Strong Sentiment for Rooserelt-
Friendly to Taft and Fairbanks.

Lansing. Mich, April III believe the over
whelming sentiment of the people Of the state
is for Roosevelt said Lieutenant Governor Kel-
ley to-day. and believe If Roosevelt would not
run that sentiment would be transferred TO Taft
Immediately
Michigan might have been nearly solid for
President Roosevelt, but present indications do
not promise a like solidarity for Secretary Taft,
politicians here say. The reason is the eXpec-
tation that Speaker Cannon will be with Mr..
Fairbanks. This will have the effect of a more
or less solid union of Michigan Congressmen for
what the Speaker wants. Senator Burrows is
expected 10 sympathize with the Vice-President.
Senator Smith is friendly 10 both Fairbanks and
Cannon.
