WILSON IS GIVEN
 AS TAFT REMEDY
Hopes "All Good Republi- cans Will Refuse to Join the Party of Nal
 c0ntents.'

Lansing, Mich, July 9. Gov. Chase E Osborn Of Michigan, ir. a statement issued late today, expresses the wish that all good Republicans willrefuse to join the malcontents'. in the formation of a new party and says those who are not satisfied with Mr. Taft as a pres.dentia! candidate can get what they desire by vol ing for Woodrow Wilson.
 The governors statement fol- lows: T am not inconsistent in the position l have taken that Republicans need not bolt their party and will not be considered as having bolted if they vote for Woodrow Wilson. Many of the most prominent and influential Democrats in the country did not support Bryan.
 They remained Democrats, nevertheless, and are all support Woodrow Wilson now. I do not think a new party erected upon the passions of any number of men can live. When those who righteously angry because of the action at Chicago come to their senses they will discover that they angry at certain men in the Republican party and not the splendid old party itself.
