POLITICS HOLDING
CENTRE OF STAGE
TODAY IN MICHIGAN
Fall Convention of Demo-
Gratis, Republicans a n d
Progressives Assemble to
Make Nominations.

DETROIT. Mich. Sept. so.--Polltcs held
the centre of the stage in Michigan today
when the fall conventions OF the three big
political parties-Democratlc, Republican
and ogressve-assembled. The Demo-
Gratis held their sessions here, the G. o.
p. forces met in kalamazoo, while the
Bull Moosers held forth at Bay city.
Each party was to make Its nomna-
tions for the offices of Secretary Of State,
Auditor General, Attorney General, state
Treasurer and state Land Commissioner,
in addition to selecting new state central
committeeman and drafting platforms.
Interest centered in the Democratic con-
between the "Wilson-D Democrats" and the
Wood-Shields faction threatened trouble.
State Chairman Shields declared early to-
day that the Organization" wing would
be In complete control, although the Pro
gressives" promised to make a last-ditch
fight for the seating of their contesting
delegation from Wayne (Detroit), Cal
houn and Delta Counties. Success In this
fight would give them control OF the
convention and subsequent control of the
party organization in Michigan.
There was every indication that the
Republican gathering in Kalamazoo
would be serene and peaceful. The one
chance of serious clash apparently
rested in the possibility that Chase S.
Osborn. the nominee for Governor, and
the party leaders might not agree on
platform planks. Osborn several months
ago went on record as favoring the
recall of judicial decisions. but when
this issue threatened to stir UP internal
strife in the party, he announced that
he would make no effort to dictate his
radical views into the party platform.
Contests for places on the various
party tickets were comparatively few
and mostly unimportant.

most heartily support the nomi-

attitude of fully subordinating
his personal ambition to the
good of the party, and will make
no active canvas before the

events to shape their course till
such time as the convention
shall take action, Judge Everett

HARRY THAW Wins IN
NEW HAMPSHIRE CASES

Wednesday at Concord New
Hampshire, where Harry Thaw
is being held, his petition for a
writ of habeas corpus was grant
ed by Judge Aldrich, of the U. S.
Court. The court said however,
that no order would be issued for
the prisoners discharge from
custody until arrangement has
been completed to take the case
to the United States Supreme
Court of appeal.
Thaw's petition for adriisssion
to bail the court left undeter-
mined, taking the ground that it
would be more appropriate for
this to be passed upon by the
Supreme Court.
The result of the decision is
that Thaw's guardianship and
condition will be unchanged for
the present.
