WILLIAM JUDSON TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS OF GEN. ALGER

He will be Elected U.S. Senator Easily--Alger is Known in Every Nook and Corner.

"Billy Judson can not get it through his head how Alger can be beaten for United States senator. "Why," he says, "they're all for him in every nook and corner of this state. He is a popular man and he has got a large heart. Why I know him as well as I do you or Pete Lehman. I used to sell him oxen and did a great deal of business with him. He's none of your aristocrats."

"I suppose you are going to Alger's welcoming reception?" was asked.

"You bet you. Why, everybody is going to turn in to welcome him. It don't make any difference what party they belong to. I tell you we got up a mighty big reception for Alger a few years ago at Chelsea when he run for president. Do you remember, Pete? Well I tell you Alger had left Chicago when we telegraphed him and he had the fast train stopped at Chelsea and gave us a nice little speech."

It is expected that Louis Judson Lesimer will also attend the home-coming welcome of Alger at Detroit.
