It's just a ques- tion of when we're going to learn to use it," Zolton Ferency, Democratic gubernatorial can- didate in 1966, told a gathering of Ann Arbor Democrats last night at the Ann Arbor Public Library. The evening was devoted to a presentation and discussion of the Michigan Democratic Party Political Reform Commission. The commission - chaired by William Haber, special assistant to the executive officers of the University-was formed by the state Democratic party to rec- ommend reform in the state po- litical system. The panel, moderated by local Democrat Mark Ross, consisted of Ferency; Walter Schneider, chairman of the Ann Arbor Democratic Party; and Robert Dwyer, the chairman of the sec- ond congressional district Dem- ocratic Party. Wes Vivian, for- mer congressman from this dis- trict was scheduled to appear but was absent due to illness. The report was described by the two local Democratic of- ficials who are both members of the commission. Schneider presented a broad outline of the commission's re- port and dealt with it as a means to "bring the American political system up to date." He outlined the report's con- cern with the right to vote. Point- ing out that individuals in pris- ons or jails are denied sufferageI while incarcerated regardless of whether they had been convict- ed of a crime, he emphasized thej need to extend the franchise to all Americans, including eigh- teen-year-olds. Schneider described the con- cept of a "membership assem- bly" on a local level with "real power" and stressed the impor- tance of the "one man one vote" principle. He went on to de- lineate the system of propor- tional representation proposed THAT DOG ON WHEELS IS COMING in the report and the "long- overdue" demise of the unit rule on a national level. A major portion of the report as Schneider described it is de- voted to a proposal for a presi- dential primary in Michigan. District party chairman Dwy- er described the Democratic party as being the party where the "heat is," "Nobody wvent down to Miami to harass them" (the Republicans), he added, referring to the demonstrations at the Democratic National Con- vention in Chicago in August 1968. After the major recommenda- tions of the report were de- scribed, Ferency-who said he was not a member of the com- mission and not familiar with its report--gave some initial cri- tical reactions. "The Haber Commission ig- nores some fundamental ques- tions," Ferency said. "What is the purpose of a political party? Why a political party?" he asked. "The form follows the func- tion," Ferency added, emphasiz- ~ ~- - - - - - WOW! A three-piece Treasure Chest chicken dinrer, plus french fries, for only 79! Larger take-home orders also.

Ferency attacked the role elected officials play in a po- litical party, To most elected officials, he said, "The primary purpose of the party is to stay together and win elections. If' we buy this line, who needs re- form?" Decrying, the "$moke filled room," Ferency attacked Mich- igan Secretary of State James Hare and his "underlings."
