"a. candidate for congress In the
Thirteenth district. Many of the

did not receive invitations to 60.
The keynote OF the speeches was
harmony and a united Democracy.
CONGRESSMAN Doremus spoke of what
congress has been doing TO redeem
the pledges Of the party as to reform
Legislation on the tariff, trusts and
currency.
The coming election is a crucial
one," he said, because II means that
we are going to the people for in
dorsement OF what we have done. Ii
makes me sick and tired to hear the
paid representatives Of special In.
terests going round now saying. Let
congress go home and put of the
trust legislation till the regular SEES
sion The president Is right in in

ored In the past would attempt thus

MIR. Ingram, who was the first one

only Incidentally upon the issues of
His coming campaign. He referred
to the present "city hall gang as
"carbuncle on the body polite" which
| Is due for lancing by the voters

The next speaker was Justice JEFF

speech, he declared that his chief

Democracy" he said, now Is fac

ideals In Detroit; an opportunity the
like Of which Is seldom seen. We
have candidate against whom not
one word can be said by anybody.
There IL no man In the country who
has more fundamental or more
scientific understanding or the prin-
ciples OF government. He has long
been student Of political economy
and an advocate Of reforms which
have proven successful. '"--'
He is broad-minded and progress
siye, and thousands OF Republicans
will rally around the principles for
which he stands"
Judge Connolly told OF the fall OF
the Republican party since the .'peo-
rle fell for its bunco game OF re-
vision of the tariff by its friends in

Of oil members Of the Democratic
party to carry forward the reforms
II advocates both in local and ma
tional affairs.
Mr. Eptenza injected little variety
into the unvarying harmony talk by
an Endorsement OF Bryan democracy.
He declared his confidence In win.
ming out IN the Thirteenth district in
, spite Of rumor that he was going
to BIO defeated by Democrats of the
voteswappers' league. He refused
to take stock, he said, In a report that
an inter-party machine alliance had
agreed to elect Congressman Dore-
mus In the First district, and Charles
A. Nichols In the Thirteenth.
