HIS ATTACK UNPOPULAR.
Martindale Gets Only Feeble Applause
When He Attacks Osborn.

Detroit. Mich, july 29.-Secretary OF
state Frederick G. Martindale outdid
even his previous public statements in
a show of animus toward Governor
Osborn In his speech before the MEM
bers of the North End Taft club at
Tashmoo Park Thursday afternoon.
Maybe It was the Introductory remarks
of Chairman David E. Heineman, who
lauded the governor as Our tenn
pestous and efficient executive" and
compared him to the swift running
falls i'm his own st. Mary's river at the
500, concluding "and God help the
man who gets in the way of either the
falls or of Osborn"
Maybe Il was the applause with
which the chairman's remarks were
greeted For whatever reason Mr.
Martindales ire was up and he not on
ly lambasted the governor. but he
declared that there are no newspapers
i'm which he. Martindale, could get n
fair hearing before the people.
As first appearance OF the cam
paign before a considerable audience
Mr.. Martindaie's effort could not be
construed as n political scream. Twelve
months from the commencement OF the
fireworks of n real campa' the crowd
wasn't In n humor to enthuse anyhow
Not any of the speakers could be sain
to have brought down the house ana
the best Mr.. Martindale could get FOR
his most virulent sentences was a
feeble hand clapping.
Governor Osborn was unable TO. De
present and sent his regrets from the
500.
Very few of those who listened to
Mr.. Martindale took kindly to his Ell
forts and he was generally criticized
on the ground that he displayed very
bad taste, and many went so far az
TO say that he would not have talked
as he did had Gov. Osborn been pres
ent.
