Row in Michigan.

In Michigan the dominant party is
ems to elect a democratic governor.
AS in Wisconsin, there is a protest
against the despotism of the old ma
chine and a Widespread demand for a
primary election system. Warner the
republican candidate for governor, is
secretary of state and a member in full
standing of the machine. By skilful
and assiduous wirepulling he made
himself the nominee and a lot of peo-
pie do not like it. The revolt against
the old crowd and it's methods appears
to be quite formidable. Senator Bur-
rows tells me that while Roosevelt will
carry the state by 100000 or over
Warner must be satisfied with half
as much. But other republicans, per-

witnesses than the senior senator, say
Warner is in serious danger, while the
democrats claim their candidate. Fer
