Cannon May Lose Two Delegates in Michigan Rift
Special to The Washington Post reports from Washington that Speaker Cannon may lose two Michigan delegates pledged to his cause at the Republican national convention. The Fordney district in Saginaw is debated as to the validity of its instruction, with party leaders considering re‑endorsing the delegates and potentially reshaping the Ways and Means seat vacated by William Alden Smith’s promotion to the Senate. Michigan Republicans, split between Fordney’s tariff stance and broader Cannon support, face pressure from Taft rivals and Rooseveltians as they weigh local interests against national strategy.
