WASHINGTON - Move over, Thomas Starr King and Zachariah Chandler. It's time to make way in the Capitol for two better known sons of California and Michigan: Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford.
Statues of these relatively obscure men -- a preacher credited with saving California from becoming a separate republic during the Civil War and a Michigan senator who helped found the Republican Party -- will soon be removed from their sculpted perches inside the Capitol building.
