Senator Vandenberg reiterated the claims of Michigan people to the birth- place of Republicanism. “The birthday party belongs in Jackson and nowhere else,” he declared.

The celebra- tion today was featured by a pilgrimage through the business section of the city to the rock pife which marks the site of the initial Republican gathering.
