will be charged with insincerity In
his campaign pledges IL he does not
act az their behest at this moment
The presumption with which these
newspapers attempt TO speak for the
people OF Michigan is the most i'm
pudent piece of arrogance and pre-
tense that has been witnessed In the
state In many month.
In being moved to sympathy for
the desperate characters who would
not even have been subjected to the

counsel prevailed in the adoption or
the Ogg anticorporal punishment bill

Warden Russell and the entire Mar
quette prison board evidently over
looked the anguish. the suffering and
the misery that these men have
caused others. Had they had before

crimes committed. possibly they
might have experienced revulsion
of sentiment that would have pre-

and Senator Townsend have each in

this bi-pestiferous combination, all
because they have not interpreted

according to the GOSPEL OF Messrs.
Stair and Mcmillan. II Is a far cry
from Fred NJ. Warner TO Chase s. Os-
