Attempt is Made TO Discredit
Second District Member in
Brady Matter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The organ
ization forces. Wood, Shields. Connolly
and Congressman Doremus, In this
instance-apparently aren't satisfied
with having worsted Congressman
Beakes by putting over their man.
James j. Brady, for internal revenue
collector OF the eastern Michigan dis
trict, but want TO fasten onto Beakes
a share OF the responsibility Doremus
assumes TO union labor in naming
Brady for the post.
A report has been sent from here
TO Michigan that Brady's appointment
was the result OF an understanding
reached with Beakes. whereby Beakes
agreed to Brady.
This Is but a sample OF what the
reactionary Democratic element In
Michigan is furnishing the newspa-
pers for publication from here. Rep.
Beakes most emphatically states he
did not favor Brady or any other en-
envy OF labor for this position or for
any other. The congressman says he
has always been a staunch friend or
labor. and would not be a party 20
any plan whereby this element would
be insulted as IL has been In the nam
