| Mr.. Fordney's opposition to the anti
injunction plank of the Republican
platform shows plainly that he is not a
friend Of the laboring man.-Corunna
Journal.
The utterance of the Journal is just
about as far from the truth as have
been a number of others made by that
paper. AS member of the committee
on resolutions at the Chicago conven-
ton Mr.. Fordney signed the report of
the committee embodying the plank re-
ferred to and voted as member of the
Michigan delegation for the adoption
of the report by the convention. He
has since stated publicly a number of
times that he was in accord with the
plank and that the same was approved
by Secy. Taft before it was finally
adopted by the committee. Just what
more can be expected of Cong. Fordney
is difficult to comprehend. The Jour
nal in its desire to injure Cong. Ford
ney is apparently blind to the truth.
At the meeting of the Maple River
farmers club last week Congressman
Fordney is quoted as saying in quite
uncertain tones that he was heartily a
supporter of the doctrines of Cannon
as against President Roosevelt. Go
runna Independent.
Yes, it must have been in quite I'M
certain tones, so uncertain in fact that
no one heard Mr.. Fordney say anything
of the kind. Mr.. Fordney has differed
with Pres. Roosevelt on the question of
sugar tariff and the number of battle
ships which should be constructed in a
single year, yet the opposition, al.
though repeatedly asked to produce a
bill of particulars wherein he has failed
to support the policies advocated by the
President, have not been able to SUBJ
stantiate their claim in one other single
instance-nor can they. His record on
the sugar question is an open book and
he would not change it if he could. As
the large majority of both houses of
congress agreed that two battleships
were enough to build in one year, Mr..
Fordney seems to have been in good
company even if he did disregard the
wishes of Pres Roosevelt.
