the cause Of the tragedy:
Bitter feeling had been engendered
by the incorporation election and
when the polls opened yesterday
morning for the deciding of the
question interest was at fever heat.
Both those favoring and those op-
posing the issue were at work with
the voters, endeavoring to get full
vote.

The following from the pen Of Hon.
Thos. T. Bates Of the Traverse City
Herald and there is no better authority
IN the entire state. He editorially says:
1T Is stated from Lansing that
Speaker Herbert f. Baker has announ.
oed himself q candidate for the United
States senate against William Alden
Smith. Speaker Baker is one of the
best men who ever lived, but we want
90 say to him right here that he is mp
against q hard proposition IL he runs
against William Alden Smith this year.
~ Michigan Is satisfied with Senator
Smith. Michigan will return him to
the United States senate. The Repub-
licans of Michigan are not ready to lose
the services of the man who has done
90 much for the state, not as Republi.
can. but as public spirited citizen Of
Michigan. His work has been for his
party along party lines. but in the thou
sand and one ways that senator of a
great state like Michigan can serve the
commonwealth along non-partisan lines
and for the good of all concerned, no
man ever representing Michigan in the
United States senate has done more
than William Alden Smith, and we do
not believe that the people Of Michigan
would be satisfied to have the Republi-
cans make any change. 1t is necessary
that these nominations be made along
party lines. Therefore, it is a question
that the Republicans must decide. Ifs
non.partisan primary could be held, II
would be overwhelmingly In favor OF
Senator Smith, and we believe as the
responsibility rests with the Republi.
can party to return the man who rep
resents the whole state and the whole
people as does Senator Smith. the party
will not consent to retire him at this
time"

The greatest battle in the Republi-
can presidential campaign was fought
In Massachusetts, with the result of the
primary not very satisfactory to either
aide. In the preferential vote Pres
Taft received 74.8O8 votes, Col. Roose-
yslt 7i.163 and Sen. LaFollette 1,755;
while the election Of delegates appar-
emily resulted in the selection OF eigh-
tson each for Taft and Roosevelt. The
Taft slate for delegates at-large con-
tanned nine names for the eight places.
chs resulting in general mix.up,
many persons voting for the entire
nine candidates and their votes were
thrown out, giving the Roosevelt can
didates majority Of the votes. Col.
Roosevelt insists that the eight dele.
gates at.large are bound to vote for the
nomination of Pres. Taft in accordance
with the expressed win Of the majority
of the voters. The Democratic prefer
entisl vote gave Champ Clark two tt
one victory over Woodrow Wilson
while the delegates will support Gov
FOss.
