TWO DELEGATIONS FROM
WAYNE TO CONVENTION N \
BAY CITY SEEMS CERTAIN
Roosevelt Folk Declare They
Will Not Submit To Steam
Roller Process
LIKELY TO WIN FINALLY.
Say Friends VIII Control State
Gathering and Seat CoIonel's
Delegates
LIKELY TO WIN FINALLY

IL now seems certain that two dele.
sauons will be sent from Wayne
county to the Republican state con
vention in Bay City, next week. ana
that this body will have to decide
which Is TO be seated.
While the local Roosevelt leaders
still claim TO have a small majority
OF the delegates to the county conven-
tion. 10 be held In Concordia hall. FRI
day morning, they appreciate that the
convention organization is In the
hands OF the Taft people and that the
latter will jam through their pro.
gram. John 5. Haggerty. an avowed
TAFT man, is to be temporary chair.
man OF the convention, which gives
him the privilege OF naming the COM
mittee on credentials. He will. natur-
ally, appoint committee favorable TO
the Taft people, with the result that
the dozens OF contests scheduled over
the seating OF delegates will all be
decided in favor OF the administration
crowd. ~ 7- " -
But the Roosevelt supporters have
no intention OF calmly submitting TO
the steam roller process Beaten
and they know they're going to be
beaten-by what they declare Will be
outrageously unfair methods, they
will withdraw, organize another con-
vention, choose their delegates and
carry the fight TO the state conven-
ton.
And the Roosevelt men expect 20
win before the. state convention. They
say their friends will be in control,
and that this fact. coupled with the
justice of their cause, will result IN
the seating of their delegates.
It's certainly merry squable. and
the prospects are that the colonels
crowd will win out lin the last an
alysis," as they say in books but
never in politics.

HICKMAN, Ky, April 4.-"For

Hickman Is under from five TO 10

intensely. All left their money and

The river is rising steadily and IL
is predicted the rise will continue for
three days at least. Already the stage
is 80 feet higher than normal.
The situation in Hickman is the
most distressing ever known and inn

Gasoline boats are running back

whole families are rescued from the

The poorer people are absolutely
without funds and have only such
clothing as they wore when the rag

great for the city. Every home III

on the result of the battle OF the
"Wets' and "Drys," last Monday, saix
to The Times:
1T is not surprising at all thai
was q victory for the Vets n
great surprise TO me is. that only q
OF the counties under the dry regir11
went back TO wet The prime factcr
entering into the possibility OF a .rc-|
cali from dry TO wet, Is the fiagrau<
nou-enforcement OF the local option
law. The reason for it's non-enforce-
ment must be quite apparent. We are
no longer a nation OF the people. b.
the people. for the people. but. rather
nation OF parties. by parties, for
parties. hence all government. either.
municipal county. state. or national.
necessarily is administered by and
