yesterday from Chicago and Michigan,
said that the Wood candidates for
delegates in seven out Of thirteen
Michigan Congressional districts had
been elected and would go to the con-
ventions as Wood and not Johnson
delegates.
The plurality Of forty-odd thousand
in the state for Senator Johnson was
rolled up almost wholly in the city Of
Detroit and county Of Wayne" said Mr..
Moore. Detroit gave Johnson a plu-
rality of about $4,000. Outside of De-
troit and two or three large towns the
Wood men won. The returns indicate
that Wood carried seven and johnson
six Congressional districts. The John
son delegates at large won, which, with
twelve district delegates, gives Senator
Johnson sixteen and Wood fourteen of
the thirty delegates to the Chicago
convention. The delegates at large
will be bound by the state-w wide vote.
who will be controlled by the political
views of their constituencies"
Ill Pledges to Wood
If Mr.. Moore is correct the result In
Michigan was not as sweeping as tho
large johnson plurality indicated. Mr..
Moore said that his construction Of the
primary law is the same as that Of the
Wood headquarters in Chicago. The
general impression in the East with
reference to the Michigan result is
that the preferential vote binds the
entire Michigan delegation, at least
for the first ballot
Moses, Of New Hampshire, Southern
manager of General Woods campaign,
said here yesterday that General
Wood now has Ill delegates pledged
and that there is every indication that
he Will have 300 delegates at the open
ing of the Chicago convention. SEN
ator Moses said that the Wood cam
crossing satisfactorily.

structivc liberalism

with Thomas Layden. of Paterson, and
Milford l.. Ballard, of East Orange, the
Johnson candidates for delegate at
large. whereby the Johnson vote in
New Jersey will be thrown to the two
Senator'S in exchange for their support
Of Layden and Ballard, with the idea of
electing Johnson big four. no matter
whether the remaining twenty-four
delegates are for Wood or not.
The two United States Senators
have refused TO pledge for Wood and
because of their refusal the Wood men
have nominated Ex-Governor John W.

Runyon against them.
AT the johnson headquarters last
