Truman H. Newberry, of Detroit and

Truman H. Newberry, of Detroit and Watch Hill, secretary of the navy under the Roosevelt administration, is now on a visit in Washington where he expressed very clearly the feeling of many of the colonel's friends have with regard to the political situation. MT. Newberry said he had lost none of his personal affection for MT. Rose welt, but that he parted company with him politically at Chicago in 1912.
 T am a republican first, but I did not expect MT. Roosevelt to be a can didate in 1912. When he elected to run on another than the republican ticket had to support the republican standard. I do not know what MT. Roosevelt contemplates in the future. The republicans certainly occupy a position of great vantage, and it would seem that it would be easy to defeat the democrats next year. But the republicans need both a new lead CT and a great issue. I have no doubt the next few months will develop both, and that we shall triumph in the cleo tions of 1916."

Another plan is that each county have a separate agent for the work. The sum of $1,000 would be required for the work and as there is no county tax, the simplest way to provide for the work would be a town tax. The state college has ascertain ed that to raise $1,000 as the part of the contributions from Washington and Kent counties by towns, it would be as follows. apportioned nthe basis of each towns share of taxable pro- perty.
