"Wait until we learn from Washington how many men we are expected to furniöh. The state can't afford to enlist a lot of men and pay ;hem unless they are needed. Neituer bave you any right to excite the people and take them away from their work. I tiiink a man that does that ought to be put in jail. Just hold your horses until we learn from Washngton what is expected of Michigan.''
