Gov. Eberhardt Of Minnesota, who

overzealous friends. Just now he is
making an attempt IN secure some

held in St Paul in September. He Is
fearful that the program as at pres
ent made up is too partisan and that
the real purpose Of the Congress will
be sacrificed to the contention between
the Ballinger and Pinchot interests.
There is a growing belief that an eff
fort is being made TO capitalize the
national interest in the preservation
Of resources for policical purposes, and
that men rather than principles are
the real stakes. Sincere friends Of the
movement have scented the danger
and realize how easy It will be to
drive the whole conservation plan on
the rocks Of factlonal politics.

ment was voted by the grand jury
against John T.. MalOy 1901 sixty
third street proprietor of a grocery
and market, on charge of attempt

the Jurors who tried Browne.
While states Attorney Wayman was
reHccnt in discussing the matter, 1t
was said by several of his assistants
that the indictment against Maloy is
forcrunner of sweeping grand jury
action against a number of persons
concerning whom evidence has been
secured i'm connection with attempts to

Maloy is accused of cndeavoring to
induce Morford's wife to urge him to
vote for Brownies acquittal. M9rford
was one of the Jurors who voted CON
tinuously to convict the state legis-
lator. The INDICTMENT was voted up
on testimony given by Mr.. and Mrs,
Morford and Thorough G. Morford'
father of the juror.
Mrs. Morford's statements TO the
grand jury, according to Assistant
states Attorney Marshall, was IN sub
stance as follows:
ION the Saturday after The jury
was impaneled in the Browne case |
went to the grocery of John r. Maloy
ait East Sixty-thi street and Wash
ington avenue. Maloy mentioned the
fact that my husband was a member
of the jury and gave me two cigars to
give to him. Then he asked me to tell
my husband to vote for Brownies ac-
quittal and to hold out TO the end. lie

bands ear while | was talking to him
some time during the trial.
ION the following Monday, went
into the grocery store again and Ma

said nothing about this conversation
until the jury in the bribery trial had
been discharged. Then " told my
husband about the matter"
Morford's father said Maloy inform
ed him his son could get bunch of
money" by voting for Brownies ac-
quittal, and that he was sorry he had
not seen him before he was chosen as
a member of the jury.
State Attorney Wayman first
learned of the alleged attempt to cor
rupt Morford through neighboIhood
gossip. He went to the Morford resi-
dence in his automobile Tuesday

place the entire matter before the
grand jury. Morford subsequently
was summoned to the prosecutors Of
flee and told of the latter's intentions.
Morford IT is said, at first dcmurred

piled. Things will be humming in

cured shows that Maloy wanted Mrs.

out for acquittal."

Chase :. Osborn. candidate for gov
ernor. has begun speaking tour OF
the lower peninsula Of Michigan In
which he expects 10 visit every coun-
". meet the people and discuss his
views on state government.
We believe that the more the peo-
pie OF Michigan see OF Chase Osborn,
the better they will like him. Mr. Os-
born has many characteristics which
endear him TO every class Of people.
First Of these is his broad human
sympathy developer in the school Of
hard knocks, when he was poor
printer sticking type for a living.
Chase Osborn is man Of the people
and OF this there is no better evidence
than the enthusiastic affection in
(which he is held by all who know him
and those who know him best like
him best. He is the warm hearted,
whole-souled friend of every man H.
meets
Second, he has a magnetic, convin-
cling manner which captures his audi
ences and holds them. Brilliant, witty,
versatile he sways and convinces. not
by the force OF his eloquence alone
but by his frankness and fearfulness.
F'rankness is one Of Chase Osborn's
trong points. So long as the people
prefer absolute frankness, to the art
full subtcrfuge of the politician, so
long will Chase Osborn have strong
hold on their affections.
Third. Chase Osborn stands for econ
omy in state expenditures. Within
the last few years, Michigan has wit
messed such an increase i'm expenses
and multiplication of unnecessary
boards as astounds the average citi-
zen. OF what advantage is an increase
Of taxation of corporations whether
railroads or mines, If instead of dim
inishIng the tax levied upon the farm
or, merchant ana laborer it only fur
nishes funds for increased eXpendit-
ures. What the people seem to de-
mand at this time is the election OF
governor who, while maintaining the
dignity of that high office. and exert
ing his influence TO put Michigan in
the front rank i'm all lines of real pro-
gress, is absolutely pledged to rigid
economy, TO a lessened rate of gener-
al taxation. to the appointment of
men to office for their efficiency, not
because they will make convenient
cogs in a great machine.
outside Chase Osborn what candl-
date for governor promises Michigan
any relief from present conditions?

One OF the first stops made by Mr..
Osborn on his campaign tour through
the lower peninsula was at Pressure
lie. H. II. Whitley. editor OF the
News makes the following comment
on Mr.. -Osborn's visit:
Hon. Chase s. Osborn, candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Governor, stepped unostentatiously
from the train last Friday afternoon
and In his short stay OF two hours
had won the united friendship and
support OF our community.
While his coming had been known
only a day ahead and suitable ar
rangements for his reception were
impossible on such short notice, new
ertheless considerable number
greeted him and listened to a fine
address on good citizenship Mr.. Os-
born has that magnetic personality
which enables him to gain the favor
of his audience and carry them with
him TO the end.
He impresses everyone with his
square toed sincerity. He does not
mince matters. He defines his posi-
ton on every question in such a way
as leaves no doubt as to Just where
he stands. He does not endeavor 70
give an answer that will please both
sides.
His brilliant intellectual talents and
his literary and oratorical ability
mark him at once as a gentleman
who would give to the gcernor's chair
an atmosphere Of culture which would
be most fitting. The Office would be
an honor to the man and the man
would be an honor to the Office.

"The boys OF 'sS" take exception to
the criticism emanating from the press
bureau OF II. O. Young OF the war
record Of Angus w Kerr, OF Calumet
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton at the September primaries for
congressman from this district in op-
position to Mr. Young OF Ishpeming.
The News believes they have good
reason to be indignant. We have look
ed carefully into Mr.. Kerrs record as
a volunteer and find it entirely to his
credit.
Mr. Young's advertising agent en-
deavors to make political capital for
Mr. Young out of the fact that Mr..
Kerr was on recruiting duty instead OF
being with his company during a GER
tain period. However, judging from
the sentiment such criticism has
created. Mr. Young has gained no new
support because of it, but has injected
bitterness Of a personal nature into
the campaign which is likely to re-
dound to his discredit. That an in
justice has been done Mr.. Kerr is evil
dent. and it is the desire OF The News
to make this fact plain inasmuch as it
believes in fair play, even in poll
tics.
Mr.. Kerr was honored by being sig
nailed out for recruiting duty, as it
was usually customary to send com
missioned officers. He was a corporal
lie was recommended because Of his
fitness for the work, and he did that
work well. Mr.. Kerr was "only a vol
unteer' but as a volunteer he en-
listed because he wanted to serve his
country. He was not in the militia
when the war broke out, and as Col.
Thielman Of Calumet said In an inter-
view with The News, published yes
terday Mr.. Kerr pushed himself into
the ranks and is entitled to as much
credit as the men already in the mill
tia who went to the front.
In his campaign for the congression-
al nomination, Mr.. Kerr stands on a
progressive--Republiesn platform, and
the cordial reception he is receiving
shows his attitude on the questions OF
the day is a popular one. His meth
DDS Of campaigning, too, are above

Now that Congressman Loud has
succeeded in getting his bill through
congress, providing for the raising Of
the Maine. which now lies in Havana
harbor with the bodies Of those who
went down with IT, the question Of
methods OF accomplishing the work
Is giving the engineers some trouble.
They find that the task is no simple
one and it Is possible that it will not
be completed so speedily as was
hoped.
Questions Of methods, however are
necessarily OF a technical character
that belongs to the government en-
gineers. The Maine should be re-
moved from Havana Harbor and to
this end the measure OF Congressman
Loud was designed TO provide the
necessary means. In case the APP
preparation Is found TO be insufficient
congress will probably make up what
ever is needed to complete the work
thus ensuring the removal of the
hulk and the providing Of a decent
burial In government cemetery for
those OF the crew who met deaths so
unexpectedly on that fateful morning
shortly before the opening of the war
with Spain.
