LAND0N DECISION
SEEN CHALLENGE
Hoover Not Expected TO Re-
ply as Leaders Count Both
Out of Picture.
By the Associated Press.

Republican leaders today counted
both All M. Landon and Herbert
Hoover out of the 1910 presidential
picture.
Although in many quarters former
Gov. Landon's emphatic elimination
Of himself was regarded as a chal-
lenge to Mr. Hoover to do the same,
most Republican spokesmen did not
expect the former President to re-
spond.
They were inclined to accept as final
his recent statement that Il do not
want any public ONCE" Senator Nc
Nary of Oregon, minority leader OF
the Senate, was among the members
OF Congress who took this view of the
situation.
Since Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Landon
have taken themselves out OF the
race" Senator McNary said, I'VE must
look to new leadership"
Some Republicans expressed the
hope the former President would clar-
ify his position further. Senator
Frazier, Republican, of North Dakota
commented:
1T wouldn't do any harm for Mr..
Hoover to make the same announce
ment."
See Challenge to Hoover.
Many party spokesmen, looking
ahead to 1910. forecast the of year
elections in 1898 might push some sue
cessful Republican gubernatorial or
senatorial candidate conspicuously to
the fore.
Mr.. Landon's removal of himself
from the contest was interpreted by
some as q challenge for Mr.. Hoover
to do the same, in the light Of their
recent disagreement over holding q
national convention next year.
The party's National Executive
Committee will meet in St. Louis
Monday to pick a Program Commit
tee of 100. Mr Hoover had suggested
this IS preliminary to q 1898
convention.
Mr.. Landon told reporters yeSter-
day. after arriving to attend tonight's
Gridiron Club banquet:
"A man who is in the position of
being suspected of being either an
active or receptive candidate cannot
render the service either to his party
or to his country that I conceive to
be my patriotic duty and RESPONSE
bility In the critical situation con-
fronting us.
Il have not had any intention of
being . candidate In 1910 and in
order that my position may be per-
fectly clear, will not accept the
nomination In the remote contingency
that the Republican National Con-
vention should offer it. to me-"

tary of the territory under Porter
was a nineteen-year-old Virgin
ian named Stevens Thomson Ma
son. He had come to Michigan
from Kentucky and after Por-
ter's death he was made acting
governor. As such he played a
leading role in the exciting but
bloodless Toledo war"
But before beginning the story
of that affair, it is necessary to
cut back briefly to 1905 when
Michigan was made a territory.
The act of congress creating the
Territory of Michigan fixed the
southern boundary as provided in
the ordinance of 1877. The re-
suit was that the new eiritory
claimed a strip of land some
five or six miles wide across the
entire southern side of Lake
Erie, including the port of To-
ledo. But" retorted the Buck
eyes, chats our land. We laid
claim to it three years ago and
we intend to have it." So there
was an acrid dispute which
dragged along unsettled for 80
years.
By 1885 Michigan was ready to
become a state and sought to en-
force its claim on the Lake Erie
strip. But Ohio had it's Miami
and Erie canal system under
construction and wanted an out
let for it in Toledo. Mason, the
youthful governor of Michigan,
denounced this "Ohio steal' and
the people of his state backed
him up in his determination to
assert Michigan's claim to the
Lake Erie strip. In March, 1885,
he rushed a thousand Michigan
militiamen into Toledo, resolved
to hold it against the Buckeyes
at all costs.
At the same time Gov. Robert
Lucas of Ohio called out his mi

litia and marched to Perrysburg
with 600 of them to protect the
Ohio surveyors who were running
a northern boundary line-far
enough north to include Toledo.
Moreover, the Ohio legislature
formed a county out of the dis
puted territory, including Toledo,
and gave it the name of Lucas
in honor of their governor.
An Early ''Night Court"
When the Michigan militia
forcibly elected the Ohio survey
ors, it was up to Lucas to assert
not only military but judicial SOW
ereignty over this region. He
began issuing commissions to
county officers and at midnight
one night, while the Michigan de-
tenders of Toledo slept, a group
of Buckeyes stole into the town
with law books and judicial pa
pers and hurriedly went through
the formalities of holding
court" Having done this, they
raced their horses back to the
protection of the Ohio troops.
Michigan's retort to such actions
was to catch and imprison every
inhabitant of the disputed terri
tory who accepted commission
from Governor Lucas or other
wise indicated allegiance to Ohio.
Next the Ohio legislature in
special session appropriated
$500, 600 and authorized its fight

basis for determining the bounda-
ries from that time until after the
treaty of peace which ended the
Revolution. MitchelIs idea of the
lay of the land in the Old North
west was rather hazy, so there
were a number of errors in his
map. Some of these were fortu-
nate for the United States, for
they enabled the new nation to
lay claim to more land than it
would have obtained if the map
had been correct.
Mitchell's Mistake.
Mitchell made the mistake of
charting the foot of Lake Michi-
gan in latitude Al degrees, 20
minutes, instead of Al degrees,
81 minutes. His map was used
as a guide in 1877 when congress
adopted an ordinance for the gov
eminent of the Northwest Terri
tory, including the present states
of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Hi
nois, and Wisconsin. The ordi-
nance provided that two of the
five states should lie north of an
east and west line drawn through
the southern bend or extreme of
Lake Michigan" The preamble
of the ordinance also stated that
its articles should forever re-
main unalterable unless by COM
mon consent"
In 1900 Ohio was set off from
the Northwest Territory, includ-
ing the eastern portion of Michi-
gan, but in 1902 the whole of the
Lower Peninsula was annexed to
the Territory of Indiana. In that
year also congress authorized the
people of Ohio to form a state
government for entrance into the
Union. Accordingly a conven-
ton was held to draw up a con-
stitution. A trapper told the
delegates that the actual foot of
Lake Michigan was some dis
tance south of the point shown on
MitchelPs map. So the canny
Buckeyes, determined to get all
that was coming to them, stipu-
lated that if the east and west
line laid down by congress should
fall so far south as to miss Lake
Erie, Ohio would then claim all
territory to the northernmost
cape of Miami bay.
On June 80, 1905, Michigan was
set off as separate territory,
with substantially its present linn
it's, and Gen. William Hull was
appointed its first territorial gov
ernor. Hull is chiefly remem-
bered because of his surrender of
Detroit to the British at the out
break of the War of 1872 when
he gave up that strategic post
without making any attempt to
defend it. He was succeeded the
following year as governor by
Lewis Cass, one of the most re-
markable figures in American
history. because of his impor-
lance in the history of Michigan

length later in this article).

activities there might not have
been a commonwealth of Michi-
gan, or, at least, its entrance
into the sisterhood of states
might have been delayed even
longer.
Cass was born in New Hamp-
shire in 1882 and at an early
age joined his father in Ohio
where the elder Cass, major in
the army, was commandant at
Fort Hamilton. Young Cass stud
led law, began his practice at
GAINESVILLE in 1902 and at the age
of twenty-five was elected to the
Ohio volunteers, then a colonel
in the regular army and as a
brigadier general fought under
Harrison at the Battle of the
Thames where the great Indian
chief, Tecumseh, was killed.
Cass' Long Service.
A few weeks later General
Cass was appointed governor of
the Territory of Michigan and
with the exception of a few oc-
casional absences he lived in that
territory for the next 18 years.
He was also ex officio superin-
tendent of Indian affairs and
concerning his work in that ca
pacity one biographer has de-
clared:
cit is no exaggeratiOn to say
that to his exertiOns and influ-
ence is due the actual posses
sion of the Old Northwest. He
negotiated a score of treaties
of great importance, travelled
through the wilderness study
ing how he could civilize the
red man and how he might
open up the vast western re-
gion to peaceful settlement. He
started surveys, built roads
and military works, lighthouses
along the lake shore, arranged
counties and townships, started
the democratic machinery of
self-government, and made the
laws, which were cOdified and
published and have since been
known as the Cass code. The
record of his management of
the Indian affairs is one al
most without parallel in the
history of the United States"
In 1881 CaSS was appointed
secretary of war in Jackson's
cabinet and served there until
1886 when he was made ambas-
sador to France. He resigned in
1912 because he disapproved of
the Webster Ashburton treaty,
which fixed the boundary line be-
tween Canada and Maine and
which gave England the better
military frontier. Returning to
Michigan Cass was elected to

the United States senate in 1845
and served until 1857, except for
a brief period in 1848 while he
was the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency but was defeated
by Gen. Zachary Taylor. In 1852
he lost the Democratic nominal
ton to Franklin Pierce and in
1857 he was appointed secretary
of state by President Buchanan,
but resigned in 1860 because of
Buchanan's refusal to strengthen
the forts in Charleston harbor.
Although Cass was sympathetic
to the South until the time of
secession he became one of Lin
coins staunchest supporters dur
ing the Civil war. He died in
Detroit in 1866.

To get at the origins of all
this situation it is necessary to
60 back to the year 1855 when
Michigan was still a part of the
empire of His Brittanic Majesty,
King George III of England. In
that year one John Mitchell, an
English physician and scientist,
published in London a great map
of America in eight large sheets.
