STATE CONVENTION
HARMONIOUS.
Republicans Met in Detroit Tuesday
and Name State Ticket.-Luther L.
Wright, Of Ironwood, is the
Nominee for Superinten-
dent Of Public In
struct ton.

Detroit, Mich, July 3l-Except-
ing Slight brush in the resolution
committee over c ongre m a n
William Alden Smiths resolution
pledging the party to the direct
nomination of United States sena-
tors, the republican state conven-
tion was featureless and partook
more of the nature Of a ratification
meeting than a convention. A brief
contest in the resolution committee
resulted in the adoption of COM
promise resolution which recon-
mends to the Michigan delegates to
the Iowa convention in September
that they Direct their efforts to
.he end that the people of the United
States so amend the constitution of
the United States that the election
OF the senator's be by direct vote OF
the people.
BUSINESS QUIETLY TRANSACTED.
The platform which was adopted d
thoroughly endorses President
Roosevelt's administration, ex-
presses appreciation of the work of
the Michigan congressional delega-
tion, affirms the belief in the repub-
lican tariff policy, congratulates the
state upon its prosperity and
endorses Governor Warner, the
other state officials and the last
legislature. The nomination of the
governor and lieut-governor at the
primaries last June seemed to have
taken from the convention much Of
its usual interest, and the business
was so expeditiously transacted that
the delegates adjourned at $3.50 pm.

welt says: I'VE unreservedly and
cordially endorse the patriotic,
courageous administration Of Presi-

ideals of the republican party; for

efficient railroad legislation and for

terest of the people shall be first

promptings and the organized pro-
tests Of greed and power.
UPHOLD PRovECTIvE TARIFF.
After congratulating the state
and country upon the present pros
perity, the platform says:
"These conditions illustrate again
as they have so happily in other
! periods of American history, the
practical value of republican laws,
applied by republican administration.
We eniphatically affirm our contin-
ued belief in the wisdom of the re-
publican protective tariff policy.
Whatever changes in the tariff
schedules may become necessary
should be so made as to preserve the
republican principle of protection,
and to aid the further advancement
of American industry and achieve
ment.
