The main ring, the house of representatives, is expected to go
through its tricks to the .crack of
Whip-master George Schroeder. In
the smaller ring, the senate, the
administration may encounter trou-

and republicans. Leo J. Nowicki,
lieutenant governor, will preside -with
customary independence and dignity.
The special session is not expect*
ed to last more than three days.
Coning so close to the primary election, it cannot drag along much
more than this, as many legislators
are candidates for re-election and
are "busy campaigning for votes.

Many Sideshows
While more money for jobless welfare, extension of the mortgage
moratorium and revamping of the
state housing act are due to occupy
the legislature's attention, according
to the governor's official call, yet
it is conceded that there will be
several interesting sideshows to provide front page copy for campaigning legislators.
For example, take the appointment of Richard T. Prankensteen,
ousted U. A. W. vice-president, to
the state welfare "board.
Frankensteen was removed from
the _T. A. W. board after Homer
Martin fired him for alleged communistic favorism and activity.
State Senator Robert Burns, Detroit
Democrat, has demanded that the
governor relieve Frankensteen of the
appointment. At Jackson the American Legion post went on record in
protest.
Republican Feud
All may appear serene on the surface, but both parties in Michigan
are having "family rows."
! Among the Republicans it is the
Toy-Fitzgerald feud which is becoming more bitter every day. Fitzger-
'ald charges his opponent as being
: anti-labor, while Toy delclares that
| "McKayism" is the real issue. When
newspapermen phoned the Grand
; Rapids republican, leader to give his
• views,, he. professed - ignoranqe about
it all and said that he had seen Toy
lonly a few weeks before at the office of the Ford Motor Company—a
j sly attempt to connect Toy with the
j automobile manufacturer.
| The family row prompted James
jE. Davidson, national committeeman,
to appeal over the radio for party
harmony.
Comstock Haunts
Except for the Nowicki-Schroeder
contest for lieutenant governor, the
Democratic primary is going to be
painless.
j For a while it looked as if Gover-
, nor Murphy -would have opposition.
'Murray D. Van Wagoner, highway
' commissioner, was on the - fence.
Former Gov. William A. Comstock,
Mayor George Welsh of Grand Rapids and others tried to push Van
Wagoner into the arena.
Even Nowicki himself was cool
towards the governor, due to the
latter'j. alleged favoritism to the
C. I. O.
Van Wagoner finally declined to
make the sacrifice. Comstock then
announced he would run against
Murphy in November as a.Jefferson-
ian Democrat. He hasn't the slightest idea of winning, but he hopea
fondly to get enough votes to de<
feat Murphy.
Yes, both parties have, their troubles.
Ome-Man .State Fair
Michigan's state fair at Detroit,
a 16-day event which opens this
Saturday (Aug. 27), continues to be
-remarkable in more ways than one.
Frank Isbey, general manager,
accepts no salary.
He examines every expenditure
whether it be for a nickel pencil or
for the $5,000- neon* sign on Woodward avenue. He makes all decisions of importance.
Last year the fair attendance increased over 100 per cent. This year,
with an extra week's showing, the
state may establish an all-time record. Isbey, a Detroiter, goes in for
entertainment in a big way—dance
bands, radio and movie stars, Hollywood girls and the rest. A novel
attraction this year will be "The
Holy Land," an animated replica of
Jerusalem.

Soaring Gliders
Miles of sand beach and steady
winds from the west have combined
j to create picturesque sand dunes
along the east shore of Lake Michigan.
i Next Sunday at Frankfort the
j dunes will be the scene of a national

airplanes will soar into the skies,
born aloft on westerly winds as they

flights are achieved by using, a succession of updrafts.

The main ring, the house of representatives, is expected to go through its tricks to the .crack of Whip-master George Schroeder. In the smaller ring, the senate, the administration may encounter trou- -ble in "the strength of democrats and republicans. Leo J. Nowicki, lieutenant governor, will preside -with customary independence and dignity. The special session is not expect* ed to last more than three days. Coning so close to the primary election, it cannot drag along much more than this, as many legislators are candidates for re-election and are "busy campaigning for votes. pioneer story today is taken from an with some very fine sentiments which we believe the .reader will enjoy.

Cole's Feed Store PHONE 47 SALINE Many Sideshows While more money for jobless welfare, extension of the mortgage moratorium and revamping of the state housing act are due to occupy the legislature's attention, according to the governor's official call, yet it is conceded that there will be several interesting sideshows to provide front page copy for campaigning legislators. For example, take the appointment of Richard T. Prankensteen, ousted U. A. W. vice-president, to the state welfare "board. Frankensteen was removed from the _T. A. W. board after Homer Martin fired him for alleged communistic favorism and activity. State Senator Robert Burns, Detroit Democrat, has demanded that the governor relieve Frankensteen of the appointment. At Jackson the American Legion post went on record in protest. Republican Feud All may appear serene on the surface, but both parties in Michigan are having "family rows." ! Among the Republicans it is the Toy-Fitzgerald feud which is becoming more bitter every day. Fitzger- 'ald charges his opponent as being : anti-labor, while Toy delclares that "McKayism" is the real issue. When newspapermen phoned the Grand ; Rapids republican, leader to give his • views,, he. professed - ignoranqe about it all and said that he had seen Toy lonly a few weeks before at the office of the Ford Motor Company—a j sly attempt to connect Toy with the j automobile manufacturer. The family row prompted James jE. Davidson, national committeeman, to appeal over the radio for party harmony. Comstock Haunts Except for the Nowicki-Schroeder contest for lieutenant governor, the Democratic primary is going to be painless. j For a while it looked as if Gover- , nor Murphy -would have opposition. 'Murray D. Van Wagoner, highway ' commissioner, was on the - fence. Former Gov. William A. Comstock, Mayor George Welsh of Grand Rapids and others tried to push Van Wagoner into the arena. Even Nowicki himself was cool towards the governor, due to the latter'j. alleged favoritism to the C. I. O. Van Wagoner finally declined to make the sacrifice. Comstock then announced he would run against Murphy in November as a.Jefferson- ian Democrat. He hasn't the slightest idea of winning, but he hopea fondly to get enough votes to de< feat Murphy. Yes, both parties have, their troubles. Ome-Man .State Fair Michigan's state fair at Detroit, a 16-day event which opens this Saturday (Aug. 27), continues to be -remarkable in more ways than one. Frank Isbey, general manager, accepts no salary. He examines every expenditure whether it be for a nickel pencil or for the $5,000- neon* sign on Woodward avenue. He makes all decisions of importance. Last year the fair attendance increased over 100 per cent. This year, with an extra week's showing, the state may establish an all-time record. Isbey, a Detroiter, goes in for entertainment in a big way—dance bands, radio and movie stars, Hollywood girls and the rest.
