Friends OF 800" Man, After Careful
Canvass, Sure Of Sweeping Victory
In Primaries.

Marie, Will carry the state by $4,000
ana wayne county by 5000 at least In
the coming primary election, Is the
conndenl prediction made by local
supporters OF Mr.. Osborn, who are In
crosse touch with the situation. These
hsures are based on reports from
every county In the state, gathered
py means OF perfect system that has
been evolved by the local organiza-
tion. and the estimate Is conserva-
tive.
From the tenor OF these reports 1t
would seem that Patrick II. Kelley's
supposed strength In certain locali-
ties has been greatly over-estimated.
u Is extremely doubtful whether he
VIII be able TO carry even his native
county. Cass, for reports from Dowa-
giac and other points In that county
show that Osborn's candidacy Is stead
ily gaining strength there.
As far as the Upper Peninsula is
concerned, there Is apparently not the
slightest doubt as to Mr.. Osborn's SUI
premacy. The Osborn clubs OF that
section have been doing some most eff
fective work. and as result largely
nf their efforts, the enrolment has
been increased In some localities as
much as 100 per cent. Competent

withstanding the courteous reception
rendered other candidates, Houghton
Is first, last and all the time for Os-

"Mr Osborn will have practically
the unanimous vote OF Houghton
county next September" said William
X. Oates, of Larium, chairman OF the
Upper Peninsula Osborn club, recent
" The same thing can be said or
the entire Upper Peninsula for the
MANAGEMENT and membership of all
the numerous Osborn clubs Is COM
posed of that active and energetic
class OF men who usually do things.
The unanimity OF sentiment which ex'
lists in northern Michigan for Mr.. Os
born is convincing of something more
than popularity. When you get down

and best Judged in his own commun-
ity. Mr. Osborn has the united sup

political strength or support" he says.
Claims of strong support In certain
localities soon become boomerang
unless there Is justification for them"
That "Warnerism" will be big fac
