The Man Who Should Be Senator.
At the approaching primary election,
Michigan is to select party candidates
for United States senatorship. The
voters OF the state In going about this
business ought to give their first con.
sideration and their last consideration
to the question of fitness. They should
ask who among those that aspire Is
most likely to become a constructive
factor In the upper house through de-
velopment Of the qualities of states
manship?
Considering the matter from this
viewpoint of efficiency and service, il
seems to The Free Press that the most
promising OF all the candidates in the
field, indeed the only promising candi.
date In the field, Is Truman Fl. New
berry, aspirant for the Republican
nomination and at present serving his
country in the navy of the United
States with the rank of commander.
Mr.. Newberry has the temperament
and the experience which make the
foundations of good senatorial service.
He has varied and sound knowledge
Of practical business. He possesses
clear conceptions of the big economic
issues and problems of the country.
He has intelligent ideas on the theory
of American government. He recog.
nizes and respects the place of party
and party alignment and party tradi.
ton in our political system.
Mr.. Newberry also knows something
about Washington, and the demands
and qualifications of official life there,
for he spent some years of public serv.
Ice in the national capital, first as
assistant secretary of the navy and la
ter as secretary of the navy. This ex-
perience alone would make him valu-
able in the upper house of congress at
the present moment. Mr.. Newberry
will not be a spectacular senator II
he Is selected by the people of Michi-
gan to represent them. He will lack
visionary fads. He never has fitted
out peace ship. On the contrary his
was one OF the organizers of the Michi-
gan State Naval brigade, he served
In the United States feet throughout
the Spanish,American war, as he and
his two sons are serving In the pres
ent war, and he has been a persistent
believer in national preparedness. He
Is an orthodox, thorough-going Ameri-
can.
Nor will Mr.. Newberry be a special
LIST in fantastic figures of speech and
extravagant rhetoric. Michigan need
never expect to hear that he has been
responsible for any wierd oratorical
display.
But Mr.. Newberry will, II given the
opportunity, make a cheerful, conscien-
lious, business-like, efficient and, we
believe, able senator who will COM
mand the respect and confidence Of
bis colleagues and have influence with
hem. He will represent his state hon
prably and creditably, and he will give
his country valuable service.-Detroit
