three or four days will be lucky If ne
gets 5 chance to sleep on the pave
nents within the gates OF the city. All
the democrats IN Michigan that want
once Will be here, and that means the
larger portion OF the voting population
OF the great unwashed. The few demo-
ersts that can't come have arranged To
send peoples party proxies IN the in-
tesest CT economical government. The

last room IN the western end of the
