JUDSON YET IN POLITICS

Is Now Gunning For Miller's Scalp.

IN LANSING AND SAGINAW

Rounding Up Members of the Legislature on the Clerk of the House.

Where is William Judson? Since his late attempt to save his money bet on Townsend's carrying Washtenaw county by a recount, his name has not appeared in the local press. But Mr. Judson has not been idle, neither has he foresworn politics, as two dispatches from two cities in two papers reveal. Mr. Judson is simply out in the state hunting for scalps and the particular scalp he seems to be after now is that of Lew Miller, clerk of the house.

Tuesday's Detroit Journal contains the following dispatch:

Lansing, Mich., Nov. 25. - Oil Inspector Judson was in the city yesterday and appeared to take an interest in the wires that are being laid to separate Lewis M. Miller from the clerkship of the house. It is an even chance that Sam Cook, for many years journal clerk, will be given that job again by Charles S. Pierce, in the event of the latter's selection as clerk.

The Evening News says:

Saginaw, Mich., Nov. 25 - Mysterious Bill Judson held conferences with the local legislative members-elect last evening, and it is generally understood his efforts were directed to lining up Saginaw county's delegation against Clerk Miller. Judson intimated that the strongest kind of a fight was to be put up against Miller, and it is learned that large sums of money are at the disposal of the anti-Miller faction. Judson did not have clear sailing with the local members-elect, although he is confident that Miller would be beaten and with the aid of the local representatives and senator.
