MICHIGAN STAN I s
BY MAJORITY
PLATFORM
VOTED soLlDLY AGAINST RAIL
ROAD APPRAISAL AND CAM.
PAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS PLANks
IN MINORITY REPORT.

CHICAGO, June IS.--Michigan's
railroad regulation laws were brought
up In the discussion OF the minority
report on resolutions. Representative
Cooper. OF Wisconsin, who expounded
the La Toilette ideas, told of the
progress made by the states Of Wis
consin and Michigan. Scattering
cheers greeted his reference.
Michigan was securely anchored to
the majority platform through secret
caucus action when the La Toilette
minority report came up. The Wolver-
ines swung their 2S votes against the
Wisconsin railroad appraisal resolu
lions In bulk. and then again on the
campaign contributions plank, the lat
ter heartily favored by Roosevelt and
Taft.
The only Michigan split came on
the question Of election OF United
States senators by popular vote, when
five Michigan men had the courage to
vote aye.
1.-The party has gone as far as It
could go In the compromise antrim
junction plank" said Congressman
Diekema
The influence and activity OF the
faction adherent to 4. d. Stair has
been most noticeable all through the
early sessions OF the convention In the
attitudes taken by the Michigan dele
CATION. There are undercurrents and
trends that point to the ultimate can
aidaey OF Stair as a conservative Re
publican for Senator Burrowss seat.
While Stairs personal ambitions
have been checked, he has assisted
most materially in guiding Michigan
toward the reactionary side. The con-
servative leaders Of the national party
are to that extent in his debt for the
swinging of a delegation chosen for
and pledged to Taft to the side Of
those who have opposed Taft The
presidents policy was repudiated
"Wednesday in secret caucus and In
that meeting Stairs phalanx swung in
behind Fordney
Stair at first longed for the chair
manship OF the delegation, but had to
give that up. Then he tried to get the
place OF national committeeman or
elect Phil Mcmillan, but after brief
play. had to give that up. He did
swing his cIump Of votes 10 Fordney
and in the caucus on platform finally
gained a success
Those who held that Stair, when
