BLoSSOMED AS BOSS

Long a phantom character in
Michigan politics, Mckay came to
the surface as the Republican
boss at the 1910 national conven-
tion when he became national
committeeman and threw Mich
igan's votes TO Wendell Willkie.
At the 1914 convention, Mckay
sought another term on the ma
tional committee, bat was dis
owned" by Gov. Kelly, although
Mckay had given Kelly his first
political job.
Mckay was defeated and Kelly's
candidate, Arthur Summerfield,
was elected.
1t became obvious that McKay's S
power began 10 wane when he
was indicted by the federal grand
jury.
The Grand Rapids politician was
state treasurer 20 years ago and
served two terms.
At that time McKcighan was
mayor OF Flint and controlled Cen
esee County politics. They formed
a political alliance that eventually
made them the rulers. behind the
scenes, of the state government.
Judge Carr signed the warrant
at 2 p. m. and state police headed
by Sgt. Lee Van Conant, were as
signed to make the arrests. The
defendants, when served, Will be

SIMILAR TESTIMONY

The testimony is expected 10
follow, 10 some extent, the testi-
mony in the trials of Mckay and
McKeighan in the Detroit Federal
Court in 194l and 1912.
The first trial resulted in n
hung jury. The defendants were
acquitted in the second.
At these trials, the government
proved that Mckeighan set up
three sales companies TO handle
whisky accounts during Repub-
lican administrations.
The records showed that diStil-
lerieS which were represented by
and his colleagues
were given large orders and COM
plete distribution, while other
were on a starvation

TO prepare meal He built no
campfires unless driven to do so
by the biting cold.
When Thompson began carry
ing the mail he logged a Der
ringer, but soon found that it was
excess baggage, for so swiftly did
he travel that neither Indian nor
predatory animal could oyertake
him. For years his only weapon
was a hunting knife.
His service to the government
following the outbreak Of the Civil
War was exceedingly important,
for the Confederates blockaded
the stage line running south from
Fl. Smith, Ark, to San Francisco,
50 all government communications
in and out Of Northern California
had to go over the High Sierra in
Thompson's mail pouch.
When the government cancelled
its contract. people on both sides
of the Sierrr urged Thompson 10

two long winters, until the rail-
road came, he continued TO carry
the mail without a cent OF COM
pensation.
