on the foreign affairs COM
mites by the appointment of Edwin Den
by OF Detroit.
He has resigned from the chairmanship
OF the Michigan delegation in favor of
Rep. Bishop. who has been in congress an
equal number of years with the Grand
Rapids man. and he has disposed Of all
his holdings in the Pere Marquette rcsd.
Mr. Smith took all these actions today
and says he takes them in order to be
free to push his canvass for the senator.
ship In resigning his dictatorship of the
Pere Marquette, Mr. Smith says that he
does so 70 be absolutely unhampered in
any way on the question of railroad rate
legislation.
Rep. DENLY is anxious to get on the
foreign affairs committee, and this action
of Mr.. Smith will undoubtedly give him
the place.

Twenty-seven deer were brought into
the city Saturday by the freight train
from the north. They were fine lot and
it is doubtful il any other small town in
the state received as many in one day
consigned to local hunters. Fifteen Of
them belonged to the Jersey hunting par
ty, eight to the dden-Upson party and
two each to r. R. Edwards and DR.. G..
A. Stanton. Among the lot were sever
al fine specimens of the male deer with
beautiful heads and horns. w. L. Ship
man and Chas. Madden intend to have
the heads of those they killed mounted to
preserve as keepsakes.
Mr.. Madden got two deer, one weigh
ing $50 pounds and the other 1913
pounds; Mr.. Shipman one 1873 pounds
and one | 81 pounds Mr. Upson two
weighing 95 pounds and Will Cases two
40 pounds. All the other hunters had
fine fat ores and neighbors and friends
have enjoyed some choice stews and
roasts through their generosity. Will
Case: had his Kodak along and took
some good views of the camp and party
he was with and also of Mr. Shipman
after he had strung up the fine buck he
killed.
The editor returns thanks for the hunk
cut out sof the tenderest part Of the
animal on which the whole family have
feasted.

The amount Of mail received at U. S.

such proportions that the Commissione er
of Pensions, Washington, D C, has is
sued an order directing U. S. pension

the case of vouchers received in plain en-
velopes short paid the agent will receive
and pay the deficient postage and notify
the sender that payment is suspended un-
til the amount of postage has been re-
funded by the sender This action will
cause considerable delay in making pay
ment upon vouchers which are received
in envelopes having insufficient postage
and to avoid such possible delay, great
care should be exercised in mailing pen
