Clearing Up Atmosphere

Copeland's Withdrawal From the Race

AS URE HARMONY

Now it remains for Wedemeyers Friends to See That the Delegation is at Heart a Unit

The republican political atmosphere in Washtenaw was cleared up Tuesday by the withdrawal of Dr. Copeland from the race. At the time of the withdrawal the delegations elected stood 106 for Wedemeyer to 14 for Copeland, with 95 delegates yet to be elected. Bridgewater's caucus Tuesday resulted in a divided delegation. The overwhelming sentiment in favor of Mr. Wedemeyer's candidacy should be an incentive to his friends to go into the convention with the sole object of nominating him, to send a delegation that should be for Wedemeyer first, last and all the time. 

That with the terrific fight put up the mayor's forces were enable to get only 14 delegates out of 120 elected indicates that Washtenaw is and was a unit for Wedemeyer.
