OSBORN Tells WHv'
He WON'T RUN FOR
SECOND Term
Aspirations for Reelection Often
Leads To Acts Not Conducive To
Efficient Government,
He Says.
Thinks Gubernatorial Term Should
Be Made Four Instead Of
Two Years.
SUIT SIZE. MARIE, Mich. Dec. ..

SkULT STE. MARIE, Mich. Dec. !,
In statement issued today, Cow
elect Osborn says he will not be q
candidate for governor for second
term. Too frequently" he declares
"a first-term governor feels obliged u
consider and cater TO popularity and
popular measures in order to insure
a second term. This often involves
acts not conducive TO efficient govern
ment." 1t is his opinion that the tern
OF the governor should be changed
from two TO four years.
The statement follows:
| shall not be candidate for
governor for a second term. This
conclusion has been reached after
the consideration of several rea-
sons. During the primary contest
and subsequent party campaign
frequently made the statement
that | was inspired TO be "A candi.
date more by a desire TO do my
duty as citizen than by mere
ambition 10 be governor. When |
made these declarations | was
deeply In earnest. ! am still in the
same state OF mind
In my opinion, IL is desirable 10
charge the term of governorship
from two years TO one term or four
years. Should the legislature con-
slider the submission oil an amend
ment TO the constitution TO this
end, ! do not wish to be hamper
ed by the possibility Of two

four-year term.
Too frequently first-term
governor feels obliged TO consider
and cater to popularity and popn-
Tar measures in order 10 insure u
second term This often involves
ar excess OF political appoint
ments. trading of patronage, coer'
cion OF legislators and other acts
not conducive 10 efficient govern
ment. One OF the evil results OF
this has been the practical as
sumption of Legislative power
by the executive that never seems
to have been contemplated by our
state constitution.

FAR as possible from the slightest
intimation that there has been
any consideration of future per
sonal or political advantage. BY
making a one-term declaration AT
this time frankly hope to insure
that credit for sincerity which nat
urally attaches TO disinterest The
Republican party of Michigan Is
rich In gubernatorial material OF
the best character and there can
be no embarrassment to either
state or party in my decision TO
accept but one term.
II may be fair to state that
personal work to which had
hoped to devote my life was en-
tirely interrupted by my injection
into state politics at this time. My
one ambition is to serve the state
faithfully for one term and then
