For Sutton And Dean

FOR SUTTON AND DEAN

THE EVENING NEWS SAYS WASHTENAW WILL BE.

The Detroit Evening News Thursday evening promulgated their version of the plans of the Pingreeites on the nominations for regents, which will make interesting reading for the republicans of this county. It was as follows :

"The oily-like smoothness of Col. Eli R. Sutton's political methods was never better shown than in the compromise he has fixed up in the fight over the nominations for regent of the U. of M.

"He has accomplished what has heen thought to be impossible. The Pingree and anti-Pingree forces will not have a struggle over Sutton and Dean.

"It has been agreed that the Pingrees shall do nothing to oppose Regent Dean 's ambition to succeed himself, and that the anti-Pingreeites shall not oppose Sutton in the convention.

"This compromise will probably do something towards soothing asperities between the two factions in the republican party, and it puts Dean and Sutton ahead as the most likely nominees for the two regencies.

"In the meantime Col. Sutton will not attempt to oust Col. Dean from his place on the board of regents.

"Sutton came back today from his mysterious eastern trip with Gov. Pingree, and chuckles a little when he is told about Bill Judson capturing the Washtenaw county convention in spite of Regent Dean. Word from Ann Arbor is that Judson was to let the vote of Washtenaw go to Dean, but Sutton says no, he is going to have the vote for himself for regent.

" 'It's this way,' says a friend. 'If Dean and Sutton come against each other for the first nomination for regent, then Judson will turn Washtenaw's vote to Sutton. After that, Dean can have it for the other nomination for regent. That is what I call rubbing it in. But the Dean people out there made a mistake ; they tried to play both sides on the supreme justiceship fight. ' "
