The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-08-24

One of the primary battles that is
attracting much attention is that for
nomination to the governorship. in
which three candidates are promin-
emily before the people, they being
Messrs. Osborn, Kelley and Mussel-
man, says the Ishpeming Iron ore.
In this three cornored contest the
upper peninsula is to stand solidly by
its candidate Hon. Chase S. Osborn.
of Sault Ste. Marie, Chippewa county.
who is i'm every way splendidly equip
ped for the position. He Is a scholar.
a man of eloquence, great hustler
and successful business man, and one
whose election would do Michigan n
heap of good We need a governor
such as Mr.. Osborn would make.
Michigan would be more heard of
with him at its head. There would be
something doing that would be of
interest and benefit to all who de-
sire progress in our state affairs
There is plenty of opportunity in
this great state for the application
of thorough business rules There is
lot that could be done to advance
our interests and to lessen the state
tax rate. There are a lot of useless
limbs that could be Topped off, and a
bit of grating of new wood that
would be beneficial to the yield of
business.
We have known Mr.. Osborn many
years and we recognize in him the
right sort of timber for the govern
orship. He is a safe man, a brainy
one, great worker, and we could
use him to much advantage in push
ing the great old state to the front.
1t Is no secret that of late years
Michigan has had pretty tame lot OF
governors, real nice men, some of
them tame and quiet and all that,
but the country hasn't been quoting
their methodism ideas or words to
any extent.
We would like to see just one real
live governor for Michigan.
Really, isn't it about time we sell
ected man of this type?
Chase S. Osborn is a live man.
Please remember him on the day of
election.
We owe il to the upper peninsula
and we owe ii to Michigan and to
ourselves to do this.
1t is the right thing to do.
Chase S. Osborn is no trimmer.
When he hits ii is straight from the
shoulder and there can be no mis-
take as To where he intends to land.
Two years ago Kent county re-
pudiated Governor Warner in about
as emphatic a manner as possible.
while his party all over the state
showed its displeasure at his admin
istration by giving him the smallest
number Of votes of any candidate on
his ticket
Since that time the people of Mich
igan have had no occasion to change
their views of Mr.. Warner and as he
Is not running for any office there
would have been no occasion to bring
him into the limelight had be not
started a controversy with Mr.. Os-
porn.
In signed statement, the 500 cam |
lidate shows what he thinks of Gov |
.rnor Warner when he says "T then |
ind there made up my mind that he |
vas small, unfair and unsafe man."
No beating around the BUSH the
statement cannot be twisted It is |
uch man with the courage of his
that is wanted in Ian
ing, one that is not afraid to call a
pade n spade. Mr.. Osborn has never
zen accused of being n trimmer and
7 he is nominated and elected there
yill not be single person in Mlchi-
an but what will know who is gov
rnor and know his stand on all
tate affairs.
Mr. Osborn is thoroughly ac-
with the needs OF Michi-
an, not in any special section. but
