Hally Marshals Rank and File.
p. j. M. Hally has been left behind
! to marshal the rank and file OF the
delegation for the journey on the spe-
cial train, Wednesday morning
! Many strong men OF the Campau fol-
lowing will go on the $50 train 10
Lansing Tuesday evening, the balance
going by special train at 1:40 We'd
nesday morning. This Campau dele
cation train Is to be known as the
Bryan special" and will be decorated
with pictures Of the Peerless leader"
No Boiling says Hampton.
There will be no boiling conven-
ton In Lansing" declares Charles 3.
Hampton, chief lieutenant Of Daniel
IT, Campau. THAT Is q roorback start
eel by Gov. Johnson's press agent. II
I the state convention decides against
our delegation. we shall abide by that
decision"
This statement was made In re-
sponse 10 query as to the attitude
OF the Campau followers In case their
delegation from Wayne county is turn
ed down in favor OF the Connolly dele
cation.
Mr.. Campau has won his victory
In the assurance. which IL now con-
coded. that the convention will In
struct for Bryan" continued Hampton
That has been his one aim. He 10
successful. 1t Is true that myself
and some others have made a fight
TO have Mr.. Campau retain his pres
ent position on the national commit
tee"
The Campau men are confident that
the opposing delegation will not be
seated until after hearing before the
credentials committee.
National Committeeman Campau -
now in Lansing making his fight for
Bryan delegates. having left Detroit q
Sis.
! T. A. L. Weadock, former congress-
man from the Saginaw district. and
Charles t. wilkins. are the men pick
ed by the Campauites as district dele
gates to Denver In case their delega-
ton should be seated.
Diminishing Starts Tonight.
Skirmishing in the battle between
Campau and his enemies will begin
when the Democratic state central !
committee meets in Lansing Tuesday
evening. Judge w. +. Connolly will
ask that the regular or anti-Campau
delegation be seated until It's claim
to a part In the convention Is proven
or disproven.
This would give the anti-Campau
men a voice In the temporary organ
izstion OF the convention and the Sc
lection OF a First district member OF
the committee on credentials. which
Will hear the arguments OF both sides.
AS there is Endorsement by the regu-
lar party committees OF city and coun-
ty behind the anti-Campau delegation.
II is likely that Connolly will succeed.
Endorsement and probably instruc-
ton for Bryan are In order In We'd
nesdayis convention. The Johnson
boom seems to have completely blown
up.
Were Il not for the fight on Cam
pau. the Wayne county leaders and
some others throughout the state
would be ready TO make fight to
prevent Bryan Instructions. How
ever. Campau is so devotedly attached
TO the Bryan cause that 20 attack
Bryan would mean victory for Campau
In all likelihood.
There does not seem to be enough
anti-Bryan sentiment In the state out
side OF Wayne county TO defeat In
structions.
