Detroit, Oct. --Peace reigned on the floor of the Republican State convention today, and the Internecine strife that bad been expected by many did noi develop, unless It in carefully guarded commttee rooms.

Promoters Have Nothing Against Stimson Personally, but Are Opposed to Kooievelt's Domination. Special to Washington Post New York, Oct. A. Dix Is to have the support of a league composed of Taft and Hughes Republicans. The movement has advanced beyortd the tentative stage Some of these Republicans will vote the rest of the Democratic State ticket.

Hundreds of merchants, professional men, bankers, employers, and union labor leaders have exchanged letters which express respect for Henry Stimson, personally, but -which record the intention of the writers to oppose Mr Stlroson aa a representative of Roosevelt domination Almost Invariably, they write that they consider themselves loyal Republicans in opposing Mr. Roosevelt's efforts to control the 1 party machinery in this State aa a step toward the nomination for President in 1912 Several of the letter writers suggest that a meeting of Dix Republicans be held within the next two weeks for the purpose of selecting leaders, outlining campaign work and adopting resolutions which would set forth generally the opinions that have been expressed strongly In the Republican Club, the Union League Club, the Montauk Club In Brooklyn, In commercial and trade organizations, and In union labor halls. The idea of league originated spontaneously, as Investigation today made apparent No one has been around prose- lyting or suggesting a bolt from the Republican organization. But since the nominations at Saratoga and Rochester tnere has been a topic widely discussed In meetings where men came together for Business or social life--Will the election of Mr Stimson mean the nomination of Col Roosevelt In 1912? In these talks Republicans who have been regular hltheito learned how generally the view was taken that the success of the Republican State ticket meant the return of Col Roosevelt to the White House. The men wlio had been exchanging views made up their minds that public expression was necessary Dissenters began to correspond with each other.

At the Union League Club, where more than half of the members have declared tor Mr Dlx, there was a dinner a few evenings ago at which 28 Republicans talked over the situation Twenty-six of them announced they would vote for Dix because they would not support Roosevelt.

After Christmas Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller will go South. The name of Theodore Roosevelt or mention of his policies did not occur In the draft submitted to the convention. The platorm In part says: "We renew our faith in and express our admiration for the President of the United States, whose leadership and personality strengthen the confidence of the American people in their Institutions.

His presidential career has been conspicuous and consistent In Its labors for the people. "We commend Congress for the beneficent legislation which it has enacted. In no other Congress have more and better laws been enacted for the Welfare of our people Kind Words for Congress. "Under the leadership ot the President, Congress promptly passed a tariff law, giving especial attention to the preservation of the wage scale of our workingmen from injurious foreign competition, to the protection of American industries, and to the financial necessities of the government We approve most heartily the establishment of the tariff commission, which will render unnecessary in the future a general revision ot the tariff, with its attendant discussions and depression. "The recent enactment by Congress of the railroad law, creating a new court of commerce, which shall have Jurisdiction to determine matters growing out of the operation of the interstate commerce law, is worthy of the highest praise." The platform urged the desirability of a public land act, and recommended that the term of governor be extended from two to four years, and that 1m should be ineligible for reelection.

All the party candidates were Indorsed, and no reference was made to the administration of Gov. Warner, over which bitter factional differences had existed. Each speaker Invoked Col. Roosevelt's name at the proper period of his oration, then awaited the outburst which came unfailingly. Chase Osborn, Republican nominee for governor, In a speech eulogizing Col.

Roosevelt, asserted his belief that the power of the former President as a teacher and preacher was greater as a private citizen than as President. The convention did not select the sentiment for applause. Representative Dlekema linked the names of Taft and Roosevelt as two of the world's greatest men, saying: Only One Small Contest. "They are as opposite as the poles In methods, but they are absolutely alike in essential alms and purposes. The one has aroused the public conscience; has revealed great national sins; has stimulated courage, and patriotism.

The other has used his powerful Influence to crystallize into permanent law those reforms which his advice and work helped to produce. Without the one the work of the other would have been Incomplete and impossible This sentiment was more to the liking of the delegates, who shouted their approval. The platform, which had received the attention of United States Senator Smith, Representative Townsend, and Mr. Osborn before its presentation, was received before a body of rapidly dispersing delegates, who had begun to depart Immediately after the outcome of the only contest on the floor. It was a contest for the nomination for attorney general, which was won by Franz Kuhn, the incumbent, against four competitors.

The other nominations were by acclamation, the Incumbents being again chosen. They were: John E. Bird, for Justice of the supreme court; Frederick C. Martlndale, for secretary of state; Albert Sleeper, for State treasurer; Huntley Russell, for commissioner of the State land office, and O. B.

Fuller, for auditor general. W. Fred Knox was named for chairman of the State committee Chase B. Osborn and John Q. Ross already had been selected In the primaries held four weeks ago as candidates for governor and lieutenant governor.

Sweetheart in Russia Wrote He Might Be Too Late if He Did Not Get to Her in November.

Special to The Washington Post. New Tork, October will find a way--generally But soriHtlmeB, as in the case of Christopher Kratzer, when unro- mantlc outsiders interfere, even the plans of love are defeated who has worked as a baker since he came from Russia seven years ago, bought an order for steerage passage on the French liner Provence, wlilch sailed today. He neglected to exchange his order for a ticket, and when he reached tha pier, shortly before sailing time, he was not allowed to board. Suddenly there was a shout, for Kratzer had jumped from the pier, seized the last cable as It was being drawn aboard the steamer, and had started to climb up. The cries attracted the sailors, who let out slack to land the man on a raft alongside the pier.

Kratzer landed in the water with only his face and arms above the surface By careful meneuverlng, the men at both ends of the line swung It so that the man was sprawled onto the raft. But Kratzer didn't want to go ashore. Before the line could be gotten out of reach he made another grab and again started deck-ward as the line was drawn in. Once more the deckhands let out slack, and the men on the pier threw out a rope and pulled Kratzer to the dock. Then they held him till the cable was out of reach.

His first question was about the sailing time of the next boat. When told there would be one next week he brightened. She "would wait for him till then, he said, and when pressed or an explanation he said his sweetheart had written him that he, must be In Warsaw by November 1, or It might be too late.
