Old Guard Senator Burrows Defeats Harrows in Michigan Primary
One of the era's longtime figures, Juline Cae sar Harrows, loses renomination to the U S Senate, as Michigan voters shift away from the old guard. The defeated incumbent entered Congress in 1873 and has long been allied with Aldrich and Allison. Burrows, born in Erie County Pennsylvania in 184? and based in Kalamazoo, rose from Civil War service to a career in law and politics, serving as a noted parliamentarian and presiding officer. He chaired the Illinois public committee earlier and was key as a Speaker at Chicago’s Republican National Convention, aiding Taft’s 1909 White House victory. His defeat marks a national political moment with Burrows now opposing tariff shifts affecting beets.
