SAY OSBORN WILL
WIN BY $4,000
Friends of 800" Man, After Careful
Canvass, Sure of Sweeping Victory
In Primaries.

That Chase 8. Osborn, OF Sault Ste.
Marie. will carry the state by $4,000
and Wayne county by 5000 AT least In
the coming primary election, Is the
confident prediction made by local
supporters OF Mr.. Osborn, who are In
close touch with the situation. These
figures are based on reports from
every county in the state, gathered
by means of a perfect system that has
been evolved by the local organiza-
ton. and the estimate Is conserva-
tive.
From the tenor of these reports II
would seem that Patrick III. Kelley's
supposed strength In certain local.
ties has been greatly over-estimated.
II is extremely doubtful whether he
will 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
lily 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 ef-
fective work, and as q result largely
OF their efforts, the enrolment has
been increased In some localities as
much as 100 per cent. Competent
judges of political conditions in
Houghton county declare that, not
withstanding the courteous reception
rendered other candidates, Houghton
is first, last and all the time for o.
born"
"Mr. Osborn will have practically
the unanimous vote of Houghton
county next September" said William
r. Oates. of Larium. chairman of the
Upper Peninsula Osborn club, recent
ly. "The same thing can be said OF
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 unHntmfty of sentiment which ex--
lists in northern Michigan for Mr.. Os
born is convincing OF something more
than popularity. When you get down
to brass tacks, man Is best known
and best judged In his own commun-
ity. Mr.. Osborn has the united sup
port OF the people of this district be-
cause they recognize his worthy quail
ties, sterling ability. splendid man.
hood and pre-eminent fitness to fill the
Office of governor of Michigan"
Mr.. Oates says he bases his claims
of MIR. 0sborn,s strength on the ac-
tual situation as he has found II to
exist In xarinns localities.
a cordial welcome or hospitable
treatment extended to candidate
should not be misconstrued to mean
political strength or support" he says
"Claims of strong support In certain
localities soon become q boomerang
unless there is justification for them"
That "Warnerism' will be big fac
tor In the coming primary Is manifest.
There Is growing feeling that,
should Kelley secure the nomination,
he would be defeated at the polls In
November for the simple reason that
he Is regarded by the electors as the
''heir apparent" OF the Warner admin
istration, and his election. 1t Is ar
gued, would mean another two years
Ga fourth term) for "Warnerism." Os-
born supporters point out that the
men who are foremost in their sup
port Of Kelley are adherents of the
old machine, who realize that unless
Kelley Is victorious the supply Of pap
will be cut of. On the other hand.
for other Offices on the Re
publican ticket are rallying to the
support of Osborn, believing that he
will lend strength to the entire state
ticket and to local tickets.
The Osborn forces In Detroit have
not been idle. Working very quietly,
they have built mp a wonderfully
strong organization, which will be
heard from I'm due time. Already neat.
white buttons, bearing the candidates
name have made their appearance, to-
gether with campaign plugging"
cards. On the reverse side. under the
head OF Plugging" appears the fol-
lowing:
am plugging for good govern
ment.
am plugging for Osborn and
for governor of Michigan who will
plug the holes in the good old ship
OF state and put her on an even
keel.
am plugging for man who Is
not controlled by any pool OF po-
litical pluggers anywhere.
am plugging for Osborn and
a new deal"
Among Mr.. Osborn's Detroit sup
porters are such men as Russell A.
