Michigan senators are reported as
divided in their support of presidential
candidates. Senator Smith is warm
advocate of President Roosevelt's re.

Alden Smith expressed his opinion in
no uncertain terms regarding Speaker
Cannon in speech in the house of rep
resentatives on March II, 1904, in which
he said:
1.-The House of Representatives, Mr..
Speaker, has always been in the estima-
tion of thinking people, the highest ex.

all classes of our people, have here dis
charged their public duty. Here in the
House of Representatives Mr.. Blaine
was chosen to lead our party. L, as a
boy, sat in the national Republican con-
vention at Chicago twenty-four years
ago and saw the popular demonstra-
tion of the public will lift from this
House its most conspicuous figure, a
giant in politics in our country, and
James A. Garfield led us to victory in
that campaign. Applause The SER
vice of William Mckinley as Member
of Congress fitted him for the most con.
spicuous service ever rendered his

resorting to any of the arts of the dem

less memory of well-spent life. Sir,

In an interview in Detroit few days
ago. Senator Burrows expressed him
sslf rs follows:
81 believe" said Senator Burrows
'$hat the coming session will be the
most important in the entire history OF
ths country. The questions of the cur
mneY, the merchant marine, the navy,
Tho Philippines, issues growing out OF
Tina Monroe doctrine, the railway prob
lem. which is yet unsettled, are all OF
eaoxmous Importance in their bearing
apoa the country and its welfare, and
avon more difficult to solve than the
pFablems of the civil war. In the latter
ssso the situation was comparatively
SIMPLE. for there were just two sides,
Mat for and that against the govern
mont. But in the problems which now
senfsont us the issues are far more COM
pacated and their solution will afford
sslisf to the country for :all time to
pose They require sober thought and
na.noise."
Senator Burrows believes that the
sentiment through the country is over.
whslmingly in favor of Theodore Roose-
sslt. and that, were he nominated to-
dag. no would be elected.
II think, said the senator, that the
xsats convention ought to endorse the
Standardization and stand by Roosevelt
aua Michigan should send an unin-
yaructed delegation Of able men to the
national convention. | hope the state
,xpayention will think it wise not to give
ahs Michigan delegation instructions,
NO shat they may go foot-loose and
anngue loose and be a factor in the
caoice and feel at liberty to exercise
aheir best judgment. If instructed and
sosced to vote for losing man it puts
khe Michigan delegation in the soup.
a.As to the tariff, / don't believe any
sssatiment has crystalized. r. OF course it
ia universally recognized that here and
thsre certain articles in the schedules
3ssald be schanged. But the great
lss<ble is, that if you touch one it
means of necessity the revision of the
whole tariff schedule; and it seems to
mo that il were better to suffer our
EHosent ills, than to fly to those that we
know not Of When you begin to work
rpon the tariff, industriesyclose down,
axsiness becomes unsettled. l think
Ne matter should be delayed as long as

pnally, would be glad If we had

For Taft-Aga,nst FREQ Sugar.

Congressman Loud, of the 10th dis
trict, states his views regarding the
presidential nomination and the sugar
tariff as follows:
II have always opposed to my ut
most the Cuban reciprocity treaty, and
l shall work for it's abrogation at it's OK
piration.
II have done my utmost in opposi.
ton to the reduction of Philippine sug-
ar, and shall continue to oppose it. l
have been consistent insurgent on all
sugar legislation coming before con-
gress since l have been a member of
that body; standing up shoulder to
shoulder with Joe Fordney and the other
stalwart 90 against the whole strength
of the house of representatives, 3SS
members.
LAS to the presidential nominee,
believe large majority of the people
of the United States, irrespective of
party, north and south, east and west,
want President Roosevelt renominated.
/ am for President Roosevelt.
'In the selection of candidate for
the presidency so many questions are
involved, the interest of the entire peo-
pie, in fact, the prosperity of the ma
ton, that am not willing to permit
mans position on the subject alone to
determine my preference. Mr.. Taft,
next to the President, in my judgment,
more nearly represents the sentiment
of the American people on all public
questions than any candidate whose
name has been mentioned. Next to
President Roosevelt favor his nomina-
tion."
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1907-11-08

Telegraphic reports from Manila are
to the effect that Secretary Taft says
ihat the efforts to pass bill reducing
the tariff on sugar and tobacco imported
into the United States from the Philip
pines will be resumed at the opening
Of Congress, and that he hoped com
promise measure might be passed linn
thing the amount of importation. That
is Just what Congressman Fordney sug-
gested at the last session of congress
and when he proposed to fix the amount
MT the maximum which the friends of
the bill stated could be produced in the
islands, Secy. Taft wanted to double
tho figures.

INSANITY CAUSES MURDER.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Rogers Found
Dead at Home Near Bancroft.


One of the saddest and most terrible
crimes committed in this county in
years was discovered by Edward White
Tuesday noon when he returned from
Bancroft to the farm of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Rogers, where he was working,
and found them both dead on the
kitchen floor. He Immediately notified
the authorities and an investigation
showed that Rogers had evidently be-
come insane soon after breakfast and
when his wife went to the bedroom
for something he attacked her and then
ensued terrible struggle. the bed,
walls. table and chairs being covered
with blood, furniture broken, piece of
stove wood covered with blood and hair
from the woman's head. Through the
sitting room to the dining room were
evidences of the struggle. the curtain
at the door being torn down, the side
board shaken so that the glassware was
broken and bloody finger marks in
many places. The struggle culmin-
ated in the kitchen where the wife fell
near the stove, hacked on the face,
neck, arms, hands and body. The crazy
man then went to the grindstone in the
back yard and sharpened his razor, re-
turned to the kitchen, slashed his neck
severing every artery and fell beside his
wife. He had probably cut himself
badly before as there was trail of blood
from the house to the grindstone, but
he washed, took off his rubber boots
and rearranged some of the displaced
furniture before completing the work
of suicide.
There does not appear to be any reason
for the double tragedy except that the
man was insane. Rogers was 80 years
of age, his wife SO, both were well and
happy, there never having been any
trouble or disagreement that any one
knows Of. They owned fine 80 acre
farm, all paid for, well stocked, the
buildings were good, the couple had
many friends and nothing to dis urb
their continued happy relations except
the touch of insanity which the man is
said to have showed signs of for many
years. In fact he was married when %
years of age but on account of his queer
actions at times his wife's father in
duced his daughter to leave Rogers and
secure divorce. He was married the
second time two years ago.
Rogers is survived by his aged moth
er, Mrs George Rogers of Bancroft, one
brother, Grin, who lives near Bancroft,
and one sister, Mrs. George Clay, of
Lansing. Mrs. Rogers was daughter |
of the late Mr.. and Mrs John Atkins,
of Antrim. and is survived by three
brothers, Floyd, of Corunna, Jay and |
Claud, of Antrim, and three sisters,
Mrs. Frank Corral, Bancroft, Mrs. j.
Morgan and Mrs. Elmer Fuller, of An
trim township.
The funeral will be held this after
noon from the house which has been
made as presentable as possible and the |
couple will be buried in one grave in
the little cemetery a mile and half |
from the home.
The fullest sympathy of the people of |
the south part of the county and many |
friends of both the. Rogers and Atkins
families in all parts of the county is ex-
ended.

The eighth district of Michigan has
settled its business in the election of
two delegates to the National Republi-
GAn convention pledged to ample pro.
lection to American industry in general
and to the Michigan sugar industry in
particular This result is due largely
TO The devotion of the voters to Repub-
6can principles and to the answering
loyalty of Congressman Fordney to the
industry in which millions of dollars
have been invested and nearly 40, 900
Michigan farmers are growing beets for
its maintenance. The position of Mr..
Fordney has been assaulted by free trad

Youthful Sport.

There is a certain western congress man, a golf enthusiast, who when he came to Washington for the first time was accustomed to get to the Chevy Chase clubs links early in the morn ing, when there would be no one to witness his lack of skill.
 On one occasion a caddie had fol lowed him to the tee and offered to go the course with him for the modest compensation of 50 cents.
 T don't need you, my boy" said the representative, 'Tll go it alone;" and as he spoke the westerner, making a tremendous swipe at the ball, missed it by a foot
 "I'll go around with you for a quarter, sir" said the caddie.
 Again the amateur declined the cad dies attendance; and again he swung at the ball, with the same result.
 "Tll go with you for 15 cents," said the boy.
 This so rattled the newcomer that re made three more wild swings. The scaddie, as he retreated bit, called out
 round for nothing. I'll go for the fun of it."-Harper's Weekly.
