BURROWS AHEAD E0R THE SHORT TERM
Mcmillan May Have Hard Sled

THE A. P. A. INFLU EN- G E

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, December %
The senatorial candidates are now all In
Michigan. and for the next few days 1t
may be expected that the fur will fly while
the finishing touches are being put TO the
three dead sure and the two fairly certain
booms for the short term. s. S. Olds ana
Jay A. Hubbell have not been out of Mich
| igan at ALL and especially in the case or
Olds not shining day has been allowed
to pass unimpl owed.
Congressman Burrows was the first OF
the Washington delegation to arrive to
look after his fences, and it may have
been a coincident that he had not been IN
this city on his tour around before State
Senator julius NJ. Jamison of this city ana
Representative A. A. Weeks OF the second
(Kenu district announced themselves for
the Columbian orator as against Senator
Patton The loss Of two votes would not
be SO serious for. senator. Patton were 1t
rot that they are both Kent county votes,
and he will be unable 10 go before the Leg
I islature with a united delegation from his
own home. 1t is also unfortunate for him
that at least three of the other Kent men,
( bers will, at best, be but lukewarm in his
support. ...
Senator Patton arrived home SATURDAY,
| and will put in the next two weeks re-
pairing the weak spots in his fences.
Congressman Stephenson Is also In the
state looking up his friends, but 1t is an
nounced that there will be nothing ofen-
sive. in his candidacy; that he VIII act Inc
friend of everybody, and with the upper
peninsular vote pretty solid for him will
wait for something to turn up.
Exactly what Jay Hubbeil expects or
hopes to do does not appear; but little is
heard of his candidacy, excepting seperiH-
ties and not of them.
AS the situation now stands Burrows IS
ahead in the race for the short term SEN
atorship. Odds is a good second and rat
tom with a divided home delegation, Is in
the rear. The senatorial election is two
weeks away, however, and there may be
many changes in that time. GOV. Rich
has yet to be heard from, and ii Is prob
able that his influence will be cast for Pat
ton.
Senator Mcmillan has, thus far, kept his
fingers out of the pies and it is intimated
that when he has his, own election secured
he will throw ,his influence for Olds.
1t is even intimated that the Odds Nc MILAN
combination willc not be an entirely one
sided arrangement. but that MIR. Mcmillan
will need the assistance of well-disposed
friend who has cQntrsl of few votes
The A. Z. A havS. large representa-
ton i'll the Legislature. They claim ma
jority. and moro. than once those high In
the councils of that organization have hlnt-
ed that Mr.. Mcmillan will not have the
A. p. A. candidate for the long term SEN
atorship Is among the possibilities, Col. r.
II. Sellers of Detroit shaS announced him.
self as such a candidate. but his candidacy
is looked upon as a bluff.
If the A. p. A. put a candidate In the
| field the man will be- Congressman w. 5
Linton, and Mra~Linten. Is already in the
state and will remain until after the sena'
| torial election Mr.. sEtnton's headquarters
just now are in the saddle. but just what
| he is accomplishing or what hopes or IN
| tentfons he Is entertaining does not appear
II the Linton boom assumes formula bic
| proportions. an alliance between MCMILLAN
and Odds will be highly important to the
| former 1t may be important anyway
Odds set up the stakes for Mcmillan when
| the caucuses and conventions were held
| and 1t is possible that friendly relations
and spirit of reciprocity must exist to
insure delivery OF the goods on the part
of Mr.. Olds.
The legislature will meet January 2. and
| after the organization recess will be
| taken until the following Tuesday, when
the senatorial elections will be on the
| cards. All the senatorial candidates will
of course. be on the ground to meet the
| lawmakers, and all of them will have theii
headquarters open after Saturday night OF
| this week. ..r
