PARIS, June 5,-The press OF all

disapproves of Dreyfus who calls
himself soldier, gracing the triumph

Ernest Judet in the Nationalist
Eclair writes in similar vein. He
regrets "the culpable diversion which
saved the official manifestation from
ridicule and odium in which it was

most uncouth Caesar but Gregori
is far from being Brutus."
Government and Socialist organs
stiamatize the attempt which they at

The Rappel says that GregorIs re-

submit to President Fallieres for sig

instructed for Taft Contests from
Florida, Georgia. and Kentucky will
be heard tomorrow, the total number

the effort to prevent Frank H. Hitch
cock, Taft's manager; Arthur F.
Stratter, former assistant secretary

of Washington, both assistants to
Hitchcock, from sitting in judgment
on the contests. These men held
proxies of the members OF the ma
tional committee from New Mexico,

lively. {
Their entrance into the executive
session provoked Joseph B. Keating,

trict of Columbia, manager for Fair
banks and Representative James
Francis Burke OF Pennsylvania who
acts for Knox to make vehement
protests. After a hurried conference
the anti-Taft forces protest was re-
duced to writing. The recited fact

didates directly involved in the case
and Therefor was disqualified to sit
IN judgment" upon it. A similar pro-
test was made in the cases Of Stat

ployes" instead Of manager" for one
OF the candidates. After considerable
debate, protests were laid on the table
and the Alabama cases was taken up.

Tho State Convention.

Michigan Republicans never held 6
more harmonious convention than the
one which met Tuesday at Grand
Rapids. The only approach to a con
test or division came over the election
of chairman of the State committee
and before the completion of the roll
call Of counties that was ended by the
withdrawal of one of the candidates.
The election of delegates and alternates
at-large and the nomination of presi-
Dental electors was by reclamation;
the resolutions, including the one in
structing the delegates to the national
convention to vote for Secy. Taft, were
adopted without opposition. The
action of the convention in granting
the request of the Michigan Republican
Editorial Association that the member
ship of the State central committee be
increased two and the Association
allowed to name the additional mem
bers, was fine compliment to the Re.
publican press of the state, aud ,the
selection of Perry F. Powers of Cadillac,
and w. J. Hunsaker of Saginaw, will
give to the committee two able mem
bers. Details of the convention are
given on another page.
