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 I'm which the delegates
received the speakers and the resolu-
tiors left no doubt that the Demo
Gratis are In the race with both ieet
this fall.
Frank ID. Eaman acted as chair
man and contributed one OF the ora
torical gems of the evening. Frank
K. Doremus, 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 tariff.
The resolutions, also, toasted Den
| by to a turn. He was classed among
the "subservient Republican con.
gresham" who "foisted upon the pub
lie at the behest of the trusts, a
tariff whose colossal iniquity and OPP
preston OF the masses will stand
forever in American history as the
high level of official perfidy.'
The resolutions recite the fact that,
when President Taft assumed Office
two years ago, The had behind him
a record Of brilliant achievement as
Judge and administrators and lovable
and spotless character"
within two short years." the reso-
lutions continue, he has been dis
credited, and his party has been
he nf
The present sorry plight Of President
Taft and the Republican party Is due
to the Cannon-Aldrich machine and to
It's followers of the DENLY type. who
made It's domination Of congress pos
sible. They have not only oppressed
the people, but they have diseredit-
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. IL
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 IL they would enjoy the rights
which are theirs, and escape the op-
pressive burden OF the Payne-Aldrich
Smoot tariff"
The Republican party Is 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 Glazier
and the necessity for housekeeping
In state affairs Is 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
cts, with a special Endorsement for
William b. Thompson, candidate for
mayor of Detroit, and Frank Z. Dore-
mus.

lutions. He also made speech. 9th
