LANSING. Mich., Nov. 25 Lawtou T. Homan*, th** Democratic candidate for governor Jurlng the recent cam- paign. who made such a remarkabm shoeing, has Issued a statement In which he says that "Gov. \\ aruer a j weakness »al noticeable especially where he U best knowu." and proves that Gov. Warner was elected by the I saloon Interests. Mr. llemans also gives out a letter and circular which (were Issued by the liquor interests In | which lleiuans is attacked. Mr. Hemana letter follows: To the People of Michigan: As the candidate of the Democratic party for the office of governor at the recent election. I ile»lr« to proffer my 1 thank a to the member* of my party and Ito the more than 70.000 Republicans who Joined with theqi i>> expreaa I through their ballot* a Je*lre for a change of conditions In Michigan. 1 Knowing a* Ido the atrer.gin of party | loyalty, the fa-’t that go large a num- | bet of Republican* were w illing to I give me their vote*, I construe a* a moat impressive commendation of the Democrat! po»ltlon In state affair*, and a protest .gainst the n.en who now control the ..■•tints* of the Republican party In Michigan more emphatic than my etc*-tlon would have been had there I t ten not t i exceed 75.000 or 100,000 Republican majority In the state To the published statement of th* govei nor to the effect that he was made , the object of unjuat and untruthful 1 charges. I can only answer that th# vote against hlin was the largest In ! the counties nearest his home and where I the people knew him best. If In this connsctlon I may presume to utter words of defense of the thousands of 1 Republicans who cast their ballots for me from the charge brought against them that In so voting they were giving I expression of sentiments of r**actlon- i art and machine politics. I would call attention to the fact that the unprece- dented 15.000 plurality with which I went to the Strain of Mackinac waa In no part drawn from the localities where machine politics have heretofore been supposed to exert a very potent sway. Net Machine Elemeat. Surely, the patriotic cltiaens and good Republican* of Hillsdale. Kalama- xoo. Clinton, Gratiot and Shiawassee, and the 2t> or more countte* which In their cities and township* returned me pluralities are hardly to be listed among th* machine element, while the ountles of Huron. Tuscola Bani!ac. St. Clair and the upper peninsula, which gave the governor four times the plu- rality by which he now claims his elec- tion. are to pass as the communities freest from machine dictation. The upper peninsula alone gave the gover- nor three times his present claimed plu- rality In the state. But even here the more than 4,000 votes that ihe governor ran behind Mr. Taft can hardly be said to be of th* dissatisfied machine ele- ment, for the majority In the upper peninsula is now and always has been the product of the most unscrupulous political oligarchy that ever existed within the state. The truth Is that In the primaries and at the election the overbalancing majority, to the extent of many thou- sands. was furnished by the men of the upper peninsula who vote under prac- tical direction, and many oi whom to- day could not tell for whom they voted for governor. But even the solid. Inert and deliverable vote of the distant north would have been. In this Instance, insufficient to overbear the vote of the southern counties but for the as- sistance rallied from the liquor Inter- ests of the state, through the Intrigues of an unscrupulous coterie of Repub- lican politicians. That the Democratic party and the more than 79,000 Republicans who voted for bbtter conditions In Michigan may know the thing that in the last hours of the campaign rendered Ineffec- tual their patriotic efforts. I d*-*lr** to submit some of the proofs of this asser- tion. Asa member of the recent con- stitutional convention I made some re- marks In that body against the provis- ion to prohibit the liquor traffic. I tried to approach the subject In a spirit of fairness. I was induced to take my stand against the prohibitory clause by a study of the legislative experience of the state In dealing with the subject; by a consideration of the vested inter- ests involved: by the elements of our population, and by the further fact that I |io not believe that the adoption or rejection of the constitution us a whole should he complicated by this one provision From the remarks I made at that time the appended circular was com- piled bv W. C. Manchester, of Detroit. Republican politician and attorney for the Michigan Rtat** Brewers' associa- tion. and Arthur Darmstaetter, likewise Republican politician and secretary of the same association, as well as presi- dent of the recently mated salonnlsls' bonding company, known as the Michi- gan Bonding te Security Cos nnd chair- man of the state central committee of the K Y. M 8 club I m.»v also add that among the officers of the two lat- ter organizations appears the name of one John Mohn. ns assistant superin- tendent of agencl. s t«r the first and organizer for the latter. Circular Is Mailed. Here is the circular; Lxlracts from speech on the liquor traffic, delivered by T. He- man*. Democratic candidate for gov- ernor, in the constitutional convention at Lansing. Mich. (Recorded on pugts 1111-11J7, procedlngs and debate*). Ling years ago 1 ceased to have any friendship for litis tiafflc. which ha* been a withering hliglt wherever it has touched civiliza- tion. if we can devise some way by which this proposition can be sub- mitted us an Independent proposi- tion, I am r cadv to vote now for the submission of that qu’-tlon to the people. la-t us not toy with what may !>*• termed a compromise, a recognition of the traffic by way of regulation. Let u* first secure tire adoption of the const it utlon and tii»n. with :% united front, tin* tern- peran* e people of the state of Michigan <ali force the Issue and fight out tiie question of prohibi- tion upon Its own merits to Its final and ultimate con* lu*lon. I would rather feel that the fa< ts w.-re such In Ml* Mg an as to warrant the belief .uni force the conviction that if we submit this do* intent with prohibition In It It Would receive the support of the e|e, (orate of this slat*- If we In- Hud*- prohibition In this document, and It fd'otjld fall of adoption, we 1 ave put ba< k the < h .-*•■ of temper- | ar»< *• by more than a de. rde; and *<o I hhv it Is the part of wisdom for this convention to hesitate be. fore the member* are carried away l»y their enthusiasm, by consider©* i whal ild by I local papers Into taking a step that will not redound to the ad- vancement of this cause so vital I to th* welfare an*! well-being, not only of uur own firesides, but the gnat stale of Michigan. This circular w.u* printed ami copies j mailed v. i y early in the campaign by Mr. Maticlu ster ami Mr. -Darmstaetter t>> on* or more retail liquor dealers in every considerable town in nearly every county of the state. I was soon apprised that the circular was known **> every dealer throughout the slat* ' I need not add that the circular could not haye been sent out to promote my poltth a I fortunes. While early advised of the existence of this clrciilai ami of th** fact that It was doing politi.nl harm. It was well into October before I was able to h«- I certain Its authorship, which I did upon the occasion of a political ad- j -’ress at Vpellantl. where r chan* ed to I meet Jam*-* Ifoch, president of the - Michigan Brewers''association.

Kindly notify in whether Mr. the ————— candidate, for the legisla- ture Is a liberal man or whether he j favors prohibition.

Gov.

Throughout the campaign no person or organization asked rn*- to pledge sup- port to any proposition connected with the liquor question, nor was I pledged support from any organization I have never been a prohibitionist, but I have. In common with w-hat 1 believe to he a majority of the people of Mlcnlgan. rec- ognized some of the great evils pre- i seated by the modern saloon question. T have never been afraid to state what I thought those evils wore and to labo; for the application <>f remedies. The people of Michigan are a fair minded. Just people Every man and everv Interest can receive a path nt hearing, and. In the general averag- . just treatment from them. The forum for the appeal of the man In the brew- ing or any other business ts In the broad, open light of the day. The liquor Interests of Michigan, by con- stituting themselves the arbitrator of elections, by refusing to be bound by the laws that bind the average citizen and business, are Inviting not Justice but punishment. The people of no state will for long tolerate dark-lantern method© in their political affairs; they will nor stand for advantages gained by intrigue and ras- ality; and they will sec to It that an adequate rebuke is administered to the Republican-liquor combine which seeks to defeat men whose only offending Is their promise to live up to their oaths of office.

WARNER ELECTED BY DESPICABLE . METHODS
—LAWTON T. HEMANS.
FOR ASSISTANCE
FROM LIQUOR INTERESTS.
LANSING. Mich., Nov. 25 Lawtou T. Homan*, th** Democratic candidate for governor Jurlng the recent cam- paign. who made such a remarkabm shoeing, has Issued a statement In which he says that "Gov. \\ aruer a
jweakness »al noticeable especially where he U best knowu." and proves that Gov. Warner was elected by the
I saloon Interests. Mr. llemans also gives out a letter and circular which
(were Issued by the liquor interests In | which lleiuans is attacked.
Mr. Hemana letter follows: To the People of Michigan:
As the candidate of the Democratic party for the office of governor at the recent election. I ile»lr« to proffer my
1 thank a to the member* of my party and Ito the more than 70.000 Republicans who Joined with theqi i>> expreaa
I through their ballot* a Je*lre for a change of conditions In Michigan.
1 Knowing a* Ido the atrer.gin of party | loyalty, the fa-’t that go large a num-
| bet of Republican* were w illing to I give me their vote*, I construe a* a moat impressive commendation of the Democrat! po»ltlon In state affair*, and a protest .gainst the n.en who now control the ..•tints* of the Republican party In Michigan more emphatic than my etc*-tlon would have been had there
I t ten not t i exceed 75.000 or 100,000 Republican majority In the state
To the published statement of th* govei nor to the effect that he was made
, the object of unjuat and untruthful 1 charges. I can only answer that th# vote against hlin was the largest In
! the counties nearest his home and where I the people knew him best. If In this connsctlon I may presume to utter words of defense of the thousands of
1 Republicans who cast their ballots for me from the charge brought against them that In so voting they were giving
I expression of sentiments of r**actlon- i art and machine politics. I would call attention to the fact that the unprece- dented 15.000 plurality with which I went to the Strain of Mackinac waa In no part drawn from the localities where machine politics have heretofore been supposed to exert a very potent sway.
Net Machine Elemeat. Surely, the patriotic cltiaens and
good Republican* of Hillsdale. Kalama- xoo. Clinton, Gratiot and Shiawassee, and the 2t> or more countte* which In their cities and township* returned me pluralities are hardly to be listed among th* machine element, while the ountles of Huron. Tuscola Bani!ac.
St. Clair and the upper peninsula, which gave the governor four times the plu- rality by which he now claims his elec- tion. are to pass as the communities freest from machine dictation. The upper peninsula alone gave the gover- nor three times his present claimed plu- rality In the state. But even here the more than 4,000 votes that ihe governor ran behind Mr. Taft can hardly be said to be of th* dissatisfied machine ele- ment, for the majority In the upper peninsula is now and always has been the product of the most unscrupulous political oligarchy that ever existed within the state.
The truth Is that In the primaries and at the election the overbalancing majority, to the extent of many thou- sands. was furnished by the men of the upper peninsula who vote under prac- tical direction, and many oi whom to- day could not tell for whom they voted for governor. But even the solid. Inert and deliverable vote of the distant north would have been. In this Instance, insufficient to overbear the vote of the southern counties but for the as- sistance rallied from the liquor Inter- ests of the state, through the Intrigues of an unscrupulous coterie of Repub- lican politicians.
That the Democratic party and the more than . 79,000 Republicans who voted for bbtter conditions In Michigan may know the thing that in the last hours of the campaign rendered Ineffec- tual their patriotic efforts. I d*-*lr** to submit some of the proofs of this asser- tion. Asa member of the recent con- stitutional convention I made some re- marks In that body against the provis- ion to prohibit the liquor traffic. I tried to approach the subject In a spirit of fairness. I was induced to take my stand against the prohibitory clause by a study of the legislative experience of the state In dealing with the subject; by a consideration of the vested inter- ests involved: by the elements of our population, and by the further fact that I |io not believe that the adoption or rejection of the constitution us a whole should he complicated by this one provision
From the remarks I made at that time the appended circular was com- piled bv W. C. Manchester, of Detroit. Republican politician and attorney for the Michigan Rtat** Brewers' associa- tion. and Arthur Darmstaetter, likewise Republican politician and secretary of the same association, as well as presi- dent of the recently mated salonnlsls' bonding company, known as the Michi- gan Bonding te Security Cos . nnd chair- man of the state central committee of the K Y. M 8 club I m.»v also add that among the officers of the two lat- ter organizations appears the name of one John Mohn. ns assistant superin- tendent of agencl. s t«r the first and organizer for the latter.
Circular Is Mailed. Here is the circular; Lxlracts from speech on the liquor
traffic, delivered by T. He- man*. Democratic candidate for gov- ernor, in the constitutional convention at Lansing. Mich. (Recorded on pugts 1111-11J7, procedlngs and debate*).
Ling years ago 1 ceased to have any friendship for litis tiafflc. which ha* been a withering hliglt wherever it has touched civiliza- tion.
if we can devise some way by which this proposition can be sub- mitted us an Independent proposi- tion, I am r cadv to vote now for the submission of that qu’-tlon to the people. la-t us not toy with what may !>*• termed a compromise, a recognition of the traffic by way of regulation. Let u* first secure tire adoption of the const it utlon and tii»n. with :% united front, tin* tern- peran* e people of the state of Michigan <ali force the Issue and fight out tiie question of prohibi- tion upon Its own merits to Its final and ultimate con* lu*lon.
I would rather feel that the fa< ts w.-re such In Ml* Mgan as to warrant the belief .uni force the conviction that if we submit this do* intent with prohibition In It It Would receive the support of the e|e, (orate of this slat*- If we In- Hud*- prohibition In this document, and It fd'otjld fall of adoption, we 1 ave put ba< k the < h .-*• of temper-
| ar»< *• by more than a de. rde; and *<o I hhv it Is the part of wisdom for this convention to hesitate be. fore the member* are carried away l»y their enthusiasm, by consider©* i whal ild by I local papers Into taking a step that will not redound to the ad- vancement of this cause so vital
I to th* welfare an*! well-being, not only of uur own firesides, but the gnat stale of Michigan. This circular w.u* printed ami copies
j mailed v. i y early in the campaign by Mr. Maticlu ster ami Mr. -Darmstaetter t>> on* or more retail liquor dealers in every considerable town in nearly every county of the state. I was soon apprised that the circular was known **> every dealer throughout the slat*
' I need not add that the circular could not haye been sent out to promote my poltth a I fortunes.
While early advised of the existence of this clrciilai ami of th** fact that It was doing politi.nl harm. It was well into October before I was able to h«-
I certain Its authorship, which I did upon the occasion of a political ad-
j -’ress at Vpellantl. where r chan* ed to I meet Jam*-* Ifoch, president of the
- Michigan Brewers''association. In the I <-on versa* Inn I called his attention to Ith* circular which had bvtn sent over * I
the stale lie expressed suprrlse. ami 1 said 1 must t># In error because no clr- | rular tool been sent out l then showed him a eop> that l had procured In u . distant city lie compared It with one that he took from his jaicket and said *We had them printed and placttd In charge of Mi Manchester aud .Mr Darmstaetter. and if thev have heen sent out they have done It without au- I th.orlty of the executive committee.'* I can only mid that ts the action taken by the two gentlemen was premature, nothing was .lone by them, the execu- tive committee, or (he association to counters, t t!.«- * tfm’t of the circular, and from then*,-*- forward to the close of the campaign tn every pine* that fi visited. I found that the sentiment of! a considerable portion of the men In the business wa< against me. and that I the were a tt\* l> circulating retorts | to my political Injury among their a*- . soctatee
That the K Y M 8 . or Keep Your Mouth Shut club, an organisation of retail ltquor *n« n with headquarter* In Detroit, and ramification* In every county In the state, was likewise ac- tively agains' *no was ©non apparent, and to find ts It was mailing out th* circular already mentioned, a letter was written to the organisation and the appended r.-plv received Atten- tion 1* called to the names of the of. fleer© of this organisation * being the seme Individuals connected with the othee Unitor organisations heretofore mentioned.

Your letter of September received, and I find that at the present time we have no coplc of the speern referred
Ito ’for distribution. However, If you wish to look up the matter you can find It recorded on page, 1124 and 1127 of the proceedings and debate* of the con- stitutional convention of Michigan. Ixo7-5. and the speech waa delivered on the 30th day of January, 190 V We understand that thcr* ha* oson a set of these proceedings forwarded to every library in the state, so you can probably find th. m In the iibrary We do not think It advisable to make this matter too prominent, at the present time, as It Is liable to bring the pro- hibition question out prominently a*
an Issue In this campaign The work ,of vour organisation Is
not yet completed, and we trust that the club will be kept together so that they will be ready for battle at a mo- ment's notice.
Kindly notify in whether Mr. the ————— candidate, for the legisla- ture Is a liberal man or whether he
j favors prohibition. We have no report on him that Is satisfactory, and would like to get one as sour as possible.
Will write you soon regarding the situation cn governor.
Very truly vour# F O. FLEMMING. Assistant Secretary.

It rests upon the state- ments of men of high integrity know- ing the facts wii* r**of th* > speak, but whose names, because of th*lr business and political associations, they will not permit me to use.
Gov. Warner Is quoted as saying that he received many Democratic votes I admit It; her ec Ived more than a suf- ficUnt number of such vote* to give him the plurality which he i.**w claims; but tboy were d* llv«-r*“d by the men who control the organized liquor vote.
I through methods that are as despicable In politics us they arc In morals.
Throughout the campaign no person or organization asked rn*- to pledge sup- port to any proposition connected with the liquor question, nor was I pledged support from any organization I have never been a prohibitionist, but I have. In common with w-hat 1 believe to he a majority of the people of Mlcnlgan. rec- ognized some of the great evils pre-
i seated by the modern saloon question. T have never been afraid to state what I thought those evils wore and to labo;
for the application <>f remedies. The people of Michigan are a fair
minded. Just people Every man and everv Interest can receive a path nt hearing, and. In the general averag- . just treatment from them. The forum for the appeal of the man In the brew- ing or any other business ts In the broad, open light of the day. The liquor Interests of Michigan, by con- stituting themselves the arbitrator of elections, by refusing to be bound by the laws that bind the average citizen and business, are Inviting not Justice but punishment.
The people of no state will for long
tolerate dark-lantern method© in their political affairs; they will nor stand for advantages gained by intrigue and ras- • ality; and they will sec to It that an adequate rebuke is administered to the Republican-liquor combine which seeks to defeat men whose only offending Is their promise to live up to their oaths of office.

ADMIRALTY TO PUSH NEW
SHIPS TO COMPLETION—TWO
LONDON, Nov. *s—Owing to Eng
land’* persistent bugaboo of a war with Germany, the admiralty la fever- ishly uctlve in building and lauuchlug new vessel a of war.
The premier himself attended the launching of the leviathan battleship Colllngwood. The keelplatea were laid lu February and the vessel launched nine months later—a record In battle- ship building.
The Colllngwood when finally com- pleted will have cost SIU.UOU.UUO. Hng land's totul expenditure on her navy this year has been a trifle uuder $150,- 000.000. The amount of $37,500,000 was appropriated for construction of uew vessels this year.
The gigantic Colllngwood is reported to be the latest word in battleship de- sign. Her displacement will be 19.250 tons, heavier than the Dreadnought by 2.000 tons. The Dreadnought was the first of the leviathan battleship class. The king himself attended her launch- ing In February, 1906 Since then nlue Dreadnoughts have been launched, the Colllngwood being the latest of her class. Two more are on the stocks and one will be launched soon. By the summer of 1910 England will have In active service ten all-big gun bat- tleships
Os the 45 battleships or battleship- cruisers of the new tvjies which have been or being built for the world's navies. 19 have been luunched. Eleven of them fly the British flag; two be- long to Japan; two to the United States; three to Germany and one tj
| Brasil. In the present state of tension be-
tween England and Germany the rac*
for naval supremacy Is swift Eng | land has constructed or Is constructing
jrune battleships of the Dreadnought class, and Germany nine.
The dimensions of the Colllngwoo.l are: length, 500 feet; horsepow’er. 24.500; beam. 84 feet; draught. feet; speed. 21 knots Her armor belt la 11 Inches thick. She will carry ten 12-lnch main guns; 14 4-inch antt- toryedo guns, and five torpedo tubes
