state convention TO select delegates TO
the national convention 20 be held IN
Chicago next June There was some
talk. prior To the meeting. that an at
tempt would be made TO secure an en-
dorsement Of Governor Osborn as
"Michigan's favorite son" for the
presidential nomination. The session
of the committee was executive. but II
was given out after the meeting that
no such attempt was made by Mr.. Os-
born's friends. who recognized that the
governor was in no sense a candidate
for the nomination and did not desire
that such a proposition be put up 10

Shields was one of those who was pre-
pared TO oppose any effort 10 endorse

Mr. Osborn has done nothing for the
benefit OF the people. He made recon-
lamentations 10 the legislature. which,
| n enacted into law. would have been
Ct great advantage 20 the people bul
the legislature saw nj To reject many
OF his suggestions. That was not the
governors fault. The blame rests en-
tirely with the legislature. And the
people know IL. But the governor did
two great things. We say. He appoint
ed two commissions. one TO investigate
the subject OF employers liability and
draw up bill and the other TO look
into the matter of taxation and advise
changes which would result In more
equitable system and bring more rev
enue TO the state
Il Is true the governor paroled a
number OF Marquette prisoners. but lac
was familiar with their cases ana act
ed as ne thought best. II is matter
OF opinion only. and Mr.. Shields Is en-
titled 10 his. as 10 whether Il was
wise 10 grant those particular paroles.
Time alone Will tell whether the COVER
nOr's judgment was correct, and
whether he was justified in releasing
the men and giving them another
chance TO make good.
The governor of course, cannot be
blamed for many things his friends
have said concerning his future. Some
OF them perhaps have been over-zcal-
Gus. but that was due 10 their en-
thusiasm. And as far as the COVER
nor's criticism of certain leading Re
publicans is concerned that simply
shows he has the courage OF his con-
victions, that he talks right from the
shoulder and that he is able To meas
ure public sentiment as accurately as
IL can be measured.
The governor undoubtedly will have
something 10 say about this Shields
attack. He isn't the kind Of a man to
sit back and let II pass unnoticed, and
when he does reply, which we expect
he will do i'm the near future. we an
tlcipate the people OF Michigan will
find he can take care of himself In this
instance as in all others he has to deal
with.

Evidences are not lacking that the

ready TO lead a hard fight against Gov

governor by Senator Guy Miller of De-

bucked the governor at every turn

governor will be a candidate for re-
nomination. He has said that he will

One of the strongest points in the

The Detroit Journal. as every Repub-
lican In Michigan knows. is one OF the
stair newspapers which are endeaVor-
ing to discredit the governor with the
people of the state because he has not
done the bidding OF the coterie
OF machine politicians OF Wayne coun-
" who had things To their liking for
many years until that independent
fearless man, Chase :. Osborn stepped
into the executive chair determined Ia
represent the people as whole. The
governor proceeded 10 do things he
thought would rebound 10 the benefit
OF the people and he did not ask the
permission Of the Wayne county ring
beforehand. The people, also the poll
ticians. speedily awoke TO the fact that
they had a real governor. The people
realized that here was a man they
could trust, one who could attack a
wrong or urge needed changes with
out fear of injuring himself, and the
politicians as quickly arrived at the
conclusion that here was a man they
couldn't trihe with.
Mr.. Shields, In attacking the COVER

which Mr. Shields is supposed to rep
resent as one Of the upper peninsula
tee. The people. We are certain, have
had ample reason To place their con
idence in the governor and we believe
they do thoroughly trust him. As for
Mr. Shields we are not surprised he
should attack the governor. for it has
been our belief from the start he
never was very strong for Osborn.
When the Upper Peninsula Osborn
club was organized an effort was made
10 raise funds for the campaign. but
Mr.. Osborn had nothing TO do with
this movement personally. II was di-
rected entirely by his friends through
out the upper peninsula. The mining
companies may have been asked TO
contribute We do not know. But If
they did contribute we see no great
crime in that inasmuch as the people
OF the state knew before the primary
that Mr.. Osborn was OPP
posed to the tonnage tax.
We take exception To the fact that

compare very favorably with the

reason to be proud of the results

An over the country Democrats who
had been favorable 10 Wilson at the
start are failing away some for one
reason. some for another There may
be a suspicion that fully as effective
as Wilson's turning on Harvey was
the disclosure of the desire which he
had entertained in 1897 for the knock
ing of Colonel Bryan into a cooked
hat. on that subject Colonel Bryan
very discreetly has had nothing 10
say. but his friends have said great
deal. There is a possibility that Colo
mel Bryan himself will loom up as a
candidate for nomination a fourth
time at the hands of the Democratic
party. II he does he will receive a
great deal of support that would have
gone To Wilson. The Wilson boom
looks weaker now than at any time
since L was started.
