Smith Wins Republican Nomination in Michigan Senate Fight
In Lansing last week William Alden Smith was chosen by the Republican caucus to replace Roswell Alger in the U.S. Senate after a hard contest that toppled the Atwood machine. Governor Warner's letter opposing Arthur Hill shook the party framework and signaled a shift in Michigan politics. Smith, born in Dowagiac in 1850, rose from newspaper seller to congressman, owning the Grand Rapids Herald and serving as bank vice president while gaining political clout.
