dent from each state also was named.

the savings banks section occurred at
the afternoon session when the ques-
lions OF postal savings banks and the

up. While IL was evident that the
sentiment was against the postal saw
ings and guaranty ideas. respectable

decide. and not for a single section.
John Schuette, of Wisconsin, spoke
in favor Of the guaranty of bank de-
posits.
Former Gov. Myron 7. Herrick OF

nouncing the deposit guaranty plan az

CURRENT PALAVER
OF The POLITICIANS

Democratic candidates for city and
county Offices met in the sherif's Of
flee Monday night, and plans were
made for the campaign. which. 1t Is
said, will be a lively one. Meetings
will be held in all parts Of the city
and county. The Wayne County Bry-
an club will meet Friday night In
Schiller's hall.
Democrats OF the Thirteenth ward
are preparing to put up stiff fight to
return ex-Ald. Joseph Dedrich to the
council. During Mr.. Dedrich's absence
from the city, and without his knowl-
edge, he was nominated. his friends
carrying on the campaign without his
assistance. when he learned what
had happened he decided to stick, and
he is already at work. Goeschel and
Lemke are the Republican nominees.
II has been practically decided that
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American ederation of Labor, will de-
liver an address In Detroit, Oct. 10,
giving his reasons why union labor
should support the Democratic ticket
this year. This district Is Of particu-
lar Importance inasmuch as a union
labor leader, VIM. ID. Mahon. has been
nominated as the Democratic congress
sional candidate. John Mitchell may
follow Gompers here. Mahon Is pre-
pairing to make a vigorous campaign,
contrasting Rep. Denby's declaration
in favor of union labor two years ago
with his utterance In regard to the
omen shop at the time of the teleg-
raphers' strike.
II will take the remainder OF the
week for the city and county canvass
ing boards to finish checking up and
totaling the votes for candidates for
city and county nominations. Both
boards met Monday, elected officers
and appointed clerks to go over the
tally sheets. No notices Of recounts
have been fled as yet, although sew
eral are In contemplation. Notice
may be given any time until the can
vassing board finishes its sessions.
A meeting of the executive officers
of the Wayne County Republican club
will be held Wednesday evening In
the Hotel Pontchartrain. All the rep
resentatives OF ward branches are ex-
pected to be present, and the general
plan Of campaign will be discussed. In
the succeeding meetings, held each
Wednesday night. the various candi-
dates will be called in for consulta-
ton. The speaking campaign In the
big tent opens next Monday night In
the Sixteenth ward and each night
thereafter meeting will be held In
some portion Of the city.
