Milwaukee, March q La FolIette's
reat~hght on Senator Stephenson's ma
chine has only begun. The wrecking OF
the Stephenson organization is the first
step in the battle for the control Of Wis
consin between la Toilette and Stephen
son.
The night, bitter enough before Stephen
son was able 70 win the election. has
grown r2ore and more bitter, and the de-
cision OF the State senate. controlled by
a combination of La Toilette men anG
Democrats, has az last decided 10 hold an
independent Investigation OF the Senator s

The investigation win be conducted by
The three senators who are now or the

are that when the 1910 campaign opens

SOCIETY STILL FLOURISHES.
False Report Circulated That Finnish
Liberty Society Would End.

A report has been circulated to the
effect that the Finnish Literary socie-
ty of Calumet, which owns the Fin
nsh hall on Eighth street, was about
to die a natural death. This report
was denied this morning. it being stat
ed that the society is in just as -four
ishing condition now as at any time
in it's history. 1t was organized some
years ago for the distribution of Fin
nish literature among the Firms of the
copper country. who became affiliated
with the society either as life or yearly
members. Most of this literature is on
matters historical and all of il is print
ed in the Finnish language The OBJ
ject is to enlighten the local Films on
Finnish history and other matters per-
tanning to the government OF their ma
tive land. The society has not large
membership. but there are several life
members, and the income from these
alone would be sufficient to keep up
and maintain the society. Its expenses
are not large. while it's revenue meets
all current expenses.

REPUBLICANS ARE
STRONG OSBORN BACKfRS
Unanimously Endorse Gubernatorial
Candidacy of the Upper Peninsula's
Foremost Citizen Announcement
Made on Saturday is Gratifying to
Soc Mans Friends.

Calumet republicans seem to be a
unit i'm their expressions of good will
towards the candidacy OF Chase $. Os-
born of the 500 for the republican
nomination for governor, which was
announced on Saturday. A representa-
tive of The News called on many of
the leading republicans of Calumet to-
day and everywhere found warm
welcome for the Osborn candidacy. and
expressions OF pleasure i'm the definite
announcement which has been made.
In view of the completeness of the
local endorsement, il Is hard TO see
where any other candidate viii get
many local votes.
The fact that Osborn is an upper pc
nnsula man, with a keen perception
of the needs of this section as well as
Of the state at large. seems To be the
chief argument in his favor. The 500
mans wonderful personality and broad
acquaintance with the interests of the
citizens of the state are generally rec
ognized here and the best of feeling
pr walls
one of the most enthusiastic en-
dorsements of the Osborn candidacy is
as follows:
1T is remarkably fortunate for the
republican party of Michigan that Mr.
Osborn has consented to enter the
race. Not in a decade has IA man of
the Osborn type and caliber offered
himself for the office"
Another Osborn supporter responded
to the general query by saying:
II am extremely gratified to learn
hat Mr.. Osborn has consented to en-
ter the field, and feel that the strong
'st endorsement that can be given him
S well deserved. He looks like a win
ler."
The opinion prevails that Osborn has
IN excellent chance to win. One of the |
'arty leaders in Calumet stated today |
hat he has a very strong backing in |
he lower peninsula, and that with the |
support generally conceded 20 him i'm |
upper Michigan, should win easily.

SPIRIT OF BROTHERHOOD.
Church Losing Ground Because Lack
of IL Says Stelzle.

or IL says SteIzle.
Rev. Charles Stelzle of New York.
the Presbyterian general assemblys
representative in the work of "the
church and labor" who talked at the
Calumet theater yesterday afternoon,
said in an address before the Presby
terian synod of Michigan in Cadillac
last week on "The Social Unrest" that
the church is losing ground because OF
the failure to exhibit to the laboring
man that spirit of brotherhood which
is essential to saving souls for Christ.
Hell fire cannot be preached sue
cessfully today" he said. mo hell of
the future has so many terrors for the
workingman of today as the hell he is
i'm here on earth. Christian citizenship
and an activity of Christians that
equals the activity OF socialists would
correct the social unrest of this coun-
try"
