Detroit Mich, March 1O-William J.
Bryan made an address at the morn
ing session to-day of the state Demo-
cratic judicial convention in this city.
The convention was thoroughly har-
mpnious and enthusiastic.
Mr.. Bryan in his address said:
NO Democrat has reason to be de-
spondent. We must not work on the
principle of expediency. We n.ust be
sure we are building on the right
ground. There never was a time
when there was a greater need for
the application of Democratic princi-
Piles than to-day.
Down East, in Delaware, learned
more about some other things than
about future candidates for the pres :
dency. I found that many Republic
cans were fighting against a man
named Addicks. found that in some
places three-quarters of the voters had
received money for their votes. But
could not draw the line between Ad-
dicks, who wanted to buy a senator
ship with his own money and run il
for his own interests and the other
men who buy office for a corporation
and run it for the interests of the corr
poration- What my friends, do you
say of men who buy senatorships with
the money of corporations and go to
Congress as slaves of the corpor-
ations?
Senate Would OF Do 1t.
1.-THE Senate would not ever take up
for consideration the House bill for
the control of trusts. These men are
worse than Addicks. If you wanted
| anything from the Delaware man you
would talk to Addicks, but in these
other cases you would have to go to
the masters of the officeholder. l can't
draw distinction between the men
who sell their votes for S. and the one
who makes a million trading in party
policies. l remember a case where ].

of Republican policy. All the differ
ence between Addicks and the rest is
tafat he confessed openly Ca " HAT otis

/ II have been accused of preventing
harmony. No man wants harmony
more than l do, and no one has suf-
| fered more for lack of it than l have.

| Work of the Convention.
Judge George L. Yaple of Mendon
who is the nominee for Supreme judge
for a term of ten years. to succeed
Judge Frank A. Hooker, was fomi-
mated without any other name being
| presented to the convention.
For regents of the state university
| Wellington r. Burt of Saginaw, and
| Willis j. Abbot of Battle Creek, editor
of the Pilgrim Magazine, were nominal
ed. The resolutions adopted merely be-
speak the support of thoughtful citi-
zens for those principles of government
which find expression through the ma
tional platforms of the party. This is
the only reference made to national
| platforms.
The initiative and referendum is de-
manded, and the recent coal strike is
! taken as an indication of the necessity
for the municipal ownership of public
| utilities.
