FRIENDS GREET SENATOR
Many Call on Senator Burrows at De-
troit Last Week.

Senator julius Caesar Burrows
stopped in Detroit for several days
on his way to Washington and the
popularity OF the senior senator was
well evidenced during his stay in De-
troit by the number OF callers he had
His parlor was continually thronged
with visitors, business and profess
sional men making it point to call
on him, as well as the gentlemen who
dabble more or less in politics.
Senator Burrows is in excellent
health, and he chatted and joked with
his callers like a boy. He expressed
himself as very much pleased with
the trip OF President Taft to the west,
and declared that 1t partook of the
nature Of triumphal tour.
THE trip has been a great success
in every way said Senator Burrows.
II have been following it very closely
and 1t approached the proportions Of
triumphal march.
1T has enabled Mr.. Taft to get
close to the people OF the country;
to impress his magnificent personality
on them and to win new friends in
every section Of the west
THE trip has done much to cement
the Republican party and to personal
ly strengthen the president with the
country. His speeches have been
very characteristic OF the man. He
is without guile and his talks have
been universally open and frank
II consider the most important part
Of the trip his journey through the
