Here Mr.. Frensdorf took clippings
from Detroit newspapers from hds

ing what the party is up against. They
read:
WASHINGTON. May 1s.-The liar

statement today: GOV Harmon won q
substantial victory over Gov. Wilson
| I'm the Democratic state convention at
Bay City. Mich, yesterday. according
Wood in cbsTsn t tSs 1o
palgn in Michigan. The effort OF -ka
Wilson forces to get an instructed
delegation for Gov. Wilson TO the BALI
convention voting to send an unin-
structed delegation OF 80. At least "a
OF these delegates favor Gov. Harmon'k
nomination. Mr.. Wood, who was re-
| named as one OF the six delegates-at-
| large. The Clark managers imported
eontingent OF the speakers friends
among the delegates. They were UNI
| able, however. to get an instructed
delegation from their candidates"

Greenvllle tonight. A statement WA

| Does anyone wish to take issue
with me when I say not 10 per cent

sirous OF the nomination Of Gov. Har.
mon?"
| Are we sending a truly represents

ters, Is correct?
We know too we'll that the rina
| politicians In every state favor n re-.

been as successful in other states IN
defeating the will Of the majority. "a
they claim TO have been in Michigan
you can easily imagine what the re.
suit at Baltimore will be.
! The progressive Democrats have
reason TO expect about as little con.
sideration from the national commit.
tee as the progressive Republican,
are receiving from their national com.
mittee. It's easy to defeat the will
or the people now, but IL wont be
easy to repeat the dose as coon as
November"
