HOT CONVENTIONS
FOR THIS STATE
MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS MEET AT BAY
CITY NEXT MONTH.

lansing Mich, March li.-Bay CITY
VIII next month see two of the hot
test political conventions this state
mas enjoyed for many year. The
iaet That the presidential primary bill
even If II should now secure the three
additional votes to give il immediate
erect, as only advisory. and the dele
gates Will be elected in convention
gives assurance of hot contest in
both the Republican and Democratic
conventions The Republican conven-
ton VIII be held in Bay City. April II,
ana the Democrats will meet one week
later.
inc lines will be most sharply drawn
between the Roosevelt and Taft fac
tlons In the Republican convention
The entire administration strength will
be thrown TO Roosevelt and the fed
eral organization will try to swing the
delegates into lire for Taft. Then there
VIII be few in the convention who
VIII desire that LaFollette shall re-
ceive the support of Michigan. perhaps
one or two will stand for Cummins and
yet others for Hughes, while some will
insist that the only way to keep clear
CT the nuddle will be to instruct for a
complimentary ballot for Osborn for
president and then break where it
seems most advisable when the lines
are drawn at the national convention.
The district and county conventions
held prior to the state conventions will
be equally stirring for every attempt
viii be made TO swing these conven-
tions so as to assure strong support
for the several candidates before the
state convention.
In the Democrat state convention, an
equally bitter battle may be expected.
The Wilson and Harmon forces are di-
rectly opposing each other and all over
the state are waging bitter fight.
Clark has considerable following in
Michigan, too, SO that the contest on
April Is should be just as interesting
as that to be held a week earlier.
On the night preceding the Republi-
can convention the Mckinley club will
give a big banquet when speakers of
national renown will be present and
address the members and the large
number of delegates who will be guests
at the assemblage. An interesting fea-
ture of this gathering will be the fact
that Gerrit j. Diekema, who is hand
line the Taft campaign in Michigan,
will be one Of the speakers, while for
mer Senator Beverage, a progressive
OF the most advanced type. will be
there to talk on the other side. Gov
ernor Osborn will also speak and ev-
erybody knows he will talk Roosevelt,
so that the banquet should serve as
most thrilling curtain raiser for the big
doings at the state convention.

ed, to use the maximum Of his infiu-
ence for the national ticket.

OREGON SYSTEM
Is UNDER FIRE
Arguments in Referendum Case
are Presented Before Su-
preme Court
FRAUDS HAVE BEEN ADMITTED
Bill Appropriating Money to Uni
versity at Stake
Baekers OF Petition Asking That Bill
Be Referred to People. Admit
Fake Names.

Salem ore, March 14.--Arguments
were heard today before the State su-
preme court in-the University of ore
gon referendum casa case which in
wolves alleged frauds under the refer
endum phase of the oregon system"
Before the law appropriating $500, 900
for buildings and extensions of the
University OF Oregon at Eugene went
into effect. petitions asking a referen-
dunn on the bills were filed with the
Secretary OF State. Examination Of
the petitions by friends OF the Univer-
sity is said to have disclosed frauds
and irregularities sufficient TO Justify
suit to enjoin the Secretary of State
from putting the question on the ballot
for next November.
Evidence introduced i'm the trial of
the injunction suit in the circuit court
indicated that the greater part OF the
$4,000 names on the petitions were
secured by paid circulators at few
cents per name and that in the case Of
seven circulators gross frauds were
charged.
3,778 Names Fraudulent.
Two lists of names were secured, it
is alleged by hanging the petitions in
saloon in Astoria. and another list
of 100 names from The Dallas is said
to have contained the names Of men
dead for years. Evidence was so con-
elusive that the defenders OF the petit
tions had TO admit that 3,77S names
were fraudulent, being forged. and in
addition some 4,525 names were pre-
sented in a form declared void by a
previous decision of the State supreme
court. t, -a.r
Elimination of these names brought
the number of unattached names below
the limit required to call referendum
The Secretary of State. however. con-
tends through counsel that part OF
the l.42S names should be considered
good-enough of these being claimed
To insure the referendum.
Decision is Awsited.
The University won it's case i'm the
circuit court, the judge scoring the
fraudulent means used in securing
many of the signatures. In the brief
filed on appeal. the University contends
that even the names unassaled by
direct evidence should be looked upon
with suspicion because of frauds adj
mitted on the remainder OF the petit
tion.
The final decision in the case il
awaited with keen interest by both tn
friends and opponents Of the Oregon
system Of popular government. Among
the notable outsiders who have mani
tested All interest i'm the proceedings
are Governor Harmon Of Ohio. Cover
nor Wilson of New Jersey, and the Rt
Hon. James Bryce, British ambassa-
dor at Washington and author of The
American Commonwealth" From each
of the three men named have come re-
quests for copies Of the briefs filed
in the case.
