O4s RAElDo, MlCu., Aug. o.
Through the strong grain centrs OF
Barry, Eaton and Clinton counties H.
+. Baker. chairman OF the executive
committee OF the state Grange, II ac-
companying Mr.. Osborn. One of the
lest breaks" OF the week Ia the &C
ton or the Hastings Banner, which
came out for Mr.. Osborn. The Banner
says:
Mr.. Osborn Ia q clear, forceful and
eloquent speaker. He strikes from
the shoulder. There il never any
doubt - to what be means for he
neans what he says He has the cour-
ags Of his convictions. and is not
afraid % tall the plain truth. just as
he sees Il, lee Il hit where and whom
1t may. Ths people OF Barry county
admire that hind q man, and there
can be no doubt q their admiration
for Mr.. Osborn, nor that II will be ex-
pressed BY . very large vote for him
on primary election day. September
9Th.
Mr.. Osborn believes he has a mes
saes for the Republicans Of Michigan.
Hs believes that there are abuses
which have grown up In this state that
need corrocttng--abusos which make

VIM fsarlessly ct about tho wogk ot
house-claaning. With tho aim OF sscur-
ins the maximum Of cflciency In ID
ministration ct the minimum Of cost to
the people Of NichigAn. Prom lous
and intimate personal acquaintance
with Chase 8. Osborn We have no
doubt that he wonh bend every en-
ergy oe his strong. v1rile mind To the
end Of giving this state an administers
ton free from The faint OF graft, and
one that would b strong and efhcient

sists, and We believe the voters OF
Michigan will agree with him, that II
il better for the party and for the
state for Republicans to do their own
house-cleaninG He says he will do a
thorough Job q II II he IL nominated
and elected governor. Those who know
the man wifi understand that he " ~
be as good as his word-he's that kind
of a man. He will not assume, he
says, that any man has been guilty OF
misconduct as an officer. But he Will
seek To have the books OF account and
the records OF officers and OF depart
ments given a searching Investigation
And while every man Will have q
square deal, there will be no favors
shown to any officers Of the state who
have been untrue to their trust or who
have been ineficient In the discharge
of their oficial duties.
I'VE believe It will be no mistake
for the voters Of this state to com
mission a strong man like Mr.. Osborn
to do the very work he says he is pre-
pared to do"
Every appointee who holds his job
through the influence Of Gov. Warner
Is out plugging for Pat Kelley on state
time. That is true in Eaton county
and holds good In every county In
the state. Why, I am told by my
friends here in this City that the
meeting tomorrow night was arranged
by Gov. Warmers private secretary
Mai. Loomis, which will give you some
idea of the interest Gov. Warner Is
taking to force Kelleys nomination
on the Republicans of the state"
Thus declared Chase s. Osborn IN
a speech here last night, in reply te
Mr.. Kelleys request that the 500 mar
name the state employees who are
working for him.
why, that's easy; simply name
every man who holds his place
through grace Of Gov. Warner" con
tinued Mr.. Osborn.
The 500 man made eight speeches
in Eaton county, closing with an eve
ming meeting In this city. Prof. NADIA
introduced him at Olivet, ENDORSING
his candidacy in forceful language. Or
Bradley presided at Eaton Rapids
where 500 people greeted the candi
date, applauding his pledge to clear
up Michigan.
Horner Bros. closed their wooler
mills at Eaton Rapids, where Mr.. Os
borne also made a brief talk to the
employees. At Dimondale, Rep. Baker
was introduced by Master Hull, OF the
State Grange, who heard the chair
man of his executive committee roast
the warner-Kelley administration In
vigorous style.
