Twenty Delegates Of Twenty.

Popularity OF Roosevelt and Conf

Too strong.
THOSE WHO ARE BEHIND HIM

Detroit. Feb. michigan is for
Taft. or the twenty-e eight delegates
from this state to the national con-
vention at beast twenty will be for the
secretary of war. The remaining
. eight may be for him also-indeed,
the probabilities are that they will be.
but until the situation develops a little
further they cannot be regarded a.
certain The four delegates at large
and most of the district delegates will
be instructed for Taft. An effort is
making to secure a unanimous dele
cation, and unless something goes
wrong it is probable the effort will
succeed.
No one now denies that Michigan
is Taft state. There is no serious
opposition TO the Taft program. No
open work is being done for other
candidates. The people and the poll
ticians regard the outcome as already
determined-that the vote of the
state is for Taft. The only question
is whether two or three districts are
to stand out against the general will
and wish of the Republicans OF the
commonwealth.
Although some exceedingly clever
politics in behalf of Taft marks the
recent history of events here, the
salient. the compelling fact is the
trend of public opinion. 1t is con-
coded by every one. even by men who
favor other candidates, that great
majority OF the Republicans favor
Taft. The strength of this sentiment
among the masses, as in Ohio, and
many other states, has made il easy
for those operating practically and
looking after affairs to secure results.
These men are so well satisaed with
what has been done that they are now

work is done. All they need do In
the future is to watch two or three
districts where the result may still be
Regarded as in doubt.
When We come to look closer into
the character of this public opinion
and the genesis of it. we find some
very interesting and suggestive facts.
II the case of Michigan is typical OF
public opinion generally in the west,
We here get quite accurate and in
sNuctive cue to the current trend of
thought among the American people
on national affairs.
The development of the Taft move
ment in Michigan may be ascribed to
two distinct phases of public senti-
ment:
The first is a belief among bust
ness and professional men that Judge
Taft would make strong and steady
president They admire his character
and his services. Many of them. espe-
cially the lawyers-and lawyers here
as everywhere are leaders in politics
have met him and formed their
estimate of him at close range.
Taft Men.
These are the men who have taken
hold and given of their time and
energy to the cause They are for
the most part men who believe in the
Roosevelt policies. broadly speaking.
But they look upon the president
himself with varying degrees of APP
prevail They are discriminative in
their applause, and their praise Is
often accompanied BY qualifying ad-
ditlons. Some would be glad to have
Roosevelt himself the candidate again
Others are bitterly opposed to any
such proposal. Between them. and
embracing perhaps the majority of
this class. are those who want the
Roosevelt work carried on. but want
II carried on in more quiet way
Out of scores of similar expressions
in this line that have reached my ears
the following may be settled " typi-
cal:

veltism. l believe we should go on
trying to make corporations obey the
law, trying to punish rascality, trying
to make railroading and finance more
honest. trying TO stop Wall street
from tying up the country's money in
But / believe this work can be carried
on successfully without so much beat
