PLENTY OF TIMBER
FOR ALGER'S SEAT
Senatorial Aspirants From
Michigan Are Numerous.
GENERAL is IMPROVING
Spent Comfortable Night and Expects
To Resume His Seat on Next
Monday.

Senator Russell A. Alger will not be
candidate for reelection from Michigan.
His term will expire March next. and
II was admitted at his Washington resi-
dence today that he ha6 iinally decided
not TO be a candidate. because of his
physical condition.
As much as year ago it was re-
ported that Senator Alger would on
account of falling health give up his
scat II WAS even said at that time that
he would resign without serving out
the remainder Of his current term:
but of this there is small probability
For a fortnight he has been kept away
from the Capitol by his illness. but this
morning It was stated at his home that
he passed an excellent night and was
much improved. He expects TO resume
bis scat on Monday
Plenty of Timber.
Senator Alger's withdrawal Will be
the signal for opening a most interest
ing contest in Michigan. The State has
q remarkable delegation in the lower
house, that includes at least a half
dozen men of ample Senatorial dimen-
sions and mere or less admitted Sena-
torial ambitions-Townsend, Fordney,
II.
Hamilton DENLY, Gardner. Ii is more
than likely that all these gentlemen
will at least look over the situation
with care before deciding that they
feel no interest in the contest.
Then there is William Mcmillan, of
Detroit. perhaps the wealthiest man i'm
the State; son Of the late Senator Nc
MILAN. who is more than receptive For
a long time he has been diligently build
ing up an organization, i'm connection
with his business, personal and polit-
ical relationships, to help land him In
the seat which was occupied by his
father before his death. and which was
then filled by the election Of Senator
Alser.
Still Another Candidate.
Another active candidate is Arthur
Hill of Saginaw. He is another OF the
Michigan milliOnaiTes. and has a strong
following in his own section Of the
State.
The recent report Of the purchase Of
the Grand Rapids herald by Repre-
sentative William Alden Smith and Rep
rcsentative Mccall. of Massachusetts,.
was at the tiI@e supposed to have sig
nificance in connection with the ex-
pected Sena torial CONTEXT in the Stfte
Now tina; Senator Alger is definitely
out or IL. the significance is greatly
magnified

An effort is being made by the OFFICERS
of the Commercial club to have the
various commercial organizations in the
state send large representations to the
meeting of the transmississippi COM
merciaI congress, which is TO be held at
Kansas City, Mo-, on October 20 to %.
It is the desire of the local Commercial
club to have this congress endorse the
sennicentenniaI exposition which has
been planned for this city for 1911 and
they believe that an endorsement will
be secured if there is a good representa-
ton of the commercial bodies through
out the state at the congress.
Letters are being sent by Major An
derson, secretary of the club, to the Off
GERS of the commercial bodies through
out the state. and there are over two
hundred of them, asking them to see to
it that representatives are chosen soon
to attend this congress and it is believed

ing are being met by the Democratic
state committee While our campaign
fund is not of enormous proportions, it
is growing all the time. OF course We
are not receiving any contributions from

keepers in the state, but we are receiv-
ing voluntary donations from business
men and farmers throughout the state

Meeting Is Called at Chicago to
Discuss Plans.
HAS Been KEPT SECRET
All Railway BrOtherhoOds nay
Take Part in Scheme.
Desire to Equalize Pay on All
Roads and Raise Standard.

Chicago. Sept. 20.-A movement in
the direction of higher wages, greater
in scope than any demand previously
made by the operating employees Of the
railroads, will be initiated in Chicago
next week by the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers.
The engineers aim to embrace every
western road in the projected move
ment and to present demands jointly
and simultaneously. Heretofore. the
engineers on each system have been
content to act separately.
A plan also is in contemplation. and
is said to have received the quasi in
dorsement of at least two of the great
railroad brotherhoods, to take a stand
in which every operating employe in
the railroad business in the west shall
be represented in a request for higher
wages.
The movement of the engineers. it
was announced. will be pushed, re-
gardless of the attitude of the other
brotherhoods, although their co-opera-
ton IS desired.
Information concerning the engi-
neerS' project leaked out accidentally
last night. It became known that a
secret call had been issued for the
Chicago meeting and that extraordi-
nary precautions had been taken to
keep. knowledge of the scheme from
the railroads.
The call was issued by the grand
officers of the engineers brotherhood
from the Cleveland headquarters. It
stipulates that the chairman of the
adjustment boards of the various rail-
roads shall convene next week for the
purpose of formulating joint wage
scale, which is to be put into effect on
all systems operating west of line
drawn from Winnipeg through Chi
cago to New Orleans.
From local representatives of the en-
gineers' brotherhood it was ascertained
that the joint wage move arises from a
desire to equaIize the pay Of the loco
motive men ON all railroads.
