The republicans of Mich
igan indeed are fortunate in
having such a man as Hon.
John w. Blodgett of Grand
Rapids as national COM
mitteeman. He has now been
a member of the national com
mittee for eight years and was
reelected for four years more.
He is one of the most influential
members on the committee and
is consulted on all matters of
great Importance to the party,
and today his influence and
standing ranks with those who
have spent their entire lives in
national politics. Mr.. Blodgett
does not aspire to Office. He has
large business interests which
occupy his attention and would
not accept Office under any con-
sideration. He takes deep in
terest, however, in both national
and state politics and puts forth
every effort to advance Mich.
gan 5 interests and make her one
of the foremost states Of the
union Never in the history of
national politics has Michigan
occupied so prominent a place as
at the recent national convention
in Chicago, Her headquarters,
provided by Mr.. Blodgett, were
one of the best at the Auditorium
Annex, located as they were on
the parlor floor at the head Of
one of the principal stairways,
looking out on Michigan avenue.
They were nicely decorated with
American flags and potted plants,
while over the door was a large
electric sign, michigan" The
headquarters were thronged
every day and evening and many
favorable comments were heard
from visitors from the otherdele-
cations. Another pleasant feat
ure from a Michigan standpoint is
the fact that not Michigan man
who came to Chicago was de.
prived the privilege Of attending
the great convention. 1t is safe
to say that more Michigan peo-
pie were accommodated at the
convention without tickets than
any other state. One Chicago
man remarked that "the only
way to keep the Michigan peo-
pie out of the convention was to
lock the doors" 1t made no diff
ference whether a man had
ticket or not if he was from
Michigan, a way was found to get
him seat in the convention.
Mr.. Blodgett is modest, un-
assuming gentleman, courteous
at all times and true to his
friends. Michigan should keep
him on the national committee
as long as he will accept the
honor.

MARQUIS EATON gave a fine
dinner to his Michigan friends,
at the Hamilton Club Rooms in
Chicago on Thursday evening of
Convention week. Marquis has
been in Chicago but seven years,
but is president of the Hamilton
Club, and is loved and respected
by all his associates. His Mich.
igan friends rejoice at his sue
cess, and anticipate for him a
brilliant future. The writer is
indebted to Mr.. Eaton for the
honor of being numbered among
the guests at the dinner.
