son, hve want LaFollette, !, four want
Harmon, four want Clark, and four
want Debs for president in 1912.
This sentiment is indicated by
nationwide poll of voters OF every
state. just completed by The Times
in connection with 20 other newspa-
pers scattered from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the Canadian
line to the Gulf OF Mexico. These pa
pers are of all shades of political opin-
lon and among them are the Scripps-
McRae newspapers and the Clover
Leaf league of newspapers.
II should be borne in mind that this
poll was taken after Senator LaFol-
lette's illness and before Col Rocse-
yelts declaration of Monday, Feb. 26.
In order that changing conditions
should not cloud the result no vote
postmarked later than Feb. rs was
counted.
Lists of names. non-political lists
such as city directories. were taken
and every thousandth name Tor some
other multiple) was selected SO as to
apportion the names selected In pro-
portiDn to the population or each
state. Return postcards were sent 10
these addresses and the results care
fully compiled. The result does not
show the sentiment of any particular
newspapers readers, but Is as broad
and impartial as general election.
Voters were asked to express their
first, second and third choices for
president in 1912. A total OF S7,e63
first choice votes were cast, as fol-

Selection of Successor-New
Man From Binghamton
WILSON'S HAND IS SEEN

The selection, Friday afternoon, of
Byres II. Gitchell. of Binghamton New
York, to succeed Lucius K. Wilson as
secretary of the Board of Commerce
j as occasioned great deal of COM
menl among those familiar with the
circumstances, and there are all the
makings of lively row in Detroit's
! civic organization, II reports are true.
! IL Is claimed that the methods OF
the political steam-roifer were rigor-
ously adopted In the selection OF Mr..
Gitchell, and the opposition which
was in favor of selecting a Detroit
man and wanted TO defer action until
the new board Of directors goes into
officer next month was rolled over
ruthlessly.
When the subject of the successor
TO Mr.. Wilson was first taken up those
on the official ticket of directors. TO
be elected next week, were invited in
TO confer with the present board.
When the selection was actually made
Friday afternoon, however, the direc-
tors who are to be elected were invit-
ed to leave the meeting, and Gitchell
was chosep/by the remainder
The reason for excluding the direc-
tors-te<be was the desire of most Of
them to have a Detroit man in the
position OF secretary. There has been
Il great deaf OF talk among the mem
bers along this line and II apparently
WAS the sehtimeHt-ef- many ef-the
members of the board. The board of
directors, however, evidently did not
attach much Importance to this senti-
ment.
1t is claimed that there was not
even a quorum of directors in the
meeting which selected GttCheti. 1t Is
doubtful whether the appointment,
made under these circumstances. will
be supported, and in any event there
Is going to be a considerable insur-
gent party in the organization
II is understood that Secretary Lu-
lefHs F.. Wilson played a large part in
the selection OF Mr. Gitchell and In
tne deliberations OF the committee
which was appointed TO nominate his
successor. Mr. Wilson had several
heated discussions over the affair with
some OF the insurgent members OF the
board Saturday morning. but excused
himscelf from the most embarrassing
OF them by leaving town about IL
o'clock

present in person or represented by
proxy, the Democratic state central
committee convened In the Burns no
tel, Saturday morning, TO fix time
and place for the state convention
that is to choose delegates to the ma
tional Democratic convention. The
absentees were II. j.. Abbott, of Ann
Arbor, who Is Nm Florida, and c. A.
Wall, Of Manistee. Several Democrats
not members of the committee came
from out in the state, just to get in
touch with the party leaders on tue
presidential situation. and to feel
them out as to their preferences. Bolh
Wilson and Harmon men were in evi-
dence, and while the state central
committee is supposed to be partial
to Harmon, the members are very
careful not to express any preference
out loud.
That the Michigan delegation will
go TO Baltimore uninstructed is the. i'm
preston that strongly prevails among
both the committee members and the
out-of-town members.
with so many strong candidates,
In the field, we feel that IL would be
unwise to tie the hands OF the Mich
igan delegation" said Charles E.
Hogadone. of Grand Rapids, secretary
to Congressman Edwin F. Sweet, OF
the fifth district. The delegates
should be free to throw their support
TO the man who looms up in the con-
vention as the strongest and most de-
sirable candidate"
A. r. Garfield, secretary OF the COM
mittee, now tally cerk In the national
house of representatives, came on
from Washington to attend today's
meeting. He is strong for Speaker
Champ Clark as the presidential nom
inee. Clark sent letter to the COM
mittee. which was read at the open
ing of the session, in which he said
that in the 1S years he had been in
congress he had never known time
when the outlook for Democrauc
victory was as bright as Il Is now.
The presidential preference primary
came in for a good deal OF attention
from the speakers in the open meet
ing that preceded the executive ses-
sion. One of the "eFaterieal gems"
was the speech OF Senator James IL.
Lee, who soundly berated Gov. Os-
born and questioned the constitution
ality of the proposed primary bill, but
afterwards admitted that he would
probably vote for II.
Lee declared that when he intro
duced a presidential primary bill in
the senate in the last session. the
Republican leaders refused to give 1t
any consideration whatever.
Senator Murtha, also of Detroit,
went into the history of the famous
break between Gov Osborn and the
senate. which, he said. arose over the
governors refusal to let the senate
have any say in his appointments.
Gov. Osborn has been actuated
throughout his career as governor by
personal ambition and his attitude to-
ward the Legislature has -besnthat OF
a dictator" Murtha said.
