There are two Michigan organizations

State Association,

gan Republican AS
Organizations. ISOLATION, while the
other is the Michigan Social Club. The
reason of the second organization being
formed was due to a change of policy In
the first body. In the beginning the
Michigan Association was republican in
affiliation, but during President Cleve-
lands administration the political work
was dropped and the organization became
purely social in character. Then the late
Gen. o. S. Wilcox. at that time governor
of the Soldiers Home. became president.
In until the time of his presidency 1T had
been the custom for members having
families to bring them to the banquets
and dances given by the ASSOCIATION
Cen Wilcox was opposed to this. anu
under his regime the custom graduaiiy
ceased until the meetings were practi-
cally stag affairs. Consequently. ABOUT
twelve years ago, some of the elder mem
hers decided to organize an association
where the wives and families could again
attend. This was done, with the result
that the Michigan Social Club came into
existence The officers OF this later OF

II Is Quite Probable That The Entire
Michigan National Guard Will
Camp In This State During
The Coming Summer
Michigan state Encampment.

1t is quite probable that the entire
Michigan National Guard will camp
in this state this summer, instead OF
one regiment going to Sparta, Wis.
to take part in the government ma
neuvers as was at first proposed. Gen.
Abbey believes that II the Michigan
troops camp in their home state and
the government sends regular troops
to drill with them maneuver camp
can be established that will do the
Michigan troops as much good, and
be considerable of a saving to the
state This will not be done unless
the war department gives Michigan
its share to camp money amounting
to $4,000. This matter is now before
the officials OF the war department.
If maneuver camp Is established in
Michigan this summer, ii will be at
either Port Huron or Ludington Gen
Abbey and the members of the state
military board will visit Port Huron
In about two weeks and inspect a
camp site, other than the one used
by the troops last summer. Gen. Alb
hey and the state military board have
saved the state about $4,000 in the
replacing of the camp equipment de-
stroyed by hre when the state store
house at Port Huron was burned
about three months ago. Gen. Abbey
took the matter up with the war de-
partment. The government has al
most entirely replaced the burned
equipment with new equipment at
practically no expense to the state.

In. this announcement Orozco de-

establishment OF law and order which
the Madero government has failed to
achieve. Stress is laid on the charge
that at present the lives and property

In Jeopardy; that through acts OF vic.

termination on the part OF the United
