the actions which are called forth by
circumstances.-Fran de Sales.

The coughing spells became more frequent and violent. and the catarrhal inhamma- tion and fever increased to marked de gree. One feature of the Emperor Ill., ness which has given the physicians and members of the royal family anxiety is his growing apathy towards events trans pring around him wei las to his own health He paid very little attention to routine work today and received only few of the officials of the court.

MICHIGAN IS IN
 FIGHT ON TAFT
Delegates of One District h.
 structed for Cannon
TAFT MEN ARE UP IN ARMS
Congressman Fordney Will Lead the Fight for Cannon and Proposes To T ake the Matter Into the
 National Convention.

Saginaw, Mich. October 12.-(Special)- Since the republicans of the Eighth Con ressional district held their convention and elected two delegates to the national republican convention instructed for sition on the part of the Taft followers, the prediction is being freely made that d split in the republican party In the state will follow. Many claim that the action of the Eighth district convention was irregular and that the state conven- ton will undo it's work. The convep- ton brought out the fact that anti-ad- ministration feeling in this section Is rampant and it is made clear that many republicans will refuse to support an ad- ministrat ton candidate should one receive the nomination. Feeling against the can ddacy of Mr. Taft is intense and he will be knifed in this district if nom mated
 The antagonism to tho administration and to Taft in the Eighth district is due to the fact that this is the center of the beet sugar industry and there is q widespread conviction that the admins- tration and it's candidate are unfriendy to this industry. Congressman Fordney, WHO i-b the ISHl TOT cannon before the convention in the Eighth will carry the war into other districts and he claims that the strength of Michigan will be thrown to the Illinois candidate
 The Taft packers. however declare that the action of the district convention was illegal and that like action by other district organizations would also be il- legal. They pin their hopes upon state convention, when, they argue the entire list of delegates will be elected and in- structed for Taft and the action of the district bodies ignored, There Is every indication that the fight will reach the rational convention, in the event that tho districts are turned down by a state convention. In any event, there is blood on the moon in Michigan and it is made clear that Ohio is not to be the only republican state in which an internal war will be fought out by the C. O. F. fol- lowers J.

He will go to the camp if necessary to see his former com mander.
