I Hamtramck; the cities of Flint, Pontiac and Lansing. Os the api proximately 300,000 votes In the district, only about 45,000 can be classed in “dry” territory. Two other candidates, on a "wet" and the other "liberal" are ’ in the field, but ure expected to detract only slightly from Person's ( vote around whom wet sentiment ( is centered. The out-and-out wet ( candidate is a woman Mrs. Maud |.Slocum Moross of Detroit and the , other is Robert H. Cook of Detroit, , who has been accused of being a wet "decoy" of the dry interests, , Detroit s two other congressmen, , , Robert M.
