With the Kent county representative
delegation pledged to his support,
William Aldrich Tsteum's chances for
the speakershIp are greatly frightened.
From the very first his candidacy has
been received with marked expressions
of favor. Colonel Bishop of Luding-
ton having withdrawn from the field,
il leaves Mr.. Tateum the only candi-
date for the place in northern west
Michigan. 1t peculiarly appropriate
that ne should be given the united
support OF the members for this vast
region. Ii elected he will be the only
representative Of this -populous indus
trial center, occupying q position that
will attract the attention of the state at
large. Unfortunate complications de-
MED to this city the representation on
the state ticket To which IL IS entitled.
The opportunity is now here to retrieve
our Ill luck at Saginaw. 1t is the
bounden duty of the republicans in
this city to enlist in Mr.. Tateum's be-
half and TO secure for him the speaker
ship of the next house. His friendly
opponents will come from the Upper
Peninsula, already doubly honored,
and the eastern part OF the state which
also Jared well on the state ticket. Let
the representatives from northern and
western Michigan consolidate on Mr..
Tateum and carry off the honor. He
is abundantly qualified to discharge
the duties of the high office.
