 ''I am especially pleased to occu- py the same platform with your dis tinguished Senator from Connecti- cut, George P. Mclean. It is one of my earliest recollections in politics that he was running for governor of your state. He needs no commenda- tion from anyone at this time. If there is any requirement. for testi- mony in his behalf, it can be more than amply furnished, know, by his fellow citizens here in his own state, and yet, because I am in service with him at Washington, perhaps have an opportunity to observe him a little more closely day by day than you do, I venture to add my testimony to that which is almost overwhelming at the present time in his behalf"
 ''I have noticed that he enjoys hard work, and that service in behalf of his constituents here and for the purpose of promoting the welfare of his country, seems to give him a sat isfaction and joy beyond anything else. That is the kind of a senator you have sent from Connecticut to represent you in Washington. You know of his experience in public office, a seasoned legislator, and those are not made in day at Wash ington. I concede that sometimes there ought to be change, but when you have there a man of the charac- ter and the ability of Senator Me Lean, you cannot replace him and receive the same kind of service, ex- cept as a result of years of expert ence. And the people of Connecticut are not going to believe that reputa- tion that they have for Yankee shrewdness all over this nation, by undertaking to make in their own behalf any such kind of a trade as that. I think that we can dismiss that subject"

10 the better roads and automobiles,
general disregard OF the fish laws. and
with too limited force OF deputy war
dens TO cover the field, has resulted In
the streams being nearly depleted OF
fish. With the sportsmen's clubs now
being organized, these associated with
the upper peninsula organization re-
Gently formed in this city. and with the
sentiment that will be created for law
observance, we hope for greater inn
provement in the fishing. and good
fishing Is great pleasure 10 our own
people as well as TO those who visit
us. and the latter will multiply many
times in a short period II the fishing is
known TO be good and II II will be so
maintained.
I'VE have many waters that ought
to be stocked with game fish that
thrive in this climate, thus adding TO
the number of places to which anglers
could go and relieving the great drain
on the comparatively few streams
and lakes where they can now go and
where catches can be made With

stitute a fund for the support OF the
