PECULIAR SITUATION CONFRONTS VOTERS IN MICHIGAN PRIMARIES. Detroit, April 4.—With practically the whole of Michigan in the grip of a mid-winter snowstorm on the eve of the presidential primaries campaign managers of leading candidates tonight alternately discussed the not altogether promising election weather, and predicted victory for their candidates. The vigorous campaigns which have marked the last few weeks, however, were conducted principally in the industrial centers of the lower peninsula and it was generally believed the wintry weather would have little effect on the heavy voting in prospect. In moet of the larger cities hotly contested municipal issues were counted on to bring in a heavy ballot. Seven republicans, five democrats and one socialist are seeking the state’s indorsement for presidential nomination. Chief interest, however, seemed to center in the race between Governor Frank O. Lbwden, of Illinois, Major General Leonard Wood and Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California, all of whom made extensive campaigns touring the state. Other republicans on the ticket were General Pershing, Senator Poindexter of Washington and William G. Simpson, .of Detroit; Herbert Hoover’s name appears on both the republican and democratic tickets. The only democratic candidate to conduct an active campaign was Attorney General Palmer. That ticket also bears the names of W. J. Bryan, William G. McAdoo and Governor Edwards of New Jersey.
