worthy OF notice. Perhaps the mos
interesting feature Of the porridge
that from all over the state politician
have been for the last week or tw,
dropping quietly into town, getting TO
gether a bit and getting out followe,
by wishers here and there of wha
they are oging TO do. The results ar,
almost startling.
Most interesting of all other things
Is the flop OF many Of the Bull Moost
members Of the last legislature back
into the Republican ranks.
Charles \ Nichols who was thu
backbone Of the Roosevelt orgdniza
ton prior to the Chicago convention
and who left the Republican ranks to
run for city clerk on the Progressive
ticket, is now out actively campaign
ing for the Republican nomination toY
! Congress i'm the First district which
! includes the west side Of the city of
! Detroit He is having whole lot OF
J opposition. hut the wise ones declare
the personal popularity Of Nichols will
more than likely land him winner in
| the primaries, Opposing him for the
| Republican nomination are William &
Manchester Robert Y. Ogg and some
others less prominent. This district will
be- very strongly Republican and the
Republican nomination is conceded by
all TO hc equivalent TO election.
Senator Edward j. curtis. the Bun
Moose senator from the Genesee-Liv-
ingstou district, was in Detroit this
week, and he is 10 be q candidate for
the Republican nomination for lieu
tenant governor.
Il don't care particularly about be-
ing lieutenant governor" said Curtis,
but ! think it is time the Progressives
and the Republicans got together and
worked TO retrieve the damage done
last fall. That being the case am
perfectly willig TO make the race if il
will tend TO bringing the factions to-
gethcr as il ought. Almost every
where / go | find the farmers particu-
larry, who were strongly Bull Moose a
year ago, are all back in the Republl- |
can ranks and anxious only to get
chance To cast votes that will kill off |
this free trade stun we have on us
/ ow. The Bull Moose party served its !
purpose Of shaking up the Republican
party and make it more responsive to
the will OF the rank and file. II has
cast off a lot Of it's barnaclcs and viii |
feel certain keep on going ahead and !
remaking the great history which has
il. Now it's time to get
MI factions together and combine
against the Democrats and I am will
ng to run for lieutenant governor on
he Republican ticket to try to assist
IN bringing that situation about"
Senator &. r Vinegar from the
hrty-iirst district the young man
who defeated Mike Moriarty "A year
lgc, is now maintaining law Offices in
Detroit although he is keeping his resi-
lence I'm Iron Mountain where he will
De a candidate for the Republican NOM
nation tor the Senate next year. Mr. l.;
Vinegar was elected year ago as
/ Progressive but when the monkey ;
ng relative To the election Of L. 5.
enatUr was on. Senator Vinegar re-
used pointedly 10 have anything To- I
10 with it and from that time was |
more Republican than "A Progressive.
Sew he will, in all likelihood, become (
he Republican nominee for the Sen !
t. from the thirty-hrst.
still another Progressive of the {
resent senate aud one of the best men !
IA tba I,Iy 10 ,lt,,Lin,, ,,,,y,
no is quite likely to run on the Re t
ublican ticket next year. This is d
enator Clarence T.. Gittius from the
'irst district of Wayne. Senator Cit =
ms was one IF the most popular clean .
nd strong members of the body. His {
'icnd who elected him as a Progress
- last Year are practically all back In l.
ne Republican ranks now and are urg- 81.
~ Citizens to make The run on the y
epublicau ticket next fall. lie has
art way said he would and those who Is
re- in the know down here say he will II
f. Republican candidate within - Il
W months
In addition 70 this, representative
recman of Wayne who was elected as
Progressive last year, has publicly
trough the newspapers announced u
mselr as a Republican from now on Y
nj will run in his district again but
lis time as Il Republican.
The Subernatorial situation is at e
acting all sorts of attention here and l,

the campaign by the amount OF
ork being done. Fr"A G. Martindalc
working overtime with his campaign 81
nd declares he will win the Republi %
IN nomination this year without q o
,ubt. His literature is going our
lily and his workers are busy.
ON the other hand. Alex ]. Groes- nj
ck has announced himself a candi II
tie For the nomination, and is doing Il p
[ of letter writing in his behalf. The ~
suit of Mr.. Grocsbeck's entrance in
the campaign is interesting. partic-
arly tc Wayne county, and the men IL
no usually deliver there are split Il
tween the two home candidates. 81

parties who are i'm position to-

city evenly between them. These II
persons say Groesbeck 81
