more genuine pleasure In the advo-
cacy of good citizenship and good gov

In regard to the attacks which the
opposition has made on Mr.. Osborn's
character, he has prepared a state
a day or two. Commenting on this
point. Mr.. Osborn said:
Il don't wish the people to be mis-
informed as to my opponents. l have
been made the object OF low and viii
flying attacks. These things | expected
when went into the contest. because
no man can fight opponents who use
Tammany methods without subjecting
himself TO depraved political assaults.
II is now perfectly apparent that the
Warner-Kelley crowd are In q desper-
ate way and are using every means to
help Musselman. In counties where
they can make no Roadway them
selves, they are putting up the organ
ixation and are fighting for Mussel-
man. / have myself seen one Warner
Kelley man distributing Musselman

man Is aware Of that he Is their tool.

good judgment to be governor or

81 Mr.. Osborn Is not worrying at all

that there Is no truth In the at

litigation into the attacks after the cam
