Osborn, in Speech To Voters Of
Muskegon.

MUSHROOM. Mich, Nov. Law
ton T. Hemans spoke before an en-
thnslastic audience OF 400 here last
night He devoted half an hour OF his
speech to denunciation OF Osborn and
denials OF statements made by Osborn
and George p, Codd. he said In an
aver to Colds statement that he was
dreamer and a fourfiusher. that he
admitted he was a dreamer, but as
20 his being dlgnlhed gentleman OF
leisure and fourfiusher, he (COddl was
an "unmitigated liar" In regard TO
statements that he was absent 447
times out OF SCI roll calls, 80 OF
which were without leave, he claimed
that such q statement was entirely
false and that no man was any more
regular in attendance than he him
self
Going further, he said that Osborn
advocated a general cleaning up OF
Michigan in his campaign before the
primary, but now he was making his
campaign on such things as his Tie
mansD absence from roll call and
the fact that he was member OF the
commission that brought the remains
OF MichAgan's nrst governor nome lol
burial and spent too much money In
performing this act. He said that
the real issue of this campaign was
whether they should clean house or
Just sweep the dust from under the

Bile with Michigan was not Warnerism'
but that the whole administration was
at fault and that the trouble was
fundamental He said, Il don't believe
political offices should be used In pay
ment of campaign debts. IL Is nasty
and ought to be stopped"
In conclusion, he said that the peo-
ple OF Michigan should by this time
have had enough Of having their polit-
ical life controlled by big businesses,
but n they wanted more OF 1t all they
had to do was TO vote for Chase Os-

HOTEL BREWSTER
MAKING CHANGES
San Diego's Popular Hosiery Is
Doing Big Business-Many
Improvements

To obtain a good idea of the way
in which persons from all parts of the
country are flocking to San Diego it is
only necessary to take a glance at
what is now the leading hostelry of
the city-the Hotel Brewster.
Were always glad to see our
friends declared G. B. Daggett, the
genial proprietor as he greeted group
of Los Angeles business men in the
lobby, and the hotel lives up to Dag
gett's remark in every principle.
San Diego has been growing, and, of
course, the Brewster has become too
small to care for the crowds which are
driven to the hotel from every train.
Time after time it has been necessary
to turn guests away from the hotel,
and so some time ago the new addition
was completed.
Today Proprietor Daggett is doing
the hotel business of San Diego, and
every person who enters the hotel d
guest leaves it friend.
Many improvements are now being
made, the entire floor of the lobby be-
ing put in in inlaid work, while a new
barber shop has been opened in con-
nection with the Brewster. A first-class
cafe will be able to care for the hotel
patrons as early as October.
The Brewster, in addition to boasting
a well-liked proprietor and a first
class management, has now every mod
ern Improvement, and at the popular
rates now charged is doing the hotel
business of the southern metropolis.

SAN DIEGO FROM A
FRATERNAL STANDPOINT

San. Diego, in this, as we'll as other
departments of a city, is we'll repre-
sented, quite a number of the orders
owning their own buildings, and it is
needless to say that they are credit
to the city.
The Masonic fraternity is repre-
sented by two blue lolges. a Royal
Arch chapter, Council of Royal and
Select Masters and Commandery, of
the New York Rite and all of the
branches of the Ancient Scottish Rite
are well organized, from the 4th to the
33nd degrees.
The Eastern Star has two chapters,
the Amaranth one and each and every
department of Masonry, is active and
f1ourishing. The order is at present
building a temple at Fifth and Ash
streets, expecting to occupy same by
January 1st, 1911.
The l. o. o. f. is well represented by
two live subordinate lodges, two
branches of the Rebekahs, Encamp-
ment, Canton and Veterans. They
own their own building located at
9th and H streets
The Knights of Pythias are equally
well represented, having two good sub
ordinate lodges. two temples of Pyth-
ian Sisters, a company of the Uniform
Rank and the Insurance Section.
This order is erecting a Castle hall
on the southwest corner of Srd and e,
streets, and expects to occupy same by
the first of the coming year.
The Grand Army of the Republic
has two posts, two auXiliaries, one
circle of the Ladies' G. A. r., camp
of the Sons of Veterans. as well as
Spanish American War Veterans, and
q post of Confederate Veterans.
One lodge of B. p. o. e. is located
in their own building, corner End and
e streets The organization is strong
and active.
The 1. o. r. M, have one tribe, the
A. o. F., one court F. of A., have two
as well as two circles Companions of
Forestry, and the N. S. G. w. have one
lodge.
The Eagles, Sons of Herman and A..
o. H. are also we'll represented.

DR.. LESSEN EFFECTS
MANY RECENT CURES

One of the most remarkable cures
ever effected is claimed by DIR. Les
at San Diego. In this instance it is
claimed that the famous water cure
completely freed two young men from
the dreaded white plague.
Although no cases are accepted
which have advanced to the so-called
third stage, it is said that many have
been cured by the San Diego institu-
tion when taken in the incipient
stages.
The Kneipp sanitarium, located as
il is in one of the finest residence
sections of the city, is constantly
growing in popularity and many ap-
plications already have been received
for winter accommodations.

AS a direct result of San Diego's
exposition the federal government will
establish in this city an agricultural

preparing plans for a modern harbor,
to cost several millions, such as does
not exist along the entire Pacific sea-
board The government is expected
to make provisions for the torpedo
fleet and other vessels of war, and, as
an aid to it's complete success, the
San Diego Arizona railway will be
operating over the most direct route
between the middle west and Pacific
tidewater. The immediate effect will
be the development of every section of
the southwest commercially tributary

nearest point to the Great Circle" of

RAILROAD MEANS MUCH
The San Diego & Arizona railway
which is expected to make large part
of the future history of San Diego will
serve to isolate the trade relations of
the city from those of other Califor-
nian cities and to make her indepen-
dent of influences that have heretofore
kept her in thrall to the dictation of
interests not always favorable or even
benevolently inclined toward the well
fare of San Diego county or its me-
tropolis.
The history of San Diego in the past
has been the history of the beginning
of things in California, but it has been
slow and indecisive, as all histories are
that depend wholly upon the evolution
of the event The history of the city
and the county as it is being wrought
today is a record of Individual effort
and community enterprise working to
speedy results. The history of this
city in the future will be wholly based
on what is being now accomplished,
and it may be predicted that when it
is written by some historian of the
next generation it will chronicle the
splendid accomplishni ient of men whose
first purpose vas the civic welfare of
the community and whose sole desire
was to leave it better than they
found it,
