Judge George l.. Yaple was unani-
mously nominated for justice OF the
supreme court by rising vote.
For regents of the state university,
Wellington II. Burt. of Saginaw, and
Willis j. Abbott, of Battle Creek,
were nominated.
The resolutions adopted bespeak
the support OF thoughtful citizens
for those principles of government
which find expression through the
national platforms Of the party"
This is the only reference made to
national platforms. The initiative
and referendum is demanded, and the
recent coal strike is taken as an in
dication of the necessity for the mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities.
The resolutions deprecate judicial
participation in the manipulating OF
conventions and the activities OF
ante-conyention politics. Pride is ex-
pressed in the state university and
the democratic party is pledged to
continue its efficiency by every means
in its power, consistent with econ
