cial During the last campaign there
was no more effective and convincing
speaker on the Michigan platform
than the candidate for congressman
at-large on the Democratic ticket I'D
ward Frensdorf His presentation OF
the tarifr question was TO the point
particularly with reference TO the wool
tariff.
Mr.. Frensdorf is conceded to be
one OF the foremost wool merchants
in Michigan, and is student OF trade
conditions. Everyone who knew Mr.
Frensdorf had confidence In his Judg'
ment and his mastery manner or stat
ing the argument caused much FAVOR

IL was not until he met and conquered
that old veteran campaigner, Congress
man Fordney, that Mr.. Frensdorf
power and ability was realized.
In the course OF his speeches be
mentioned the fact that be owned
one-tenth or more OF all the wool
grown In Michigan, and that he would
give a bond to own that much or
more when the Democratic tariff bill
went into effect. This meant that Mr..
lFrSnsdorf would hold in his ware
houses, at Hudson, from 10000 10

eager bidders for wool today. Mr..
Frensdorf says he never saw the time
when the demand for wool was more

Mr. Frensdorf says that the very
fact that large sales are being con-
summated in all the big wool mar
kets, and actual advances have been
made in prices since the now tariff

ton to the wool producer and con-
sumer would be as marked In effect
as in our dairy products.
Mr.. FrensdoTf says the business
situation looks healthy, and that the
country Is going ahead on substan-
tial basis rather than on inflated and
fictitious prices. No one need fear ad-

ministration other than the manipula-
tors who want to continue their voca-
