.STEARNS FOR GOVERNOR
Michigan Democrats About to Nomi-
nate a Former Republican.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug. g.
When the Democratic state convention
was called to order today indications
were that Justus S. Stearns of Luding-
ton, twice a prominent candidate for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor of this state would be placed at
the head of the Democratic state ticket
on a platform declaring primary re-
didates to be the most important is
sue in the coming state campaign and
pledging the party to this end.
Previous to the convention Mr..
Stearns declared he would not only
accept the nomination by the Demo-
Gratis but would also support the Dem
ocratic national ticket. This had the
effect of removing much of the oppo-
sition to his nomination among dele
gates who opposed nominating can
didate who was not a Democrat.
Judge John Minor of Detroit, was
temporary chairman of the convention.
