The Detroit Free Press says:-

Charles Roe, of the Hotel Normandie, tells an interesting story, an echo of the state republican convention. It appears that Charles Rennick, chairman of the Saginaw county delegation, had never had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Hon. "Bill" Judson, chairman of the Washtenaw county delegation, although both were on the same side of the political fence. Mr. Roe asked Rennick if he had ever met "Mysterious Bill" and steered him up against the wily Ann Arborite. Rennick stands six foot three in his stocking feet and "Bill" Judson is below the average height. Rennick stepped up and said:

"Say, are you the Bill Judson that we read so much about in the papers?"

"I am sometimes called Bill," said Judson.

"Well you don't look such a much," said the Saginaw man, tipping his hat onto his nose and squinting down at the politician.

Friends of Judson called attention to the fact that it is not always quantity but quality that makes a man famous, and even stated that there is a movement on foot to have the name Washtenaw county changed to Judson county next winter when the legislature is in session.
