Democrats of Michigan in conference at

conference invited the Republican state
central committee to urge other candi-
dates for the nomination to withdraw
and unite with the Democrats in sup
porting Mr.. Ford for the Office.
The action, unparalleled in Michigan
politics, was taken, the resolution said,
in patriotic effort to eliminate partisan
politics during crisis in the country's
history and to insure united support of
President Wilson and his prosecution Of
the war. The endorsement was made
despite the fact that Mr.. Ford had given
no indication that he would be a candi-
date of any party.
