I heartily wish him success as sena-
tor. 1t is cause OF genuine regret
to me that l am not ablo to go and

Stimson, Of New York, who will
clean house from cellar to garret,
driving every wrongdoer from. office.
The effective way to prevent a thor
ough cleanup would be not to elect
him and indeed failure to elect him
would be genuine calamity from the
standpoint Of good citizenship. Mr.
Townsends attitude on the railroad
rate legislation is sufficient proof Of
the desirability of sending him to the
senate, and this can only be done by
voting for the republican candidates
for the legislature. Michigan repub.
licans have nominated two progress
sive candidates and 1t is imperative
that they give them aggressive sup.
port at the polls. (Signed)

ufacturer, for what is the good OF one
is the good of the other You cannot
injure one without hurting the other.
The president has recon-
mended that a commission be estab-
lished to investigate and determine
the difference in the cost Of produc-
ton at home and abroad--a perma-
nent commission; commission like
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
for instance, composed of high-grade
men, qualified for the work. Under
this plan, there would be no general
revision of the tariff, but a schedule
at a time would be considered and
no general business disturbance could
occur.
"These are MY views on the lead
ing questions before the country to-
day. These questions are, in my
judgment, Of great Importance and
must be determined wisely and well.
There has been too much OF self
sacrifice, patriotism and devotion to
country for us to make serious mis-
takes in these things. We of this
generation must never forget what
our fathers went through In order that
this republic might endure. Our ex-
istence as q nation today is due to
the patriotic and sacrificial service OF
the Union army of the civil war. The
average age Of the men who consti-
tuted that army was less than nine
teen years. They devoted the best
part Of their lives to the service of
their country, and that country has
expressed it's gratitude to its defend
ers in a substantial way. It's pension
system is the most liberal of any na-
ton on earth, and yet no patriot be-
iieves il has been too liberal. Today
the remnant Of the soldiers of the
rebellion is in the declining years Of
life and practically beyond the age
wh:n through their own efforts they
can support themselves. In my judg-
ment, 1t is the duty Of the govern
ment to care for these veterans in
such a way as to place them beyond
the possibility Of embarrassment for
the necessities and ordinary comforts
of life. There is no money which the
government expends which is more
properly placed than that which goes
to pay the pensions of the soldiers.
and we can afford to be most liberal
in our pension legislation. ! shall
favor any measure which, within rea-
son, enlarges the pension benefits TO
our civil war veterans.
In conclusion i want to say that I
have endeavored to make known TO
you what my attitude Is toward the
questions which are engrossing the
attention of the public mind at the
present time. and what it will be IL /

Prosperity or Disaster? The Voter
Is the Judge.


IL there are any Michigan Republl-
cans who have II now in mind to de-
sert their party candidates and
their party principles through voting
for Democratic candidates at tho COM
ing election there are some questions
they should seriously consider before
carrying out that intention.
Would Democratic victory in 1910
increase the wages of any worker in
the country?
Would it start a single wheel in
operation which is idle now?
Would it broaden the market for
any fabric which any American mill
producesg
Would II sell an additional bushel
Of corn or wheat, bale OF cotton,
pound Of meat or anything else which
the farmer or the planter produces?
No sane person among the 90,000,000
people of the country will answer any
OF these queries in tho affirmative.
