Kelly Not Committed

Although political parties hold
conventions TO nominate candi-
dates for secretary of state. attor-
ney general, state treasurer and
auditor general it is the nominee

mines who will be his running
mates for these offices.
This practice is sound For no
party wants 10 force into office a
man whom the candidate for gov
ernor could not work.
Kelly has IN a d @ no commit
mentS. But il is clear that Auditor
General Vernon j. Brown will be
renominated without opposition,
and State Senator Herman Dignan
of OwosSo will be the choice for
secretary Of state.
Dignan, one Of the most popular
members of the legislature. be-
came a candidate for secretary OF
state early in the year He now
has pledges from enough delegates

Battle of Polls

Van Wagner, Kelly
in Speeches TO Date
NOT Yet in Fight
BY FRANK MORRIS

Despite the placid political wa
tiers that now lull the voters,
is destined 10 witness a
ferociouS fight before the election,
November 3.
The fine point about the coming
campaign is that it will be short,
perhaps the shortest on record.
Because the primary election this
year is not until September 10,
the state Democratic and Repub-
lican conventions will not be held
until the end of that month. This
leaves only five weeks for the cam
didates 10 stand up and punch.
They will do Just that. causing
a rumpus far different from the
present gentlemanly conduct of
Gov Murray d. Van Wagner and
his Republican opponent, Secre-
tary of State Harry r. Kelly.
