Enthusiasm ct High Point In County
Convention--Resolutio Whaok
DENLY Hard.

DENLY Hard.
Wayne county. Democrats packed
the assembly hall Of the Burns hotel
to overlooking. Friday night, on the
occasion of the Democratic county
convention. Enthusiasm ran high and
the manner In which the delegates
received the speakers and the resolu'
tons left no doubt that the Demo
Gratis are In the race with both feet
this fall
Frank d. Eaman acted as chair
man and contributed one OF the ora
torical gems Of the evening. Frank
K. Dorenius, candidate for congress
against Edwin DENLY, made the prin-
cipal contribution In the speechmak-
ing line, however, and was warmly
received. He raked Mr.. DENLY over
the Goals without mercy for the part
he had taken In the passage OF the
Payne-Aldrich tari6.
The resolutions, also. toasted Den
by to a turn. He was classed among
the ..subseryient Republican con.
gresham" who "foisted upon the pub
lie at the bebest of the trusts, q
tariff whose colossal iniQuity and op-
preston of the masses Will stand
forever In American history az the
high level Of oficial perfdy."
The resolutions rectte the fact tnat'
when President Taft assumed once
two years ago. he had behind MIN
a record Of brilliant achievement as
Judge and administrator and lovaDie
and spotless character"
within two short years." tho reso-
buttons continue, he has been DIS
credited, and his party has been
wrecked on the rock Of trust greed.
The present sorry plight Of President
Taft and the Republican party IL due
to the Cannon-Aldrich machine and TO
its followers Of the DENLY type. who
made Its dominate ION Of congress pos
sible. They have not only oppressed
the people, but they have discredit-
ed the Republican president and dis
rupted the Republican party, solely
for the purpose OF giving to the greedy
trusts their pound OF tariff flesh. II
the Republican party would survive,
Il must rid itself Of these trust-owned
senators and congressman. and the
people must relegate them to private
life II they would enjoy the rights
which are theirs, and escape the OPP
pressive burden OF the Payne-Aldrich
Smoot tariff"
The Republican party IL charged
with the responsibility for the high
cost of living, and the present wave
Of insurgency Is cited as evidence that
patriotic Republicans appreciate the
gravity Of the situation and protest
against the continued domination OF
the trusts. These Republicans are in
vited to join with the Democrats In
making "a thorough and complete
cleansing of these Augean stables"
by RELOCATING to private life the men
who are responsible for the existing
conditions. among whom none has
been more conspicuous than Edwin
DENLY, II Is declared.
Reference Is made to the footing
Of the state treasury. by Glaxier
and the necessity for q housekeeping
In state AFFAIRS IL emphasized. While
the name OF Chase Osborn is not men
toned, the Republican candidate for
governor comes in for his share OF
abuse. He is characterized as an
eleventh hour reformer," and refer
ence Is made to his support Of Warner
two years ago. The resolutions de-
clare for equal taxation OF all the
property in the state and indorse the
Democratic nominees on all the tick
cts, with a special Endorsement for
William B. Thompson, candidate for
mayor Of Detroit, and Frank e. Dore-
mus.
