4 strong sentiment prevails among
the business interests in Detroit
against Secretary of State Fred c.
Martindale becoming a candidate for
governor. and it is likely that this
sentiment will be made known 10 him
in a positive way in a very short time.
Detroit business interests want rep
regentation on the state board of
equalization when the state is equal
lied in 1911. This board consists OF
the lieutenant governor. the secretary
OF state. the auditor-governor, the state
treasurer and the state land commits
siouer II is felt that Mr.. Martlndaie
is sure Of denomination and reelection
as secretary of state. His success as
candidate for governor would be in
doubt and even should he win. 1t u
