North Newburg Club Resolutions.

Realizing that the adoption Of the
so-called "home rule" amendment to
the state constitution, as proposed and
now approved and advocated by the
liquor interests of this state and by
the brewers and distillers located in
large centers outside the state, is but
an attempt to deceive the people of
Michigan under an alluring name and
false colors to vote for something all
ready repudiated by forty-fve of the
eighty-three counties Of the state, it
is hereby
Resolved, by the North Newburg
Farmers Club, That we urge the vot-
ers Of this county to resent this
cunning scheme of the forces which
are striving to give the cities the right
to force upon the county the open
saloon in defiance to the well-known
temperance sentiment of the rural
communities. We also call upon all
citizens to both work and vote against
this smaller unit plan which would
nullify county local option and ulti-
mately do away with statewide pro-
hibition if adopted. 1t is further
Resolved, That we approve the
amendment to the state constitution
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquor in Michigan and believing
that its adoption on November Z
would result in untold good to our
state and its people. 1t is therefore
Resolved, That the membership of
this Club will do its utmost to obtain
every possible vote against home rule
and for statewide prohibition.

ONLY ONE MAN APPLIES
AT RECRUITING STATION
Officers at 1925 Pennsylvania Ave.
nue. Are Disappointed at the
Days Work.

officers in charge of the National
Guard recruiting station at 1925 Penn
sylvania avenue are greatly disap-
pointed over today's work. Only one
man, William H Lee of 81 Defrees
street northwest, enlisted.
Several hundred more men are need
ed to fill the ranks and bring the guard
up to minimum war strength, but the
officers believe that if army heads
wait for the District guard to come up
to that the boys already in it never
will see service at the border. but will
waste their time and that of the gov
eminent in Camp Ordway.
On old colored woman appeared at
the station this morning. and after de-
claring that she had three sons al
ready at the border, said that the army
could have the younger ones at home
whenever it wanted them. The young
er ones look to be in the 1925 class.
The recruiting officers say there
should be no reason for holding back on
the part of the young men of the city
They will get a course of training that
possibly could get at an expensive
summer camp. The training they would
get would be of great benefit to them
in some possible future emergency, 1t
was added.
They admit. however. that man
with dependents upon him faces DIFF
farent problem, and for that reason
make their appeal to the young men
who are free.

REINSTATEMENT URGED
BY SENATOR O'GORMAN

President Wilson was urged by Senator
O'Gorman today to order the reinstate-
ment of Col. Louis D. Conley and Lieut..
Col John J. Phelan of the 69th New York
Infantry, ordered mustered out by Maj.
Gen. Wood for physical disability.
Senator OGorman told the President
the doctors who examined Col. Conley
differed on his condition and that because
of the doubt he believed the President
would be justified in ordering Col. Con-
ley's reinstatement. The senator said
apparently there was more justification
for the mastering out of Lieut. Col. Phe-
Ian, but he also urged his reinstatement.
Later Senator OGorman expressed con-
fidence that Col. Conley and possibly
Lieut.. Col Phelan would be reinstated.
An investigation of the cases already has
been ordered by Secretary Baker.
