Conflict Among Republicans.
I say some OF the strongest argu-
ments that can be presented to the
electorate OF the state Of Michigan,
why the Republican party should not
be continued In power, are TO be found
selves Could our candidate for gov
ernor, Mr.. Heamans. In any possible
thusiastic appeal censure the Repub-

OF the Republican candidates for gov
ernor before the primaries, one OF
power upon the same platform OF es-
sentially self-condemnation.

Mr. Osborn now says the expenses
OF the state have grown beyond all
reasonable bounds. What has he done

years ago? I believe the voters Of this
state will conclude that a man who
lent his efforts to the prevention or re-
