UP TO LEGISLATURE
ChaS. E. Townsend Explains Point
To Electors Of State

In many quarters there has been
misrepresentation on the part OF the
people on the part OF the people over
the senatorial situation Many have
believed that because Charles Z.
Townsend won in the recent primary
he was sure of election as United
States senator. This is not the case.
Mr.. Townsend won the Republican
nomination, but in order that he be
elected the next legislature must be
Republican. If the legislature should
be Democratic John T. Winship of
Saginaw would be chosen as senator.
To make this clear to the people OF
the state Mr.. Townsend has issued a
statement in which he says:
81 have no hope of becoming sem
ator unless the next legislature is Re-
publican, and the only way my friends
can assist me now is TO vote for the
Republican candidates for state repre-
sentative and state senator in their
respective districts The great ben
eft which the voters expect and have
a right to demand out OF this state
primary law is that the members Of
the legislature will observe the choice
of the people and vote to elect the
man for senator who was indorsed by
their party at the September pri-
marics.
in many legislative districts
throughout the state Democratic can
didates for the state legislature have
expressed a determination to vote for
me if they are elected. ! am pro-
foundly sensible OF their good will
thus expressed, but it is we'll to un-
derstand that they are morally and
politically bound TO support their
party candidate if the legislature is
Democratic and have no doubt they
would support him l should certain
ly advise them to do so, for the main
tenance of the principle involved in
the primary for senator is OF infinitely
more Importance than the success of
any individual man

Mr.. Kuhn. the Republican nominee
for attorney general. received the
nomination of the Republican CON
vention under peculiarly gratifying
circumstances. Mr.. Kuhn had been
appointed a few months before the
meeting of the convention to the posi-
tion of attorney general to fill a
vacancy Here in these few months
he showed SO clearly that he was the
man fitted for the place that the Re-
publicans nominated him on the first
ballot for the chief legal officer Of
the state. He will without doubt poll
large majority in the coming elec-
ton.

FOR DRAIN COMMISSIONER.

The office of drain commissioner is
one of the most important offices at
the disposal OF the voters of the
county and the Republicans may con-
slider themselves fortunate in securing
as their nominee for that office Z. w.
Redman of Ithaca. Not that there
wasn't a large choice of candidates
There were plenty to choose from for
this candidacy, but among them Mr..
Redman loomed forth as by all odds
the proper man. He has for number
of years been employed in the office
of the drain commissioner and thus is
thoroughly acquainted with the work.
ings of that office. Besides this he
is himself very competent civil engi-
neer, being a graduate of the NJ. A c.

his daily pursuits set him forward as
a man pre-eminently qualified for this
important trust

For United States senator the Re-
publican party has palced in nomina-
ton c. E. Townsend of Jackson. Mr..
Townsend surprised the men looking
on from the outside by defeating J. c.
Burrows for the nomination. He is a
lawyer of Jackson, where he has been
engaged in professional work for
fifteen years He has held many pub
lie offices and for eight years has rep
resented the Second congressional dis
trict in the halls OF congress. His
election lies with the house of repre-
sentatives, so that a vote for the
Republican representative means a
boost for Townsend.

Chase S. Osborn, the Republican
nominee for governor, is the foremost
citizen of the 500" Mr.. Osborn is
one OF those men who have had

university of hard knocks, and have
thrived under its tutelagc. Mr.. Os-
born's ancestry is OF good Hoosier
stock. He was born near Lafayette,
Indiana. and got his college education
in that state He was always an inde-
pendent. self-reliant fellow and early
in life started ont in his own wagon.
He was a cub reporter on a Chicago
paper for a while, then went TO Mil
waukee He purchased a newspaper
of his own in Florence but in 1887
moved to the 500" which city has
been proud TO claim him ever since.
He has been prominent in the bust
ness affairs OF the 500" for many
years. and has lately received much
recognition from the people OF Michi-
gan in the way of state offices. He
was railroad commissioner and regent

most excellent business qualities. The
state will have a clean administration
under his guidance.

clerk to succeed himself is r. E.
Hughes OF St. Louis 1t is simply a
question Of waiting for the returns to
come as far as Mr. Hughes campaign
is concerned He was elected for
second term at the last election be-
cause his previous tenure of office had
showed him to be a man thoroughly
capable OF carrying on his duties
efficiently and faithfully. He has made
a great many friends by his careful
attention to business as county clerk
and will be reelected because he is
the proper man for the position. He

PRINCE OF FIRE

while those that deOnate termed high explosives
Nitrogvcern IS, Of course, high explosive, one OF
the very veles although certain temperatures and
in small quantities it capable OF burning without
detonaton When detOnated, the volume OF gases and
the heat developed such that the products OF COM
bustion occupy space ten thousand times that re-
qured by the original body OF the liquid, and this
change of bulk occurs single instant. It IS this IT.
resistble demand for vastly multiplied room that gives
to nitroglycerin its enormous explosive force.
For the sake of precision IN considering the manner
in which explosive bodies are consumed detOnatOn IS
differentiated from explosion. DetOnatiOn IS descriptive
of the action high explosives when the explosive wave
passes through the body with the extreme OF velocity
burned on its exposed surfaces as is fire in the CRATE,
only with much more rapdity, and this action tech
ncaly termed explosion The heat at the surface con
vers the body under the fame into gases; that as
fast as the solid is disspated into gas the oxygen car
ried in the material combines with the Combustble ee-
nents thus evolving still heat which maintains
the action until the body IS entirely consumed.
