MICHIGANlZING O. K.
Don NJ. Dickinson Comes Out Boldly
in Defense of the Plan.
IT GETS NEARER THE PEOPLE.
Reciprocity Is Thunder Stolen From De-
mocracy and Humbug.
TOO YOUNG TO BE VICE PRESIDENT

CHICAGO, Dec. 19-Ex-Postmaster Cen
to the Miner law in Michigan, said: ''The
law provides for the election of the Presi-
dental electors from the various Congress
sional districts, six of which are now proba-
bly, Democratic, and of the electors-at-
large by east and west districts, the one
Democratic and the other Republican. This
is what has been termed sMichiganizing.
In word, it is plan to get nearer popular
representation in the Presidential chair than
is afforded by bslloting for electors in
bunch by all the voters of the State. :"
Sand you believe in Michiganizing' the
various States?"
'Most assuredly! You may put me on
record as favoring the PLAN
"Suppose, as may be the case, the Demo-
cratic National Convention should nominate
you for Vice President. Would you favor
cMichiganizing' the Solid South?"
A Case of Principle Versus Policy.
"Well, a principle is a principle, but I
might deem it impolitic, under the con-
ditions you name, to urge Michiganizing'
the South" and Mr.. Dickinson smiled mys-
teriously.
'The local signs are hopeful for the Demo-
Gratis to retain control of Michigan, and for
several reasons The Republicans, in power
for so long, had gerrymandered the State so
that it was misrepresented rather than rep
resented in Congress. The Democrats in
the last Legislature remedied this BY giving
the State a fair reapportionment, though
the Republicans are pleased to call it an
outrageous gerrymander.' Then the fact
that we have been out of power so long has
thinned our ranks of the professional Office
seekers"
"Are you candidate for United States
Senator from Michigan to succeed Francis
F. Stockbridge?"
Not q Candidate for the Senate.
'No; could not afford the office if I de-
sired it and could have it. NV business
would not let me take it, and then, if I
wanted to go to Congress, should prefer to
be member of the House"
"How about Presidential timber for
1922
"Of course, I am Cleveland man. but I
can't say who will be nominated The re-
cent Speaker hip contest had no Presi-
dental significance. When the fight mar
rowed down to Crisp and Mills my sympa-
thies were with Mills, but Crisp is a good
man.
''Blaine has the nomination at the hands
of the Republicans if ne wants it. The Re-
publican reciprocity is nothing but an in
dorsement in part of the Democratic verg-
ing toward free trade. 1 do not believe in
the advocacy of absolute free trade at orce,
but in the gradual adoption of the policy.
Protection is like carbuncle. You can't
cut it out at once, but you must treat it
delicately and cure it BY degrees. Recipro-
city, as Republican idea, is humbug."
"Has any intimation been made to you
that you may be asked to accept the nom-
ination for Vice President on the Demo-
cratic ticket in 1922 -
"None at ALL 1 am too young man,
anyway. The only name have heard men,
toned is Mr.. Palmer's, and his advanced
age seems to be barrier against his NOM
nation"

leisurely down Fifth avenue yesterday his
attention was suddenly directed to an over
coat worn by man which corresponded di-
rectly to that as owned by him. and his be-
ing stolen the night previous, the pattern
and color being of such rarity, that he
came to the conclusion that this coat was
stolen from him, and forthwith had the man
duly arrested. Mr.. Perkins presepted his
testimony to the magistrate by stating that
the coat was made up. to order by tailor in

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Sandow, the strong

tary muscular efforts and their effect upon
the human frame.
The ladies listened with rapt attention
throughout. Their notebooks and sketch

their frank yet admiring criticisms that he
voluntarily illustrated the movements OF
muscles of respiration under varying condi-
tions of slight effort to the most intense ex-

ENGLAND THE ARBITER.
The Opinion of an Eminent German Strate-
gist on the Situation.

BERLIN, Dec. 19.-General Leszeynski,
Count Won Waldersee's predecessor in COM
mand of the Nineteenth Army Corps, and
one of the most talented strategists of the
present time, has just published an
essay on war. Regarding France
he says: 'Her armament may equal
ours, but our organization is stronger, our
discipline better and our personal ambition
higher. Our officers never exceed the lin
its of general welfare. 1t is extremely
doubtful whether the supreme central
command in France is in a better position
to lead the armies as a united whole"
Referring to England he says: England
is likely to decide the result of the next
coufagration. An important question is
whether England will remain neutral"
After calculating the results of England
supporting the Dreibund, he says: sGer-
many cannot reckon upon this alliance.
England hates Russia and fears France.
England might play favorable part, but
will not, especially if the Liberals are In
power. At present, however, l see no
prospect of war;"
