GOVERNOR OSBORNE
BOOSTS FOR WILSON
Against New Party-Wants
Republicans to Help
Wilson.
" 1ISOn.

Lansing. Mich, July 9.-Governor
Osborn, in a statement yesterday eN-
presses the hope that AL good Re
pubHcans will refuse to join the NAL
contents" in the formation of a new
party, and says those who are not sat
isfied with Mr.. Taft as presidential
candidate can get what they desire by
voting for Wilson.
The governors statement, in part,
follows: 4 am not inconsistent in the
position have taken that Republicans
need not bolt their party and will not
be considered as having bolted if they
vote for Wilson. Many prominent and
influential Democrats in the country
did not vote for or support Mr.. Bryan.
They remained Democrats, never
theless, and are all supporting Wood
row Wilson now. 1 do not think a new
party erected upon the passions of any
number of men can live. When those
who are righteOusly angry because of
the action at Chicago come to their
senses, they will discover that they are
angry at certain men in the Republic
can party and not the splendid old
party itself.
Il wish to reassert and re-emphasize
that the issue is as clear as a deep
toned bell One-haIf the work neces-
sary to create a new party devoted to
purify the Republican party will pro-
duce ten-fold better results.
4 hope all good Republicans viii
refuse to join the indictments in a new
party 1 do not mean by this that
temporary measures should not be
taken to present the name of ROOse-
to vote for him, but whatever steps
are taken to do this, hope it will be
clearly understood that they are tenn
pOrary."
