Governor MeCray •was convicted on a charge of embezzlement. ■Chase Oeborn is a journalist, and has owned several newspapers in Michigan. He is a distinguished entomologist as well, nnd discovered the source of the firefly's light. He is a multi-millionaire, and says he has no wife or dependents, and plenty of time to spare.
