Mr.. kNox's STATEMENT.
Says Governor Had No Part in Col
Iectina Campaign Funds.


W. Frank Knox, Of the 500, who
managed the Osborn campaign. made
the following statement when shown
the recent statement of Robert IL.
Shields:
Il did ask Mr.. Shields TO help me
raise campaign fund in the upper
peninsula II is not true that he re-
fused. He merely failed. and as a re-
suit was compelled TO handle the mat
ter alone.
throughout the primary campaign
the governor was not only the cham
pioh and representative OF the upper
peninsula in purely sentimental. po-
litical way, but because of the agita-
tion for a tonnage tax carried on by
his opponents for the effect II would
have on the Osborn candidacy he be-
came the upper peninsula's defender
in n very vital business sense. 1t was,
firmly believe. Chase Osborn's cour-
age and irlnness I'm meeting the dema-
gOgic attacks upon the mining indus
try that alone prevented hasty and Ill
advised treatment of the subject OF
mine taxation, just as similar qualities
In the late Governor Johnson of Min
nesota once served u like purpose.
Naturally | felt that the financial
support rendered the Osborn campaign
committee by upper peninsula people,
under such circumstances. ought to
be generous. AS q result of my efforts,
and / think | may say partially. as
a result Of my advice. the mining men
got together and instead of contribut-
ing Individually TO any campaign fund
determined upon campaign of public
ity TO combat the tonnage tax propo-
ganda, conducted frankly and openly
under their own auspices and provid-
ing the farmer voter bo,aw the straits
with both figures and orguments on
the subject OF mine taxation. IL was
the first time In the history of
Michigan that such frank and open
methods had been employed by any
business interest under political at
tack. The success which attended IL
ought to make its use universal In this
state hereafter whenever a square deal
Is all that Is sought.
"As To the campaign committee fund,
II was a modest affair. totalling less
than $1,000, almost all of which was
raised in the 500 or in lower Michigan.

who wanted Osborn, to win the COVER

dollar contributed. The governor had
