LETTERS and personal assur-
ances have come to Governor
Warner from every county in the
state and from the different sec
tons Of most of the counties,
from republicans who voted
against him two years ago and
who this year intend not only to
vote for him but to cordially
work for his election. Their
party faith and party zeal have
been strengthened by Governor
Warmers courageous course in
seeking first the interests of the
people and the best good of the
state in his actions on all ques-
tions that have come before him.

"Rote of Waves. ~

1t is a favorite theory with fishing
and sea-faring people that in a storm
three waves are strong and violent.
while the fourth is comparatively weak
and less dangerous. This succession
they call "rote of waves" Fishermen
returning from their fishing-ground
often prove by experience the truth OF
their theory, and hang back as they
come near the shore to take advantage
of the lull that follows three big
breakers.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh or
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability TO hold urine and
scalding pain III passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and TO get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
II stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp Root is pleasant TO take and is
sold by all druggists i'll fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a

covery and book that tells all about it,

or total of a little more than
three billion dollars. Whether
the two months for which the
record has not yet been received
will show as large an average as
that made during the 10 months
is quite uncertain, as May and
June figures are usually slightly
below the average, both as to
imports and exports; but it now
seems quite apparent that both
imports and exports will be much
larger than in any preceding
year.
The figures of the fiscal year
1905 exceed, both as TO imports
and exports, those of any prior
year, ard the fact that the re-
corded imports of 10 months of
1906 exceed by nearly 100 mil
lions those of the corresponding
months of last year, and that ex
ports exceed by over 200 millions
those of corresponding months
of last year, suggests that there
can be no doubt that the fiscal
year 1906 will make the highest
record ever shown in both i'm
ports and exports, and therefore
the largest total of foreign com
merce.

ElirorioI oo7-enr,
Election of U. S. Senator's.

FROM a book just written by
Prof. George H. Haynes, en-
titled 1.-The Election of United
States Senators, we CLEAN the
following statistics:
Nineteen states have made a
demand upon congress through
their legislatures to have con-
vention called for the purpose OF
u b m lifting constitutional
amendment into formal language
which will be binding upon con-
gress the moment two thirds OF
the states have so acted. Mich
igan being among this number.
Twelve other states have at
one time or another passed reso-
lutions, asking congress either
to propose or to Submit such
an amendment, or have invited
the states to join in conference
to work for the reform. Ohio
and Pennsylvania are among the
IL, and had the other 10 states
formally demanded that a con-
vention be called. there would be
81 states joining in the demand,
and that would mean the time
had come when the senates OBJ
lection to seeing itself brought
more directly under popular con-
troll would not avail to check the
movement. Taking the states
and dividing them into four
groups, North Atlantic, North
Central, Southern and Western,
we find the movement very in
teresting study; and further, that
of II North Atlantic states,
Pennsylvania alone has taken
action. On the other hand, of 10
North Central states not one
have failed to act, repeatedly,
favorably upon the proposition,
Indiana being the only one who
has not passed resolutions once,
twice or thrice, within the last
five years
"Of the 13 Southern states.
Virginia, South Carolina, Ala
bama and Mississippi are the
only ones who have not acted,
and ia every one Of these states
Senators are now as a matter
of fact chosen at popular pri-
maries, which gives the states
the substance of the reform,
though not its constitutional
guarant tee. OF the II Western
states every one has acted favor
ably upon the proposition within
the past five years, one Of which,
Oregon, having chosen the sen
ator elect by popular vote.
Michigan has passed resolu-
tions both in the Legislature and
republican state conventions ask
ing that congress submit an
amendment to the constitution
favorable to the method, and our
senior senator, Mr.. Burrows, has
repeatedly stated that he was in
favor and would vote for it when
ever given the opportunity. We
believe the coming legislature
can, if they will, enact law that
will give to the voters an oppor-
tunity TO select their senator by
some method that will bring the
election nearer to the people.
Michigan has always been rep
resented in congress by able and
upright men, and whatever
method pursued will continue 70
be so represented; but we believe
this method of choosing senators
by direct vote will result in bet
ter Legislation for the state, for
the simple reason that members
will be chosen with regard to
their qualifications as legislators
and not on who they will vote
for for United State Senator.
