A News man met Sheriff Judson, of Washtenavv, on a train Saturday. "Wedemeyer," saiu the sheriff, with his characteristic wink, "has cinch on the Second district. I think he will, at the end, have every vote in the congressienal convention. When the convention opens Washtenaw will be solid for Wedemeyer, Jackson for Townsend, Jlonroe for Spalding, Wayne for Bishop and Lenawee will be divided between Smith, Townsend and Spalding. But 'ust you watch and see if 'Wede' don't have every delégate at the finish. How will he get 'em? Oh, can't say, biu ust wait and you'll see," and a fariv,-ay look carne into the sheriff's eyes hat might have made a stranger doubt his sineerity. "l'm having a lot of work, Effoïïgh. In the first piace I had to knock out Sawyer, lloran and those fellows. The ies they published in the Register would have killed an ordinary man, )ut they didn't hurt me, for just as socn as I met a man and talked with ïim ten minutes I could convince hun hey were lies. But I couldn't see all. of course. "It's hard work, too, because I naven't anyone to help m boom Wede.' " "Do you have to work the whole disrict yourself?" was asked. "What else can I do?" asked the sheriff. "There are lots of fellows who want 'Wede' and want to work for him, ut they don't know how. Not one of em knows how. "The wardenship of the state prison? Oh, I don't know whether ril get it or not, 'cause I haven't thought a thing about it. Every second of my time now goes to help Wedemeyer, anci I haven't a minute to think about self."
