II there are any Michigan Republi.
cans who have II now in mind to de-

Would Democratic victory In 1910

Would It start a single wheel in

Would II broaden the market for

Chase s. Osborn, tho Republicans
candidate for governor, received seyel
out of every eight votes cast at tina
primary election In Chippewa county.
No better testimonial could possibly
be given as to Mr.. Osborn's standing
In his home city and bis home county,
than the almost unanimous vote cast
for him at the primary election pro-
vides. Mr.. Osborn is an active AND
aggressive man, one who does thingn
and seeks to have others perform
their part. 1t is not usually true that
such men are popular. They do n0t
seek for popularity. but for helpfnl
accomplishment. In Chase Osborn's
case, however. he has occurred accom-

fenced Thursday for Dis
turbng Peace of
Community.

Mrs. E. D. Marks and her negro SER
want, Rilla Taylor, created amusement
in Police Judge Roses court yesterday
afternoon when they testified in their
own behalf in an attempt to disprove
the statements of four witnesses who
accused them of disturbing the peace
by using profane language. The ac-
cused were found guilty and Will ap-
pear for sentence Thursday.
According to several neighbors, who
sWore to the complaints against Mrs
Marks and her servant, the latter be-
came engaged in a violent alteration
with Mrs. Finkelstein, the mother of
Mrs. Marks, and after war of words
over back fence the affair terminated
with a volley of curses.
Mrs. Marks insisted on talking de-
spite the efforts of her attorney, the
prosecuting attorney and the judge to
quiet her. She was determined to tell
her side of the affair, and refused to be
interrupted by what she considered un-
important objections. She never ceased
talking when she took the witness stand
except to pause for breath, and then
she resumed her story with renewed
vigor.
Rilla, the negro girl, told her story in
manner that resulted in several
bursts of laughter.
''Ah went out in de yard to see what
Mrs. Finkelstein wanted" said the
witness "She axed me about er shawl
