TO Be IGNORED
AT BIG BANQUET
Have No Part in Arrangements
For the Wilson-F Ferris Jubi-
lee Feast
JUST LIKE SCOFFERS
IN TINE OF NOAH
Anxious To Climb Aboard the
Ark When the Deluge
Comes

Democrats OF Detroit are emiling at
the discontinue Of the Vote.Swap-
pers' league over the Wilsou.Ferris
jubilee banquet to be held In the
Hotel fuller, Jan. 6.
Members OF the league are In the
same position that the people OF
Noah's district were In when the third
morning broke and 1t was still rain
ing. They had scoffed at the ark and
had tried their best TO Kinder its
building. but when they stood up TO
their knees In water they cast longing
eyes at the big scow.
The Vote-Swappers' league was not
consulted regarding the ARRANGEMENTS
for the banquet. The feast was plan
ned by original Wilson men, and those
whom they invited as honored guests
were men whose Friendship for the
president-elect has never been cues
toned. Prominent Democrats" who
did their best to shGlve Wilson In
the primaries, who continued TO fight
against him In Baltimore, who were
sorely disappointed at his nomination
and who were very cool In their sup
port OF the Democratic candidate dur
Ing the cmpaign. If not actually OBJ
posing him, but who have been claim
ing control OF Michigan patronage
ever since the hrst Tuesday In No
vember, were not even consulted re-
garding the details Of the celebration.
They are somewhat better on than
Noah's neighbors, for key can buy a
ticket for 81 and Chamber into the
banquet hall along with those who
really did believe In Gov. Wilson and
helped elect him.
The Wilson men who planned tho
party are grinning quietly. They
have put the Vote-Swappers In a
peculiar position. Will they attend
the banquet. and Join ir the applause
for Wilson and Ferris, and tell their
right and lett-hand ncighhors how
they love and admire those states
men? Or will they stay away, thus
indicating that they are aware OF the
breach between themselves and the
Democrats OF Michigan?
The general opinion is that the Vote
Swappers will be present, and that
the meeting will be very harmonious.
But nobody will be deceived by their
presence. or by their hearty applause
for the successful candidates
