The Detroit men were particularly
concerned for their special train
which was scheduled 10 leave at
O'Clock sharp.
The later speakers we're forced "a
cut their talks short and the voting
was done with all the expedition pos

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 12.-Follow-
Ing the Republican state convention
held here Tuesday. members from all
sides or the party expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the
meeting, II was a-rictory for every
body they say, for not once during
the deliberations was there a break
in the spirit OF Cancellation and har-
mony which guided the efforts OF the
leaders in the attempt TO achieve
united action.
The men selected as standard bear
ers OF the reunited party are: For
justices OF the supreme court, Jos. r..

5of Benton Harbor; member OF the
state board of education, Frank Cody,
OF Detroit, and state highway com
missioner, Frank F. Rogers, OF Ian

candidates to succeed themselves.
The easy victory of Rogers over
Richard III. Fletcher, OF Bay City. for
state highway commissioner was I'M
expected. but not surprising. The
two things that did most for Rogers
were the argument that he is well
fitted for the place by having served |

recent agitation against Fletcherism |
