He Is His Own Candidate.

Whether the candidates desire it or
not there seems to be disposition on
the part of the politicians to make the
contest for attorney general running
mate for the gubernatorial scrimmage.
While neither candidate for attorney
general has authorized any such state
ment, it is being declared that Frank
H. Watson, of Owosso, is the Stearns
candidate. 1t is possible that both
candidates would prefer to run on their
own merits rather than be made the tail
of anybodys kite. If they would, it is
time they let it be known, for sentiment
is icrystalizing along the lines indicated.

BLISS STRONGER THAN EVER.
Sentiment Against Second Term
Finds Little Encouragement Among
Either Farmers or Business Men.

Ii there ever was time when there
was q reasonable excuse for making a
fight against the denomination of a
governor of Michigan for second term
that time is not this year And more
than that any candidate who imagines
that he is going to discover lying around
loose lot of public sentiment demand
. ing nominee other than Governor Bliss
for the campaign of 1902 is going to be
disappointed. The working men have
no complaint against the governor.
The business men have none The
Grand Army men, who belong to all
classes, are as much for him as ever.
The farmers throughout the entire
state, so the intimations keep coming
in, are satisfied with the course which
Governor Bliss has pursued and are
more than ever inclined to give him
second term. No other candidate seems
as yet to have touched upon any secret
spring starting a perceptible public
current in his favor although two other
candidates are being given respectful
hearing at this time. The fact seems
to be that the hard headed farmers of
the state are about making up their
minds that this year they will be called
on to pass judgment on an administra-
ton which has been marked by nothing
more clearly than quiet, mind-your
own business sort of plodding right
ahead and attending to the duties which
have arisen without making any fan
tastic furbelows about the matter. The
governor has given the people of the
state what he said he would-a bust
ness-like administration without any
business paralyzing grandstand plays.
He has kept his residence at Lansing
where he has been in constant touch
with the affairs of state when they
needed his attention. He has in every
way been alive to the interests of the
entire state and in every way he has
been an active, careful, chief executive.
whose record will bear the closest in
spection. The truth of this is being
recognized more and more and the
reason for considering the matter of
refusing to give Governor Aaron T.
Bliss second term is becoming thinner
and is finding fewer who believe in it
every day. If there were anything to
be said detrimental to the course of the
administration, there might be some
reason for asking the party to go back
on it's established record and nominate
new man but there is nothing of the
kind suggested anywhere. The party
has no motive for making change at
this time and THE TIMES does not
believe that the voters wish it or will
allow it merely to crafty the desires of
another man who also aspires to be the
governor of Michigan.

, UNANIMOUS REORGANIZATION.
The Endorsement of Which Congress
man Fordney Has Already Been
Made Certain by the Early With
drawal of Watts 8. Humphrey.

drawai Of Watts S. Humphrey.
The denomination of Congressman
Joseph Warren Fordney to succeed him
self from this congressional district,
practically speaking, has already been
made. The republicans of the district
have now to look forward to the con-
gressional convention merely as gath
ering ut which the splendid course of
Mr.. Fordney will be ratified by every
delegate present in behalf Of the re-
publican constituency which he repre-
sents The last obstacle in the way of
such course was removed Saturday
when Hon. Watts S. Humphrey an
nounced his determination to withdraw
from the contest for the nomination
into which he had entered few weeks
ago
Mr. Humphrey is one of the ablest
lawyers and most determined fighters
in Saginaw, and one of the shrewdest
political observers in the state, and his
withdrawal was made only after he
had become convinced that the popular
demand for the denomination of Con-
gresham Fordney was so great that
the interests of party harmony would
not allow him to make a longer canvass.
1t is only fair to Mr.. Humphrey and his
supporters, however, to say that not
only was the demand for the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Fordney far more general
and more strenuous than they had ever
dreamed of, but that friendly words and
demands for his return to congress came
from quarters which even occasioned
surprise to Mr.. Fordney and his friends,
who already knew that the demand was
both general and genuine.
The result is as it should be. The
eighth district has never had repre-
sentative who accomplished anywhere
nearly as much for it as has Mr.. Ford
ney, nor indeed, one to whose course on
all the most important public questions
it has been possible to point with more
pride. His rugged honesty and sturdy
American manhood, coupled with his
genial humor, has made him power
in congressional circles, while his con-
slant work in behalf of the various
counties of his district, and in behalf of
the old soldiers and the farmers in par
ticular, has given the people anew idea
of what an able congressman can do If
he has their interests at heart.
The eighth district has Jared badly in
times past by defeats and consequent
changes in her congressman, but it is
now apparent that better times are in
store and the demand is becoming
stronger for following out the plan of
other districts and states which have
attained to a powerful position and in
huence at Washington by retaining the
services of an honest, able man, when
once they have found him, as long as
they can induce him to serve them.
The voters of this district have fol- nd
such man in Congressman Joseph
w. Fordney and appearances which are
growing stronger every day indicate
that they intend to keep him at Wash
ington as long as they can induce him
to stay

The Detroit Journal says; Watts S.
Humphrey, ii is announced, has decided
not to contest for the republican nomi-
nation for congressman in the Eighth
district. This leaves a clear field for
the denomination and reelection of Con-
gresham Fordney, who has made a
good record III the lower house. His
experience in the two terms he has
served will be of value to his con-
stituents; for everything else being
equal, the man who has served the
longest time in congress is the most
effective. The Michigan delegation has
made an enviable record during this
session. Its fight for beet sugar, in face
of the opposition of the speaker, and,
indeed, of the entire administration,
showed that Michigans representatives
were men of courage and high character.
The effectiveness of this contest was
largely due to the fact that the majority
of the states congressman are men of
experience in Legislative ways. There
are tricks to be learned in statecraft as
well as in golf The members having
learned these tricks, it is the part of
wisdom for the congressional districts
to keep them in the place where they
can do the districts and the state the
most good.
