NOT ENOUGH OF THE SWILL

To Go Around Among the Politicians

AND SOME ARE HUNGRY

Mysterious Bill Judson Pays His Respects to Cook and Marsh

Billy Judson says he is out of politics but that don't prevent him from talking about the situation just the same as ever.

Recently Editor Cook, of the Hastings Banner, came out with a severe castigation of Gov. Bliss and prediction that he would have some trouble at the next convention.

"The way it looks to me now," said Mysterious Bill today, "Governor Bliss will be renominated by acclamation. Why, this man Cook of Hastings and Col. Marsh, of Hillsdale don't cut any more figure in conventions than- , well than Moran. Cook and Marsh are just sore. The trouble with them is that there is not enough swill to go around and they are getting mighty hungry. They will not be delegates to the next state convention from their counties or they won't be delegate to the county convention from their wards. I don't know anything about it myself, but that's what the boys tell me. And this man Cook is a member of the state central committee, but he won't be after the next state convention. You can bank on that. Bliss is going to be renominated easily. That's the way we do things in Michigan. Why, if the Lord himself should be governor of Michigan, there would be some fellows that would find fault with his administration."

And Bill didn't even give winning wink.
