part And he made it plain that
much Of the opposition to him at
this time came directly from the in
terests which were disturbed through
such desirable legislation. He called
attention to the bills which he had
supported which had not been put on
the statute books and he stated that
he had worked sincerely for the bill
providing for taxation of telegraph
and telephone companies, and had
only failed because of inability to Sc
cure the necessary two-thirds ma
jority made necessary for its immed
late passage and for the taking of the
bill from the hands OF acommittee.
The enactment of such a law at the
next session OF the legislature, the
Improvement of the state primary law,
the passage of law which will pre-
vent the issue of watered stock, a
provision requiring publicity for the
purposes of lobbyists and legislative
solicitors, and other enactments which
he has favored, the governor specif-
ically pledged himself to do his best
The governor referred TO the state
ment that he hadrecommended loans
of state money to different banks and
explained that he had simply for
warded requests that had come TO
him TO the state treasurer with the
suggestion that if he deemed it advis-
able he comply with the requests.
This had always been the procedure
as he understood it, and it was 'wor-
thy of note that every one of the
banks whose requests he had forward
ed TO the treasurer had paid to the
moment it was called for. The state
state every penny of state money the
will lose not a dollar through the Gla-
zier failure as $3.50, 600 has already
been paid back and the remainder is
amply secured. =
One interesting feature of Governor
Warmers address was the statement
he made concerning State Treasurer
Glaciers failure. There was no act
of his connectedwith Mr. Glazier as
an individual or as state treasurer, he
declared, which he was not willing to
publicly and fully make known. Up
to the time that rumors of Mr. Gla-
zier's financial embarrassment reach
ed him, he had believed that Mr. Gla-
zier's affairs were infthe best possible
condition. This belief existed in Nj.
Glaciers home village and was shar-
ed by careful and conservative bank
ers who were loning him money in
very large amounts. AS soon as an
investigation revealed the actual sit
uation, the governor promptly demand
ed GLACIERS resignation; there was
nothing In their relation that caused

Gratiot county taxpayers without re
gard to their party relations can lis
ten to the discussion of business
affairs in Michigan this year without
being greatly disturbed. They would
indeed. be very hard to please If they
were not more than satisfied. Gratiot
countys total payment into the state
treasury for state taxes this year will
be $3S,691.41 and when the November
apportionment of primary school mon
ely shall have been paid, Gratiot coun-
~ will have received from the state
treasury SCI ,246.60, an excess of money
received by Gratiot county taxpayers
from the state treasury more than
they paid to the state treasury OF ov-

There would be very few votes cast
in Michigan in favor of democratic
purposes if the relation of the coming
election to some of the important in
dustries of our state were fully recog-
nized Millions OF dollars are invest
ed in the enterprises which would be
practically ruined if the threat OF the
democratic national platform should
become operative. Especially is this
true of the beet sugar industry. The
change in the tariff on sugar for
which the democratic party stands
would not cheaper the cost of sugar
to the Michigan consumers, but it
would increase the profits of the SUI
gar trust and il would necessarily re-
duce the value of sugar-beets and the
value of every Michigan farm now be-
ing utilized i'm thatindustry. There is
not a man who owns an acre OF ground
in Michigan, nor the owner of house
and lot whose immediate interests do
not directly appeal to him to vote and
work for the republican party and
the republican candidates at the COM
ing election.

Gov. Warner declared that the at
tacks being made upon him with ref
erence TO the Glazier failure we're
either due to lack Of information
concerning the matter, or from de-
sire TO purposely misrepresent his at
titude and his action. The governor
closed one of the most effective
speeches he had ever made by referrin
to the charges made against him four
years ago that corporation influences
would control him and to the fact
that such charges had been effectually

One important duty to be accom-
plished on Tuesday, Nov. 3D., In
Michigan, is the adoption of the re-
vised constitution. Any one of a doz-
en- subjects treated in the constitution
as revised will be of sufficient value
to the state when adopted to justify
the entire costof its preparation. The
home rule provisions of thenew docu-
ment,. the abolition of the great mass
of special legislation privided through
st, the larger power and more direct
responsibility which it gives to MEM
bers of the Legislature are all steps
in right directions, and very desirabl,
steps. Without regard to party or
faction or section the revision of the
constitution should be given the cord
ial and hearty support of the voters OF
Michigan at the coming election.
