BRADLEY LOOKS 4
WINNER AS FIGHT
CLOSES
INDICATIONS ARE THAT HE'LL
DOWN WARMER, WHO TRIES TO
GRAB THIRD TERM-oovER.
NoR's RECORD WEAkENs HIM.

With the close in the enrolment OF
Saturday, the first general primary
election campaign in the state Will
have come practically to its end. Tues.
day next the Republicans of the state
will choose among three men who
geek the office OF governor.
Fred NJ. Warner, the present COVER
nor. Is running for a third term and
has had to combat a very strong and
widespread antagonistic sentiment due
to this as we'll as to the weak points
In his record and to his connection
and money dealings with Frank p.
Glazier. former state treasurer.
James b. Bradley, auditor-general.
has record OF conscientious effort in
his present position and his experience
has given him ideas for economy in
state administration and a consequent
reduction In taxation. He says he's
confident OF winning, and this seems
to be the general opinion.
The third candidate Is Horatio 8.
Earle, state highway commissioner.
Earle Is in favor of good roads and
has plank In his platform In which
he advocates putting convicts at work
crushing stone for such roads.
All three candidates are In favor OF
a statewide primary election law.
taxation OF telephone and telegraph
companies and prevention Of stock
watering by corporations.
The election will be decided by the
agricultural vote as the people of the
farming districts and small towns have
enrolled generally while the enroll
ment is not as great In the cities.
Only those who have enrolled as mem
bers OF the Republican party can vote
for governor In this primary.
The Democracy has only one candi-
date for governor, Lawton T. Hemans,
and no candidate for lieutenant-goyer-
nor.
Patrick II. Kelley, of Detroit. Is the
only Republican candidate for lieu
tenant-governor. II is said that he will
be candidate for governor two years
hence In case Warner is nominated
and elected. Kelley has been tourinS
the state with Warner and speaking
for him.
Both Warner and Bradley have COW
cred practically ever county In the
state on speechmaking trips. Earle
has spent but a few weeks in his cam
paign and has covered much lesa
ground.
| 1t Is expected that about $4,000
votes will be cast In the primary cleo.
ton next week.

The Detroit times., 1908-08-29

This Is enrolment day for the state
primary for the nomination Of candi
dates for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor.
While the early enrolment in most
Of the precincts was not heavy, it was
much more than that OF two years
ago. when the state primary Law had
been given very little publicity. and
there was slight interest in the nom
nations.
In most of the booths there were
voters waiting as soon as the polls
opened at o'clock. The enroilAeni
was heaviest in the lower precincts
but 1t is expected TINT this will be-
partially equalzed In the evening, a.
business men, clerks and mechanics
will have an opportunity to enroll VI
to $3.50
Hardly any Democratic enrollments
were noted outside of three wards or
the east side. Lawton T. Hemans Il
the only Democratic candidate fol
governor and this fact is supposed to
account for the lack OF interest.
Friends OF Warner. Earle and Brad
ley were out early in the morning re

Arthur Hill gives out the following
regarding a statement which Gov.

who was personal friend OF Gen.

the Issue of veracity was not between
Glazier and Warner, but between War

published, and where Warmers name
on the back is both proof and confess
sion that he got the five thousand dol

never repaid Glazier the thousands OF
dollars he received from him, which
shows that Glacier told the truth.
That draft Is stone wall that
Warner has mo-. been able to get over
