FALSE AND UNWORTHY
NEWSPAPER METHODS

The people of Michigan as rule
are in favor of fair play. They are
divided of course as to political parties
and as to candidates, but by far the
greater number of the people of this
section and of the state as whole will
look with adherence upon the desperate
efforts that are being made by two
Detroit newspapers, the Free Press and
the Journal to discredit the Republican
candidate for governor through news.
paper stories that cannot claim the
slightest relation of the truth.
The Detroit Free Press stated a few
days ago that Mr., Osborn was in Detroit

pose of calling on saloon keepers and

story included the names of certain
persons on whom Mr.. Osborn was said
to have called, and related converse.
tions supposed to have taken place.
Now the truth is that Mr.. Osborn
was not in Detroit at all on the day
mentioned, nor the day before
nor the day after. He was in
IOnia county throughout that day un.
til late at night. The writer of the
Free Press article knew that Mr.. Os.
born was not in Detroit that day, but
he also knew that any such statements
however false and detestable they
might be, would be eagerly taken and
well displayed by the Free Press man
agement
The Detroit Journal drew upon its
hate and its Imagination for different
story in which Mr.. Osborn was suppos
ed to figure in Detroit, while in fact he
was many miles from that city and not
in any way. related to the incidents told
of in the article. This is the sort of
misrepresentation and character assas-
ination through which the attempt is
being made to again elect Democratic
governor in Michigan.
In every issue of these two Detroit
papers statements are being made that
have no relation to the truth nor any
reason for publication other than the
malignant opposition to Mr.. Osborn of
the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit
Journal ownership. This sort Of jour.
nalism is not only disgrace to our
state but 1t ls an unworthy betrayal of
the readers OF these papers.
it will not be in accordance with the

newspapers referred to does not only

A Talk On Florida

On Monday evening last in the neigh.
borhood of seventy-five citizens from
Yale and surrounding country gathered
at the city hall and listened attentively
to two hour talk on Florida by II. ;
Hallman of Berlin, Canada.
Mr.. Hallman is president of the
Florida Colonization Co. Ltd. of Berlin,
Canada and Garden City, Fla gIis
company has large tract of land in
the highlands of west Florida, and in
his two hour talk he explained the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of Florida.
Having visited most sections of that
state he is posted on the condition of
the soil, the climate, etc, in each section.
Mr.. Hallman's explanation Of what had
been done in the way of raising fruits,
nuts and garden truck and what can be
done in the future by men who have a
little means and care to work as hard
in that state as they have in Michigan,
was most interesting and instructive.
Every person present pronounced the
meeting successful and many declared
they had learned more of Florida than
they had ever dreamed of.
