Glazier Named For Senator

The Jackson Press gives the following account of the republican senatorial convention at Chelsea:

It took the republican tenth district senatorial convention only an hour Saturday to nominate Frank P. Glazier, the Chelsea oil stove man, who is credited by party men with being the brains and inspiration of State Oil Inspector Judson, for state senator, to succeed Senator Loeser. The convention was run according to schedule, and no skip was made in the working of the Washtenaw machine.

Arthur McCain of Jackson, chairman of the senatorial committee, called the convention to order at 11 o'clock and called H. J. Prettyman of Ann Arbor to the chair. W. J. Riley of Jackson was made secretary. The usual committees being named, W. E. Bellows of Jackson being chairman of the committee on order of business, W. W. Wedemeyer of Ann Arbor on resolutions, and W. M. Eaton of Jackson on credentials.

Mr. Wedemeyer placed the name of Frank P. Glazier of Chelsea before the convention in a very smooth speech. He urged his. claims as a staunch party man and as a representative business man. He reminded the Jackson delegates of their obligations to Mr. Glazier, Judson and the Washtenaw machine in securing the nomination of Townsend and Blair, and very strongly intimated that the time had come for repaying the obligation which had been incurred. Mr. Wedemeyer also spoke of the exceptional number of important state institutions in the district, and the desirability of putting a business man of training and experience in the place.

There were no other nominations, Senator Loeser having been effectually sidetracked by the machine before the assembling of the convention. Mr. McCain, on behalf of the Jackson delegates, seconded the nomination and it was made unanimously.

Mr. Wedemeyer's resolutions contained a significant declaration in the endorsement of the candidacy of Gen. Alger for United 'States senator, and it will be a surprise to many of the delegates when they learn that the nominee for state senator is already practically instructed to vote for him, if he is elected. They also endorse the action of President Roosevelt in calling the conference of the miners and operators, and favor Mitchell's side of the controversy so far as his demands for arbitration are concerned. There is also, of course, the usual routine approval and indorsement of things republican.

Mr. Glazier was brought before the convention and made a short speech of acceptance, and the convention adjourned in good time for dinner.
