wheIan out for Gov. Osborn.


The .tatement is made by the Char
lotte Tribune that U. s. Marshal
Nicholas J. Whelan, former member
of the lower house of the Michigan
legislature, and manager of Pat"
Kellys campaign in the last election,
has declared for the nomination OF
Gov. Osborn for a second term. He Is
quoted as saying that if he is any
Judge of the sentiment Of the fpeople,
Nothing but death or the acceptance
of a higher political honor, outside OF
Michigan, will prevent his serving a
second term" Further he is quoted:
THE people appreciate Osborn's brilli-
ant attachments, his sincerity OF pur-
pose and If the governor can be made
to see it is his duty to the people and
to the party to accept denomination
doubt very much if he has any opposi-
ton. He shouldn't have any, at least,
if he's willing to make the sacrifice. "
The announcement made by Gov,
Osborn at the time he assumed the
duties of his position that he would not
be a candidate for a denomination,
caused considerable feeling through
the state among Republicans who
were disposed to accept the statement
of the governor as final settlement of
the question-that in no event would
he consent to the use of his name for a
re. nomination.
The Tribune did not take the an
nouncement literally and it does not
now. Knowing the governor fairly
we'll and appreciating his devotion to
principle, this newspaper accepted the
announcement of the governor as
meaning that he would not be candi
date in the sense of seeking re. nomin'
alton, that he would be content at the
expiration of his first term to retire to
private life and be as The always has
been, a good private citizen. Indeed
the governor personally intimated tc
the Tribune that such course would
satisfy his ambition. Nothing has been
said by the executive, however, 30 fai
as known, to indicate that he would re-
fuse to respond to the call of the party
and people of the state to serve another
term, and it appears at the present
writing that thisis more than probable
unless Governor Osborn should be called
for some higher honor outside OF the
state. Bay City Tribune.

TRAGEDY OF TOMATO VINE
Practical Person Makes Discovery
After Neishbors Had Given VoIce
to Their Wonderment.

Now doth the amateur agriculturist
flourish and wax proud at his Luther
Burbank achievements, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. One such nursed a
lone tomato plant from delicate and
sickly infancy to robust maturity.
With all a mothers tender care he
ministered to that plant. He watered
1t. brushed the dust off 1t, pleaded with
II, encouraging II to better things.
Then one day II member of the family
rushed into the house with g'ad It'd
ings.. There was a real tomato on the
vine.
What an assemblage there VAS
about that plant! The block was de-
populated temporarily. Amateur ag-
riculturists climbed on each others
necks to view the wonder. The head
OF the house inspected It through a
magnifying glass. His spouse clapped
her hands and exclaimed: AT last
We shall have our own salad from our
own vine" Even the watchman from
row of empty houses nearby was
called to look. and he remarked sol.
emnly that he never saw such a large
tomato on such a small vine"
Then came along one of those hor-
ribly practical persons, who said It
couldn't be, and had to have a closer
look. He spoiled 1t all by his discov-
cry that the tomato had been tied on
with a string. and If you want to know
who tied 1t on ask the woman who
lives next door.
