As this was the first speech made by
Senator Kittredge since the March
primaries, he embraced the opportunity
to announce his candidacy for United
States senator and declared his inten-
ton to abide by the result of the June
primaries He said he believed in the
observance of all laws-land laws as
well as the primary law. Referring to
the double liability bill on which Gov
ernor dwelt 80 strongly the week pre-
vious, he stated that in the territorial
legislature Of 1889, Mr.. Crawford not
only voted against similar measure,
but moved its indefinite postponement
In the first state legislature, the speaker
was senator from Minnehaha county
and voted for the same measure, and in
these two assertions he is supported by
the record.
The entire speech of Senator Kilt.
redge was delivered in a dignified and
convincing manner, not scintilla of
abuse leaving his lips, and not one W 10

certify. 1t was good hard facts. which
were made real and vital by the intense
earnestness with which they were pre-
sented. There was no playing to the
galleries, very little gesturing aud no
capering, but every statement was made
in straightforward and direct manner
which appealed to his audiences. The
contrast in these respects with Gov
ernor Crawford was striking and In the
minds of all greatly to the advantage of
Senator Kittredge. He made friends
by his attitude aud statements, for no
one who heard him could conscienti-
ously challenge anything he said for he

1t is said that the popular vote in
the counties where primaries were
held is very close between the two
factions. This being SO, it appears
that Kittredge has much the best
showing, as many of the counties

gents conceded and no primaries

far in the lead. Thus we find from
the showing made to date that Mr..

originally charged Senator Kit,
redge with breaking away from his
party on the question of seating the
Norman, Reed Smoot, in the United
States senate, now assert that the
Smoot question is not an issue in

That Senator Kittredge is working
in close touch with President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft is shown by
a dispatch from Washington which
brings the news that on the senator's
arrival in Washington he found
awaiting him an invitation to the
white house to talk over matters.
After having number of confer
ences with President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft, Senator Kittredge
disappeared from Washington, and
is supposed to have made a conf
dental trip to New England in the
interest of Secretary Taft, at the
request of President Roosevelt.
Returning to Washington Senator
Kittredge took breakfast with Secre-
tary Taft and was closeted with him
during the greater part of the morn
ing. The conclusion from this is
that Senator Kittredge is working in
complete harmony with the presi-
dent and secretary, and that should
Judge Taft be nominated, as now
appears certain, the big senator
from South Dakota will be in as
close touch as any senator. This
is one thing which the voters of this
state ought tC consider in the selec-
ton of senator. Nobody knows
better than Secretary Taft that Coe
/. Crawford was in favor of LaFol-
lette and against him as long as he
dared to be. Mr.. Crawford's news
papers spoke of Secretary Taft as
1'the imitation candidate" and freely
predicted that he could not be
elected if nominated. One of them
ran complimentary notice of Sec.
rotary Taft as a paid advertise
ment." AS senator, Mr.. Crawford
would be very weak sister at the
white house should Taft be the next
president. Mr.. Kittredge would be
a power. Is this worth the considera-
ton of the voters of this state?

Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1908-08-15

Eight new bishops were elected by
the delegates TO the recent general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church in Baltimore, and plans were
discussed for making the Methodist
bishops more Ike the bishops of other
churches. The Methodist bishops pre-
side over meetings OF annual confer
ences. ordain ministers and appoint
them to their fields of labor, but they
have no dioceses, and are itinerant.
The sentiment in favor OF establishing
dioceses for the bishops is growing,
but action on the change was post
poned. The Protestant Episcopal
bishops-there are more than a hun
dred of them in the United States
are elected in convention of lay and
clerical delegates of the diocese in
which they serve. Each bishop is the
head OF the diocese. and has general
control over the church within the ter
ritory, ins,alls rectors and confirms all
new communicates. The Roman Cath
Ollie bishops, who are appointed by the
pope, usually from a list of eligible
priests submitted by the diocese, hold
all the church property in their name,
and have general oversight of all the
ecclesiastical institutions. They have
much more power than the bishops of
any other church in America, although
IN the early days the Methodist bish-
ops had things pretty much their own
way.

prosperity to having cut his pies into
five pieces instead of four, thereby in
creasing his profits on his pies 20 per
