Text of Club Letter.
The letter to President Coolidge
follows:
Dear Mr.. President:
The directors of the Detroit Union
League Club have observed with
much regret the apparent spirit of
opposition which the senior Senator
from Michigan, the Hon James Couzens.
has repeatedly manifested toward
recommendations to the Congress
which have come directly from the
President OF the United States.
This tendency was undeniably ap-
parent in his recent opposition to the
appointment of the Hon. Charles
Beecher Warren to the Office of At
torney General.
While not questioning the sincerity
OF the Senator. and recognizing that
he was within his constitutional
rights in opposing confirmation, the Y
feel that entirely without cause he
aided not only in depriving the Nation
of the services of a man eminently
qualified to serve as Attorney General.
but denied to the great common
wealth of Michigan a coveted honor
Sent Senator Many Letters.
Numerous messages Of confidence
from representative citizens, regar rd :
less of political affiliation, were for
warded to the Senator from this State
However, in the absence of a direct
referendum on the particular issue,
the Senator questioned the right of
petition guaranteed to the citizens of
the United States under the Constitu-
tion. Instead. he assumed to rely on
his own arbitrary Judgment.
Had it not been for the widespread d
knowledge of Mr.. Warren's excep-
tional ability the Senator might have
done him an unwarranted and per-
manent harm.
after mature consideration, the di :
rectors of this club feel that they
would be recreant to the trust re-
posed in them if they did not at
this time express an apology to the
President for the attitude of Senator
Couzens. In so doing they are con-
fident in their belief that IN this in
stance they correctly represent the
sentiment of the large majority of
the citizens throughout the State.
Recall CooIidge's Big Vote.
Since the earliest experience of
mankind it has been found of the
