tee. chairman OF the same. secretary of
the county committee. member ~ the
state central committee. member ~ the
congressional committee. and for five
years chairman Of the city committee.
In 1880 Mr.. Doran Was elected To the
Michigan senate. and AT once became
recognized leader of the majority. He
belonged Ia several important commit
tees. and was veIy influential both on
the floor Of the senate and IN the com
mittee room. He was particularly active
in matters pertaining To- the interests of
the workingmen. In lS2 Senator Doran
was renominated. and in spite ri the fact
that the republican party achieved
signal victory both in the city and the
county. he pulled through by good
majority. This result was due princi-
pally to the fact chat the workinCmen
stood hy the senator in the election.
Senator Doran now belongs Ia a hope
less minority. but. nevertheless. the
lieutenant governor has recognized his
experience and qualifications by appoint
ing him member IL very important
