Judson Levies On Green's House

Judson Levies On Green's House

For $500 Loaned Him Last December

It Is War To The Knife

With Republican Politicians All Over the County -- Ypsilanti Politician Says Its Glazier or Judson

The Green letter repudiating Judson yesterday added fresh fuel to the controversy now going on. Judson immediately countered by taking out a levy for $500, and interest since Dec. 18, upon two houses belonging to Gen. Green in Ypsilanti, filing the lien with the register of deeds. The statement given out by Mr. Judson was to the effect that he loaned Gen. Green $500 Dec. 18, on a one-day note to put into a theatrical venture in Toledo, that he had seen the general the night before the letter and everything was all right between them, but that as he had found that he couldn't rely on the general, he was a little shaky about his $500 and wanted to protect himself.

The Detroit Tribune sent a man out in Ypsilanti to feel the republican pulse there last week and under promise that his name would not be used secured the following interview from one of the most loyal of Judson's former supporters:

"The movement to get rid of Judson began a year ago, and all the present bluster is but a part of a preconcerted plan to make his dethronement as harmless as possible. When Chairman Green flirted with the antis last fall by putting his primary plan into execution, it was with the same purpose in view. But Judson was too cute for them.

"The old Judson workers in this section are with Green and Wedemeyer, in the hope that the reorganization of the party may bring about another swing of county control. In Milan the situation is the same, and I understand the feeling has been worked up in Saline and Manchester. The Ann Arbor bunch is with Judson and will be. He will have a large following in Dexter and Chelsea also.

"Do I stand by Bill? Well, I guess not. I am with the boys for reform. But that reform is all in your eye. We are out for another boss, and he may be worse than Judson. Who? Why, Glazier of Chelsea, of course. At Detroit last Friday he said he wanted to be the leader, and you can just bet all this fuss is brought about for that purpose."

"But," said the Tribune, "will Judson be overthrown? Will not the leaders in the revolt suffer also?"

"I'm afraid the combination will do him up," said the former Judsonite, "and perhaps the boys who have started it will fall, too. Such things have happened. But with me it is a case of being in the push, and that is why I don't want to be known as telling you this. I think I can keep my bearings all right, and if Bill does come out on top I am just as good a friend as ever; if not, I'll have a stand-in with Glazier."
