Detroit, Oct. 27.-A special to the
News from Lansing says; "Alfred hus-
sell, as attorney for VIM. j. shisids.
chairman OF the junta's city commit
tee, ia Detroit, has applied TO the su-
preme court for q mandsmus IN the
matter of the municipal electoral conf
mission. composed OF City Clerk hron-
berg, j. Chris Jacob. j. L. Lowry, and
the printing Of the Official ballots for
the coming charter election. A review
of the situation IN Detroit from the
lunta's standpoint Is gwen in the ap-
plication and the assertion made that
1t is impossible to secure from the cleo
toral commission any information as
to what their intention is relative to the
ballots. The commission, 1t 10 CON-
planned, won't say what they will do
or what they won't do. The
existence OF much corruption In De-
trolt elections during the past four or
i've years is alleged and the formation
OF citizens movements to preserve the
purity of the ballot and the appoint
ment of committee of 100 u punish
offenders Is cited. Fears are expressed
that further attempts in the line OF corr
ruptIon will be made tins year.
|. alleged. as Mr.. Shields belief, that
the electoral commissi N are preparing
to ignore the Miner ticket entirely and
to place the Thompson ticket on the
official ballot As the regular democratic
ticket. The injunction asked for is TO
compel the commission to out the
Miner ticket on the ballot as he only
real, genuine, clear quill, regular DEM
ocratc ticket, and to declare all other
spurious and base limitations as to DEM
Ocrauc regularity.
Lawyers here have started srumor
that Aid. Jacob will get out ofDetrOit
to preve nt the writ being served on him.
The court will hear the arguments IN
the case Thursday morning at lOo'cio
whether service has been obtained or
not. The impression among lawyers is
that the commission will be ordered to
place all tickets on the ballots without
referende to their supposed regularity
or irreghlarity.

Rem Rarker,s Potnto.

Ren Barker, editor and proprietor of
the Reed City Clarion, is q champion of
the Michigan potato. The TELEGRAM
HERALD, in somewhat fiippsnt para

sen stories about big potatoes which ap-

A huge bundle was brought into the

accompanying it was letter from Mr..
Barker calling attention To the para
graph and also 10 the bundle. which
contained an enormous potato. If the
crop about reed City IL like this sample,
and the sender vouches for that fact,
the bushel should no longer be the unit
of measurement, but they should be
sold by the cord instead. The TIL. is
convinced and will doubt no more.
Even if Mr.. Barker went broke on the
postage his money has been we'll in
