Judson's Man Sees Sawyer

Wants Latter to Run for Prosecuting Attorney

NOT FOR $1,000,000

Would I be Mixed Up With the Republican Organization This Year, Says Sawyer 

Lieutenant General William Judson is already going about the work of preparing his fences for the county election this fall. He has been looking for a man for prosecuting attorney and has sent one of his command to see Andrew J. Sawyer, Jr., to inquire if he would accept the office. Sawyer gave Judson's man an icy stare and told him he would have no connection with the Judson regiment. That he would not enlist with the Red Chieftain's forces for any consideration.

Mr. Sawyer admitted that he had been approached by a Judson lieutenant and asked to run for prosecuting attorney.

"I wouldn't be on the republican ticket this year for $1,000,000," said Mr. Sawyer. "I don't want to be prosecuting attorney, but even if I did I wouldn't want to be mixed up with the republican organization this year."

Since seeing Sawyer, Judson's lieutenant has called on several other attorneys, with what result has not been definitely learned, but it is understood that one of the lawyers called upon agreed to make the race providing Judson would throw the whole force of his regiment towards him.

It is the evident intention of Judson to get control of the judiciary, hence his early seeking about for a man for the prosecuting attorney's office.

"If Judson should have the naming of a man for prosecuting attorney I would want to get out of the county," said a prominent republican this afternoon. "It's bad enough to have Judson and his cohorts run the Governor's office at Lansing, but if he attempts to influence the election of officers to judicial positions there will be an uprising in this county that will drive Judson and his $2 gang of politicians to the woods."

It is said that Carl Storms and Frank A. Stivers are mentioned for the office, but one of Judson's lieutenants said Tuesday that he had not seen either of the gentlemen and did not know that they were considering the office.
