Estate back into the democratic fold,
the first time since 1892.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 3-Edmund c..
Shields OF Howell, Mich, chairman of
the democratic state central commit
tee Of Michigan, was caller at ma
tional democratic headquarters today
in company with A. B. Garfield of
Claire, Mich, secretary of the com
mittee.
Michigan will be found in the Will
son column when the votes are count
ed in November" said Mr. Shields.
For the first time in years the demo-
cratic party has a full national state
and local ticket in the field in eve y
county in the state. There are some
counties in Michigan in which until
this year there have not been enough
democrats to form a fair-sized county
committee. But this year things are
changing, and the change is not due
to the work of the state central com
mittee alone, but in a response to local
sentiment.
Michigan is peculiarly divided both
geographically and in the public opin-
ion. The farm lands of the lower
peninsula and the southern half of
| the upper peninsula are the best in
the world and our farmers are the
most progressive and prosperous in
the world. They have been for the
most part devoted to the republican
party in years gone by, but, you know,
Michigan is close up to Canada and
the reciprocity policy of the Taft ad-
ministration was a condition and noI
theory to them.
In the upper peninsula the chief
industry is mining and the citizens OF
THAT region have been hopelessly cor
poration-ridden. During the past year
or two there has been a remarkable
change iIr public opinion and / arn
sure that the large Taft majority of
1908 will be very hopelessly split this
year
"The democratic party stands in a
fine position in this fight We are
united while our opponents are di
vided. We are gaining from both OF
the republican factions and losing to
neither. We have but to hold the vote
of 1908 and 1910 to win b. hand
some plurality. We have ample evi
dence to prove to anyone's satisfac
tion that so far from losing any oi
our 1910 strength, we have actually
gained thousands Of votes

depended upon special diBpensation

Portable home and to look carefully after
the boys and see that their concerns
never became annoyance to their father,
SO she lived In Utica all through the

loneliness OF being separated from her

terably opposed to changing schools, for
the boys attended the local Institutes Of

Since the world began $500 90 has never
been spent on an arch except In the case
OF the Arch Of Triumph In Paris. Since
the world began there never has been
such high development OF the possibilitie
OF building as now. The result seems in
evitable that this arch should become
one OF the wonder works OF the world.
The plan is to build II in glittering white
marble. Its span will rise hundreds Of
feet above the roadway that passes be
meath II. Its feet will rest other hundreds
Of feet apart. Above its arch the struc-
ture will probably be squared, and the
surface thus offered will be ornamented
with classic pillars and appropriate
carved figures.
The spirit OF the ornamentation OF this
arch will be different from any that have
gone before. The arch has almost In
variably been used as a monumental

that the arch should become "a part of

man can conceive In the way Of n road

ton is to place the Titanic memorial half
way between the Grant memorial and the

OF road the four greatest memorials that
the nation has yet erected and form a
magnificent basis for the grouping OF

intended shall border this proposed road
