Mr.. Kerr. addressing his Marquette
audience Tuesday evening, won APP
prevail from those who heard him, ir-
respective OF whether or not they
supported him, by sticking TO his
text, says the Mining Journal He did
not digress from his main business
of telling the voters where he stood
to attack Mr. Young or in any way
to belittle him, but devoted his time
to making clear his position on ques-
tions Of interest in connection with
the congressional contest. Mr.. Kerr's
manner Of campaign is creditable, in
deed. and one that can be commended
TO all candidates seeking the SURFACES
Of the people II was enlightening 20
note the immediate rise that Mr..
Kerr got from his auditors when he
emphatically declared his position in
regard to Speaker Cannon, who in his
latest Danville utterance has de-
clared his belief that he can obtain
a reelection 10 the speakership OF the
next congress. Uncle Joe is badly be-
low par in these parts. He may have
all the civic and political virtues he
claims for himself, and more too, but
the average voter regards him with
suspicion and the candidate who fat
" announces that he will not support
him for reelection, and will in no
manner contribute to a continuance
Of his regime, makes n point that
scores heavily with the voters.

Just now there is an interesting
illustration Of the faculty Of the
British to undertake something new
and daring as well as formidable in
naval construction. on Aug there
was launched the new British bat
tleship-cruiser Lion. Reports say
it is the most powerful warship afoat,
and there does not seem TO be much
doubt that this is so. It is zoo feet
long. Of 10000 tons burden. with a
speed OF thirty knots, and is armed
with eight 13.5-inch guns. The new
American battleship Delaware, now
in Boston harbor, and which has n
2O,OOO-ton displacement. looks small
and ineffective by comparison. IT is
true the Delaware has ten 12-inch
guns against eight big guns on the
Lion, but the British guns are of larg-
er caliber, and, what is more i'm
portant, the American warship Is
outclassed as TO speed. She made
twenty-five knots on her trial trip.
Even the new 26,OOO-ton battle
ships. the Arkansas and Wyoming,
which are under construction by this
country. though carrying twelve ~
inch guns, will only have 2O.5O knots
speed against 30 knots for the Brit
Ish seafghter. In no navy outside

saying the employees i'm his depart
ment are not helping Kelley's election,
and that the $1,000 excess i'm his de-
partment last month is due to the
fact that some extra ice cream in

the very idea Of accusing state en-
ployes Of spending $1,000 of the tax
payers money to help maintain their
jobs. It's horribly absurd. The boys
spent that money travelling around
the state eating free ice cream. This
is a brand new department this ice
cream eating stunt, created by Gov
ernor Warner not TO get more en-
ployes on the state pay roll to help
elect Kelley but merely to keep the
dear people from getting poisoned

change landed it at point in Ohio
