Saliday, GOP Rep.,
Suggests 'Pep-Up'
in Party Set-Up
"Don't hold the line, move the
line forward!" said George Saliday, Republican state representative from the Ann Arbor District.
Mr.. Saliday was the guest
speaker at a recent Young Republicans' meeting here. Saliday has
been mentioned as a possible gubernatorial candidate for the Republican party.
Representative Saliday said
the  key   problem  facing   any
state legislature is to keep pace
with the growth of the state and
ihe "holding  the line" in regards io taxes and expenditures
for state programs.
Mr. Saliday brought out three
points that he thought weakened
the Republicans at the polls last
fall.
"The party has not established
a strong enough program to present to the people," he stated. He
added that more positive action
on forming such a program would
improve the party's position in
Michigan.
The second point he made was
a sharp criticism of the failure of
past candidates to carry on a
doorbell-ringing type of campaign.
"We must contact the voters
where they are, not where we ,
think they are." Saliday said.
He concluded by showing the
need for a pep-up of party machinery. To do this he suggested
recruiting more  volunteers  to
work on an increased number of
local committees.
