Also Copeland and His Brains Now Attracting Attention

IN CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT

County Committee Met Today

-Convention Meets May 19-

Green Takes Butterfield's Place as Chairman

The republican county convention will be held at the court house here on Monday, May 19, to elect delegates to the district convention which is set for May 28, at Adrian.

This was decided on at the meeting of the county committee which was held in the office of Attorney John Lawrence Saturday.

A. F. Freeman, of the tax commission, was elected temporary chairman. The resignation of O. E. Butterfield, former chairman of the committee was received, Mr. Butterfield explaining that his duties in Detroit, as attorney for the Michigan Central railroad, would prevent him from further carrying out the duties of the office. Fred Green was elected to the office made vacant by Mr. Butterfield. Resolutions were passed thanking Mr. Butterfield for his services to the party.

That Mayor Copeland does not propose to allow any grass to grow under his feet since his candidacy for the congressional nomination, was evident today when it was learned that he had already begun his campaign with a vim and vigor which would do credit to much older politicians. The mayor chose Ypsilanti as the spot from which to fire the first gun of his campaign. Several of his friends who saw him there today, say that he was working at a gait that would impress one with the idea that if he fell in the race it would be with his harness on.

Talking about the mayor's candidacy, a prominent court official said this afternoon that Copeland's brains and Bacon's bacon were now the most interesting features of the campaign.
