BLISS WILL EASILY WIN

Ex-Postmaster Smith, of Adrian, was in the city Friday and spent part of his visit with "Billy" Judson. He had just broken away from the conference with Judson when he was seen by a representative of the Argus.

"What do you think of the congressional situation?" was asked.

"I have nothing to say," replied Smith. "I have not interest whatever in the congressional nomination."

Later Smith was more communicative and when asked what he thought of Congressman Smith's chances of re-election, he said:

"WelI, you know, two years ago, when Smith was nominated he promised to retire in favor of Townsend, of Jackson when his term expired. I don't know whether or not he will keep his promise."

In spite of all questions that were put to him, Smith declared that he knew nothing of the congressional nomination other than what he had read in the papers. He said that his visit with Judson was just of a social nature and that he was not in Ann Arbor on any political mission.

"Bliss will be renominated and elected easily," said the genial "Doc" as he began sprinting for the train. "That's all I can say to you now."
