Washington, D. C., March 2.-(By
A. P.)-The House aircraft investiga-
tion came to another end today with
the flow of charges and contradictions

of its existence continuing with un-

president's instructions in publishing
the article without war department

Local Party Will Go Back to Former
Convention Method of Nomninat-
ing Candidates
At a meeting held last night in the
Supervisor's office in the County
Building, Ann Arbor Democrats for-
mulated a plan of action to put their
ticket in the field for the election of
April 7, despite prevalent opinion
among local political men that they
had been eliminated from the con-
test by the recent action of the city
election board in ordering that no
Democrat ballots be printed for the
primary elections March 4. It was
conceded at the meeting that the
election board was justified in its ac-
tion in not allowing the Democratic
ballots to be printed for the primary,
because no candidates from the Demo-
cratic party had filed nominating pe-
titions for city offices in accordance
with the Michigan state law.
However, it was determined at the
meeting that the action of the board
will not prevent the Democratic tick-
et from being in the field for elec-
tion. The primary election will be
disregarded entirely by the Democrats
and no further attempts will be made
to participate in them. They contend
that they have discovered a flaw in
the process which would have elimi-
nated the Democrats from the race.
The process, based o the Primary
Law of 1921, was declared ineffective
in the attempt to stop the Democrats
-at least no records have been found
by the attorneys at the meeting last F
night which would contradict this
statement. It is provided in the law,
attorneys said, that the Primary Law
of 1921 is not effective in a city with
a population less than 70,000 unless
the law has been adopted by a vote
of the populace in that city. No re-
cords were in the hands of Attorney
Carl A. Lehman of Ann Arbor, lead-
er of the legal staff for the Democrats,
to show that the people of Ann Ar-
bor have ever adopted this law by a
vote of the people. .1
Accordingly they will disregard the
primaries altogether and go back to
the old method of nominating their
candidates for the election ticket byF
calling a convention of delegates from
the various wards to be held March
11 in the court room of the County
building. They have already plar-
ned for the calling of a caucus in!
every ward of the city Monday at 7:30
o'clock in order that the caucus from
each ward may nominate its men for
council, and elect delegates to repre-
sent the ward at the convention.
The convention will then assemble
as planned and nominate the men who
they wish to represent them in the
election. City authorities would then
be forced to print Democratic ballots
for the election, the Democrats agree.
The only possible chance of stopping
the formulated plan which was agree-
ed upon at the meeting last night
would be for the opposition forces to
present records which show that the
voting public of Ann Arbor has sanc-
tioned the Primary Law of 1921 by
a vote of approval. Should the oppo-
sition succeed in doing this, it is said,
the only alternative for the Democrats
would be to attempt to elect their
representatives by the use of stickers.
Dean Mortimer E. Cooley of the Col-
lege of Engineering and Architecture
Dean Mortimer K Cooley, of the en-j
gineering school and a Democratic
candidate for United States senator at;
the last general election, is to bel
temporary chairman of the Democrat-1
ic state convention which will be
held in Ann Arbor Friday, March 6,1
according to Iloratio J. Abbott, chair-!
man of the state central committee.
Judge Joseph M. Donnelly, of the On-
tonagon county probate court, has
been chosen to preside as permanent
chairman. The convention will con-}
vene in the new Masonic temple. I
At the convention candidates will
be put in nomination for the follow-
ing state offices: two justices of the
supreme court, two Regents of the
University, superintendent of public
instruction, one member of the state
board of education, two members of
the state board of agriculture, and a
state highway commissioner.
Thursday night the Democrats will
hold a banquet at the Union, at which
Sen. Royal S. Copeland of New York
will be one of the speakers, his sub-
ject dealing with some phase of na-
tional issues. In preparation for this
affair the committee in charge has re-
served all available rooms at the Un-
ion and at the Allenel and Whitney
hotels. In':ocation at the dinner will
be given by Dr. Paul Voelker, presi-
dent of Olivet college. Other speakers
will be Prof. Preston W. Slosson, of
the history department, who will talk
on "The League of Nations" and Alvah
Cummins, former candidate for gover-
nor.

ment by the business staff yesterday.
The time limit on receiving ordersI
has also been extended until 5 o'clock

which made it impossible to finish the
drive yesterday.

fit those who are unable to pay for

turing the new cover, is being shown

departure from the accepted standard
of annual covers, since it bears an

To Establish Kitchen
Further assistance to Russian stu-
dents in Kiev and its vicinity, where
social and political conditions make
imperative the help of outside inter-
ests in maintaining educational ad-
vantages, has been promised by a
student committee composed of prom-
inent student leaders, on behalf of
the University. The committee at a
meeting yesterday placed the campus
quota at $4,000, the amount that was
raised last year for the same purpose.
The money subscribed last year by
students, faculty members, and towns-
people enabled the European Student
Relief association to establish and
operate a student kitchen at Kiev,
where thousands of students secured
food at prices within their means. As-
sociation workers in Russia report
that most of the Russian students
were in such poor circumstances that
one daily meal at the Michigan kitch-
en was considered a luxury, while
many instructors were forced to take
advantage of the low rates to subsist
on their meagre salaries. The aver-
age meal dispensed in the Michigan
kitchen costs slightly more than five
cents.
To continue the operation of this
kitchen will require at least the same
amount that was contributed last
year, and plans to raise the funds were
laid by a student committee in its
first meeting yesterday. Tyler Ste-
vens, '25E, will act as general head
of the committee and wii direct the
campaign.
Beginning Tuesday, March 10, the
drive to raise the $4,000 will start. By
means of boothslocated at prominent
points on the campus to receive stu-
dent contributions, in addition to
means of affording faculty members
and townspeople tile opportunity to
aid in the undertaking, the committee
expects to raise the needed sum to
carry on ths work.
Outside speakers will also be on
hand to assist in the campaign. Miss
Margaret Quayle, national secretary
of the Student Friendship fund, will
visit Ann Arbor to explain the bene-
fits and need of financial assistance
for Russian students. Miss Quayle,
who has aided in such drives on num-
erous other campuses, also played a
large part in the success of the Uni-
versity campaign last year.
Ray H. Legate, executive secretary
of the Eastern Student Relief associa-
tion, will also speak in behalf of the
fund here. Mr. Legate has a thor-
ough knowledge of student conditions
in European nations, a knowledge
* gained by several years of work in
the midst of foreign students. He
will address a special mass meeting,
the date and place of which will be
announced later.
Donations will be cared for either
by mail, in which case they should
be directed to the Student Friendship
fund, in care of The Daily at the
Press building, or at any of the booths
located on the campus.
Booths, in charg of student volun-
teer workers, will be stationed at the
Engineering arch, in front of the Li-
brary and Angell hall, at Tappan hall,
in the Law building, and other con-
venient points.
In addition to the money raised by
general subscription, a considerable
amount is expected to accrue from a
matinee dance to be given by the
Union, the proceeds of which will go
into the general fund. The time of
this event has not yet been decided
t upon, but will be announced later.
c The drive is under the general aus-
pices of the Student council, men's and
women's honorary societie5, and the
student publications.
