portunity to judge of his q Publications
as an executive officer. Courage and
fearlessness have characterized his con-
duct of the office, a position of far
greater Importance in safeguarding the
interests of the taxpayers of the state
than is generally appreciated.
On assuming the office of auditor
general, DIR. Bradley was amazed to
find the books burdened with delinquent
tax lands, costing $4,000 a year to ad.
vertise. He Immediately set about to
have 10000 acres of these lands deed
ed to the state, so that they might be
sold. This plan proved to be an i'm.
mediate success, and up to the last
fiscal year S665,000 worth of state land
has been sold and sent back to the var
ious counties as taxable property from
which the state receives its share of the
taxes.
Another matter that attracted his at
tention was the fact that car companies
and other corporations paying specific
taxes were more than S4,OO0,000 in ar
rears. Soliciting the aid of the attor.
ney-general's Office and by taking up
the matter with the individual com.
panies concerned, he has already sue
ceeded in collecting more than S3,OO0,-
600, and but slight deficit will remain
at the conclusion of his term as audi
tor-general. In like manner he took
active steps to collect the inheritance
tax provided by law instead of constru-
ing it to be dead letter, and has col
lected 1855, 759 during his three years
in office.
DIR. Bradley has some very positive
views regarding the conduct of all bus
iness affairs of the safe. Above all, he
believes in equal taxation for all class
ss of property and for that reason he
is pledged to secure the taxation of
telegraph and telephone property on
the ad valorem basis. For several
years efforts have been made to bring
this about, and in the last two sessions
of the Legislature the work of the at
torney-general was defeated by reason
of the fact that the administration had
political favors to pay and thereby
permitted the bills to be defeated.
DR.. Bradley also believes in state
wide primary reform law, in order that
the will of the people may have the
fullest expression, and i'm order that
elective officers may be held directly
for their acts. If he is
and elected, DIR. Bradley
promises to put a stop to the present
system of maintaining political scout
ing departments under the guise of
state bureaus. IL is well known that |
there are several departments main |
tained at public expense, which do lit |
lie else than political work for men
who are in position to use them.

DIR. James B. Bradley is a Michigan
product, and for many years has been
closely identified with state affairs, not
the narrow political sense, but as an
energetic professional man, conscious
of his duty as a citizen and with a de.
sire, born of his medical training, to
take an interest in his neighbors and
his surroundings.
He was born on farm in Middlebury
township, Shiawassee Co., Nov. 10, 1858,
and while love for study and a desire
to become doctor somewhat changed
his pathway in life, he has never lost
his love for the soil, and today is a
practical farmer, owning 225 acres in
Eaton county. His early education
was obtained in the public schools of
Shiawassee county, where he worked
OH farm summers i'm order that he
might attend the winter sessions of
the district school.
When IA years old his father died.
The latter was but 45 years old, and
untimely death was due to diseases
contracted in the civil war, having
served in the Fourth Michigan Cavalry.
After the death of his father he
moved to Eaton Rapids, where an op.
portunity opened for him to learn the
drug business. lie took advantage Of
it, entering the employ Of Hamilton
Bros, druggists, and remained with
them for several years. by strict at
tentiOn to his duties and maintaining
strict habits of thrift, he succeeded in
saving sufficient money to enable him
to enter Rush Medical College, Chicago,
from which he graduated in 1885. Re-
turning to Eaton Rapids, he took up
the practice of his profession, which
really marks the beginning of career
that has given him state wide promi.
nence.
1t was not long before DIR. Bradley's
ability and energy attracted the atten-
tion of his fellow citizens, and they ex-
pressed their appreciation by twice
electing him mayor For years he led
the life of country doctor and became
widely known, and the determination
upon the part of the profession to take
more active interest in state matters
induced him to become a candidate for
auditor-general.
He was nominated by the Republican
state convention in 1904, and was elect
ed by an overwhelming majority. In
1906 he was reelected and is now serv-
ing his second term. AS auditor-gen-
eral DIR. Bradley has occupied a con
spicious position in enforcing reforms
in the conduct of state business, and
the people have had an excellent op-

Mr. Hitchcock I'm New York
In discussing the political situation
today Mr.. Hitchcock said the hardest
battles would have to be fought west
of the Missouri river and that he
planned to secure the benefits of po-
litical assets never before available for
the reason that state Chairinen con-
fined their efforts in the past To their
own territory. Mr., Hitchcock will try
to bring them together in the matter
of getting speakers and so far as pos

New York, July I7.--Dun's Review of

fidencc in the future that Is stimulated
by good progress in the farms More

GREAT ARMY OF MOTHS
INVADES NEW YORK

New York. July is--The host of white
winged moths that again appeared last
evening caused the death of one child.
Frank Stevens, 8 years old. The
little boy stood at one of the rear VIM
dows of his parents home on the top
floor of house last night, and jumped
up and down when he saw the little
moths huttter past the window.
Finally the child, excited by the num-
bar of the moths that flew about the
window, attracted by the light within
climbed upon the window sill and be-
fore his parents could save him, tum-
bled TO the yard beneath. He was al
most instantly killed.
The myriads of white moths that have
swept down town the last Two
days, thick enough in places TO suggest
summer snowstorm, are believed by
entomologists 10 &c the descendents OF
the great army of measuring worms
that afflicted New York in 1862 and
caused such concern that an association
of distinguished physicians was formed
TO design the destruction of the pests.
Prof. Beutenmuller, of the museum of
natural history, who has followed the
study of entomology for SO years, never
saw this particular species before ana
he is on terms of intimacy with the en-
tire bug family from the flea up 10 the
hard shell pincher.
The invasion Of 1862 lasted for six
days and one morning in the latter
part of July the streets in New York
and Brooklyn were filled with millions
OF dead moths. The measuring worms"
that laid the eggs that produced the
white winged insects, disappeared as
suddenly as they came, and have not
been seen since.
The cloud of moths that swept down
Broadway did not stop to feed in City
Hall park. Only a small part of the
foliage OF the trees was attacked. The
flight was continued to Battery park
where the insects chung to tree trunks
and branches while the eggs OF the fe-
male were deposited. These eggs will
go through period of incubation of 1856
days and the butterfly that finally ap-
pears will live for seven days.
DR.. Southwick, the city entomologist.
foresaw three days ago that the inva-
sion of the measuring worm prom
ised TO threaten the park and made
immediate preparations 10 spray the
tree trunks and branches with an insec-
ticide TO destroy the egg mass and five
gangs of men will work constantly until
the enaire park area Is covered.
