Humphrey, Of Saginaw, would answer
Mr. Glasgow, and in this respect the
audience was not in the least disap-
pointed. Mr.. Glasgow was fervid in
his remarks, but for out and out with
ering sarcasm and keen, clinching re-
tort, for eloquence, and for argument
that pounded home fact after fact and
showed up Governor Warner and his
associates in true light, Mr.. Hum
phrey made the speech that took the
crowd. And that the crowd was thor
oughly in sympathy with him was evil
denced by the frequent shouts of APP
proval and applause which so often
interrupted his remarks. In opening
Mr. Humphrey said he had hoped that
Mr. Glasgow would avoid politics, but
that inasmuch as he, Glasgow, had
thrown down the gauntlet, he for one
was not afraid to pick it up.
Hot After Warner.
/ hold it my duty to say that the
gubernatorial situation in the State Of
Michigan where Fred NJ. Warner and
his crowd of office holders are trying
TO foster themselves upon the people
for another term demands attention,
after what has been said here.
Fred NJ. calls himself farmer, and
they tell about his going about in a
big automobile, meeting the farmers
at the cross roads. They call it rural
campaigning Why, when | was a
boy farmer stayed at home and
worked the farm. | believe the farm
ers do today. (Applause.) Fred M. is
an agriculturist, | should say, for
believe he does own. or is supposed
to own, a farm. Now, my friends, the
difference is this. A farmer works
the farm, but an agriculturist works
the farmer. (Shouts of approval.) If
Fred M. has all the wonderful and pc
culiar qualities and personal fitness
for the office OF governor, what is the
, reason these same qualities and ht-
ness have never been exerted before?
! They charge that every man OPP
! posed to Fred M. is friend OF the in
terests and foe Of the common peo-
pie. say look into this. Do you
know OF any man supporting Fred M.
Warner who is not one Of his own
political appointees7 Did Mr.. Glas-
gov not just tell you that unless this
man Warner was renominated he and
! all his political associates would lose
their jobs. Who are thu men canvas

back into the shade Of his own cheese
factory, to there reflect and study over
the constitution of the State of Michi-
gan, and see wherein he has failed so
miserably TO be a real governor OF
the State OF Michigan.
Charges Were False.
And one thing more. That charge
of the use OF money in our past state
conventions. 1t is false. challenge
any man to hold up his hand and say
it is true | challenge any man to
say when he ever knew of a dollar
being used for such purpose at any
convention. And it is true that those
conventions nominated men who did
not represent the common people.
What Of Bingham, Blair, the great war
governor, Baldwin. Alger, Bagley,
I Rich, Pingree and Bliss. No-but on
the other hand they came from the
people; they were chosen in honest
conventions: they honestly represent
ed the people during their tenure of
, office, and their names and records
have never been so much as smirched
by a breath of suspicion.
Did Not Come to Talk Politics.
Dropping politics abruptly, Mr..
Humphrey continued: Il did not come
here to talk politics l came here to
greet you farmers and men of this
county | think il is an admirable
plan TO have such a gathering. The
relations between the St. Louis Sugar
company and yourselves are TO be de
sired between every corporation and
its employees No company can sue
coed without the active cooperation
of all those upon whom it is depend
ant upon And there is no better way
to get into close touch with its en-
ployes and those who furnish its sim
ews of life than TO meet them face to
face on an occasion of this kind.
The sugar beet industry in the
United States, and particularly in
Michigan. has come to be one of the
greatest industries in the country. And
it gives me pleasure TO congratulate
not only the company, but all of you,
on the evidences of thrift | see all
about me 7 hope that the pleasant
relations existing among you will al
WAYS continue, and that this occasion
will be repeated many times in the
coming years, bringing happiness and
prosperity to YOU all.
Senator Smiths Speech.
Senator Smith was introduced by
Chairman Darragh after a few intro
ductory remarks in which Mr. Oar

Fred NJ Warner from getting the
necessary 30 per cent at the primaries
and throw the fight into the conven-
ton. There is not a Republican
within the sound of my voice who
does not blush with shame at the
thought. And all the more so when
he recalls the famous Ferry, Bliss and
Sterns convention, when money flow
ed like water and delegates were
openly bought on the convention floor.
Fail to give Governor Warner that
necessary 40 per cent and you will
fail to nominate a candidate for gov
ernor. Fail TO nominate a governor
at the September primaries, and it
means a return TO such disgraceful
scenes as marked that convention. 1t
means the nomination OF man who
will not represent the people and the
relinquishing of all reforms that have
been started and advanced so far in
the past four years.
Attacks the Press.
The papers don't tell the truth at
all times. You know it. | know it.
Senator Smith. who publishes the
Grand Rapids Herald, knows it. But
if they did there would be no opposi-
ton ~ Governor Warner But let
them expose the mire OF the convention
and the men who have blocked and
fought against the measures for which
Governor Warner stands, and Cover
nor Warner will be renominated in
spite of all opposition.
Earle and Bradley Assailed.
In a yelled attack in which no
names we're mentioned, but a de-
scription was accurately made Hor-
ster Earle and DR.. Bradley, he said:
The candidates who come before
you declaring they are in favor OF
primary reform. the elimination of the
30 per cent clause, the taxation of tele-
phone and. telegraph companies, and
the enactment OF other Legislative
measures favoring the people, all are
eleventh hour converts. In your face
they declare for these things, but be-
hind your back they and the interests
which support them are doing all in
their power TO defeat these same
measures. and IL remains with you vot-
ers at the Republican primary whether
or not you will let them hoodwink
you Whether or not you will nom
mate a man favoring the interests or a
man favoring the people.

all private banks and corporations TO

of their officers and stockholders was
introduced and passed in the state
Legislature. Governor Warner signed

THREE BIG SPEECHES
New Feature Added To Picnic
In Having Open Air
Ne citing.
SENATOR SMITH WAS PRESENT
State Railroad Commissioner Glasgow
and Watt S. Humphrey, OF
Saginaw, in Lively Tilt
on State Politics.

Congressman Darragh acted as
chairman of ceremonies and intro
duced the speakers after a few brief
remarks in general. Commissioner
Glasgow spoke first.
Opening with a few general re-
marks in which he complimented the
St. Louis Sugar Company and the
farmers for such a splendid showing
of prosperity and industry, Commits
sioner Glasgow led directly up to the
topic OF his talk Gov. Warner and his
desire for denomination" And if he
disappointed his hosts and their
guests by going into politics, he did
not disappoint them with a common
place, every day political speech. He
worked in some pretty hot remarks
which (while taken at their true face
value by his listeners) nevertheless,
enlivened the occasion. In part he
said:
Gov. Warner would have liked to
be here today but could not come.
AS you all know, he and Lieut.. Gov.
Kelley are campaigning the state in
an automobile. They are doing what
no other candidate ever did, getting
out and meeting the farmers-the men
at the crossroads. And Gov. Warner
likes to do this for he is a farmer and
his heart lies close to the farmer
A Bid for Democratic Votes.
Again this new method OF cam
paigning is "a direct result of the
primary system which you have
adopted in this state. A system
which gives you the opportunity to
choose a man of the people to repre-
sent the people. And it does away
with the old convention system which
never, in all the time of its use,
nominated man who represented
the people. Party lines are now
obliterated. Primary reform means
you can change from one party one
year to another the next and vote Tor
the man of your choice. You can be
an independent and vote for man of
the people like Gov Warner
Anti-Warner Forces Assailed
These men, who are guberna~
torial candidates.-who are declaring
themselves for primary reform and
other needed state reforms are not
sincere Had they been they would
have assisted Gov Warner. at the last
Session Of the legislature, to get
UActtQ eOllC u tbt AtlOiii ito'bi -
before the state legislature. They
would have gone TO their state repre-
sentatives and used their influence with
them to get the passage OF such bills.
No, they are mere pretenders. Their
eleventh hour conversion is a mere
pretence. They are out to deprive
Gov. Warner of the necessary 30 per
cent. which he must have at the
primaries this fall 10 become the Re
publican nominee.
Third Term Bogie.
And why are they doing IT For
one reason they say that governor
should not serve more than two terms.
Are you going to be led around by
any such bogie ideas as that? Did

over two termsl Yes. Did you ever

BIRD NElGHB0RS

It is surprising that there are birds
which come to us only to spend the winter,
leaving us again at the beginning of spring
for Northern lands and snow-banked hill
sides, where the long day and pale twi-
light nights of the Arctic reign. Birds that
raise their broods in the far. treeless
Northland. where heather. grasses and
stunted alders grow on a shallow, soaking
soil underlaid by a great depth of eternal
ice, at the approach of winter gather into
great rowing focks to surge Southwark to
the gentler climate of our blizzardy ten
perate" wintersi Yet all young country
hocks of winter lovers, and occasionally
even in the towns and cities there arrive
unfamiliar companies of fat, fluffy birds,
bdsily opening the cones of the frs and
spruces or devouring the buds of the
naples.
Many of these much-traveled little fol-
lows are wonderfully tame. and seem not
to experience fear of man so universal
with animals that rear their young In his
neighborhood. Plne-grosbeaks and cross
bills, whose real homes are in the silent.
moss-filled spruce forests of the great
North, will almost allow themselves to be
caught in your handi With the held-rOVing
kinds, like the s~now-buntings. horned larks
and longspurs, this fearlessness Is not
found, probably from the constant look
out they are forced to keep against the
cunning and hungry white foxes and the
daring. trap-jawed little ermine that per-
sistently hunt them in their Northland
home. But the rosy little redpolls, the
creepers, kinklets, little friend chicadee,'
all the other deep-forest jewellers. are as
u~nafraid of us as they are Of the gentle
porcupines and deer of their home woods.

One night a week later Freddy came to
the dinner table feeling particularly elated,
for he had Just peeked into the kitchen,
and discovered thai they were going to
have ice cream for dinner, and that is GER
tainlY enough to make any boy happy.

very queer happened. Mary Ann left the

quite calmly, made from some of the
crusts YOU have left during the week"
And do l have to eat it?' asked Freddy.
Cant l ave any ice cream?'
Not until you've finished our pudding"
said mother firmly.

a week in that one dish"
Not quite all" said mother, smiling.
There are still a few more"
A horrible suspicion entered Freddy s
mind, but he said nothing, and manfull9
choked down the pudding, which he hated.
After he'd eaten that, somehow or other,
he didn't seem TO have much appetite for
ice cream, and could only dispose of one
small saucerful.
Freddy forgot all about his little private
dish until dinner the next night, when at

Poor Freddy was ready to cry, but re-
membered the advanced Eumbe of his
eleven years, and manfully kept back the
tears.
For seven nights did the puddings APP
pear, and Freddy had to eat every crumb
of them. He hated the word pudding, and
as for his bread crusts at breakfast and
luncheon, he ate them up so fast that his
mother was afraid he'd choke.
