To be exact, the domestic sugars

industry continues, we shall import
less and less foreign sugars every

And if such men a Joe" Fordney

Then we will have the money paid for

Previous to Mr.. Taft's retirement
from politics." said Col. Roosevelt at
Los Angeles, whereat there was the
loud laughter" that bespeaks the va
cant mind
Mr.. TAFT may or may not be re.
tired from politics at the end of his
term. If he is retired, what unre-
elected president since John Quincy
Adams in 1928 has deserved better Of
his countrymen, has brought wider
accomplishment and experience to his
post, has kept or will have lost it
more honorablys
If William Howard Taft should be
retired from politics next November
it may be said, and as against his
old friend, that soul of honor and
truth and courtesy, it must be said
truly, that the post of honor is the
private station
When William Howard Taft is re-
tired, if he is retired from politics,
his achievements will have been no.
BILE; set down to him and double,
treble or quintuple every mistake he
has made, yet his administration has
been honest, able, progressive; and
on the modest gentleman and man
of pure aims at its head truth and
honor rest
"The stormy sophist, with his
mouth of thunder" will not be retired
from politics as long as there is any
thing in it for him; he will continue
to get show as long as brother
Howland finds him profitable and the
galleries applaud.
Well, tastes differ, and popularity
is lottery; but no shift of it's num-
bers can change the fact that Mr.
Taft has nothing to be ashamed of
and much to be proud Of

WANTED: A PROTECTIONIST
CONGRESS.

The hope of the nation is in the
election of majority in both
branches of Congress that will be as
one vote and one voice for the reten-
tion of our Protective Tariff, an alb
solute guarantee to the investments
of thousands of manufacturers, who
employ millions of men and women
who in turn make it possible for
store-keepers to continue in business
and general thrift to exist.
A political hybrid is ordinarily an
abomination to the man of sterling
and answering principles, but place
him in the forum of the nation, and
in a position to work his vacillating
will with what concerns the welfare
of the whole people, and he becomes
the veritable germ of a plague. Di-
versified and vital business interests
of America require the election of
sane Protectionists only to the two
houses of Congress.

FORDNEY'S ELECTION
is ESSENTIAL
To Interests of Sugar Beet Growers
Can Be Relied Upon to Defend
American Farmers.

The National Farmer in a recent
issue said: Congressman Joe Ford
ney's splendid service to the people
of his district were appreciated at the
primary election last week. He car
ried every county in the Eighth dis
trict by an increased majority. His
services the ensuing sessions of Con-
gress, in view of the continued as
saults upon the beet sugar industry,
will be more important to the beet
sugar industry of the country, partic-
ularly essential and important, and
the people of his district and of the
State can rely upon zoe" Fordney
being always on the spot in defense
of American industry as against the
interests of importers and refiners OF
raw foreign sugar. While the House
free sugar bill was shelved, it is not
doubted that it will bob up again a.
the next session, and the fight will be
continued.
Under the existing law the duty on
raw sugar testing 90 degrees is l.o8
cents pound. Cuba, however, is fa-
vored with 20 per cent. differential
which cuts the Tariff to l.348 cents,
and this is the real sugar Tariff, as all
but an extremely small portion of Our
Tariff paying sugars come from Cuba.
That country gets the entire benefit
of the preferential as the price to the
refiner for all raws is based on the
LOS figure. What the Washington
investigators never discovered is that
over half the sugar consumed in the
United States is either grown here or
on our island possessions, or is duty
free.
These were the figures for 1911,
when 3,9O2,S7l short tons of sugar
were needed to satisfy the nations

RACE is BETWEEN
TAFT AND WILSON,
SAYS p. H. KELLEY

Patrick H. Kelley, republican candi-
date for congressman large, who
has been campaigning the state for
the past ten days, spent Sunday at
his home in Lansing, and in discuss
ing the political situation expressed
confidence that President Taft would
carry Michigan at the November cleo
ton.
Regarding the dispatch sent out
from Muskegon last week in which it
was stated that his meeting was in
terrupted by crowd of working men
who yelled for Roosevelt, Mr.. Kelley
said the article was a fake. The big
crowd of men listened attentively
and applauded literally. There was
no demonstration for Roosevelt" ;"
said Mr.. Kelley.
The former lieutenant governor
who now seeks seat in congress
says the fight IN Michigan is between
Wilson and Taft. with a republican
majority of 10000 for Mr.. Roosevelt
to overcome it is hardly to be ex-
pected that he will carry this state"
said Kelley. "The people who are
attending the meetings are giving
careful thought and consideration to
the arguments that are being advanc-
ed. There are many men in the state
who claim they will vote for the
Roosevelt electors. but will remain in
the republican ranks and support the
regular republican state ticket do
not believe that the state ticket of the
bull moose will cut much of swath. "
