OSBORN SAYS
NATION LOOKS
TO MICHIGAN
Republican Candidate Declares
Well-Meaning Democrats
Have Failed
SPEAKS TO BIG HAND
AT COMMERCE. BOARD
Enthusiastic Reception Is Given
To the Gubernatorial
Candidate

Citing the prophecy OF Thomas Bah
ington Macauley. the great English
critic OF the previous century, who
said that the danger to the national
life OF the United States came from
within itself and not from forces out
side, Chase s. Osborn. at big noon
day dinner at the Board OF Commerce,
appealed to)the business men OF De-
troit to exercise their right OF ballot
at the coming election and do their
part In giving the state and city the
sort OF government they should have.
"You men understand the condi-
tons In this state and In Detroit bet.
ter than the rank and file." said Mr..
Osborn. "Your powers OF reasoning
and understanding are highly deyei-
oped. You have greater opportunity
TO master the problems Of govern
ment and just so much more should
you show your appreciation by exer-
cising your right 10 vote and doing
your share In the furtherance OF good
government
The rank and file will vote largely
oy iustlnCt anu our Bicotcot PhAo
pliers tell us that instinct seldom
fails. Now then. with you using your
reasoning and the thousands their
God given instinct. don't believe we
need worry about the result"
Mr.. Osborn attacked the Wilson ad-
ministration. He declared the Dem
ocratic party to be failure as rui.
ing power. He credited 1t with good
intentions, but said II lacked expert
ence. He contributed our present
business troubles to Democratic IN
efficiency. He named the Republican
party as the party schooled In the art
Of government, and the only vehicle
by which prosperity could be OBJ
tanned. He pleaded for support OF the
Republicans at the state election on
the ground that the party birthplace
was Michigan. and that the entire ma
ton looked to Michigan this fall to
see whether the party Of Lincoln,
Mckinley and prosperity. would be
repudiated by the state OF Its birth.
Mr.. Osborn was warmly greeted by
the 500 members who attended the
dinner, and his remarks were e..
Enthusiastically received.

ROBERT H. WRIGHT"

An appeal 10 the ministers OF tn,
state to voice protest against the
election OF the booze-picked Demo
cratic candidates has been sent out by
Grant NJ. Hudson, superintendent OF
the Michigan Anti-Saloon league,
Mr.. Hudson. In his appeal to the
pastors. says:
Dear Brother and Fellow-Work-
|er: The October American Issue for
Michigan said, IL IL shall appear
during the closing days of this i'm
portanr campaign that the liquor
vote Is headed toward any one of
these candidates. then the Anti-Sa-
loon voter will head the other way
and vote for one of the other two
THE situation has developed In
the past week 30 that today we see
the liquor interests Of the state not
only solidly backing one candidate
for governor but insisting on the
election of governor, lieutenant-gov-
ernor and secretary of state. This
and the~mo vicious at that. Shall
the citizenship OF the state stand for
the domination of the government
by these allied interests OF liquor
dom? Every city, every village,
every hamlet has been visited by the
liquor interest and the trade has
been appealed to to stand for the
first three names ON the Democratic
ticket -What shall Christian mem
what shall free men do under such
conditions? VIII you not send out
clear, clarion call from your pull
pit the coming Sunday? Gov. Fer
ris may not be responsible for the
liquor interests picking him up as
their candidate. but being their can
didate and unrebuked by him, can
he hope for the vote OF dry men?
Last Sunday the liberal league
representatives of the state held a
meeting in Grand Rapids and en-
dorsed Ferris for governor, Beach
for acknowledgements, and Nc
Manus for secretary Of state.
This surely ts not a question OF
party politics, but one OF clean de-
cent citizenship against amalgamat-
ed, organized vice. This is the bus
mess OF the Kingdom, and you can
do nothing OF greater Importance
than to call the attention of your
fellow pastors and your own people
10 this situation Will you do IL?
We have not time to write TO every
pastor in the state. but send this 10
you praying for your cooperation in
this matter. Yours for service"

Make Souvenirs from
Copper Tower of Towns
Church Ruined by Fire


The Misses Susan, May and Lilly
Clark, of Orange road, Montclair,
members of the First Congregational
Church, of that place, some time ago
visited the ruins of the church edifice
that was destroyed by fire They dis
covered a quantity of copper with
which the spire was sheathed, lying
among the debrio. II wonder if
souvenirse of the church could be
made of some of that "copper"" said
one of the young women. They were
told to help themselves. With the
assistance of H. G. Nash, of Monta-
que place. the copper was straighten-
ed out into sheets.
The copper was taken TO this city
where IL was cut into round trays
about six inches In diameter. They
were then hand etched by Mr.. Nash
with an artistic wreath. in the cen
tire of which is inscribed in old Eng
lish lettering: "This plate was made
of the copper taken from the ruins
of the First congregational Church
tower, which was destroyed by fire
on Friday evening, March 20, 1914
The young women are selling the
trays for a dollar apiece, for the BEN
eft of the building fund of the
church. They have already sold the
fifty that were made up and have
copper enough left to make 100 more,
which will be prepared at once.

NEIL O'MAHONEY
PLACED ON TRIAL
FOR CONSPIRACY
Bayonne Politician Is Charged
With Falsely Using Nat
uraIization Certificate.

Charged with conspiracy to forge a
naturalization certificate, Neil O'Ma-
honey, of Bayonne, candidate for re-
corder there, was placed on trial tc-
day in the local branch of the United
States District Court before Judge
John Rellstab. O.Mahoney insisted
on his case going to trial during this
term of court He is a candidate for
recorder in Bayonne. He declared he
wanted the matter settled so that he
can make the political fight with a
clean slate.
Michael Selcow. saloonkeeper of
Bayonne. is charged jointly with
O'Mahoney in the conspiracy indiet-
ment. The two were charged origi-
nally with forging the certificate.
Later an Indictment on that charge
against them was quashed and a new
one charging them with conspiracy
was found. At the same time an in
dictment was entered against James
r. O'Mara, the naturalization clerk.
charging him with forging the de-
fective certificate.
The certificate on which the indict-
ments are based was made out in be-
half of Peter Buda. of Bayonne. now
deceased
O'Mara was one of the chief wit
ness for the government today. He
declared that in November, 1912,
O'Mahoney came to his office and
asked If he could get a temporary
naturalization certificate for a friend.
O'Mara said that O'Mahoney .ex-
planned that the friend had his first
papers and was about to apply for his
finals. 1t. was represented to him,
O'Mara said, that the friend needed
the papers Immediately so that he
could bring his family to this coun-
try. The friend. O'Mara said, was
Peter Buda, of Austria
O'Mara testified that he could issue
the certificate providing that O'Ma-
honey would guarantee to destroy or
return 1t after 1t had served its pur-
pose. The witness then said that the
defendant agreed to see that this was
done.
O'Mara testified he then took one OF
the certificates signed in blank by
John Rotterdam, former county
clerk, and made this out for Buda.
The certificate was dated June %,
1905, or six years back. That was
when Mr.. Rotterdam was county
clerk. The blank spaces were filed
in and the certificate was given to
O'Mahoney, O'Mara said.
1t is claimed that O'Mahoney gave
1t to Selcow, who in turn gave it to
Buda.
