FOR OSBORN
CONTINUED from Page ~

In opening his speech. Rep. William
4 II. oates spoke OF the new primary
law and the need OF the enrolment OF
every qualified voter II Houghton
county is to show its true strength ~
the polls.
: This county" said Mr. oates. has
a republican voting population of TO-
600. which is one quarter of the entire
/ vote of the L. p. fact that must be
taken into consideration. Houghton
county must show the way To its fell
low voters. Enroll i'm April SO as To
make this big vote count. Under the
old system of nomination any L. T..
ernor stood little chance. This was
not due to lack of able men. nor the
lack Of afiiliation with the successful
party, as shown by the large republi-
can maiorities. Nor was it due To the
geographical location of the candidate.
but rather to the old system Of nomin-
alton In their own hands.
THE primary system has done away
with this" said Mr.. oates, and any
man OF ability and individuality can
now submit his candidacy To the whole
people with a fair hope of success"
Mr.. oates touched upon the fact thar
not 50 per cent Of the vote of H9ugh'
ton county is enrolled and urged his
hearers 10 see To II that this condition
was changed. In unanimity there is
strength and Mr.. oates was not slow
i'm impressng this fact upon those
present He drummed enrolment and
necessity for IL as few speakers ever
have before. and the force of his ar
guments were apparent.
Let me tell YOU" said Rep. Oates
chat If the upper peninsula has cap
able man. one who is able to take care
of the office and handle it from safe
and sane standpoint. the lower pc
ninsula will vote for him. II is the in
telligent vote of both peninsulas that
will nominate the next governor and !
believe that Chase s. Osborn will be
the next executive officer Of this state.
"Chase 6 Osborn is not the can
didate of the upper peninsula. He is
the candidate of the whole state and
resides-in the upper peninsula and 1T is
but natural that he has the loyalty and
united support of his home district,
such as no other candidate has in any
section of the state. His record as
game and fish warden and railroad
commissioner, and his frequent SER
vices at state and national conventions
and now as a member of the board OF
university regents, show and have
shown him a capable and efficient man
TO handle the administrative reins of
the commonwealth.
'If Chase S. Osborn is elected, he
willsgive Michigan one Of the best adj
ministrations since the days Of Austin
Blair and will be one of the greatest
governors the state has ever had"

spoke of the candidacy of Mr.. Osborn
and their determination TO work for
him. Attorney Lucas strongly empha-
sized the fact that Mr.. Osborn is
strongly opposed to the proposed ton
mage tax, while Attorney Marsch eu-
logized Mr.. Osborn's qualifications for
governor of this state as shown by his
know edge of state affairs, and his un-
firing study and knowledge of govern
ment.
Justice olivier made no secret oil
his presence. He is strongly fol
Chase, S. Osborn. while Justice Jackoia
made the statement that the Finnisl
republicans Of. this township woule

Fisher advocated the candidacy OF th'
Soon man as only an orator of his
volubllty knows how.
