VERDIER SAVES DAY
FOR STATE SENATORS
His Measure Provides Michigan
with Senatorial Election
Law.

LANSING, Mich, April 12.-Sen.
Leonard Verdier OF Grand Rapids,
chairman OF the senate judiciary
committee made the startling discov-
cry today that there is no law on the
statute books OF Michigan for the
election OF United States senator.
When William Alden Smith was re-
elected in 1912 his nomination at the
primary was ratified by the republican
majority in the legislature Since tEat
time the federal constitution has been
changed so that United States senators
are no longer chosen by the legisla-
tive body but are elected in the same
manner as governors and members of
congress.
However, the last legislature failed
TO provide any machinery for the
election of a United States senator in
Michigan under the new order Of
things, and the oversight would prob
ably not have been discovered, had
not Sen. Verdier looked up the law
in order to draft a substitute for the
bill introduced by Sen. Covert, to p1 o.
vide for filling vacancies in the office
Of United State senator.
As Michigan will elect a United
States senator next year, ii would have
been necessary for the governor to
have called q special legislature to
enact special machinery for the legis-
lation had it not ben for Sen. Nerdier's
discovery Verdier has drafted a bill
making United States senators elected
in the same manner as the governor
and this bill will be introduced Mon
day night

impossible TO rescue them.
Many burrows were plowed in the

king Benjamin Of the House Of
David. which has been much in the
limelight during the past few months,
is now in the midst Of another con-
troversy. At the recent wet and dry
election i'm this county the members
OF the 1fOuse Of David colony adVo-
1ated the liquor interests. In a letter
Just issue By King Ben he defends the
stand taken by the colony on the tenn
perance question by declaring that
this is a free country and furthermore
that the House Of David stands for
temperance but not for prohibition.
King Ben is now standing between
two fires. The vets assert that the
liquor interest would have won the
election if the House Of David had not
stood out openly for the saloon. while
the drys are OF the opinion that their
victory would have been for more ex-
tensive If the colonists had not inter-
fered
In his letter King Ben also offers
the entire holdings Of the House Of
David for safe. declaring that Benton
HarbOr has not appreciated the value
OF the institution to the city. In
closing the letter he says
vote the House of David out of the
county. and. therefore. we wish TO say
that we can perhaps give a tip as TO
the best way in which TO accomplish
this move. As prohibition is claimed

property will increase in value, con-
sequently this is the time to specu-
