Shields Addresses Democrats.

At the Democratic state convention
at Detroit today, state Chairman f.
c. Shields delivered the following adj
dress:
GeEtlemen Of the Convention:
AZ your convention two years ago
stated that politically Michigan was
then debatable state. The result of
the election following that convention
wherein the people chose Progressive
presideptial electors, a Democrat gov
eruor and Republican State officials
confirmed that prediction. In my opin-
ion Michigan today contains larger
percentage Of sincere conscientious in
dependent voters than any other state
i'm the Union.
The Democratic party is no longer a
party of criticism but has attained
the position of responsibility for gov
ernment. II is the positive and con-
structive party OF this nation. by the
administration of President Wilson
the people of this nation have been
taught that the Democratic party Is
LOYAL patriotic and has the best inter-
ests and welfare of the whole nation
as it's fundamental program. The clear
reasoning and perfect logic of our
president has fortified him in advocat-
ing laws and procedure which cannot
be intellgently or conyincingly criti-
cized.
In the state the absolute fairness,
honesty and conscientious adherence
to the demands of his duty to the
whole state has gained for Governor
Ferris. not only the respect, but the
enthusiastic admiration and support Of
all men and women.
The fact that the political parties or
Michigan are now moro nearly equal
insures greater care in the choice OF
officials, a closer scrutiny of the per-
sonal characteristics of candidates and
n searching inquiry into the principles
and platforms upon which each candi-
date runs for office so that Michigan
NAV choose one who is not only best
fitted tempermentally, but who repre-
sents the clearest. the most concise
and the most beneficial program for
Michigan's government.
In your nominations today hope
Won will select such able and compe-
tent candidates that the whole state

Assistant Manager Huck Thinks Man-
 ager Hanna Unfair.

 July S1, 1914. Sporting Editor, Herald,
 Dear Sir:-In reply to the commun- ication, signed A. C. Hanna, Mgr. Rangers, which was published in Thursday nights Herald I wish to say that MT. Hanna is very unfair in his criticisms of the Annex B. B. club He states the Rangers have this sea- son defeated the Annex nine. In a very meagre way this is true When the club was just forming, and in a very crude state, they defeated us by the small score of Al. But since then the team has been greatly strengthened.
 MT. Hanna ironically asks what fast teams we have defeated this season and he contemptuously asserts we were badly beaten by the Larkspurs In answer to this question and this statement I want to say that we have defeated such teams as the kensing- ton Independents that have caused the Rangers to haul down their coll ors. We have also beaten the Tigers of Rockville, a team that has met de-
  as for our severe thrashing at hands of the Larkspurs, I can only say that we lay no claim to supremacy. We admit that all teams like all players. have their ''off-days'' and we realize that we are no exception to the gen. eral rule.
 We do not claim to be better team than the Rangers. We merely resent MT. Hannas personal selection of the teams that are to play for tile championship of this city. We think it no more than fair, in view of MT Hanna's aspirations for his team, that we be given a chance to prove that we are no deeper in the bush than any other team in the Hardware City Respectfully yours,
