selman would be some formidable can
didate IL he takes notion TO really
go into action. He made real run
two years ago. He has the reputation
Df being an able business man. Is
clean and has been a prominent pro
moter OF Sunday. school work. He
might not get very enthusiastic sup
port from the Michigan Brewers as
ISOLATION, but he would get lot OF
backing from the goodly number who
want lofty public morals.
But how about Pat Kelly? There
has been talk that Mr.. Kelly might
possibly again be candidate this
year, but this would not be politically
reasonable until Gov. Osborn was
eliminated from the race. II has been
suggested. too, that 1t would be
little strange for Pat" TO go a-soaring
for the gubernatorial bird away up
on an extremely altiudinous treetop
when he has the Michigan-congress-
man-at.large canary practically In his
fist. II is not apparent that he would
have any opposition for the extra
congressional job put on the market
by the recent congressional reappor-
tionment
Ex-Congressman DENLY of Detroit
has, too, been mentioned as possible
timber out of which to make gov
ernor but he has announced he ID not
in the race.
Some people have been trying to
shove State Treasurer Arthur Sleeper
Of Bax Axe into the free-for-all event
but IL seems to be just about settled
that he is not 20 be in the race.
Railroad Commissioner Glasgow,
chairman of the commission, an APP
pointee OF Gov Warner and an anti
Osbornite. Is another in the also
mentioned category.
The Democrats really ought to nave
candidate for governor and TINS
means more trouble for the people
who have TO think about and solve
the problems OF state. Hemans won't
and Ferris won't and Wood won't, so
II is said, and the office is still seek
ing.
But. what's the matter with Jim
Hummel-ex-M Mayor James Hummel,
OF Lansing. TO take on little more
dignity-the recently nominated Dem
ocratic candidate for treasurer OF the
capitol city? He's been talked OF and
as he Is said TO be good fellow ana
an excellent mixer, he might make
pretty strong candidate. lie is cigar
manufacturer and travelling man
anG. is said TO be inclined to be OF the
progressive variety.
Ex.Mayor John ID. Bailey Of Battle
Greek, Is considered another Demo
cratic possibility as candidate Tor
governor and is said to be long In
the scrapping line When he was
mayor of the corn-nake city, accord
ing TO a report, he kept things on the
pop i'm official circles. had aldermen
arrested on charges OF graft and put
across conviction of one of the Of
tenders.
And then there is Congressman
Sweet, OF Grand Rapids. ex-mayor.
who is in the possibility catalogue.
and with him might be mentioned OK
Judge Yaple. OF Kalamazoo. Both are
progressives.
Judge Yaple has been prominent
and we'll thought OF In Michigan dur
I ing chain OF years and was once
known as the>s"boy orator" Incident
ally he is the father OF Representa-
tive Edward l.. Yaple. Republican
member of the house from Kalamazoo.
who has formed habit OF voting no
on progressive propositions. But then
don't blame the "old man" for that
Presumably the Judge tried to teach
| him better things. And still, there
were recently remarks in the house
In the nature of declaring young Yaple
good clean and decent fellow never
, theless and Notwithstanding. Anyway,

be a bad stunt Just keep him In mind
so that If he is really needed he can
be trotted out for the coming little
, event
The governorship is not the only
office TO be filled and the candidates
for governor are not the only can
didatorial oysters in the political
stew
There's the Office, OF secretary OF
state.
Representative George Lord. OF De-
troit. wants the job He has been
deputy secretary of state and secre-
tary of the state tax commission. He
/ has been opposed to an April pres

Major Arthur Loomis is another
man who wants TO get into Martin

was secretary TO Governor Warner.

! Still another candidate for the sec
rotary OF state nomination on the Re.
publican ticket is Senator Colin
I Vaughan, of ST. Johns. editor. lumbcr
man and banker. He Is said to have
money and perhaps or possibly he
made enough money as lumberman
and banker SO that he could AFFORD

OF Congressman Fordney. of Saginaw
and Is also a friend OF Governor Os-
