mining industry as they should. L
wish there was a mine i'm every coun-
" in the lower peninsula. not only
10 teach them our needs but our
worth, for the mining people are a
class of big hearted. honest, intellec-
tual. industrious men and in every
way as great as the people who work
on the farms. At no time have | said
a thing i'm order TO gain votes that
pewa county or that was not wor-
thy of the support of any person in
Houghton county and in the upper
peninsula.
Whether II meant votes or not, good
friends, I think IL has borne fruit
more or less. Friends, have lived
I'm the upper peninsula for over thir-
ty years. The upper peninsula has
population of $4,000. while the
lower peninsula has a population of
2,O0O,5OO. The fight l made was where
the votes were. | crossed the Rubi-
con and went into the enemies coun-
try, but the so-called enemies turned
out 70 be very good friends indeed.
, After describing his observations
in various countries, tending TO show
that the progressive movement in the
United States, as shown by the pri-
mary. is being exempli6ed in every
country by an extension of popular
rule Mr.. Osborn asked the indul-
l. 4. 90 gaNrfncr "A fNKN
words regarding two good friends of
his in the campaign just closed. He
regretted that he could not thank all
personally but these two he could.
Il wish to make public announce
ment for the good work done for me
by William r. Oates. He neglected
his own interests for what seemed
10 be mine. but really they were the
greater interests Of the upper pen
insula and the whole state of Michi-
gan. would be an migrate indeed did
not speak the words which are very
much in my heart Understand
friends, that do not wish this 10
reflect upon anyone else. but ! know
that William r. oates neglected his
own interests in my behalf and l want
YOU to know that thank him"
Continuing Mr.. Osborn referred to
the fact that 1t had been used against
him that a friend of his had offered
a resolution endorsing him In the
Hougbton county board of supervis-
ors. To the people of lower Michi-
gan who referred to this friend dis
paragingly Mr.. Osborn Eaid that
Hon. Charles Smith was a man whom
anyone could be proud to call a
friend. "I am fifty years old but J
can say that as far back as I can
remember. Charles Smith could be
found giving the best that was in
him for the people of the state of
Michigan"
Mr.. Osborn completed his speech
with a magnificent peroration ex-
tolling the climate and the rugged
hills and pure air of the upper pen
insula. He had last year motored
through Roumania and down the
Danube and this year he had been
through lower Michigan in an auto
mobile but never had he seen n fairer
land than the upper peninsula. He
declared that in this climate, by
these eternal hills only men could
live and they only through the
strength and modesty and charac-
ter of their women. 1t was n mag
nifcent burst Of oratory and IL swept
the big audience up TO a splendid
tribute of applause which was later
added to by a hearty three cheers and
tiger for the next governor of Mich
igan.
After the enthusiasm attending the
close OF Mr. Osborn's speech the bust
ness Of the convention was resumed
