MICHIGAN VOTE
HEAVY, DESPITE
FREAK WEATHER
G. o. p. Free-fOr-All Holds
Interest With Any One of
Three FavOrite.
NO DEMOCRATIC CONTEST

DETROIT, April 5.-Bufeting their
way through fierce gales and deep snow,
the citizens of Michigan are troOping to
the polls today to cast their ballot In
the most hotly contested presidential
primary ever held in the state
In the republican free-for-all, the Mich
igan vote is regarded as crucial In de-
Gliding between the three candidates now
out in the lead-Gen. Leonard Wood, SEN
ator Hiram Johnson of California and
Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois.
The vote IN Detroit and Wayne county
is being watched with especial eagerness,
for it is breaking all records and the
decision here probably will express the
feeling throughout the state.
A great factory vote is being polled
snd this is regarded as favorable to the
chances Of Senator Johnson, who con-
centrated his campaign efforts here. The
Californian left the state yesterday after
a whrlwind effort to amass votes, ex-
pressing himself as hopeful over the out
come.
Campaign managers for Wood and
Lowdeu, however, are equally optimistic.
YOUNG CHEERS
LOWDEN FORCES.
The Lowden managers are rejoicing
over the last moment decision Of Carl
Young, president OF the Michigan state
Federation of Labor, who gave out an
announcement pledging his support to
the Illinois governor
The Wood forces however. are inclined
to regard this as favorable to their hopes
inasmuch as II VIII mean a cut in the
menacingly large factory vote for John
son.
There are $4,000 women registered for
their first vote in a presidential pri-
mary, but few of them turned out this
morning due to freak weather condi-
tions.
Conditions are immeasurably worse In
the country districts and this was re-
garded as inimical to Wood, who
in other state primary contests has polled
heavily in rural communities.
TRACTION ISSUE
BRINGS 'ENI OUT.
The Wayne county vote is expected to
run upwards OF 100000
More than $4,000 have registered and
as there is a hot traction question up in
yolving the expenditure OF $4,000 600.
this is expected TO result in heavy
ballOting.
Michigans action Will have an i'm
portant bearing on the whole presidential
situation-on this all factions are agreed.
