Campaign Launched
for Eastern Standard
Time
MORE DAYLIGHT"
is THE SLOGAN
Huge Saving in Light
ing Bills One Ad-
vantage Urged

Another campaign for the adoption
OF eastern standard time In Detroit
the third In six years. has just been
launched by the More Daylight club,
OF which DR.. George l.. Renaud is
tho president and founder.
DIR. Renaud Is hopeful that the
present campaign will be successful
for there are many evidences, he
says. that the moro daylight" idea
has taken firm root here. Already
he has received pledges OF enthusias
tic support. His plan contemplates
a mammoth petition. to the common
council. bearing tho signatures OF
leading citizens in all branches OF
city life and backed up by the for
NAL Endorsements OF various organ.
izations.
liz short. he plans 10 present such
strong cnso 10 the council that the
city dads will have no alternate but
10 vote for the change from central
TO eastern standard. which would
mean showing the clocks ahead one
hour. Dr. Renaud estimates that the
saving IN electric light bills alone
would he between 100000 and $780,.

The Y NJ. c. A. has already adopt.
ed resolutions urging the change.
largely on the theory that II would
tend TO better morals among the
young people. The health board also
has indorsed eastern standard. also
the Detroit Dental society. The mat.
ter will be submitted shortly 10 the
membership OF the Detroit Board OF
Commerce and the Detroit Athletic
club by referendum and the Detroit
Real Estate Board will also consider
Il. The movement has the personal
Endorsement OF Police Commissioner
John Gillespie.
Or. Remand Is preparing circulars
To be seat out by the thousands: the
city will be literally deluged with
them, and he expects to gain many
converts In this way.
Detroit was really the birth place
OF the more daylight movement In
the west. As direct result OF DIR.
Renaud's previous campaigns here,
Cleyeland adopted eastern standard
time last May after two previous at
tempts.
In a letter to DR.. Renaud, Mayor
Baker, OF Cley Gland. says:
I'VE made the change without the
slightest difficulty. II has met with
universal favor. and I think nobody
In Cleveland would now be willing
to change back To central started
time"
DR.. Renaud Is reliably informed
that the lighting receipts OF the
Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co.
fell on 100000 In the six months fol
lowing the change in time.
When eastern standard was first
submitted in Detroit six years ago
u did not win a single precinct. Two
years later II won In eight out OF the
eighteen wards. In the four years
since then sentiment in favor OF
eastern standard has been growing
rapidly. and DR.. Renaud believes that
the time is now ripe TO submit Il
again.
II Is not absolutely necessary 10
submit the question to the people. II
Is entirely up to the common council
aud II I; Is satisfied that the ma
jority OF the people are favorable ia
eastern standard 1t can scarcely re
fuse to vote fayorably on the prop
