THE STATE CONVENTION
fragrant Misrepresentation OF Conditions
and occurances at that Gathering.

N'fH OSSNffaAS 81 hiaA
The press reports Of the Michigan re.
publican convention have been the
most misleading OF any descriptive
work by press correspondents that has
ever come under our notice. The stag
gering Misrepresentation were sent
ont with malice aforethought for the
purpose of casting odium upon the
leaders on either side. Papers of both
persuasion were guilty but the greatest
degree OF guilt attaches % theRoose
yelt papers. especially the Detroit
News which contained iD one issue
picture OF the militia driving delegates
from tbs armory AZ the point OF the
bayonet.
The facts OF the meeting as tairly
as we can describe them are these.
The state central committee last Feb
rnary extended an invitation 70 Tru-
man Newberry Of Detroit 10 preside as
temporary chairman of the convention
and 70 Mr. Lyle to act AS sargent at
arm OF the convention This action
was taken before Roosevelt was can
didate. As things afterwards shaped
themselves Mr.. Newberry became &c.
lively engaged in promoting Mr.,
Roosevelt's candidacy while Mr.. Lyle
adhered 10 the President standard.
A split occurred IN the Wayne county
convention which resulted in the selec.
tion OF two sets of delegates. We are
not prepared TO state with absolute Ger.
tainty as To whether there was any
reason for the bolt of the Roosevelt
men Of Wayne bat II looks. from what
information we can gather that they /
We're in the hopeless minority. Be that |
as il MAY. there were two sets Of dele.
gates chosen from that county each

split occurred in Calhoun county but
as to the merits Of this controversy we
hoard little and are not prepared to
say. The Calhoun delegates numbered
