ly the obligation OF governor to
his people. and although many are
declaring to me that l owe it to the
state TO continue in the governorship

feel no such sense Of personal neces-
sity l now that there is plenty of
other good gubernatorial material in

city of men in Michigan that there
are not many who would do honor
to the executive office.
"Such being my personal inclina-

ment at this hour regarding the kind

, garding second term | am too
keenly appreciative, however, of the
splendid loyalty of my friends who
are pressing me to enter the field, and
of the good people of this state
many OF whom have been good enough
to say they would like to have me
continue for second term-not to
substantially acknowledge my debt

TO them: | shall not be a candidate

to retain Michigan in the Republican

misconstrued Every word Of it is
sincere. ! love Michigan and her
people I pray for her progressive
development along political as we'll

lines. I want her governor to be the
best man for the place always; and no
personal ambitions of any man are

Farmers National Bank
Abilene. Kansas
TWO MORE STOCKHOLDERS
IN STATE BANK SUED.
Double Liability Asked from Misses
Alice and Mary Edwards.

Suits were filed in district court
today by the receiver of the Abilene
State band to collect double liability
as stockholders from Miss Alice Ed
wards, owner Of four shares Of stock
and Miss Mary Edwards owner Of
three shares. The original value of
all the stock in the bank was wiped
out by Flack's defalcation. These
suits are to collect a sum equal to
the original par value of the shares,
500 each. Hurd & Hurd are at
torneys for the plaintiff.
In the case brought against Mrs,
M. A. Prendergast a few days ago..
the stock she is alleged to own was
sold, 1t is claimed, to I. S. Hallam
five years before the bank failed.
Flack evidently handled the business
for the stock certificates cannot be
found and only the stub in the stock
register indicates ownership. Flack
seems to have made no record of
any of these transfers.
