OF the most important cases.
Members of the court are expected
to arrive in Washington after their
summer vacations about the first q
October and it is probable they VIII
then hold Informal conferences to de-
termfne what policy shall be pursued
by them in regard to the hearing Of
cases with vacancies existing. There
is little possibility that their dects-
ion will be made known before the
sitting of the court October 10. Bot
it is generally believed here that the
court VIII continue the hearing OF
the more important cases until all
the justices can sit on them. mas
much as any newly appointed JUS
tees can not be confirmed before
the converting of Congress in De-
cember and probably can not get
into active work before the holidays
it is safe to assume that the argu-
ments in the big cases will not be
made before January.

pronounced Osborn sentiment. which
began to manifest itself as soon as
the boat pulled away from the Detroit
dock, and continued throughout the
day, waxing stronger every moment
1t reached its height after his speech
In the grove, when men, women and
even the children Joined in giving him
what was little short of an ovation.
His earnestness and his eloouence
won the hearts of all, and the burst
of applause that followed was spon.
taneous and heartfelt.
Mr.. Osborn's address was not a no.
lftical harangue in any sense. 1t was
more in the nature of a heart-to-heart
talk between friends, and his remarks
were addressed to the children as
well as to grownups.
I'm the old days. he said. "thev

1t is evident that the newspaper
men of Michigan would like to see
one of their number made governor.
and for this reason the great major.
ity of them are doing all in their now.
er to have Chase S. Osborn nomi.
mated at the September primaries.
They know that the late Governor
Johnson of Minnesota was one of the
best governors that state ever had.
and that he was a newspaper man.
His administration attracted favor
able attention in every part of the
Union and was regarded in the light
of model one. Mr.. Osborn is q good
deal Of the stamp of man that Gov
ernor Johnson was. He is a clean
cut, manly man, who understands the
needs of the state and knows that
the people are lookig for an admin
istration that Is not bound up in self
ishness and one that will have in
mind the good Of the people in gen.
eral. Mr.. Osborn is well eouipped
for the place; he has been a close
student Of all public questions and
believes thoroughly in square deal
The newspaper men of the state want
to see him given trial, as they feel
that the people will be more than SAT-
isf'ed with him, and that he will stand
the test.--Fremont Review.
