All Political Eyes Turn Today Toward
Michigan's Preferential Primaries

Washington, April 4.-All politi-
cal eyes tomorrow will be turned on
Michigan. BY tomorrow night the
three foremost Republican candidates
Senator Hiram johnson, Major
General Leonard Wood and Governor
Frank o. L.owden, of Illinois, will
have an inkling as to whether the re-
mainder of their campaigns will be
for better or for worse. This is be-
cause Michigan's preferential pri-
mary Is the first to be held in a
fore the result will be taken as an in
dication of the way the Republican
voters are thinking.
The Michigan primary Us now
thought to be between General Wood
and Senator johnson, with Governor
Lowden holding an outside chance
Senator johnson has just wound up
his campaign in the wolverine state
and he perhaps has made the most
vivid impression on the voters because
he is a skilled campaigner and a good
orator and a mass psychologist.
On the Democratic side, little, n
Is doing. although those
Democratic voters who summon up
enough energy to go to the polls are
expected to give William G. McAdoo
their support.
Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal
mer is really the out and out Demo-
cratic candidate listed in the pri-
mary, but Mr.. Palmer's chances OF
capturing the. Michigan vote are said
to be not extremely bright.

The explanation of the Democratic
lethargy. can of course be found in
the White House, but no one had
been able to screw up sufficient cour-
age to seek it Meantime, though the
attorney general is making the best of
a bad bargain but his candidacy is SO
youthful and so amenable to infirmi-
ties that it may be blighted at any
moment.
The past few days have furnished
some idea Of the reaction attendant
upon Herbert Hoover's announcement
that he would accept the Republican
nomination. Mr.. Hoover's revela-

ambitions did not create any great
furore, IL reports received in Wash

may be relied upon.

to the work accomplished during his
administration. He has explained
why the bad condition of the city
streets, which were beQueathed to
him by the administrative board, have

which held up all constructive work.
Since then the contractors have been
tied up by labor troubles and bad
weather conditions
Mayor Ainslie has pointed to I'm
provements at the city gas works as
an indication OF his work for the
people. Better pay and working hours
for firemen and policemen have also
been put into effect. Motorization of
