TOWNSEND AND OSBORN WIN
Continued from page |.

For state honors the battle was even
more fiercely waged than were those for
county positions. The candidates for
senatorial and gubernatorial honors have
put up a strenuous campaign during the
past summer. Sweeping the entire
state. however, 10 manner which sur
prised even their most enthusiastic sup
porters, Chase s. Osborn of the 500 and
the distinguished congressman Chas. +.
Townsend of Jackson, rolled up heavy
majorities. As we 90 to press the state
returns are practically compiled, and
give Osborn for governor lead over his
two rivals of nearly $4,000, while Kelley
and Musselman are close. The brilliant
upper peninsula man carried every pre-
cinct in the upper peninsula and come
down from the straits with a lead OF
over $4,000. Many counties in the lower
peninsula, which were supposed to be
strong Kelley strongholds, gave substan-
tlal maiorities for Osborn. The remark
able run of the Grand Rapids man was
surprising in face OF the popular opinion
that he did not have show to win.
Townsend made what is considered
the most remarkable campaign Of them
all. He carried nearly every county 10
the state, and even in the upper PENN
sula where Burrows was thought to be
strong, he swept erything before him.
His majority will be over the $4,000
mark. 1t will be noticed from the COM
pilation on this page that Van Buren,
county gave both Townsend aud Osborn
a majority.
1t is not definitely known yet who has
won the race for lieutenant governor as
the three candidates Are pretty well
punched. 1t Is generally thought, how
ever, that John Q. Ross of Muskegon
will land the place for Osborn ) running
mate on the ticket.
John I. Winship, democratic candi.
date for United States senator, did not
have sufficient names on his nominating
petition to insure him a place on the
ticket. de received about 40 votes 10
Van Buren, county, however, and will
probably have enough in the state to
get on the printed ballot in November.
Contrary to the general feeling that
the vote would be light throughout the
state, heavy vote was polled. The day
was an ideal one and everyone realiz I'd
1t to be their duty to get out to the polls
aud express their rights 10 the selection
OF the various candidates. A represent
tative repu blican vote was poled in Van
Buren, county. The Paw Paw vote stood
republican AGO, democrat As. No socialist
or prohibition votes were cast in Paw
Paw, and very few in the county
There was a large crowd out all day in
Paw Paw, but everything was quiet both
a. the polls and on the street. The va
rious candidates and their friends were
doing some work, but ii was of a quiet
nature and there was no excitement. In
the evening, however, every body and
their friends were out 10 force to get the
returns, which were received at Ken
yon's place, the Paw Paw Drug store
and the Maple City club rooms, all
three places being crowded late. As soon
as it was known who were the winners,
congratulations we're in order, the cigars
were passed and the crowd dispersed to
think it over.
