factor in primary campaign. and
the formidable position Mr. Osborn
now occupies In the gubernatorial
race Is due to the loyal support he
is receiving from the Republican edi-
tors OF the state. All his life Mr.. Os-
born has been a newspaper publisher,
and many of the assurances of edi-
torial support have been received
from Michigan editors who know him
best through their intimate associa-
ton with him on matters pertaining
TO the welfare of the craft, during the
years he was actively interested in
the various editorial associations Of
the state. Other offers OF support
have been received from editors who
admire the fearless way he has of
discussing public questions His ut
terances at the various political ban.
Quets in the lower part of the state
winning him hosts of supporters In
every county where he appeared. Ii
Is instructive TO admire a man who
talks plain and strikes straight out
from the shoulder, and Mr. Osborn's
| progress through the southern part
or the state has surpassed the fond
est hopes Of his stanchest friends.
sixty-five Per Cent Favor Mr.. Osborn.
1t is really impossible to make an
accurate estimate of the per cent of
Michigan newspapers that are sup
porting the respective candidates for
governor for the reason that upwards
OF two hundred publications are in
dependent, and are trying to main
tain neutral position. OF the Re
publican papers listed In the latest
issue of the Michigan Manual sixty
five per cent of the number are either
actively supporting Mr.. Osborn out
right or are favorable to his candi-
dacy. An additional ten per cent
nave, as yet, expressed no preference
on the subject, and include tho Clin-
ton County Republican, Marshall
Statesman, Hastings Banner, Char. |
lotte Republican and several other
strong weelIlies, all of which are dis |
posed to look upon the Osborn candi. |
dacy with genuine favor.
One of the pleasing things of the |
campaign, to Mr.. Osborn, Is the royal |
support he is receiving from his
home papers. every paper In his con-
gressional district, comprising Is
counties, with but two exceptions, do
ing active work In his behalf The
Idle gossip frequently heard In the
southern part Of the state that Mr.. Os-
born is going to have genuine op-
position In the upper peninsula Is
not worth denying. His strength in
the north country Is well expressed
by the sheriff of Alger county, who
stated Mr.. Osborn will get 95 out
or every hundred votes in the upper
peninsula"
