SENATORIAL TALK
Congressman smith to Announce
Candidacy and Inaugurate
Campaign,

From Washington comes the news that
close friends of Congressman William AL
den Smith say that he will without doubt
declare himself a candidate to succeed
Senator Alger within short time and
will inaugurate vigorous campaign.
The condition of General Ayers health
IS even worse than it was before the hol
day recess and his close friends say that
it would be folly for him to seek another
term. He will be formally asked to de-
clare himself in few days. 1t is said
that members of his family have Indicated
what his answer will be.
Mr.. Smith will return to Michigan in
the latter part of next month to speak at
a banquet in Lapeer He will also return
to preside over the Lincoln club banquet
here on February 2, and it is probable
that he will declare his candidacy then
After this is done it is said that he will
name a campaign committee of his friends
about the state, having at least one mem
Der from each congressional district, and
if Gerrit J. Diekema does not retain the
state charmanship he will take the chair
manship of Mr. Smiths committee. This
committee will then actively assist Mr..
Smith in a whirlwind campaign in which
Mr.. Smith will make speeches in every
district.-Grand Rapids Press.
A later dispatch from Washington is to
the effect that Russell A. Alger has fully
decided to run for another term. The
dispatch says:
WASHINGTON, Jan. Slate this after
noon Senator Russell A. Alger finally
made up his mind for once and all on the
question Of running for another term as
United States senator. HIS health has
much improved during the past few
months, so that he feels about as we'll and
active as he ever did. Consequently he
made decision that he will run.
This decision, if true, will undoubtedly
change Mr.. Smiths plans as he has al
ready stated that if Ager desired another
term he would be found in line for him.
