ceiyed and listened to with marked in
terest, it was the good fortune of Sena.
tor julius G. Burrows to out-do each OF
the other candidates 80 far as attend
ance and enthusiasm is concerned. A
conservative estimate is that he spoke
to at least four times as many people as
did his opponent at the same places and
but for the fact that he was delayed in
reaching several of the towns promptly
on time the number would have been
still greater. Due to the fact that the
train was twenty minutes late in reach
ing Bennington, and the heavy roads
caused by the downpour of rain the
night before, it was impossible to get
about on schedule time, yet each of the
ten towns, Bennington, Laingsburg,
Perry, Morrice, Bancroft, Byron, Du-
rand, Vernon, Corunna and Owosso
were made by the party-.the machines
recording something like eighty five
miles travel.
Senator Burrows arrived at Benning-
ton from Saginaw, where he spoke the
evening before to 1900 people in the
auditorium, accompanied by Mrs. Bur-
rows, Roy G. Lyle of Grand Rapids,
and Mr. Cremer representing the Detroit
Journal. Here he was joined by Col.
Oscar A. James, U. s. Pension Agent at
Detroit, Hon. Frank H. Watson, U. s..
District Attorney, L. G. Hall, Rudolph
Colby and E. o. Dewey of Owosso, A.
E. Richards, J. Y. Martin and G. d.
McNamee of Corunna--the latter repre-
senting the Press American. 1t was
Mrs. Burrows first experience in auto
mobile campaigning and she expressed
herself at the close of the trip as having
thoroughly enjoyed every moment of
the day.
After shaking hands with those who
had assembled at Bennington, Senator
Burrows was introduced by Mr.. Watson
and made short address. AS soon as
he finished, Messrs. Watson and Col.
James, accompanied by Frank Shier,
bugler for Co, Fl, started for Laingsburg
in L. G. Halls auto. Arriving there,
Mr. Shier called the crowd together with
the bugle call and the gentlemen spoke
until Senator Burrows arrived. Mr..
Watson referred to the Importance of
recalling the fact that primary day was
but two weeks away, that it was the
duty and privilege of every enrolled
votor on that day to go to the polls and
express by his ballot his choice for U.
s. Senator, Governor, Congressman,
legislative and county officers and re-
ferred briefly to the long and honorable
service Mr.. Burrows has given his state
and nation. Col. James, always a popu-
lar and magnetic speaker, won fre.
quent applause in his twenty minute
talk as he dwelt upon the achievements
of the Republican party, the part Sena-
tor Burrows had had in its history since
the days of the civil war, the brilliant
war record of the Senator who was
captain of one of the companies In the
18th Michigan infantry, and urged that
he be returned to the Senate to round
out his career with the high honor of
chairman of the finance committee, q
position which was within his grasp
and one of the highest honors which is
bestowed upon any member of that
great body. The defeat of Senator Bur.
rows would mean the loss of the posi-
tion to Michigan. As chairman of that
committee he declared the Senator could
do more than ever for the interests of
Michigan and the entire country. He
also took occasion to ridicule the idea
that Senator Burrows was too old and
feeble to longer continue as represent
ative of the people, stating that but
few young men could do the campaign
