Republican party in Michigan. sur.
yeying its sweeping election victory,
wonders whether in the person OF
Goyernor-elect Harry F. Kelly 1t has
found a practical Moses to lead il
from the wilderness of reverses en-
countered at Democratic hands
since the advent of the New Deal.
Strategists who drafted Kelly to
make the race for governor had
longer vision than the next two

his home town OF Detroit as well
as in the outstaee counties; veter-
ans organizations like him. The lead

Detroit Republican in the executive
office, he might play his cards prop
erly and Michigan might even re-
turn TO the days when the Repub-
lican nomination on the state ticket
was tantamount to election.
