Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1912-08-15

Judging by the list of candidates
the next state senate will be COM
posed mostly of strange faces. There
are but eight veterans in the list of
those who have filed petitions with
the secretary of state. Included
among that number is but one of the
Constitution protectors, Michael H.
Moriarity of Crystal Falls, who has
served five consecutive terms, and
easily gets the honor of being the
dean Of that body.
The others who will claim service
stripes if they return next January
are Virgins of the sth, Rosencrans
of the 14th, Walters of the 27th,
Scott of the goth, Moriarity of the
31st, and James of the 32nd, the lat
ter being credited with as strong
progressive proclivities as is Mort
arity, his colleague from the upper
peninsula, in his conservative ten
denotes. To this number must be
added John Conley of Lapeer, Dem
ocrat, who seeks another term in the
21st district and who served but part
of his other term, having been elect
e. to fill a vacancy.
Of the aspirants for senatorial
togas nine were members of the last
house. Among those we'll known
were Fred L. Woodwork of Huron,
Samuel Odell of Ocean, A. H. Cans
ser of Bay City, Frank L. Dusen-
bury of Port Huron and c. w. Kem-
merling of Monroe.
