Clifford Pinchot and Walter L. Hous-

LaFoXette Pleased Win
Reception In Ohio

Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette, Of
Wisconsin. spent New Years eve in
Detroit, before starting out on his
speaking tour in Michigan. The sena-
tor arrived at S:25 D. m, and was
taken to the Cadillac hotel, where
he talked TO the newspaper men for
few minutes and then went to his
room.
ut Is rather a cold reception that
you have handed me In Michigan"
said he referring to the blizzard that
was blowing outside.
What kind of reception did you
find In Ohio?" he was asked.
Fine" he answered enthusiastical-
ly. I'm all my % years of campaign
ing ] have never spoken to better
crowds. Our night meetings were
packed and even our MONDAY meet
ings were we'll attended.
II made my first speech in Youngs-
town. Ohio, where I closed the cam
paign for Taft in 1908, and | think
l had a better crowd this time than
had then. Ohio is progressive with
out any question"
The senator was asked about the
report that he is not particular about
party label, which was thought TO in
dicatc that he intended to associate
himself with a new progressive party
| II II should be formed.
What ! actually said" he replied,
was that II knew OF any party
better adapted for serving the coun-
( try ! would go with IL but that | did
not know OF any such party"
He escaped further questioning by
stating that he confined his discus
slons OF public issues to his speeches.
The senator asked to be excused
to take care OF his throat. His voice
was rather husky, but he explained
that It always got about so bad and
then kept that way. Otherwise he
seemed TO be in fine fighting shape,
ready for a hard campaign.
In the four days campaign In Ohio,
Senator LaFollette spoke TO 10000
people. He left Detroit at $3.50, Mon
day morning. for Flint. He will also
speak In Bay City and Saginaw, Mon
day, and will remain In the state un-
| til Wednesday noon.
Accompanying the senator were Col.

and party OF newspaper men who
are making the tour with him. He
was met in Detroit by Walter s.

FIRE
Destroys the Home of E. ]
jenkins at Raymond
ID Heights.

The residence of E. ]. jenkins,
of the Raymond \lIeights, was
destroyed by fire Wednesday even
ing. The fire started in the rear
part of the house and before it was
discovered the whole rear part was
in flames.
A high wind made it impossible
to save the house or any of the fur
niture. Eight houses belonging to
the Jacobs-Prunty Real Estate and
Building Company. were threatened
for a while but the steady down
pour of rain and the heroic work of
few of the residents of these
houses saved them.
Mr.. Jenkins's loss was more than
$1,000, but he had the house partly
insured.
