Otherwise their equipment was
standard.

Bitter Struggle for
Senate Seat.

BU mica Press
DETROIT, Sept. 8.-Michigans
hectic Republican primary came to
a close today with politicians MAX
ing their final pleas to voters over
the radio, at ward meetings and
through newspapers.
In Detroit, however, the state
races were overshadowed by the
mayoralty fight brought about
through the recall in July of Mayor
Charles Bowles.
1t is expected that in Detroit,
more than $4,000 will go to the
polls Tuesday impelled principally
through the bitter fight four of the
five mayoralty candidates have
waged.
Outstate, however, the contest for
Governor holds the chief interest.
Fred w. Green, finishing his second
term, is not a candidate for re-
election, but he has injected himself
INTO the fight through his active sup
port of WILDER M. Brucker. attorney
general.
Alexander w. Groesbeck, three
times Governor, and Judge J. JEFF
fries, Detroit, are the other two
candidates.
Attacks Green's Policies
Groesbeck, old enemy Of Green,
drew the Governor into active sup
port of Brucker when he began at
lacking Green's administration
charging Brucker would continue its
policies if elected. Nomination on
the Republican ticket virtually is
tantamount to election in Michigan.
Democratic candidates are unop-
posed for nomination.
In the senatorial race, Senator
Couzens is opposed by Chase Os-
born, Saulte ste. Marie. former
Governor. Osborn has made Spir-
tied fight, challenging Couzens'
"Republlcanism" and declaring him
the richest man in the senate and
the poorest senator"
In the congressional races several
incumbents are unopposed, but in
the Sixth district, which is part of
Detroit, a hot wet and dry battle is
on.
Prohibition Major Issue
Grant M. Hudson, incumbent and
former superintendent of the Mich
igan Anti-Saloon League has for his
foremost opponent, Seymour Per-
son, an active wet.
Prohibition also is a major issue
in the Seventh district, where Louis
Champion, incumbent and dry, is
opposed by Jesse P. Wolcott.
In the city election, four OF the
FIVE mayoralty candidates are con-
ceded a chance to win. Only Phillip
Raymond, Socialist, is given Slight
consideration.
The other four candidates are;
Mayor Bowles, seeking vindication
after being recalled by a majority
of $1,000; George Engel, veteran
city employee, who has the backing
of the Detroit News and the Free
Press; Judge Frank Murphy, who
resigned from the recorders court
bench to make the race, and John
Smith, former mayor. Murphy is
backed by the Detroit Times.

British numerical superiority in the

subjects of debate to be considered

Doughty Warrior Continues
Fight for Elimination of
Interest on Debt.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

How Indiana might aid it's un-
employed in cities, as well as bring
about drought relief, without going
into debt, was pointed out by Cen
eral Jacob S. Coxey, famed leader
of Coxey'S army of the unemployed,
during a visit to Indianapolis today
The plan advocated would
necessitate passage of the bill to
nationalize credit which Coxey eight
times has had introduced into con-
greSS.
1t is the same idea which he adj
vocated to solve unemployment
problems when he led his army of
5000 to Washington back in 1894.
At the age of rs, General Coxey
still is touring the country, adj
vocating his idea.
Predicts Passage or Violence
1T eventually will be adopted or
there will be civil war in this coun-
try he predicted today. THE peo-
pie are not going to stand idly by
and see their homes and farms con-
f1scated by taxation to meet interest
payments governmental debts"
Briefly Coxey plan is to have
local and state governments issue
bonds for all public improvements
for deposit with the federal gov
eminent in return for legal tender.
A / per cent discount would be
made to repay the federal govern
ment for the cost of printing the
money.
The bonds would cover a twenty
f1ve-year period and be non-inter-
est bearing. They could be issued
in periods of emergency, like the
present one, and thus eliminate I'M
employment, Coxey explained.
1--WE are paying interest on state,
city, county and school bonds at
the rate of $35,000,000 a week, .
Coxey declared. 1--WE have a $15,-
O00,O00,000 debt through these me-
diums. 1t is taking an interest toll
of $750,000,0OO annually, which could
be paid to labor.
BILLIONS Paid In Interest
"Since we marched in 1894 on
Washington, $4,000 100000 in inter-
est has been paid by our govern
ment. Had my plan been adopted
at that time, this payment would
have been made instead to labor
and profitable production"
Coxey said Henry Ford was able
to raise wages during the depression
and decrease the cost of his cars
because he has no interest payments
to meet. The government in SINH
lar position could eliminate the de-
preston overnight, he claims.
Ford told me that my plan will
not be adopted because it's too hon
est" he declared. ut would mean
real government of the people, by
the people and for the people in
stead of the present government of
the banks, by the banks and for the
bankers"
