House with regard to Prwidenl Wilson running foi a ihird term the Republicans arc humo ?active than '[ ?" -Democratic candidates, but both are I ? busy. Michigan has thirty delegates at each convention and her primary is on April .'? r?he only earlier ones are | those of the two Dakotas, with ten delegates each, and New Hampshire, with only eight. New Hampshire is conc?dai to Wood and North Dakota to the Non-Partisan League preference, probabh Frazier, so that the Michigan result, as an indication of the way the voter? are thinking, is of great in? terest It is conceded that the moral effect of the result may be significant in other states, especially as there is nothing which political "leaders" are so pror.e to do as leap on the band wapon. Governor Lowden of Illinois, Hiram Johnson and William G. Simps- n, a local figure, already have made formal entry in the Republican primary, while application for General Wood will be riled in a few days. Of the other can? didates it is expected that Harding and Poindexter will enter. No move for Coolidge has been made so far. Wood Sentiment Strong several keen political observers told me to-day that if the primary wen held now General Wood would sweep the state, although Lowden an,i John son wo'j'.d get u ;.:^ vote. Each added. however, that the Lowden organization is stronger than that favor:-:'j the general, with the probability that Lowden may be the victor when the primary is actually held National '. Committeeman Charles B. Warren has made no statement, but :s understood to be for Lowden. while the state or-: ganization centering at Lansing is ?? '.ieved to be vigorously for the II.im i? Governor. He has made several trips i in the state, addressing all sorts of I meetings and making, so far as can fee learned, a very favorable impres? sion. Lowden literatnre showing how he consolidated 125 state boards and commissions into nine departments, as Governor of Illinois, makes a real hit with people wl ?? want a h is? c ? :.:. ing at Was! ington.

This group of letter writers, for the most part, take r.he position that the importance of the "Reds" is being greatly exag rated, and their number is actually few. It may be that tills feeling has been engendered here through several un? fortunate arrests of persons who were mything but "Reds." Friends of Palmer are decrying this talk as senti? mental twaddle, and point to the fact hat members of the American Leg > n .olunteered to guard the "Reds" irrested without pay, after the police ' : d refused the job.

Republicans Incensed There is widespread dissatisfaction with the conduct of the tria', some Re? public-.ns being so incensed that they are openly impugning the motives of Speaker Sweet, the father of the charges, and his own active managei for the Republican nomination for Gov ernor. Many are for ending the proceedings at once, holding that the longer they continu? the mare harm they will do the party and aid the spread of Social? ism, Others, however, believe the only ones injured by the methods pursued by tho Judiciary Committee, or. rather its cl rman, will be Speaker Sweet r.nt his oll-, wer a. So intense is the feeling against the Speaker and Assemblyman Louis M Martin, chairman of the Judiciary Com n ittee. that s veral members of th?
