The MacKay men were fearful thar
the Oakman crowd might Try to In
dorse Charles A. Buhrer for county
auditor. Any attempt to do 90 would
have prectpitated fight, but Oakman
was not eager TO invite q scrap and
left out all references TO local candi-
dates. He was so anxious for harm
ony that he did not even prepare q
list OF delegates. This made a lot OF
extra work for the apportiorment
committee and delayed the conven.
ton for an hour or more.
"a Ailtnn naEnnan nf the
Wayne county committee, called the
convention to order shortly after III
o'clock. He called Fred w. Smith to
the platform as temporary chairman
and John F. w. Vergouw was made
temporary secretary. Smith named
Aid. Charles McCarty az chairman OF
the committee on organization and
Fred w. Davis a. chairman OF the
committee. In accordance
with the cut-and-dried program. After
a brief recess, the committee on or
ganixation reported In favor Of max.
ing the temporary organization per.
manent. which was done by unan.
imous vote.
The chairman then named the 9TH
or committees a. follows:
Resolutions--Milton Oakman, chair
man: Aid. Joseph Merritt, Peter Pro
chaska, William @. Malcomson and
Arthur Layton (Apportionment-
Alex. ]. Groesbeck, chairman; Oscar
B. Marx, Rudolph Grant, John Knight
and Arthur Baisley. ~ s
Another recess was taken while the
apportionment committee framed ita
report Because no list Of delegates
to the state convention had been pre-
pared, the work Of framing the report
took up considerable time. Further
evidence Of the harmony that prevail
ed was apparent when Alex. Groes
beck invited all who wished to 60 To
Saginaw to hand In their names
whether delegates or not, In order
that the Wayne delegation might
make as good q showing as possible
In Saginaw.
An interesting situation developed
in the fourth precinct Of the Second
ward Fred e. Fischer was the dele
gate nominated at the regular caucus
Friends OF Allan p. Cox wanted the
latter named as delegate, but when
they went to the polling booth shortly
after O'Clock they were informed that
the caucus was over and that the polls
were closed. They proceeded at once
to hold q trump" caucus and Cox was
nominated unanimously. Both names
were sent into Chairman Oaknnan
The committee on superintendent
seated Cox and took care Of Fisher
by making him delegate from one OF
the other precincts where vacancy
occurred. Cox. by the way, 10 an Oak
man lieutenant.
II was nearly ! o'clock when the
convention finally reassembled, the
delegates IN the interim, visiting
among themselves, for speechmakins
was tsbooed. The principal business
OF the convention was dispatched ir
short order and without q hitch. BY
