ROOSEVELT VOTE SMALL |
Primaries in Michigan Show That
Republicans Are Loyal.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 2s.-Charles d.
Hilles of the Republican national
committee. who recently spent day
in this state, held a conference with
the Republican county chairmen-
SO counties being represented by
these leaders of county organizations
Eighty OF the county chairmen re-
ported that their counties would vote
for Taft and only three stated that
conditions were doubtful
These reports are the logical Sc
Quence of the recent primary in
Michigan where the vote for the
Third Term party ticket was pitt
fully small.
Representative Mclaughlin OF the
Ninth Michigan District, in speaking
of conditions in that state, says that
Roosevelt Is losing ground daily and
the outlook for splendid majority
for Taft is growing every day.
The recent state Republican con-
vention was attended by. nearly 1900
delegates. Great enthusiasm was
manifested and the speakers we're ap-
plauded Roosevelt's name was not
mentioned, while President Taft's
name was loudly cheered
