Wayne county Democrats viii hold
a mass convention In The, Buypaa2natel

held In Muskegon, Wednesday. The
Democrats dispensed with caucuses
this year, and the chairman of each

1t will not be much of convention
There are no scraps on, so the meet
ing will be more in the nature OF a
smoker and entertainment, the local
spellbinders furnishing the latter
commodity. The reciprocity pact will
probably be indorsed. The Wayne
county Democrats want to send as
large representation as possible to
Muskegon, but the outlook is that the
delegation will not exceed %.
The state convention In Muskegon
will be in the nature of a general jolli

throughout the country last fall. Sew

cepted invitations to attend. Among
them are j. Hamilton Lewis, OF Chi
