The Detroit News has always been an
sdvocate of free trade as against the
Republican principle of protection.
Therefore it is naturally antagonistic
sodEen who are protectionists, and op-
poses them and protected industries
with much energy. That is the reason
Why it has always sneered at the beet
sugar industry and sought to obstruct
its growth in Michigan. 1t is rather
strange therefore, to find it commend
ing, though rather begrudgingly, Con-
gresham Fordney, who has been for
years the unsleeping champion in con-
gress of the sugar beet. Commenting
apon gossip from Washington that
lhere are Michigan people who would
ske Mr.. Fordney to becomes candidate
,or United States senator the News
says that although it does not and new
or can agree with Mr.. Fordney's tariff
convictions, it nevertheless recognizes
his strength of purpose, independence
of Judgment, directness of mental pro-
cesses and all around forensic ability.

wetectionists are to control the next
senatorial representative from the state,
me News thinks it is we'll to have a
man of whose ability and character the
yssss need not be ashamed. Michigan
would never be ashamed Of Fordney as
= brilliant debater and consistent fighter
sos what he believes to be right. If
Michigan is to have a high protection
mt. let her have the best that can be
eeund. Continuing, the News says;
Mr. Fordney has cast his lot with
Speaker Cannon, and he sticks with a
determination that even the frankest
regulars cannot exhibit. IL he were
against Cannon he would show the
aroe grit, and the same inability to
lack water When he is for a man
or measure he is for 1t clean through
