WARNER PREFERS LANSING.
Small Capitals Prevent Corruption,
Promote Industry and Save Expense.

Lansing. Mich, Feb. S.-(SpeciaD.-
The capital of Michigan. located by the
constitu tirn of the state at Lansing,
suits the people of the state because Of
it's central location geographically, its
easiness OF access. and its remoteness
from the influences of metropolitan
city From time to time the question
of removing the capital from Lansing
to Detroit has been suggested. but it
has never been seriously considered. It
may be said that the location Of the
capital in a central city distant from
the metropolis is unanimously approved
by the people.
THE reasons why n state capital
should not necessarily be located in the
leading city of state are numerous"
said Gov. Warner to your special cor
respondent today They are reasons
understood and appreciated by every
citizen. Convenience of access to the

LESS CORPORATE INFLUENCE
California All But Unanimous in
Favor of the Smaller Capital.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. S.-iSpcciaD.-
The experience Of California from its
earliest history, has been that it is adj
yantagcous for a state to have its
capital located away from its largest
citv. Sacramento has been the capital
ever since the state was admitted TO
tho Union. Sacramento has never
been the largest city and today is the
fourth city in size in the state, having
a population Of about 10000. Twice IN
the history of the state has the rcmov-
al of the capital been under discussion,
hut each time the question at issue was
not that of locating the capitol IN a
larger place. but, on the other hand, OK
placing it in a smaller city.
Gov. James n Gillett. who is out OF
the civ at present, has often expressed
himself as in favor of the location OF
tho caritol. away from the largest city.
The governor himself came from Eu-
relsa. a small but progressive city lar
removed from the metropolis OF th1
state. The advantages to the COVER
nor's office in having the capitol away
from n crowded city are many. he
can decide with more elaboration I'M
nor,ant claims against the state il he
is in a small community than If ne
were in a populous centre where he

cited and prejudicial public clainor,
In the matter of pardons he is less apt

tives in a small city than in large
nlaces from which many criminals arc
sent to the penitentiaries.
Secretary of State 'Chas. F. Curry
who is now serving his third term eN-
| messed decided views on the adVan-
taees to a state in the location OF the
| oanitol in a small city,
..There is no doubt in my mind' SAID
Mr. Curry. "but that there are many
J benefits to a state in having its capito
away from its metropolis. The legis'
Ioture does better work in smaller

are less amusements in a small place
