With 124 candidates seeking
jobs as city fathers, a Detroit
Times reporter today set out TO
find why the race for Common
Council has been turned into q
church picnic free-for-all.
Ignoring the veteran politicians
and tho name candidates the an
Swer TO the question was sought
among the political novices and the
solution appears to be in the fact
that a good many citizens of De-
troit have been nursing secret po-
litical ambitions for years.
Now, with three vacancies in the
council and the possibility that'tAe
public will be looking for more
new faces, they are out to try
their luck in the political arena.
TWO WARNING Up
What success the new candi-
dates will have at the polls is an
other question. Out OF 10 such Of
fice-Seekers. two admitted they did
not expect To win. but were merely
warming up for future elections.
All of the 10 said they had little
money to spend campaigning. but
the other eight declared they had
at least a slight chance 10 squeeze
through the primary and then
would be able 10 put up a strong
fight for election.
The candidates ques o n d
ranged in age from 20 10 90. One
of them. John A. Ross. "a. an opto-
lmetrist became interested in poll
tics because of a friendship with
the late Mayor Anton J. Cermak
