Charles d. Hllles, chairman Of the

able court to entertain the contests, but
for the purpose OF deceiving the public
into the belief that Mr. Roosevelt had
more votes than be really had. as the
conventions and primaries were in

II was boldly avowed by the chief edi.

Michigan.
In Michigan the state convention
had in it about 1900 delegates There
were only two counties In dispute or
contest. One was Wayne county. in
which Detroit Is situated. and the other
was Calhoun county. The evidence
ried by a very large majority Wayne
county, but 1t was immaterial whether
this was true or not. because. leaving
out both Wayne county aid Calhoun
county. the only counties In contest.
the Taft delegates outnumbered by
several hundred the Roosevelt dele
gates. and they had clear majority
out Of the total number Of votes that
should have been In the convention.
The contest was so weak as to hardly
merit recital
Texas.
In Texas there were 249 counties. Of
which four have no county govern
ment The 245 counties under the call
Of the convention were allowed to have
something over 1000 delegates. repre-

ties there were ninety-nin counties in
which the total Republican vote was
but 1000. In fourteen Of which there
were no Republican voters. in twenty.
seven Of which there were less than
ten each and In none OF which was
there any Republican organization and
In none Of which had a primary or con-

Colonel Cecil Lyon, to whom had been
assigned as referee the disposition OF
the patronage Of the national Repub-

the state. had been in the habit OF con-
