TAFT DEtEGATES GlUM As

News From Illinois" Puts
Damper on Enthusiasm of

The aft special train, carrying the
Wayne delegation and Interested

Bay City, pulled out of the Michigan

suit of the volunteers" who preced-
ed them late Wednesday evening
Not many more than 200 were on
the Taft special, and as the semi
sombre bunch" showed a deficiency
of hilarity and unexpected dignity, 1t
is reasonable to suppose that the
news from Illinois had leaked out.
/ Attorney James ID. Jerome, mem
ber OF the state legislature from
Wayne, acknowledged that there was
encouragement for the Roosevelt
crowd in the primary returns from
"the sucker state, but seemed TO
think that Taft had such a start that
the influence OF the result in Illinois
would not cut much ice.
Attorney A. E. Woodruff, Of Wyan-
dotte. and Farmer Fred j. Burnham,
|of Romulus, also members OF the
Wayne county representation, In I.s
lower branch of the state legislature,
said that they felt all right on the
morning of the day of battle but they
were not yelling their heads on with
enthusiasm. One of them expressed
the opinion that all the Taft forces
wanted was square deal
School Supt, w. G. Martindaie,
brother of the secretary of state, was
passenger on the Taft special,
which is evidence that the pending
campaign is one of education. The
special was in charge OF James +.
McGresor. and consisted of one "choo
choo," a baggage or express car, an
limprovised diner aud four smokers

verted into portable lunch shop
One long counter that would pass for
very Fair imitation of bar. had
been built for the occasion. and oc'
cupied one side OF the car The bal
ance OF the car was without furniture
However, notwithstanding the
suspicious looking architecture OF that
long and high and narrow counter a
man in evidence handed out the as
surance that 1t was just a lunch
counter"
The passengers on the special wore

that the red Is significantly sugges

Anyway. II the Taft forces from
Wayne are sure OF some 500 or 80,

positive that they will absolutely con

Just what effect the victory OF the
Clark faction in Illinois on Tuesday
will have upon the convention here is
impossible to estimate. So far the
Clark sentiment in this county has
been negative quantity. Straw

shown that Washtenaw county is par

former Princeton man leading. A

sent TO the state convention. They
expect so little opposition that they
claim the convention will merely be a

Governor Wilson has always been
popular In this city, and at the time
President Angel resigned there were
many who hoped that he would be
persuaded TO accept the presidency
OF the University of Michigan. He
added TO his popularity here when he
made an address upon the occasion
