San Francisco, June 16.-"Tex'
Rickard, Jack Gleason, and other
fight promoters are all up in the
air in regard to holding the big
fight in Frisco on the Fourth,
This morning. Rickard was very
belligerent and declared that if the
attorney general secured an injunc-
ton tomorrow he would fight the
case in the courts, and would also
bring suit Tor heavy damages
against Gov. Gillett.
He was braced up by the advice
of his attorneys, who declared
there was no legal way for the gov
ernor or the attorney general to
stop the fight.
His lawyers advised him that
the court viii not grant an injunc-
ion against the contest for the
simple reason that all provisions
have been complied with.
"Tax~ RICHARD GLOOMY.
This afternoon. however. Rickard had
a change of heart. The iron had evident
ly entered his soul. and he feels a pre-
monltion Of defeat. He said. very gloom
fly. that he would abide by the decision
Of the court tomorrow. II an injunction
against holding the Langford- Kaufman
fight was granted, then he would make
immediate arrangements to remove the
scene Of the big fight TO Nevada
Salt Lake is out OF the question because
Gov. Spry, Of Utah. IS strongly opposed
TO fights, and to-day he reiterated his
previous statement that the fight should
not take place in Utah The proposition
70 hold the fight just over the border line |
in Nevada. 10 miles from Salt Lake. is
also absurd. as that would mean a te- !
dious ride Of three or four hours TO the /
scene Of the battle and return at night, /
with possible congestion Of the railroad /
line that would prevent half the visitors /
from ever reaching the ringside.
The governors attitude on the fight is
the most important consideration. and
that is uncompromising. Gov Gillett said
to-day that he had not changed his opigE
ion since he issued his letter to the at
torney general. and ali arguments OF pro-
mOters. hotelkeepers. and others had no
weight with him. He declares absolutely

The governor was told that the fight
promoters were laboring under the i'm
preston that if the courts did not pre-
vent the fight arrests would net be made
until after the pugilistic battle was over.
He was asked il it would not be his
duty as he construes it under the law,

RENO MAY GET FIGHT.

San Francisco, June 16.-Late to-
night Tex Rickard practically de-
cided that the fight would be taken
TO Reno. he said: Unless I can
secure some assurance from the
attorney general that the fight will
not be interfered with, I shall take
II TO Reno. l shall not undertake
10 carry on a legal fight over the
matter. and I cant proceed with
my fight preparations while this
uncertainty prevails. Reno seems
to be the best If not the only
available place.

The effective way TO prevent a thor
ough cleanup would be not to elect
him and indeed failure to elect him
would be genuine calamity from the
standpoint Of good citizenship. Mr..
Townsend's attitude on the railroad
rate legislation Is sufficient proof Of
the desirability Of sending him to the
senate, and this can only be done by
voting for the republican candidates
for the legislature. Michigan repub-
leans have nominated two progress
sive candidates and 1t is imperative
that they give them aggressive sup.
port at the polls. (Signed)

WILLIAM A. SMITH LAUDS OSBORN
HONOR AND CREDIT.
Senator Smith Pays High Tribute to
Mr.. Osborn.

William Alden Smith, soon-to-be
senior senator OF Michigan, like the
distinguished Republican candidate
for governor, Is newspaper man. He
is not the only editor in the senate
chamber, however, for there are many
scribes at present In that distinguish
ed body, among whom can be named
Shively OF Indiana and Bristow OF
Kansas; and La Toilette, one OF the
great leaders OF the progressive wing
of the Republican party. was once the
publisher of weekly paper. William
Alden Smith holds q degree Of master
of arts, which was awarded him by
Dartmouth college. He Is an eloquent
orator, and delivered the opening ad-
dress OF the Republican state conven-
ton at Detroit. Senator Smith Is q
great admirer OF Chase S. Osborn.
and In his speech before the conven-
ton he said:
Our state has never experienced u
more prolonged and animated contest
for the gubernatorial nomination than
the one through which we have just
passed. Out of a field singularly APP
propriate, in contest at times lurid
and sensational, has come candi-
date of unusual proportions. whose fit
ness for leadership is barren Of con-
lecture or chance. Never In the his
tory of our commonwealth have we
called to the head OF the column a
man OF more or finer parts. lllumin-
ating as a star, this brilliant scholar,
author, traveller and man of affairs
will bring dignity and character to
the executive ONCE and invest the
governorship with new meaning In
state affairs. lowering it with an
equipment as practical as it is extra
ordinary.
November will see him in tho pilot
house, clearing the decks for action,
and Governor Osborn will bring
nothing but credit and honor to us
ALL"
Speaking OF and for the new tarin
measure, the senator said:
THE new tariff law has been the
object of much unjust criticism and
Misrepresentation. Much or the dis
content has come from those who
leave the country when the ship OF
state wrestles hardest with the bill.

CHASE S. 0SBORN'S RECORD

Reference to the records OF our
state in connection with the railroad
commissioner department show that
moro was accomplished during the
years that Chase 8. Osborn was state
railroad commissioner than during
any other similar period in the his
tory of Michigan
One Of Mr.. Osborn's very first acts
In connection with his desire to throw
every possible safeguard around train.
men and to prevent accidents was to
create a new division OF his depart
ment for the exclusive consideration
Of overhead wire matters.
Through the prompt work OF that
division during the first year OF his
incunbency 1000 wire crossings were
inspected, 5000 OF which were found
defective and repairs and changes
compelled.
I, From the first day OF his term of
oh1ce as railroad commissioner, until
his last hour OF service, Chase 8. Os-
born was constant In his efforts to re-
@uire the separation OF grades for
railroads and this effort extended to
electric roads and street railroads and
wherever possible to highway cross
ings.
There Is absolutely no way to ado
quately protect life and property al
railroad crossings except by separa.
ton OF grades" he declared. and on
that declaration was based an activ'
ity such as Mr.. Osborn always gives
to matters concerning which he Is
thoroughly in earnest.
In one year he secured separation
Of grades Mt twenty-three different
points, accomplishing more In that
direction during that one year than
had been accomplished during all the
previous history Of our state.
IL II also true that more was ct
fected through Mr.. Osborn's efforts In
The way OF securing the adoption oil
: railroad safety appliances than had
been brought about through all past
years..
Through Commissioner Osborn's Of
forts in the matter of requiring al
that was due to the state In cases Of
doubt and controversy. extra receipts
for the state treasury from railroad
taxes were secured to an amount In
oxooaa Of the entire cost OF maintain

HERE'S A RECORD.
Lawton e. Hemaus Did Some THINGS
hut 2

II is worthy of note in this cam.
paign that Lawton T.. Hemans. thei
Democratic candidate for governor, ist
making no reference to his own OFF
fetal record. Not word has he utt
tered touching his oficial PERFORM
ances or attempted accomplishmentsJ
Yet Mr.. Hemans was on the salary
list through two full terms as leg3
islator. He was not present at morcS
than half the sessions of the body tot
which he belonged. but he drew PAY
for full time.
He introduced bill to provide foa
an additional state board. But as q.
candidate for governor he is now de-
bouncing the existence Of 80 many
state boards.
Mr. Hemans introduced bill tnf
license bucketshops In Michigan. 1tf
bill sought to make tho pretendea
sales and purchases through buckets
shops Legitimate legal transactions,
What the people OF Michigan thinks
of the bucketshop business which,
would have been licensed and legal
lied II the Democratic candidate foft
governor had secured the passage OF
his bill Is shown by the fact that au
the next session of the legislature fol-
lowing his effort bill entirely pro-
hibiting the existence of bucketshops
in Michigan became law.
Mr.. Hemans Is now seemingly dis@
tressed over state expenditures, butt
he voted for moro appropriation bilhs
/ than any other member OF the legisla-
ture during his terms OF service. and
afterwards made an address In the
constitutional convention declaring
that 1t was not true that Michignn
LEGISLATORS had ever made extravaganza,
appropriations.
AS a member OF the constitutional
convention Mr. Hemans opposed the
proposition that the legislature on
Michigan should have power to enact
laws relative to the hours and condif
lions under which women and chtk
dren may be employed.
This proposition was cspeciaIfD
urged by the labor organizations on
Michigan. They petitioned that thss
constitution should give this power
to the legislature. And tho Justice OF
the request was recognized by the
majority Of the members of the con-
stitutional convention. II was adopted
by the constitutional convention ana
later on was approved by the people
and is now q part OF our state con-
stitution.
But Lawton T. Hemans made =
speech against 1t, sneeringly referrina
to 1t as "a little piece of sentiment.
Why Ia Mr.. Hemans not referring 10
this feature of his oficial record?
It will DO observed that MI. He
mans has an ofiicial record. He wan
q member of the legislature through
four years. Why does he entirely fai,
to base any claim to favor from thA
people OF Michigan on the work ~
performed or attempted to perform
as supposed representative of tina
people? 4

THE Constitution provides for two
houses OF Congress. one to be COM
posed OF members elected directly by
the people and the other of members
elected by the state legislatures. This
provision was inserted by the fathers
because OF their doubt OF the peoples
ability to absolutely control their own
affairs. It was thought that q few
legislators could better select dignified
and conservative senators than could
the people. and that the state was
something different and apart from
the people. I believe that we have
progressed far enough In popular gov.
eminent and in general intelligence 20
make II safe for the people to select
their representatives In both branches
Of Congress. ! also believe that direct
responsibility to the people 10 more
conducive to wise and beneficial iegis-
iation than responsibility to state
legislators, whose tenures of Office are
short and whose responsibilities are
limited.
This is q representative form Of
government, in theory a government
