Progressive Rspublicanism viii b
strongly advocated by ex-Mayor
0eorUo p. Codd. when he takes his
place on the platform a. permanent
chairman Of the Republican state
convention. In the Wayne pavilion,
next Thursday. His address. II 10 unr
deretood. will follow the lines OF his
Light Guard armory speech, just be-
fore the primaries. when he declared
that Michigan should take the lead In
the adoption Of laws that are being
demanded By the people. rather than
wait for other states to take the int-
tiative.
Codd was one OF the most active
supporters Of Chase 8. Osborn In the
campaign for the gubernatorial nom
nation. and his views will represent
Osborn's attitude on current issuee
Mr.. Osborn may be called upon TO
make an address In person, but this
has not been decided.
Not In years has 90 much interest
conferred about the framing Of the
resolutions a. on this occasion. That
Gov, Warmers friends will put up .

naturalization II regarded al certain.
Whether they will succeed II another
question. Chase 8. Osborn. an head
Of the ticket, will have practically
the whole say In the drafting Of the
platform and In view Of his attitude
toward Warner In the primary cam
paign II seems hardly probable that
he would stand for anything In tho
platform that even savored OF an In
dors6ment of the administration. So
Il 10 extremely doubtful II the resolu-
tons, az they will be submitted to

the committee, will be very strong
on the salve stun. The only hope Of
the Warner following then will be to
make fight In convention for IN
amendment to the resolutions.
SO far ~ known the platform has
not been drafted even In the rough,
an yet. Conferences on the matter,
II II understood. will be held Wednes-
day and Il will not take long to get
them out after Mr.. Osborn and his
advisors have once formulated their
items.
Next to the prospective light over
the resolutions. the most interesting
feature Of the convention will be the
contest for the nomination for attor-
ney-general There arc I'VE candi-
dates. most conspicuous among whom
are Franz Kuhn. the present incum-
bent, and Grant Fellows, Of Hudson.
The other contender6 ares JOhn'
