Judge A. ". McAlvay, of Manistee,

has announced his candidacy for one of
the republican nominations for justice

points to lively contest for the three
places, with at least dozen aspirants.
Tho Fairbanks Boom.
There is boom growing in favor of
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, as the
Republican candidate for vice president.
There are two things in which this
would be good choice. Roosevelt is a
citizen of New York. Fairbanks of
Indiana. The one is from the east, the
other from the west. The geographical
conditions are correct. True, the ques-
ton of the state he halls from really
should have no place in the selection of
a vice presidential candidate, further
than to observe the constitutional pro-
vision that the president and vice presi-
dent shall not be from the same state;
but the practice has grown up of going
east for the second place if the candi-
date for first place is from the west, and
vice versa, to avoid largely imaginary
sectional feeling.
The second point is that Fairbanks is
of Presidential stature. Too often in
both parties, the man for second place
has been chosen simply for geographical
considerations, without any question as
to his full ability to fill the position of
chief executive in case death or other
contingency should elevate him to that
place. Fairbanks is fitted to be presi-
dent. True, he is by no means the only
available man possessing that qualifica-
ton; but if a boom is growing in favor
of any man, it is gratifying to know
that he is a fit man, in any contingency
which may arise. Toledo Blade.

the last year amounted to $50, 900, 900
