Last nights armory meeting, while
generally looked upon as demon
stration for Gov. Ferris, could not
have been so designated by an i'm
partial critic. The governor received
no more applause than did Rep.
Doremus, Antonio Entenza, congress
sional candidate from the Thirteenth
district, or F. F. Ingram. candidate
for mayor. The only really spon-
taneous applause came when Presi-
dent wilson's endorsement Of the
Judge Stewart Hanley has made
warm friends OF Detroit workingman
by the way he has championed the
movement for work for Detroiters
first, the principal effect of which has
been to keep jobseekers away from
Detroit at a lax season. Every sign
indicates that Hanley will be re-elect
ed to probate judgeship.
Thomas J. Bresnahan, Democratic
candidate for prosecutor Of Wayne
nAn tu rt dat
for probate Judge, and Frank q. Dore-
gress, will attend Democratic meet
ing and smoker to be given by the
"Jos. Schemansky for Alderman club"

Hastings and Willis-aves., at 8 o'clock
tonight. Aid Schemansky Is meet
Ing with q splendid reception In his
race for reelection to the common
council and his election il practically
conceded by those In q position to
gauge the sentiment of the Fifth. :
Dick" Fletcher's reputation of the
Detroit Journals alleged interview,
quoting him as opposed to Chase 8.
Osborn for governor, was no surprise
to those who knew the former COM
mitteeman from Bay. Mr.. Fletcher
worked In the interests Of Frederick
C. Martindale before the primaries,
but. after the defeat OF his friend,
promised his support to Mr.. Osborn.
Immediately after the primaries and
at the Kalamazoo convention, Mr..
Fletcher told The Times that he
would support the party's nominee.
An acquaintance OF several years with
the Bay leader has offered convinc-
ing proof that HIS pledged word Is
better than most mems bond. The
Journals story, on the whole, proved
to be about as true as that other
one to the effect that Chase 8. Os-
born pleaded with Detroit bartenders
for votes. Mr.. Osborn was hundred
miles from Wayne county at the time
alleged In the story.
Edmund G. Shields. chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
promised that, IL successful In the
present election, the Democratic
party would provide for q permanent
board of arbitration to avert labor
troubles. The new law will desig-
nate, he said, the encouragement
and circuit Judge Of the district
wherein the strike occurs as a per-
manent board Of arbitration, they to
select two other members from the
opposing factions.
+. F. Ingram, Democratic candidate
for mayor OF Detroit, will speak to-
night I'm Ervinck's hall, Holcomb-ave.
and Lorman-st; Miller's hall, Elm
wood-ave., and Amidst, and Sche-
mansky's hall, No. 9s7 Riopelle-st.
Probate Judge K. o. Durfee, In a
statement issued Wednesday, at
tackled the proposed constitutional
amendment, giving students. CONNER
cial travellers and members of the
legislature the right to vote without
returning to their homes.
"lf man votes away from home"
said the Judge, there n no one to
challenge his vote. This plan would
enable fraud to creep In too easily.
No great good can be accomplished
by the amendment, and II paves the
way for fraud Of a serious nature
