New York. Feb. 26.-S. NJ. Craiger, who
wrote recently to assure Gov. Johnson, OF
Minnesota, that conservative Democrats
in the East favored his nomination for
the presidency. has received a reply in
which the governor Acknowledges his
kind favor and says:
7 note what you say as 20 the senu-
ment In the East and South and also the
expressions made at the Lincoln Day din
ner Of the National Democratic Club. I
also note your statement as 10 the re-
marks OF ex-Gov. Thomas. Of Colorado.
From conversation had with Gov
Thomas while I agree with you that he
is quite radical in his tendencies, he is
OF the belief that one not quite so radi-
cal as he himself should be the standard
bearer in the 1905 campaign.
Il appreciate your expressions Of con-
ldence and esteem and whether or not I
shall ever be a candidate for the high
office to which you refer ! shall treasure
always such declarations OF men like

Detroit. Mich. Feb. 2s.-No less than
seven Of Michigan's twelve Congressman

chance to win their districts, but be-
cause there are other Republican patriots

In the Seventh; Fordney. in the Eighth
Loud. in the Tenth, and Darragh. in the

Congress. Two Of the fights are OF more
than local interest Representative Loud ;
connection with the alleged submarine
boat scandal has made him a reputation
Fordney has gained fame as a hOt-headed
opponent OF Secretary Taft and the ad-
ministratlon candidates supporters in his
district are after his scalp as a matter
Of revenge.
Darragh has declared himself out. and
Diekema is not a favorite with his con-
stituents because Grand Rapids casts
four-fifths of the vote. and Diekema IS
