For Congress on Democratic Ticket This Fall--An Interview With Committeeman McInerney

The Wayne county democratic view of the congressional situation in this district, evidently inspired by John McInerney, the Wayne member of the congressional committee is given in the Detroit Free Press as follows:

While that portion of Wayne county, which is in the second district, is normally republican by a large majority, this year the democrats say there will be a change. Heretofore every Republican who has received the election has done so through the republican votes of Wayne county, they say, and they figure that they certainly ought to be entitled to some consideration at the hands of the party. They are arguing that the failure of the republican party to nominate Mark Bacon was a throw-down for Wayne county, and the action of Townsend in selecting his member of the congressional committee from Northville was another. This has disgruntled many who voted the republican ticket before, and many threats are being made to the effect that this year the ticket will be bolted.

In discussing the matter yesterday Secretary McInerney stated that in the opinion of many people in Wyandotte the time is now ripe for the election of a democratic congressman from the second district.

"Without doubt there will be many republicans voting our ticket this fall," said Mr. McInerney, "and if a Wayne county man receives the nomination I am sure Townsend will be defeated. In our portion of the district he is exceedingly unpopular, and it seems good sense to say that with the proper man the democrats could swing enough votes in Wayne county alone to carry the day. I am sure that Wyandotte will contribute 500 votes to the cause."
