To ASK NEW DEAL
IN SELECTING
DELEGATES
SEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS
WILL FIGHT PLAN OF RUSHING
. THROUGH SLATE PICKED OUT
BY COMMITTEE.

A revolt against the usual method
of running county conventions is brew
ing. and the biggest thing in the next
Republican county convention may be
the fight to be made TO change the
time-dishonored method OF picking
out delegations. This subject came
up In the meeting OF the Seventh Ward
Republican committee, Thursday
night, and II was resolved to present
resolution In the county convention
asking for q new method OF picking
delegates.
II has been the rule heretofore for
the temporary chairman to choose a
committee on apportionment. which
then retired to a back room and pick
ed whomsoever they chose as dele
gates TO the state convention. Then
their report was adopted with whoop
and that was all. Unless the commit
tee represented a minority faction. no
change was ever made In the slate Of
delegates.
In case a majority adverse to the
committee controlled the convention.
this faction would shoot through Its
own slate.
What the Seventh ward men want Is
rule that the delegates from each
ward and township shall choose their
own proportion Of delegates to the
state convention, and leave only the
delegates at-large to be picked by the
apportionment committee.
Louis Funk was elected chairman of
the Seventh ward committee. and JOS
eph Bahorski was made secretary. Jas
o. Murfin was Endorsed for circuit
Judge.

JUDGE WEST
DENIES MOTIONS
ClAZlER VIOLATED LAW IN DE-
POSTING STATE FUNDS IN
CHELSEA BANK.

LANSING. Mich, Jan. 22-Judge
West today denied both motions made
by Attorney Sawyer for Frank p. Glaz-
Ter to direct verdict of acQuittal. or
TO quash the indictment against the
ex-state treasurer. The case was or
dered to proceed before the jury. No
arguments were made by the proscu-
ton en- the motions. at the courts re-
quest. The court decided that Glazier,
as state treasurer, violated the law In
depositing state funds In the Chelsea
bank, he being stakeholder with In
.terests In that bank. This decision left
the case hanging on one issue-the In
tent OF Glazier, which the court said
was a matter for the jury to deter
nine.
Judge West adjourned the Glazier
case till next week for the reason that
the arguments by the attorneys for
both sides and his charge to the jury
should be close together. SO the jury
men would not have to hold any part
in their minds over Sunday.
