AS eloquent plea for the rights of humanity as on
will hear in Michigan anywhere else, was made
last week before the Michigan Bar Association at their
nual convention by 7syear statesman who happens L
be firm Republican from Lapeer County.

lcan, and his service 10 his
country through the COP was
hardly notable. That might be
written of 10 the fact that his
hands might have been tied when
the Democrats were in power
But finally. when all loyal
Republicans sought 10 bring
about a victory for their party
after twenty years on the out
side looking in. Senator Mor"
Withdrew from his party over
some difference of opinion and
came out as an Independent IN
the last election. In support OIL
the Democrats.
So then. after the Republicans
were in, Mr.. Morse sulked and
pouted and otherwise acted Ike
a spoiled little boy. He did. how
ever, very graciously consent 70
lend his vote TO the Republicans
for the first session.
But when that was over, he
came out with words TO the effect
that there will be no hope for
this country unless the Demo-
Gratis get back in. and he further
stated that he would help to see
that they do.
Now. this type OF behavior Is
enough TO make anyone question
the stability Of the Senator. What
or who does he believe in7 ANY
party would be doubtful, as n
what contribution he could pos
sibly make TO their program
They couldn't be too sure that he
wouldn't try TO sabotage the
works.
Well. The Republicans haven't
shed any tears or lost any sleep
over the Senator's decision to
leave them high and dry. The
Democrats have yet 70 express
any iubilsiion ove< his an
nouncemeni that he wus theirs
So who wants him. just about
nobody. lie is an Independent
he says. and that's as nice
way as any TO say you're await
able. because most Independents
are exactly nowhere.
Come November. 1854, we pre-
dict there will be brand new
Senator sitting in Mr. Morses
seat, because from here II looks
like the Senator Is through.
And II he hasn't saved up any
money, maybe some Of the Inde'
pendents will chip in and buy

that Warren withheld his
