GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Oct. IL
Especial lin the speeches OF his As

lican gubernatorial candidate. charged
Gov. Ferris with accepting $40 per

ed Gov. Ferris In this respect to Will
liam ]. Bryan, who has been widely
criticized for giving Cnatauqua lee
lures for large sums while drawing
mis- salary as secretary OF state.

anything Intentionally criminal to the
governors act In accepting $40 per

for the state.
Mr.. Osborn succeeded In awakening
much enthusiasm In Kent county, and
his supporters there declare that MS
speeches have done much TO over
come the passive opposition OF Mayor
z. Ellis who has been very much
peeved because the Osbornites OF
Grand Rapids have continued to ig-
more him. II II rumored that Mr.. FL

candidacy OF Mr.. Osborn and this Is
borne out by the fact that he sat In
the front row at the Grand Rapids
banquet Monday evening. Several OF

Mr.. Osborn to Holland where he
spoke in the Knickerbocker theater
Monday night.

ues to hammer at the waste, extrava-
gance. Incompetence and idleness" Of
the Ferris administration. He smiles
pleasantly when making his most
forceful assaults upon HIS opponent
and carefully avoids giving the Inn
preston that his feeling contains the
least bitterness. BY these methods
he Is making very strong impression
on the voters.

Better Than Osborn's
Speeches, Replies Ferris

IONA. Mich, Oct. 2l.-(Special)-
In his address to large crowd at the
Ionia armory, Tuesday night, Gov.
Ferris answered the accusation made
against him by Chase 8. Osborn that
he was making ChautauQua lectures
and teachers institute secures for
pay while acting as governor. by say.
ing that the charge that he made
Chautauqua lectures Ia al unqualified
misstatement. Gov. Ferris said that
he did deliver some teachers insti-
tute lectures last January and Febru-
AIRY and received $40 for each lecture,
but that he had contracted to deliver
them before elected governor and
was merely carrying out his contract
with the institute.
IL am glad that lectured at these
Institutes" said Gov. Ferris. II much
prefer to do II any time than to make
political speeches. denouncing oppon-
en.s and making accusations. Fur.
thermore my lectures were worth
more TO the state than the political
spe eches Mr.. Osborn IL making. II
a governor never does anything worse
than making educational addresses,
do not think he VIII create trouble"
Governor Ferris scored Mr.. Osborn
for refusing the Michigan Agrfcnltur,

improvements and additional build

was governor and explained In defail
why the large appropriations for these
Institutions. made during HIS admin

LANSING, Mich. Oct. 21.-(Spe-
ciaD-It Is expected that an attempt
will be made during the next session
OF the legislature to strengthen the
states arson laws. During the past
two years "a persons have been ar
rested on charges Of arson and the
state fire marsheys department has
been unable to s&s6le conviction in
any one instance. The reason given
for the failures is that there are too
many loopholes In the laws relative
to arson. In several cases persons
have made confessions to prosecuting
attorneys and later been acquitted OF
arson charges.
