Ex-Bankers Join
Politicians To
Fight Couzens

Chief interest in Michigan's pri-
mary election next Tuesday cen
ters naturally on the choice of a
Republican candidate for the U. s.
Senate. The senatorship is now
held by James Couzens, former as
sociate of Henry Ford.
At Washington for II years, Sen
ator Couzens has paid little atten-
ton to party leaders who have
selfishly sought to influence him
On New Deal measures, proposed
by the Democratic administration
Senator Couzens judged each mea-
sure on its merits and voted ac-
cordingly, drawing absolutely no
party line whatever.
Professional politicians, always
believers in blind party regulari-
ty, have never liked Senator Cou-
zens. They have been against him
In prior campaigns. They are ac-
lively fighting him now.
In this campaign, Senator Cou-
zens is also opposed by a group OF
Detroit ex-bankers and capitalists.
Antipathy of this group dates back
to the collapse of their banks in
1885. They blame Senator Cou-
zens for the method by which these
banks were liduidated by the U. 8.
Government That method produc-
ed payment in full to more than
100000 depositors in the old First
National and Guardian banks. The
workers got their savings back in
tact. But the bankers were not so
lucky. They lost their bank stock.
They have been bitter against SEN
ator Couzens ever since.

The Debated Bear

u iIEF as the deer hunting season Is,
= hundreds of city dwelers invade
the Wisconsin woods every fall
Two of them established a camp con-
sistlns OF cabin. supply of canned food
and condiments. and nearby spring
for drinking purposes.
One day. and this is voucheI for by
August c. Hennlg. American Legion
leader In Illinois, the hunters returned
to camp and found they had left the
door of@the cabin open.
Bear tracks were sprinkleI literally
outside and within the cabin signs OF
an invasion were unmistakable. Canned
goods weren't disturbed but six
pound bag of dried apples and two
pound sack of salt were missing.
The huntsmen sped Immediately to
the spring and found the bear had
knelt there for a long draft to wash
down his salty luncheon.
Following the trail again. the nunt
ers Travelled only 200 yards when they
discovered Mr. Bruin, growing help
essy and swollen to immoderate pro-
portions. The long drink had made
the dried apples swell and the bears
expanding stomach had grown larger
and larger until finally his feet no
longer touched the ground.
The four-cornered balloon was at
once dispatched by the nimrods. Be

who was unsteady inclined, DEBATED
the bear by inserting a reed instrument
In Its side and practlcing the finger
movement for such tunes as "Over the
Waves" as the boat subsidized.
When the bear was completely de-
fiated the hunter had become recog-
nlzed as an accomplished musician.
