his friends declare. 1t is on this
record Of achievement that they pro-
pose to make the campaign for Sen
ator Townsend, and unqualified conf
dence in its success was expressed on
every hand.
Opposition Is Scored.
A significant feature Of the meeting
was the unity with which the speak
ers denounced the forces which are
seeking to bring about the defeat OF
Senator Townsend and It wal fire.
quently charged that the agitation
over the Senator's vote on the seating
OF Senator Newberry was but the
manufactured issue OF the opposing
party and of those interests which
seek revenge for past defeats, rather
than the welfare of the state and
nation.
The list Of speakers at the meeting
reads like a roll call Of the Repub-
lican leaders Of the state. The first
speaker was Milo D. Campbell, OF
Coldwater, candidate for governor In
the campaign Of 1920 and an outstand-
ing figure in the Republican party for
many years. Mr.. Campbell was TN
stintcd In his praise Of the record OF
Senator Townsend and unhesitating
in his condemnation of the Democratic
party.
"There would be no opposition to
Senator Townsend now had 1t not
been for selfish ambitions" he de-
clared
THE voice of Michigan Is domi-
nant in national affairs, with Charles
E. Townsend as senator, and must
continue So
His Foes Against Treaties.
"It is significant to note that every
one of the 80. senators who voted
against the treaties resulting from
the Washington conference on dis
armament voted also against Senator
Newberry, and that not one Of the 46
senators who voted with Senator
Townsend on that occasion opposed
the treaties. This is nothing more
than a plain parallel to the present
dastardly attempt TO besmirch Sena-
tor Townsend this early in the cam
paign."
Rep. Patrick OBrien, of Iron River,
was another speaker who gave
his unqualified endorsement to the
Jackson mans candidacy, declaring
that Il It were not for a slight sup
port Of an ex-service man candidate
by the former soldiers Of his district
there would be no opposition at all
to Senator Townsend.
