achievements of "A great newspaper ar

journalism, was accorded Mr.. May, in
the language of the official announce

in recognition of his high merit
and attainment as "A newspaper artist

has achieved an international reputa-

The honor bestowed upon Mr.. May

Mr. Mays great reputation as car

service of the Detroit Journal, for
which paper he has drawn "A daily car
toon since March IA. 1892. Previous
to that time he had served on another
Detroit paper. but i'm those days the
daily cartoon had not come into vogue
Mr.. May began working in newspa-
per office as far back as 1872 spending
his vacations i'm the composing room
where he was "A printers devil. He
had been drawing pictures ever since
he could remember. but his first regu-

what Mr. May has attained as an
artist he owes to his natural ability
and very largely to his own efforts, foi
he received little training. He went
to the public schools of Detroit and
then took few drawing lessons from
the late L. r. Ives, father of Percy
Ives. who conducted an art school
where the Detroit club now stands.

and administrative officer at the uni
versity In 1872 he returned to Ann
Arbor as instructor in history and adj
vanced to the rank of assistant pro-
fessor.
He had long cherished a desire to
enter the profession of law, and ac-
cordingly he resigned his position and
entered into a partnership with his
father-in-law, Thomas Croker, under
the firm name OF Croker and Hutch
ins, of Mount Clemens and Detroit.
For eight years this relation was un-
broken.
In 1884 DR. Hutchins was elected
to the University OF Michigan, as Jay
Professor of Law. So great was his
success here, that i'm 1887 when the
trustees of Cornell university were
seeking a man to organize a law de-
partment for that institution, their
choice fell upon DR. Hutchins. He ac-
ccpted the appointment and at the end
of eight years the department had
grown To be one of the leading law
schools Of the country. In 1895 he was
recalled To the University of Michigan
as dean of the Michigan law college,
the largest institution of it's class in
the United states.
In 1S97-9S, during the absence of
President James r. Angel i'm Turkey,
Or. Hutchins discharged the duties of
acting president of the University of
Michigan to the entire satisfaction of
both faculty and regents, so much so
that when il became the duty of the
regents TO again appoint an acting
president there was no hesitation in
their asking DIR. Hutchins to take up
the duties Of that Office For a year
DIR. Hutchins has retained the dean
ship of the law department and at
the same time performed the duties OF

Under the caption, Fuller is on the

following: There seems to be gen.
eral impression all over the state that
Auditor General Fuller may be re-
elected this fall without opposition,
even from democratic source. Such
n thing is quite natural. At the same
time Mr.. Fuller's case deserves UNI
usual attention. II is practically GER
tain that he will be named by the Re-
publican party without a contest. His
record for competency in office is the
highest recommendation that can be
given him. 1t is common talk about
that the auditor generals de-
partment has never been in such
high state of general efficiency as II
is at the present time and il has never
been managed as economically. Mr..
Fuller is good business man and he
has carried his business training into
the work for the state, with the re-
suit that he has looked after the busl-
ness of his commonwealth with the
same care and attention and desire
for results at low cost that any good
business man would employ in his
own business affairs. 1t is a good
thing for the state of Michigan to
have an auditor general as capable as
Mr.. Fuller and il Is a better thing TO
realize that the people of the state
know that fact so well that they are
unanimous i'm desiring to
retain him in the office"

sum far i'm excess of the three hundred
