vention Today-Contest Predicted.
DETROIT. Mich. September 29.-With
the first two places on the state ticket
filed by direct vote of the people at the
recent primary election the republican
state convention met today in Light
Guard Armory to adopt a platform and
nominate candidates for the Offices
below lieutenant governor on the ticket.
One of the features of the opening ses-
sion of the convention was an address by
Gov. Charles E. Hughes of New York.
The possibility that the bitter contest
waged between Gov. F. NJ. Warner and
DR.. J. b. Bradley, state auditor general.
for the nomination for the governor in
the primary might be injected into the
convention in some form reused much
interest and discussion among the dele
gates during the early morning before
the convention met.
A warm contest in the convention over
the nomination for auditor general was
also anticipated between o. B. Fuller OF
Delta county G. A. Palmer Of Manistee
and Representative n. Simpson of Van
Buren, county.
Judge F. L. Brooke Of Wayne county
will have no opposition for the nominat tion
for justice of the supreme court.

laborers than we can well use
Col. Goet halls has made appointments to

Failure Of Democrats to Pub

CHICAGO, September 29.-When Chair
man Hitchcock OF the republican national
committee returns to Chicago this after
noon from New York he will find that
the campaign fund has grown apace since
he departed for New York. Assistant
Treasurer Upham has not had SO much
difficulty in obtaining contributions since
the visit of Senator Winthrop Murray

of large means that their sincerity in de-
string the election Of Taft ought to be
made tangible in the shape of, handsome
donations to the fund. Although the
actual figures are kept profound secret

since Senator Crane departed.
Geel But They're Amused.
The failure Of the democratic national
managers to make public their list OF
contributors yesterday, as they had an
siderable amusement at the republican
tensions of campaign fund publicity are
regarded with much cynicism.
THE threat of the democrats to make
public an alleged list of contributors tl
their campaign fund has no further inter
est in view of the Pulte letters in Michi-
gan.' said Secretary William Hayward
THE exposure of the trick by which any
undesirable contribution could be kept out
