Worth FightingF For

NHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
of American home we know, healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in a free land. under tree IN
situations? Shall such children develop into the
Lberty-loving citizens that a free America may
be proud of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought valiantIy, and died CALAMITY, to win for
themselves and hand down to their posterlty the
blessings of liberty, justice. self-government and
equal opportunity. This precious heritage. bought
at so great a price, is now threatened.
The question which today confronts America
as a nation, and you as an individual, IS
whether or not a free America
is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unImpalred the legacy OF
freedom of which we are now the CustOdlans, or
shall their country be turned over bodily 70 the
brutal, rapacious, power mad enemy which has
forced us into this war?

Special Despareh TO TIE srN.

DETROIT, Nov "a storm centre OF
the country's Congress elections because
OF the Significance Of the issue between
Its United States Senatorial candidates.
Michigan will vote Tuesday under the
eyes of the nation.
No State Is presenting n parallel to
the struggle between Truman II. New
berry. chosen by the Republicans, and
Henry Ford, commander by Presi-
dent Wilson to offer himself as the
Democratic choice. And because in no
State the Presidents interference has
been so largely outlined. and because no.
where has his choice so thoroughly
proved his determination to establish n
personal following in Congress, the
country's attention is directed this way
Republicans view the approaching
eest with absolute assurance. Newberry.
State central headquarters declares, Is
safely over the line.
Republicans look for Commander
Newberry to win by about 10000
Democrats say their nominee will win
py the same majority.
Wayne county is the fighting ground
Canvasses to-day indicated that Ford
may carry Wayne county by $4,000
TO 10000. although some observers in
sist that Newberry may win the big
gest county after all. Scouts brought
word tonight that the fifteen counties
or the northern peninsula will 60 to
Newberry by margin of between a.
goo to $4,000. just about enough to
offset Wayne county, leaving the plu-
rality in the rest of the State so much
velvet for Newberry.
On the basis of house to house can
visses in typical precincts conservative
Republican forecasters say that with
fiar weather Newberry will win by a
plurality of 10000 to $4,000 unless the
voters fail to come out. They would not
be surprised TO see IL run still even
higher.
The Democrats are depending on such
big industrial centres as Detroit. Grand
Rapids, Flint, Jackson, Kalamazoo and
Saginaw to put over Ford. The Re
publican State central committee said
Tonight that there has been a DETECTION
70 Newberry from these cities since the
Hughes aircraft report.
Republicans are centring their efforts
20 defeat Representative Doremus of
Detroit and Beakes of Ann Arbor. the
only two Democratic members of Con-
gress, and say that one OF the two will
surely meet defeat. Democrats are
waging a hard fight against several Re-
publican Representatives, notably Ford
ney. Mapes and Scott, but with little
hope Of overcoming the normal heavy
Republican majorities.

therefore It's majority for Smith in the

homes during these furlough periods
but the Americans of course, cannot
come home. Every member of a
federated club is asked to give one
dollar to this fund. Mrs. Homer
Miller of Des Moines, is chairman of
this work for Iowa. Mrs. Robertson
will appoint ten members of the
league as a committee to solicit in
the membership for this fund.
In accordance with the decision
made by the Retail Merchants league
at a recent meeting, no effort will be
made by the Civic league this year to
solicit funds for the flower boxes on
Main street. The exegencies Of the
time seem to demand only expendi-
lures for practical things this year
and with the consent Of the retailers,
the small balance on hand in the flow
er box fund is to be used this year in
war garden work. A number of in
dividual merchants have signified
their intention of personally main
tanning the flower box in front of
their stores. And so it may be that
by individual effort Main street may
blossom this year as heretofore.
The condition of the public foun-
tains on Main street was called to
the attention of the league by the
chairman of the fountain committee,
Miss Elizabeth OVllier. This is per-
haps the leagues most discouraging
problem because of vandalism. 1t is
hard to understand spirit which
would prompt the destruction OF a
public fountain. Miss Collier was in
structed to Investigate the condition
of the fountains and report on the
question of repairing them.
