THAT PRIMARY VOTE
Burrows dnd Townsend Issue State.
mentS Defining their Positions
MUST HAVE PLURALITY OR QUIT


In letters addressed to Arthur p. Van.
denbere, chairman of the board of
governors of the newly organized
Michigan Republican Primary Defense
League, Senator Julius g.. Burrows and
Congressman Charles E, Townsend,
the two contenders for the Republican
senatorial nomination, have gone on
record in language beyond all misunder.
standing that they want the next Mich
igan legislature to stand by the result of
the Republican senatorial primary as
shown by the statewide total after the
Republican votes are counted September
next. Each also makes the statement
that snless he receives plurality of the
Republican votes cast at such primary he
will no longer be candidate for the
nomination.
The letter from Senator Burrows is as
| follows:
"My Dear Sir: Answering yours that
| am in full sympathy with the spirit and
purpose of the Michigan Republican Pri-
mary Defense league as touching the
Interpretation Of the senatorial primary
law, and the purpose of the league to see
that the same is properly enforced. My
statement on that subject of date Jan. II
last could not, it seems to me, be open
to misinterpretation of doubt. I then
said
"No man aspiring to the office of SEN
ator should hesitate for one moment to
submit his candidacy to the entire elect
orate of the state, and no man of any
spirit would, if it were possible, accept
an election in opposition to the public
will. The primary election law of Mich
igan, as it relates TO the choice of a
senator by the legislature, is not merely
advisory but, mandatory and imposes up
on the members of the legislature the
duty Of executing the public will"
Il want no misunderstanding of my
attitude i'll the matter. have submitted
my bandidacy to the qualified Repub-
lican electors and whatever the verdict
of such electors may be on the 9th of
September next, l shall abide by that
verdict. If nay candidacy is not approv-
ed by a majority of such electors Of the
whole state, as revealed by the count of
the entire vote in the state, l shall not
hereafter be candidate for the senate
before the legislature.
The statement from Congressman
Townsend is as follows
II notice with pleasure and approval
the movement promulgated and urged
by you for the establishment of a pri-
mary defense league. The Michigan
primary law, in reference to the nom-
ination of the United States senator. is a
statute and it should be tried and follow
ed without evasion. No man should be
elected TO the Michigan legislature who
is unwilling to abide by the choice of a
plurality of the votes of his party to be
cast in the entire state at the September
primary, and vote for the man so nom-
mated by the people.
Personally shall respect the choice
Oh TIC peoPie anu "a my opPohop' ioOoiNos

Sept. he shall, so far as am concern
ed, receive every Republican vote of the
legislature in July. 1 shall not remain

after Sept. unless l shall receive a
plurality of the Republican votes cast in
the whole state at the primaries.

REFoREsrINe THE STATE
Many Thousands Of Trees to Be
Planted This Year

The state forester has Just issued
circular of the Experiment Station
giving the prices Of forest seedlings
for sale by the state Nursery and
containing instructions for planting,
The three principal varieties which
the nursery has for sale are two year
old white pines at 1925 per thousand
three year old Norway spruce at SS.50
and one year old black locust at $500.
All of the three year old pines which
we're left after last years sales were
ordered some time ago for the com
ing spring In fact the popularity OF
the forest planting idea is growing
so rapidly that orders have been COM
ing into the Forester's office all win
ter and 100000 trees are already spo
ken for, for a number considerably
|. exceeding last years entire ship
ments.
On account OF the scare last year
over the German pine rust disease
no more pines will be imported from
Europe The orders thus far receiv-
cd have come from about forty differ
ent parties in nearly as many differ
! ent localities. The southeastern part
| Of the state bids fair to remain in
the lead in this work as Mr. Aiken
now has large supply of home rails
ed seedlings to plant on the Billings
estate these, Of course, are not in
cluded in the above iigure) and Mes
srs. W0olson and Brown. who own a
large tract in Sprinield are to plant
10000 trees this year as a modest
starter Several men in Brattleboro
who planted last year are continuing
the work more extensively this year.
Mr. Hemenway OF EIartland, Mr.
Sawin and Mr. Waite of Windsor
have each ordered ten thousand or
more trees.
Other parts of the state are also to
be well represented. On the Montpel-
Ter and Wells River line for example,
besides the planting on the Plainfeld
state forest 10000 trees have been
ordered by club Of gentlemen in
Wells River; Kicker Bros. of Kicker
Mills have ordered 10000; Messrs
Laird and Rowland are to plant 90
GOO on their land in Marshheld and
Messrs Rogers and Pemp Of Barre
have ordered the same number.
In the northwestern part of the
state Dr. Stevens will probably be
the most extensive planter, having
ordered q 900 trees TO plant on his
property in Enosburg, which he is
managing under a plan prepared by
the State Forest service. Mr. d. T
Hanley will also plant 10000 pines
in the vicinity of Milton
The international Paper company
will continue their planting in Yer
mont as well as other states, ant
have ordered a large supply Of spruce
from Germany
