IL is a matter of pride 20 the committee
that the Delaware fund represented the

MICHIGAN PRIMARIES
WATCHED WITH INTEREST
Expected Vote Will be Heavy,
Despite Heavy Snowfall;
Debs a Candidate.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Detroit, April 5.--Michigan voters to-
day were registering their preference for
Presidential nominations, with 10 candi-
dates. seven Republicans, five Democrats
and one Socialist-seeking endorsement.
An exceptionally heavy vote was in
prospect, although much of the State
was covered with two TO six inches OF snow
and country highways were drifted several
feet deep in places, as result OF the Easter
blizzard.
The vigorous campaigns made by sew
eral of the candidates and hotly contested
municipal issues in nearly all the larger
cities, were counted upon by campaign
managers to bring most of the voters to
the polls.
Confidence in the outcome was express
ed by the headquarters of Governor Frank
o. Lowden, Major-Gencrnl Leonard Wood
and Senator Hiram johnson, all of whom
made several extensive campaign tours.
Other Republican candidates were Gen.
eral Pershing, Senator Miles Poindexter
and William G.. Simpson of Detroit.
Herbert Hoover's name appeared on
both the Republican and Democratic
tickets.
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
was the only Democrat to campaign
through the State, the others named on
that ticket being William c. McAdoo,
William Jennings Bryan and Governor
Edwards of New Jersey.
Eugene V. Dehs was the Socialist candI-
date.
The polls opened at 7 o'clock and were
to close in the rural precincts at . and
in the cities at s %. m.

FIGHT OVER FREE SEEDS.
Some Congressman Insist They Stiil
Have Merit as Vote Getters.

Washington, ID. c., April 5.-One OF
the bitterest fights of the present session
of Congress is about to be weged, IN
volving as it does the free seed distrlbu-
ton provided by Congressman for 80
years or more.
An appropriation by the House OF
s239.416 for vegetable seeds has been
cut out of the annual Agricultural Ap-
preparation bill by the Senate. 1t was
put in by the House by a substantial
majority. The bill is now In conference.
The House Committee on Agriculture
had n hard fight over the item. Alter
four or five ballots il was put IN the
bill, but reduced under the estimate OF
$4,000.
Many Congressman think the charm
of package of garden seed one OF the
greatest Of vote-getters. They employ
extra help TO send out the seed. Going
under Conuessmens frank, the seeds
clog the mails in early spring and espe-
cially during election years. Hundreds
of thousands of packages of seeds are
sent out every year. The Department
of Agriculture maintains tremendous
force asserting the seed and filling pack
ages. The task is one of the most I'M
portant activities of the Government,
Congressman think.
Fights 70 strike out the free seed
graft have been made before, but not
with quite as much chanc' of success
as Just now. The Republicans see a
good chance to econonize and they say
thew are going TO do IL.

A. m)-Rcsumption of trading IN the
stock market today after the Easter recess

This was not reflected in foreign exchange,
however, the London rate continuing

the unsettled foreign situation to exert
pressure in various directions before the

The reversal was soon halted however,
