Lead Roosevelt

Last year Van Wagner won
the governorship while Roosevelt
was losing this state ta~.AXillkie,
but Republicans credited the Van
Wagoner's success TO the weakness
of Gov. Luren d. Dickinson.
The election two weeks ago,
however. established the fact that
the Democratic Party is a potent
political force that no longer
relies upon the President.
In making their plans for 1912,
COP leaders are looking toward
Secretary of State Kelly for lead
ership. Kelly led the ticket last
November and they hope he will
be their next candidate for gov
ernor.
But Kelly is not enthusiastic.
1t is more likely that he will
oppose Senator Prentiss NJ. Brown,
whose term expires next year.
Former Gov. Wilber NJ. Brucker
also is cycling that post and
Brucker and Kelly may battle for
the nomination in the COP
primary.

particularly impressive because II
established the Democratic Party
as a major force in Michigan
without the aid of Roosevelt This
has not happened since the cleo
ton of the late Woodbridge n.
Ferris more than a quarter of a
century ago
It was Roosevelt who carried
Michigan for the Democrats in
1882 and his influence carried
over into the Spring election of
1888 Without Roosevelt heading
the ticket, Democrats failed. but
when the President was running
for a second term, Michigan again
deserted the COP.
