ROOSEVELT FAVORED IN WAYNE:
HUGHES IS SECOND IN FAVOR
ROOT RUNS
POOR THIRD
IN COUN TY

Roosevelt, Hughes and
Root.
These candidates for the
Republican presidential NOM
ination are the ones favored
by Wayne county Republi-
cans.
With the Republican ma
tional convention two weeks
distant great interest is now
being taken by Wayne coun-
ty party workers concerning
the selection of a standard
bearer.
Roosevelt is Popular.
Roosevelt appears to be as popular
as ever with the majority of former
Wayne county Progressives who are
now within the Republican ranks
again. And there are quite a number
of "stalwart" Republicans who favor
the Colonel, believing him to be the
strongest candidate to oppose Presi-
dent Wilson
The Hughes sentiment is also pro-
nounced In Wayne county. He is un-
doubtedly the choice of a majority of
the regular Republican voters and
quite a few former Progressives favor
him.
Root has small following Of regu-
lar Republicans and a very. few for
rner Progres ssfves Quite a number of
Hughes supporters favor Root for sec
ond choice. Roosevelt fans' for the
most part vigorously declare they
no second choice.
Opposed to Fairbanks.
The 'favorite son" candidacy of
Charles Warren Fairbanks has receiv.
led no encouragement from Wayne
county Republicans In polling repre-
sentative Republican voters the dis
covery has been made, in fact, that
the Fairbanks candidacy is not even
taken seriously These voters believe
that if Fairbanks receives the vice
presidential nomination he will be for.

With sudden. borrowed light.
And oh. the half true truths they

And oh. the earnest lies!
With what gay ardor they unfold
Their picture Paradise!
