S. 6. Olds Of Lansing. fsmiliarly
known % Michigan politicians ~ Sky
Odds. drifted into The Morton yesterday
from the capital city. Mr.. Odds wore
the latest thing in Fedora hats, and had
the appearance OF being on very good
terms with himself and the remainder
Of the universe. There wasn't spcck Of
dust on his patent leather shocs. and
lis trousers bore evidence of having
recently been creased. In fact, Mr.
Odds was looking remarkably well. Il
don't know q single thing in the line OF
politics" he remarked. 40 he settled
down in q chair and decorated radiator
with one Of his immaculate paten,
feathers. There has been a rumoI
floating about Lansing that General
Alger would attempt to wrest the
United States senatorehip from Senator
Mcmillan at the coming election. but
am inclined to believe the story
lacks the element Of truth. II il
possible that there may have
been some disagreements between
General Alger and Senator Mcmillan
but do not think Alger wants to bs
United States senator. and neither do
think he will be q candidate. Ii is q
little early TO begin the discussion OF
the senatorial election. / am still with
Senator Stockbridge. and our present
relations may continue indefinitely
The senator il now in Kalamazoo. blu,
has spent most of the time in Chicago
since Che senate adjourned"
