WHITE STAR LINE TO
CUT OUT SALE OF LIQUOR

The board of directors of the
White Star line, after a long discus
sion in the annual meeting, voted
unanimously to abolish the sale OF
liquor on the boats OF the fleet. The
space formerly -GiYen- to -barrooms- Will
be used TOR refreshment rooms. The
directors state that in taking the ac-
tion they are considering the wishes
OF the majority of their patrons,
especially the church societies and
Sunday schools which use the Whte
Star boats for their excursions.
In addition to the discontinuance OF
the sale of liquor Il was decided 10
put patrol OH the boats to see that
there is no disorder and that per
sons under the influence OF liquor
which they may get at the shore re-
sorts dc not make themselves objec
tionable.

SENATOR TOWNSEND SURE
TAFT WILL HAVE CLEAR
SAILING IN CONVENTION
Il Can Hardly Conceive of
Roosevelt Being Candi-
date" He Declares
FAVORS OSBORN PLAN
Senator Say He Would Vote For
Presidential Primary if
He Had Chance

President Taft will not have TO run
Tor renomination-he can just walk
and win. without any opposition
worth worrying about, according to
Senator Charles e. Townsend, who is
at the Cadillac today. He delivers
an address In Jackson, his home town,
tonight, and will speak in Adrian,
Wednesday night
The senator said he thought the
Taft sentiment was growing, and he
also expressed the opinion that he
could hardly think It possible that
Roosevelt would really come out
openly in opposition to the president.
With LaFollette shelved by sickness
and Senator Cummins sure TO be in
the also ran" class, the logical re-
suit would inevitably be a Taft vic.
tory without even a decent skirmish.
Il think Taft is stronger today than
he was a month ago." said the SEN
ator.
Questioned as 70 the effect tot the
reciprocity fight on tho presidents
MIR. Townsend suid: "That
is the most serious obstacle against
which he has TO contend" lie added
that great many farmers conscien-
|tiously believed that Taft was not
working for their interests in the
reciprocity matter, but the senator
thought that some day they would
discover their error. He estimated
that the president, by vetoing the
wool bill, had saved the farmers more
in one year than they would have lost
in ten. on reciprocity.
do you think Roosevelt will come
out openly as a candidate?" was an
other question put up to the senator.
II haven't felt that he would" was
the reply. II have known him so
well, and he is my warm personal
friend. He helped to shape the plat
form and Taft was his choice.
haven't felt that Mr.. Roosevelt could
oppose the president"
The senator went on to say that
he knew great pressure was being
brought to- bear on Roosevelt, and
expressed the opinion that IL Ithe col
onel really thought there was a real
and not manufactured demand for
his candidacy, he might accept. But
can hardly conceive IT," he conclud-
ed
Asked If he thought there was any
political significance In Roosevelts s
acceptance OF the invitation to ad-
dress the Ohio constitutional conven-
ton, Senator Townsend said he had
not heard anything about IL. and WAS
not prepared 10 express an opinion on
that subject
The senator said he was IN favor OF
the presidential primary. In this
state, but he had not seen any great
demand for IT, He thought the de-
mand was more from the politicians
than the people themselves, and yet,
he said. IL was move in the right
direction.
"If I-were member OF the state
legislature ! would vote for it, he
declared.
He said he would prefer. though,
TO have the matter brought up for
consideration in an of year, with a
view 10 fairer discussion and de-
cision, adding. Il am very firm be
lieyer in letting the people do all
they want 10 90 and all that they are

Miller Nor Opposed
To Presidential Primary

State Senator Guy A. Miller was In
terviewed by The Times, Tuesday,
relative to his stand in regard TO the
special session of the legislature, and
the presidential primary.
"Yes, | think | am in favor OF the
special session." said the senator.
THE only objection ls expense. and
don't think the expense will break
the state
Asked If he thought the presiden-
tial primary would be adopted by the
legislature, he said: Haven't any
doubt of it at all. if the bill is prop
erfy drawn.
Senator Miller said he didp,t know
i'm what form the measure would be
presented. He didn't know whether
the proposition world be to elect dele
gates in a direct manner by the pri-
mary method. or whether the dele
gates would be elected by the conven-
lion system. and the people given an
opportunity by a preferential primary
act TO indicate their choice for presi-
dental nominee. He had not given
the presidential primary subject very
much study, and was not ready 10 say
Just what kind OF a law he would
favor.
However" he said, 81 am certainly
not in any way opposed TO the idea
of presidential primary"
Senator Miller is strongly in favor
OF the congressional redistricting or
he state, and thinks that this matter
should be considered in the extra ses-
sion
The representation OF the state or
Michigan in congress Is mighty un-
equal" he said. There are some dis
tricts that have very inadequate rep
f-distriets-that
are over-represented, and as n mat
ter OF simple Justice TO the people or
Detroit and the Upper Peninsula, the.
question OF redlstricting the state
ought to be submitted to the leglsla-
.ure at this time"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.--The SO
cial fabric of the nation will be rent
in an upheaval following the present
period of unrest, but far from being
the mob revolt" predicted by Chair
man Ebert H. Gary, OF the steel trust,
the evolution will be peaceful. This
was the answer today to the steel
magnate's recent speech, by Rep. Nor
ris, the house progressive leader, In
the following signed statement writ
ten for the United Press:
BY GEORGE w. NORRIS.
Progressive Republican from Ne
braska:
The great political, social and eco
nomic reforms for which the people
are clamoring throughout the country,
V ill be accomplished without recourse
TO the bomb and the barricade.
They are being accomplished every
day by the actions OF the people,
prompted by great unrest.
While the great issues before the
country today are undoubtedly second
only in importance to the people, to
those that brought on the civil war,
they will be settled peacefully. Evo-
luton. not revolution, will be the saw.
ing OF the country. No better evidence
or this could be asked than the atti-
tude of those very representatives OF
vast aggregations Of capital who are
today predicting revolution.
They have already seen the hand
writing on the WALL They are already
convinced that the time for reform
is at hand, that the people demand 1t,
and that the people mean to have It.
They are already planning to accede
20 the peoples demands and when
hey have done that, there will be no
need for revolution.
The American people throughout
their history have accomplished great
reforms, peacefully-by the force OF
moral movements. And the wide
spread discomfort today is but another
of these movements that will accom-
plish its purpose-without boodshed.
