CHEYBOYGAN. Mich. April =
Rumors are a1oat that steps will be
taken TO Gust Raymond d. Taborn,
Kalamazoo Negro, who took over
the customs house office here Mon
day, under an appointment received
through the civil service commission.
The arrival of Mr.. Taborn came in
advance Of an official notice of the
change in customs house officers at
this port. Great excitement pre-
vailed and talk was rampant at each
OF the election booths in the city.
The chief objection seemed TO arise
from race prejudice and the fact that
an out-of-town man was to have an
office which heretofore has been held
by local men.
The hopes Of prominent represen-
tatives of the Wood Comstock fac
tions OF the democratic party were
also shattered. Among the demo-
Gratis who aspired TO the office Of
customs collector was Bert c. Pa
quette, former country treasurer. an
ardent advocate Of Comstock, as
opposed to John Reid, the present
collector. who was lined up with the
Wood faction. Local democrats did
not know of. or had lost track Of
the fact that deputy collectors of
customs come under civil service.
The arrival of Mr.. Taborn with Gre
dentials and letters Of introduction
from representative Kalamazoo cit
liens. including Mayor Balch and
Pres't Waldo, of the Normal college.
was somewhat disconcerting.
Mr.. Taborn ranked fifth in stand
ing in the list of candidates.
