The committee also unanimously

T, activities OF the democratic party In
the "brazen attempt to defeat the will
Of the electorate" as recorded In the
election OF Commander Truman H
Newberry for United States Senator.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, an election for the ofice
OF United States Senator was held in
this and other states of the Union on
the 5th day of November. 1918, and in
the State Of Michigan and in certain
other states republican candidates
were elected to such ONCE of United
States Senator; and.
Whereas. as a result OF such elec-
ffoo n In Mtchi0an auA othar ototao tha
United States Senate will have in
the Goth Congress republican major
ity Of two votes, which. together with
the republican majority in the House
Of Representatives. will insure repub-
lican control of National Legislat ton
during such Congress-; and
Whereas. the republican party. as o.
party Of reconstruction, has amply,
demonstrated its ability to cope with,
problems incident to the reconstruc-'
ton of national affairs and the Ma
tion needs, now as never before. the,
guiding hand Of the party which 1t has
placed in control during the critical
period Immediately following the close,
Of the greatest conflict in history: and
Whereas, the republican majority
In the Senate of the United States is
being threatened. not only In the State
Of Michigan but in the States Of New
Hampshire and Colorado and other
states by activities unprecedented, un-
warranted and unworthy on the part OF
the democratic party In brazen at
tempt to defeat the will of the cleo
torate In each of such states, to de-
prive the voters therein of their
choice for the once Of United States
Senator and to secure control of the
Senate of the United States: and
Whereas. such activities in Michi-
gan have been conducted in such q
manner as to arouse the resentment
and thorough disapproval Of every
right minded citizen, regardless of
party affiliation. with q view to defeat
the will Of the voters Of Michigan In
selecting republican member of the
United States Senate from said State
at such election; and
Whereas. such activities on the part
Of the democratic organization have
been supported by officers of the Ma
tional Administration, particularly the
Department Of Justice, whose officers
have set themselves up as courts of
injury without authority Of law. and
who admittedly act in no other way
than on their own individual respon-
and
Whereas. such officers OF the De-
partment Of Justice have used and are
using the machinery OF the Govern
nent for partisan political purposes
With the sole object Of thwarting the
will Of the electors in their choice for
United States SENATOR and
Whereas. such officers have made
lse of various purely patriotic organ
cations, such as tho American Pro-
ective League, the Military Intelli-
,ence Service. and the Motor Trans
,ort Service to aid and abet their ne
arious operations; therefore be it
Resolved, that the Republican State
Central Committee most vigorously
condemns the methods and practices
Ierein referred to used by the demo
ratio organization, both National and
'tate, by the Democratic National Ad- |
and by Henry Ford, the
efeated democratic candidate for Uni
ed State Senator, and calls upon all
epublican county committees, every |
