“DICKINSON KEY FIGURE IN 1940 MICHIGAN RACE

Foo of ‘High Life’ Is Silent On Plans for Next Year’s Election.

~ LANSING, Mich., Nov. 17 (U. P). —An eccentric, 80-year-old Sunday

. and warring against liquor holds the key to a strange political engima ‘in Michigan, Will Governor Luren D. Dickinson, outspoken critic of “high life” society, run for governor next year? When he succeeded to the gover---norship last March on the death

of Governor Frank D. Fitzgerald] Governor Dickinson proclaimed that he “obviously” would not be a candidate in 1940. Observers do not believe it is at all “obvious” now.

Liquor No “Evil”

His views on liquor and morals in: general have made little impact ‘upon government in Michigan. The

But every Republican politician - In the state who aspires to be chief - ‘executive realizes that Governor Dickinson has a nest egg of votes and most of them believe he could win the direct primary nomination against a large field of candidates. They are worried about the Governor’s refusal definitely to elim-

* inate himself from the political pic-|

ture. He has been asked to make a clear-cut statement many times.

Far Mail Support

“I'm not giving any thought to 1940 at all,” he said. “If I started thinking about politics, I could not give attention to matters here in the office.” : Governor Dickinson’s blast at the moral tone. of social functions at the Governors’ conference in Albany and New York City last summer produced a deluge of fan mail that was 20 to 1 favorable for him. His subsequent blasts against sin in the » cities have been similarly productive. Seven times he was elected Lieutenant Governor, often over the opposition of the “liberals” within his own party. He won by a larger margin in 1933 thah any other Republican candidate. If he continues {o be evasive about his p for next year, it is con. sidered likely that other Republican leaders may get together and present a united front candidate against him in the primaries.
