The returns from'3,760 of tho state's 3,872 precincts showed Van Nuys 74D.62G' votes to 747.774 for Willis. Campaign managers for Willi? claimed that the country editor is leading Van Nuys by about the same ration on the baBJJofJhejr^ returns.

He separated church and state by abolishing the powerful caliphate and by taking Moham- medtain out of the constitution. He substituted the Roman al phabet—for—the -Vrabio and -de creed the adoption of the gregor- lan calendar. The fez anil the veil were discarded as national garb. He ordained equal suffrage for women and outlawed the harems. Ataturk sought to stimulate in Gov. Frank Murphy and singled the governor out as one of the^nation's most liberal and capable executives'. Wolverine votors thought otherwise, and Republican Frank Fitzgerald won by a 70,000 vdte margin. The President, In particular, had praised Governor Murphy for the manner in *which he handled the celebrated Michigan sit-down strikes* in 1937.
