RtiM flffct Can Aaswcred AI rkMf lit Good Cendidafe Party Seeks Strong Man To Go To Voters In Spring i BY O. MILTON KELLY LANSING, Nov. 20 -(AP) -Rank and file Michigan'' Democrats are becoming restive over their lack of a strong, popular, leadersomeone about Thorn to rally and gather strength in the maneuvering which leads to the 1844 election campaign. i They give evidence of a growing suspicion that failure 7 of -some party big-wig, to come forward by this time with at least a strong hint that he has his eyes trained on the governor's office 7 might mean that they will have difficulty finding a "name" standard bearer unless the omens for victory are Michigan Democrats have become used to single dominating figure to call campaign signals, and while many of them became-resentful over what they termed "bosslsm" in party affairs, they consider there is a limit to how far- this "back to the people" movement reasonably may go. First Time For Party -V This is the first time since advent of the new deal that their party has been left without at least one high elective state official about whom to rally.

Former Governor Murray D. Van Wagoner, who was defeated by Republican Governor Kelly last year, has made no formal statement of Intentions, but his friends Insist he will attempt a comeback only if he is convinced the party wants him to carry its standard, and will sumiort him strongly enough- to assure a reasonable chance to win. He is described as convinced that in the party's ranks which contributed to his defeat stemmed mostly from actions of associates from whom he now Is divorced and eager to build an en tirely new organization for a comeback if he is assured old grudges will not hurt him. but fearful old wounds have not healed. Borne of his friends tell a story that the national committee would like to ese a movement take shape in his behalf, but there has been no confirmation of this report Same Men Talked A strong Democratic faction wants former U.

8. Senator Prentiss Brown to try for governor, but its members concede that Brown, who resigned recently as federal Office of Price Admlnistra toin chief, is not enthusiastic about the idea. They have learned, they report, that the office of governor has few attractions to Brown, and tilat he can make more money by not being governor that he could if he were elected. They believe that if he tries for any elective office, he would prefer an attempted comeback to the U. S.

Senate In 1946. Associate Justice Raymond W. Starr of the state supreme court has given no open indication that he wants to become governor. There has been talk that former Governor Frank Murphy, now a V. B.

Supreme court Justice, might come back to Michigan as a "drafted" gubernatorial candidate to strengthen the ticket, but lead ers gave this suggestion a fishy eye. recalling that he ran far be hind President Roosevelt when he was elected in 1936, and that two years later he was defeated. Brooks Mentioned -Earnest C. Brooks, state central committee chairman, who has made speeches lambasting the past leadership of Van Wagoner, also has been mentioned, but no or eanization to support him has sprung int onew informal being. William M.

Donnelly. Wayne county Democratic chairman, has disclosed that a group of Democrat leaders including himself met here recently in a closed meeting to discuss finances and organization plans. Van Wagoner, Brooks and others were there, out ny muwiai consent no one brought up The subject of whom to back for governor.
