I noticed the illusion[sic] to "Gentle Annie" in the "Press" but did not know what it meant. Am glad you explained. Brackett is a "chump." They are trying to get Prohibition in Mich. + will vote on it in a special election this spring but don't think they will carry it. The "Press" seems to be doing the "Age" up in great shape. Notice in the Press of 1st, under "News of the Creek" that the Michigan Club of Detroit has soured on [James G.] Blaine because he was not here to the Banquet on Febr 22nd - While everyone was sorry Mr. Blaine could not be here, he gave couple reasons for not coming - the Mich. Club is one of the most, if not the most powerful Republican organization, outside of the Lincoln Club in Chicago, in the West it is solid for Blaine - I would like to see Blaine + [Russell Alexander] Alger (gov. RA) (of Detroit) nominated. Please tell Emery that the Club has not soured on Blaine. The weather is very disagreeable, has been raining all day + yesterday it snowed - Write first chance am quite busy at present. With regards to all friends. Your affec. son, Ralph Emery
