Michigan, was at the New Denison yesterday,
in good health and spirits. and very much pleased
with the Republican outlook in Michigan as well
as In this State. we have not had as spirited
q canvass in Michigan he said. las you are
having here, but we have not been idle and the
r republican movement there will be open and
aggressive from this time forward. We are hav-
ing no trouble with the Prohibition third party,
or labor element. and You can set Michigan down
as good for 10, 600 majority for the Republican
national ticket. As to the general result, l am
counting q good deal on the prominence of the
tariff issue and the fact that we have a million
new voters at this presidential election. The
question of protection or no protection to Amer
lean industries is practically involved In this
election, and l have no fear Of the result when
