The entrance of the third party, the national progressives, into Michigan politics was watched with interest but the leaders, today, expressed their disappointment over the showing made. Chief interest in the guber- material contests centered in the Re- publican nomination race between Amos s. Musselraan and Frederick c. Martindale. Returns from B coun- ties in the state at MuCn, today, gave Musse1n1an 26,263 and Martindale s22.s4S.
