CHASE Q. OSBORN


(From One Who Knows HIM.
To My Friends in Hillsdale County:
have felt that wanted to say Q
few words to you. giving my opinion
Of Chase s. Osborn's qualifications
for governor of this state, and take
this way OF doing so. My reason for
this feeling is that Mr.. Osborn has
been my close friend for many years,
and / have great admiration for him
as marked character. He Is SO pre-
eminently fitted for the duties oil chief
executive of our state that / am con-
fident II you all knew him as l DO
you would at once be his loyal friends
and supporters-that the dignity OF
his character would commend him TO
you. He is a man Of wide sympathies
and is a deep and conscientious stu
dent OF civic and social problems; IN
this particular he has few equals. He
is honest with himself and all others.
In any position OF trust which he has
held he has never been swayed or
influenced by personal consideration,
but has had an eye single to his duty
and responsibility to do the best pos
sible as he understood IT, He is a
thoroughly trained statesman, an edu-
Gated gentleman, graceful, polished
orator, successful man of affairs,
and. above and beyond all, he is
true to himself and, as Shakespeare
says:
This above all: To thine own self be
true,
And it must follow, as the night the
day,
Thou canst not then be false to any
man."
I take much pleasure In saying this
to you because 1t comes from the
heart. Hoping that in the interest OF
good government you may give to him
your support, am,
Yours sincerely,
WALTER H. SAWYER.

OSBORN SENTIMENT IN WAYNE

The one feature Of the North End
Taft clubs picnic at Tashmoo park
Thursday, that stood out in bold re-
lief from the ordinary round of hand
shaking and speech making, was the
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 DO
litical harangue in any sense. II was
more in the nature OF a heartto-heart
talk between friends, and his remarks
were addressed to the children as
well as to grownups.
I'm the old days." ne said, "they
used to Judge a man by the size of
MS arm. Later they came to Judge
him by the size Of his girth, and
want 1t understood that this is no re-
Election on anyone present with a
glance at Congressman Denby). Then
there came time when the head was
the standard of measurement and
still later the mouth. and that is no
reflection on any Of the men on this
platform. Now in these later days
we have come to measure men by
their heartes and the warmth of their
souls, and believe that is the best
standard a measurement"
In concluding he said:
IF my candidacy makes for bet.
ter understanding between the great
north country Of ours, known as the
upper peninsula. and the lower Sec
ton Of our state shall be happy And
now may God bless every one of you"

The Summer Argument.

She wants to go unto the shore
And pack her trunk
With gowns no one has seen before
And all such junk.
But would seek some faroff place
Where I'm unknown
And let my whiskers deck my face
And be alone.
She signs for parties and for teas.
They are her wish.
I merely want to take my ease
And loaf and ash.
She wants to lead life that's Grand
In silken skirts.

.PENDLETQN Won FR0MATHENA
Lefty" Smith Opened Game Auspic-
iously BY Tanning s in First Two.

If Manager Christians Maroons had
been In form with Mr.. Lefty" Smith
In Sundays seance at Pendleton, the
score book might have had different
tale to tell. AS it was. the game
went to the men who deliver the
"Nelson squeeze" by a score of II
to Q.
And they say the umpiring was
something fierce-they do.
To begin with, Pendleton led off in
the first semester with two and added
one more in the second.
Thus the sidewheeler was put to tho
bad and was forced to pitch an uphill
session from the start. He pitched
his head off in the first two innings,
striking out six. and having the en-
couragement of seeing two of them
reach first on muffed strikes.
Pendleton added two in the fourth
and when Athena went to bat in her
half of the fifth she had four zeros
marked against her on the score toard.
Then DePeatt broke through with one
aud in the sixth they had the bases
loaded, with Mr.. Harlan up in the
air. The best they could muster out
of the serimmege was brace of three
and they got no more thereafter.
Pendleton heaved over two in the
seventh and four In the eighth. The
SCORE:
Pendleton--2 2 0 2 0 Ot2 Kill
Athena 0 0001 3 o 0 o.
Weston defeated Pilot Rock Sunday
by a score of 4 to 8. Weston and Pen
dleton remain tied for first place in

Traffic at Toppenish,

have started crusade against the
saloons IN Toppenish and Wapato and
are circulating and signing petit tions

mess which they say has been forced
upon them.
William Charley. one of the leading
Indians of the Yakima tribe, says that
every Indian on the reservation will
sign the petition whether be drinks or
is "dry." He declares they realize
that liquor is running the race.
The petitions being circulated carry
exactly the same wording to the two
councils as follows: "We, the under
signed chiefs. councilmen and laymen
of the Yakima Indian reservation. be-
coming alarmed at the increasing
death rate among our people. beseech
the municipal councils of Toppenish
and Wapato to revoke all licenses now
granted for the sale OF spirituous
liquor within the corporate limits of
said towns forever.
"We not only ask, but we expect
those of our white friends who have
the welfare Of our tribe at heart to
help eliminate this blighting evil
which has been forced upon us. /"
The petition is headed by Charles
Wesley. Head Chief George Waters
has said he will sign when the paper
is presented to him and among other
signatures are those of William Char
,, ley and Lancaster Spencer.
