The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-09-29


we want one" said W. G. Malcolm.
son. the Detroit member OF the reso-
buttons committee during the noon
recess.
There are six Warner men. two not
listed and four anti-Waruer fighters
on the committee. OF which Congress
man Rarragh will be chosen TO read
the report.
Gov. Warner has declared himself
as against Endorsement resolutions but
this does not necessarily settle the
matter. His friends are very anxious
for such a resolution to be adopted
and the governor can not absolutely
prevent II too strong movement Is
started that way. II is policy for him
TO oppose II, however. The members
of the resolution committee are: "
| G.. Malconson, Detroit: Frank s. Neal,
Worthwhile; Alfred Miles. Branch; II.
p Stewart, Centerville: Roy s. Barn
hart, Grand Rapids; T. d. Seeley. Pom
tiac: W. T. Hosner. Macomb- county
WI ffunsaker. Saginaw; o. n. Gran
or. Mason; Dan McMullen, A B. Oar
raah- R C. Flanagan, the latter of
| Dickinson county.
| Navin seeks Revenge.
yindication Of Tom Navin is the big
issue with the Wayne county dele
gates.
While the conferences which were
going on in the Hotel Pontchartrain
Monday night settled all the selec-
tons for the ticket, apparently, except
two. the tender feelings OF Navin
must be soothed in settling one OF the
remaining scraps.
/ II is related that while in Detroit
some time ago, Calvin A. Palmer. OK
Manistee. met some friends In Giles
cafe and dropped few remarks TO
the effect that he very strongly dis
approved OF Navin. He put II even
stronger than that. In fact. and the
words came to Navin's ears.
That master OF manipulation has not
forgotten and his lieutenants were
busy, Monday night fixing things up
for revenge. While the Wayne dele
cation is tied with hawsers To Fred G
Martindale for secretary OF state.
Navin Is one OF the men who framed
I'D the delegation and he Is said TO
have made the matter personal
issue.
Won't Vote for Palmer.
A consequence, the Wayne mem.
hers were canvassed and told that they
must not by any chance vote for Pal
mer. A deal was fixed up whereby tbs
majority of the votes OF this county
are TO go TO Oramel b. Fuller. OF Delta
county, for auditor-general, on the first
ballot. Then they will be swung TO
Capt. Nate Simpson, OF Hartford.
when the time comes and the latter
nominated over Palmer. who admitted
/ ly has the most votes to start with. II
Is claimed that 100 Wayne men stand
with Navin. About a score have re-
fused to engage In any spite fight
| There was an attempt made TO
frame up a slate, with Judge Flavius
l. Brooke. OF Detroit, for supreme
court Justice: Fred c. Martindafe. for
secretary OF state; A. r. Sleeper. OF
Bad Axe, for state treasurer. and
| Huntley Russell, Of Kent county, for
| land commissioner. John K. Bird for
attorney-general appears to have no
formidable opposition. while Luther
Wright. of Ironwood. for superinten-
dent of public instruction, and w. J..
McKone, for member OF the state edu-
A
cation board, have no. contenders.
II was agreed that the upper PENN
sula IL entitled to one member OF
the state board OF equalization and
that. for this reason, Wayne men
should vote for Fuller.
Palmer's friends are making des-
perate fight and some Of those in
Wayne county are very sore that
things should be framed up as they
are. They figure that with no opposi-
ton to Brooke. and only the few
votes OF w. l.. Stannard opposed to
Martindale, there is no need for such
a trade.
I'VE are going to make combIna-
ton that makes sure OF the nomina-
ton OF our men," said the Martindale
workers.
The men who are here hustling for
the other candidates for state treas
urer and land commissioner are dis
POSED TO join the friends OF "Puss"
Palmer In trying TO break the slate.
Supporters OF -Puss.@Paimer, blame
Gov Warner for much OF the fight that
is being made against the Manistce
postmaster for suditor-general.
