CONTROL CURBED

Because Barnard was set back
on his heels at the county conven-
ton of 1910, he had no part in
naming the Detroit members Of
the state central committee.
AS a result. he had no defend
ers when the antlbosS resolution
was proposed.
The theory behind tho action is
that Barnard, while ne usually
can control the county meeting,
may not be able TO govern six
separate district conventions be-
ing held concurrently.
Young Republicans have tried
for six years 10 end Wayne County
political conventions by statute.
Their bill twice was defeated but
was passed a year ago Gov Muir
ray D. Van Wagner vetoed IT on
the grounds that conventions
should be governed by state cen.
