altv." former Governor Percival P.
Baxter today issued a statement In
which he asserts that not only did
he support the entire Republican
ticket. including governor, in the
September election. but also toured
the State and contributed a substan-
tal sum for campaign uses.
Pointing out that Governor Brew

understanding that if he subscribed

Brewster and his financial manage

The statement dealt with an old
controversy between the two, as to
the finances of the State at the close

governor declares, however, that at
no time did he make it a condition
that he would not support Gov.

SEES REPUBLICAN
DETECTION IN new
YORK STATE ELECTION

syracuse, n. Y, Sept. 27-HD-
Charging the Republican leaders OF
New York state and of the nation
with lack of vision" in dealing
with problems of the past and of the
present, Franklin D. Roosevelt in his
keynote address delivered at the New
York state Democratic convention
tonight, predicted the detection of
hundreds of thousands of normally
Republican voters" at the coming
elections as protest against present
leadership.
"Of course the secret of the matter
SO far as the state is concerned" de-
| clared Mr.. Roosevelt, is that the Re-
publican leadership is hopelessly
weak and vacillating" Nationally
. he asserted, five years of President
Harding and President Coolidge have
given to the nation examples of pub
lie turpitude which we would like to
| forget"
The keynote speech disclosed Wig
| orous Democratic drive, particularly
against L. S. Senator James w
Wadsworth, Jr., the acknowledged
! leader of the state Republican organ
iZation. Almost at the outset of his
address Mr.. Roosevelt opened his at
tack on the senator by declaring:
1T would not be either fair or hon.
est to fix the selfishness of our OPP
ponents' recent policies on the rank
and file of an historic party; their
! leaders are primarily responsible
commencing with their chief. the SEN
ator United States senator from this
state"
Touching specifically on the prohi-
| bition situation, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
THE responsibility of enforcement
of the federal statute since it became
la law has rested on the Republican
administration. and they have had
neither the courage to enforce it nor
the brains to properly amend it. They
have given us the bootlegger in place
of the saloon keeper and the gunmaD
in place of the bar man."
Turning then to national issues.
the speaker continued:
I'm view of the discredited leader
ship of his chosen representative in
New York state and in view. also, of
the repeated defeats of his friends in
recent primaries in other states, it is
not surprising that President Cool
idge gropes for whole boxful of red
herrings to draw across the trail. The
first evidence came from the fishing
camp in the Adirondacks, but | am
credibly informed that red herring
doesn't grow. in fresh water"
Reports of national prosperity
Which emanated from the summer
White House were dealt with at
length by Mr.. Roosevelt after he de-
clared that 1.-THE present national adj
ministration cannot ignore the history
of the present date"
"They cannot ignore" he said. "the
fact that large groups of Republican
politicians may be bought with
money. and that favors may still is
sue with propriety to those bribers
who have the longest purse"

TROUBLE LOOMS
IN G. 0. P. CONVENTION
AT DETROIT TODAY

Detroit, Sept. 27.-lP)-With $50 De-
troit policemen ordered to be in readi-
ness for whatever may happen and the
possibility of their reinforcement by a
detachment of state police, the martial
background was laid tonight for what
may be 4 tempestuous Republican
state convention here tomorrow.
The state of war shifted here to-
night from Lansing. where a recent
court order was issued today which, in
effect, told the convention what dele
gates it should seat from Wayne coun-
ty Detroit). This order would bar
those delegates supporting Fred w.
Green, nominee for governor, and
would seat delegates favorable to Gov
ernor Groesbeck, who was beaten for
denomination as governor by Green at
the September IA primary election.
judge Leland w. Carr at Lansing
held that the legally chosen delegation
was that named by the regular" con-
vention after the supporters had bolt
ed and set up an opposition meeting.
The Republican state central COM
mittee called a meeting for tonight to
determine what course to pursue to-
morrow. 1t was said there was a
strong possibility that neither delega-
tion will be recognized, leaving Wayne
county without a vote in the conven-
, xpn, which then would be virtually an
As-Green affair, Such procedure is
not without precedent in Michigan po-
litical history.
Wayne county ordinarily has 400
delegates to the state convention, with
nearly twice that number from out
state. The out-state delegates are al
most solidly classified as Green sup
porterS.
The state central committee tonight
adopted a resolution which indicates
an attitude of defiance toward the in
junction issued by Judge Carr. The
members went on record as opposed to
seating either Wayne county delega-
ton until the state has been perma-
nently organized and the credentials
committee has acted upon the claims
of the rival factions"
The central committee named a spe-
cial sergeant-at-arms' and doorkeeper
and instructed him to ask for what
ever police protection is deemed neces-
sary AS further precaution the
committee recommended that the De-
troit police department be asked to
provide a guard for every convention
official.
The prospect of more serious clash
than had been anticipated appeared
when reports were spread among the
delegates that the Groesbeck forces
are prepared to use state police il
necessary TO force an entrance to the
convention and seat their delegation.
With the Green forces presumably
protected by Detroit citv notice and
the Groebeck group threatening to
employ state police, serious trouble
is feared.

Ironwood, Mich. Sept. 27.-{R)-En-

below the second level, the point to
which the shaft has been cleared. The
second level is about $40 feet below
the surface. AS the eighth level Is
727 feet down, Maxi has more than
$50 feet of perilous going before him.
The message from the earth spread
rapidly. Tears of JOY coursed down
the cheeks of wives and children who
Hooked to the entrance to get confirma-
ton of the newly aroused hope.
