No Help For Democracy.

The nomination of Chase s. Osborn
of the 500 for Governor robs Democ.
racy Of tho slightest hope of guberna-
torial victory. There can be no reason
why Democracy should win. 1t can
promise nothing by way of progress
and probity in state affairs which Mr..
Osborn himself has not already preach
ed up and down the state of Michigan
for three busy months. We prophesy
that Governor Osborn will give Michi-
gan an administration which will go
back as far as the great Austin Blair
for any equal in brilliancy and SUBJ
stance. He is scholar and traveller,
an orator of surprising eloquence, and
a writer of extraordinary genius. a
business man of experience and large
affairs. Withal he possesses the cour.
age, the capacity, and the sterling inte-
gritty which prophesy good things for
his commonwealth. Governor Osborn
will be an unqualified success. Grand

The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, infam-

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial.
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it

Detroit, Sept 9.-Chase S. Os-
born's victory in the gubernatorial
race reflects a great deal of credit
upon w. Frank Knox of the 500.
Knox was chosen by the 500 COM
mittee of Osborn's friends and his
expenses paid by popular subscrip-
ton on the part of 500 business men.
1t was Knox who perfected the
strong organization through the
state which saw to 1t that the gains
made by the candidates inspiring
speeches were made permanent.
Knox had much to do with lining up
the smaller state newspapers.
Now he blossoms out as one of the
men of the hour in the Republican
ranks of the state and already the
Detroit politicians are figuring on
him as the next chairman of the
state central committee. AS the
leader of the state ticket Mr.. Os-
born no doubt will be heard in the
choice of a chairman. He would be
inclined to favor Mr.. Knox to sue
coed Congressman Diekema of Hol-
land.
