 The United States Supreme Court has decided that the Michigan ger rymander is valid. This will give some of the Michigan electors to Cleveland.
 Judge Cooley's son has written a letter denying that his father is supporting Cleveland or that he has any intention of doing so. The young man says he has this in writ ing from his father.
