query, which came 10 him In ahony-
nous form before he opened 81 Jo-
seph county's fall campaign IN an out
door speech last night.
MIR. Osborn declai ed that Mr.. he
mans had ample opportunity 10 AS
sert his intentions in the reform hhe
during his two terms as member OF
the state legislature He added that
such q drowsy and unconcerned rec
ord as Mr. Hemans had established
while In power in Lansing. might DC
taken as a criterion for the future,
providing he is ever again granted an
opportunity TO reform all Michigan
Osborn repeatedly announced that
the Democratic nominee was purpose
ly distorting his statements and stat,
istics. to put the Republican party ana
its state candidate In bad light. VI
Is the same old policy that the Demo
Gratis have always followed he SAID.
"Tbey are continually finding tauu
with things they have only half IN
vestieated In addition they fail TO
announce a cure for such Ills.
The sneaker repeated his announce
ment that he would remove every
unworthy, unfit office-holder IN .ne
state house II elected and ADDED ina.
he would introduce legislation tha'
would put all telephone. Telegraph,
electric light and power ana gas com
panies under the jurisdiction OF 'he
state railroad commission we NO"
have fair railroad rates. why not nave
lust rates from all other pubic ser
vice utilities he said.
Mr.. Osborn added that he intended
TO force every steam ana eiectric
railroad in the state TO use nothing
but coaches constructed entirely OF
steel as a safe guard for the lives OF
passengers. He also repeated MS
promise 10 continue still farther the

elected he will force the state mining
corporations TO pay just taxes
uueried the speaker. Every voter In
the state must know. IL he will stop
to think OF what said in my primary
campaign speeches, that | promised
TO force equal taxation throughout
the entire state. This not only In
cluded the mine owners and their
mines but every taxpayer In the
state, be he large OF small.
He has merely picked out the min
ing properties and their owners 10
use as an example because | make my
home in one OF the cities OF the
northern peninsula, ii is mean and
low of any man to try to introduce
sectional strife and class hatred
when We are all pulling so hard for a
united, better and grander Michigan
cannot help but lose my respect for
a man who will stoop to such tactics
merely to gain a few votes for him
