tail merchants. which called upon him
yesterday to protest against the re.
appointment OF State Dairy and Food
Commissioners James w. Helme.
William j. Cusick, retail grocer,
complained that Helme has conducted
newspaper prosecutions in Detroit.
He said that the grocers did not fear
a prosecution in the courts, but did
fear the publicity which Helme's men
gave to their activities. He intimated,
rather ambiguously, that some De
troit merchants were "on the point OF
giving up money to prevent the dis
closures Cusick said that in many
cases a grocer who would fight to the
limit i'm the courts against the
charges made by the food commission

governor, you men in Detroit are a

protest will affect Helmes chances for
