HOGS CREMATEO IN BIG FIRE
Continued from Page l.

twenty-five fatting hogs, two stock
hogs and three sows with litters of pigs
making total of SO head, met death iu
the flames, while almost an equal mum.
Der escaped from the building. The
doors to the hog house were open and
the animals could easily have escaped
but they appeared to crowd into the
further corners Of the building and
await their doom. When the flames
were discovered they had gained such
heacway that the hogs could not be
driven out, and the next morning their
burned carcasses were scattered through
the debris.
The building was new one, 30x60
feet, and was equipped with a cement
cooking room, cement floors, etc. How
the fire originated is mystery. A fire
had been kindled in the stove in the
cooking room the day before, but it is
not thought to have originated there.
The loss is estimated at approximate
ly $1,000, with partial insurance in the

There is probably no man in
the Michigan legislature better
qualified for this responsible
position than Judge Heckert.
He is a man of mature years, a
brilliant lawyer, splendid
Judge Of men, and an accom-
plished parliamentarian. He
served with distinction in the
constitutional convention, and
has served his county one term
in the legislature. His legal
ability and sound judgment on
all of the important questions at
issue, gained for him an enviable
reputation during the last session
of the legislature. He is a man
who thinks and acts for himself
and is fearless in the discharge
OF his duties.

Hon. Ii. #. Heckert for Speaker.

1t is possible that Van Buren,
county may have the honor of
furnishing the next speaker of
the house of representatives in
the next legislature. Hon. Colin
Campbell of Kent county was the
last speaker, and had he been
reelected would undoubtedly
have succeeded himself in that
responsible position. His defeat
however, places another aspect
on the situation.
The candidates, who are as
piring to the position of speaker
are Herbert F. Baker of Cheboy-
gan county, d. G. F. Warner of
Benzie county and w. II. Yeo of
Ogemaw county. The real fight
as far as these three candidates
are concerned, would be between
Baker and Warner. 1t seems
however that considerable
number of the members of the
house would not be satisfied with
either of the above mentioned
gentlemen as speaker, and they
have been looking over the field
with a view of finding just the
right man for the place. Judge
B. F. Heckert of Paw Paw is
the man they have selected.
The following letter from the
representative from jackson
county, published in a recent
issue of the Detroit News, shows
how some of the members feel
in regard to Mr.. Heckert.
"To the Editor: As a reader of your
most valued paper, | have noticed diff
ferent articles concerning the candidacy
of various distinguished members of the
legislature for the important Office of
-)eaker Of the house for the next en-
= Jung term.

have received letters from these various
gentlemen requesting my support So
far / have been non-com initial for the
reason that ] desired to learn of all the
candidates whose name might be pre-
sented for this honorable position. or
all the names so far mentioned | have
no criticisms to make, on the contrary,
/ am we'll satisfied that any Of the gen.
tlemen whose names have been mention
ed would make an able presiding officer
and feel cure, would deal fairly with
each and every member OF the house,
and further, that any one Of them would
be interested in securing the best legls-
lation possible for the whole people of
the state OF Michigan.
However, having served one term ia
the legislature with Judge b. +. Heckert
OF Paw Paw, and we'll knowing Of his
services to the union in the late re-
bellion, of his sterling character, of his
ability as lawyer, and above all his
fairness TO all he comes in contact With,
/ have been in hopes that his name
might be mentioned with the others for
this most honorable position.
No one who knows him in my opinion,
would dispute his fairness, his ability,
his qualifications 10 every respects

irving at practically unanimous choice,

the brewers and the distillers are expect
ed to be as active this year as in 1908.
Could Mr.. Bryan, consistently with his
deliverances as to Nebraska, go into Ohio
and Indiana and ask for votes for candi-
dates in alliance with tic saloon inter-
ests? He might well go and make APP
peals in behalf of democratic candidates
for Congress. The brewers and the dis
tillers are not concerning themselves as
yet about national legislation, but are
very greatly concerned about state legis-
lation here and there, and particularly
about legislation in the two states where
at the latest trial of conclusions with the
drys they won.
But II Mr.. Bryan should visit the two
states named. and. while pointing out the
value of a democratic House of Repre-

Mr.. Bryan and Temperance.

Feeling against Mr.. Bryan is reported
from Nebraska on account of his attitude
toward the brewers and the -distillers.
He is opposed to their alliance with the
democratic party, and will use his infiu-
ence TO put an end to it. AS result, he
is accused of being a prohibitionist. and
it is even suggested that he may try
to commit the democracy at the next ma
tional convention to a temperance policy.
Upon his return from his travels Mr.
Bryan will probably answer his critics
at length. The subject will keep In
fact il is growing subject. Not so much
is heard about IL now as short time
since. but temperance is still a live issue
throughout the south and in many of
the states elsewhere. Prohibition has
not made the states which have adopted
il as dry as a powder horn, but the or
ganizations which secured the legislation
are still intact. and ready for any addi-
tional action their opponents may make
necessary.
What will Mr.. Bryan do about the cam
paigns in Ohio and Indiana? In both OF
those states triumphant alliance exists
between the democracy and the brewers
and the distillers. Two years ago the
vets carried Harmon and Marshall into
ONCE, and sent Mr.. Shively to the Sen
ate. The plan now is that the vets shall

Politics" at Albany.
From the New York Times.

Inc New 1OTk
1t is impossible that the disgraceful
facts that have already come out at
Albany and those that are sure to come
out under any reasonable investigation
shall not have an acute interest for
the managers of both political parties.
The majority party is most and most
intimately and Immediately affected. be-
cause the one man now on trial is
their chosen leader in the senate, and
his accuser is a member of their organ
ization, while apart from the charges
heretofore submitted there is the state
ment of a considerable fund turned over
to the chairman of its state committee
by men who wished to influence legisla-
ton. These disclosures. all made with
extreme reluctance by senator. place
the majority party in a painful and per-
ilous situation. On the other hand, 1t is
but natural that the opposition party
should look forward to the advantage
that they are likely to gain before the
people by the general discredit attaching
to the organization of its rivals. But
there is one truth to be borne in mind by
all those who choose to regard this mat
ter from a narrow partisan point of
view. Neither party Is likely to profit
by selfish and partisan action. On one
side the republicans cannot afford to
try to screen any man or men in their
ranks, and on the other the democrats
must treat the whole investigation with
the utmost fairness and in entire good
faith.
