DELEGATES FROM MICHIGAN
ARE STILL TO BE CHOSEN
BY WILLIS J. ABBOT,

Detroit, Mich. April Sin con-
sidering the effect of the Mich
igan primary elections. il must
be kept clearly in mind that the
actual delegates have yet to be elect
ed. The voters of the State have,
it is true. expressed their prefer
ences for this or that public man
as the nominee of their respective
parties. But no machinery nor any
force, other than that of public opiu-
ion, exists for enforcing that pref
erence upon the delegates yet to
be chosen.
In due time the prCinCt commit
tcemen will select delegates TO the
county conventions. which in turn
will send delegates to the State
convention. At that convention the
district delegates will be chosen by
the districts in caucus. and the del
egates at large by the convention
as a whole.
Many of these delegates may hold
views quite contrary TO those ex-
pressed by the voters Of the State
in the primaries. They may be-
probably will be. instructed by the
State convention to respect those
views, but only for a reasonable
time. Just how much time or how
many ballots shall be held to be
reasonable" in the case of n hope
less candidate no competent author
ity has as yet determined. In the
famous case of Henry Ford four
years ago, one perfunctory ballot
was considered complete Tecog-
milton of the preference expressed
by the State.
For Moral Effect.
Accordingly the money and effort
spent by the managers of the rival
candidates in Michigan must be
looked upon as having been spent
for the moral effect of the showing
made rather than with any expecta-
tion of controlling the delegates
throughout a hard fight, such as Is
certain in the Chicago convention.
What is to be the second choice
of the Michigan d elegation. either
as whole or as individuals. is the
really important matter.

the moral advantage OF registering
their demands for an Irish republic
in accordance with the line of law
and order laid down by the govern

demonstration to the world thas

These rights comprise control of one

morning. was the forty-fourth horni-
eide recorded in this city during the

number Of homicides committed the
current fiscal year will outnumber
those of any previous year.
Even in the wet days." remarked a
member of the police force, there
was no homicide record to reach that
of the present fiscal year"
He was unable to suggest a cause
for the large increase in the number
of such crimes.
Jackson. who shot himself after kill
ing his niece, was reported at Freed

conscious and in the same condition
as when he reached the hospital. His
recovery Is not expected.
