Detroit.-Late returns increased the
plurality which Michigan gave to
Hughes over Wilson, continued to pile
up the majority in favor of the state
wide prohibition measure and CON
firmed earlier predictions of the elec-
ton of Senator Charles e. Townsend
and the entire Republican state ticket
by large pluralities.
Hughes plurality over Wilson in the
entire state was approximately 10000
votes.
The late returns emphasized the
sweeping victory won by the Prohi-
bition forces, the majority for the
statewide prohibition amendment ap-
preaching $4,000, and a similar major
ity was recorded against the home-rule
