Reports from Chicago show that
there was persistent talk OF a second
term for Gov Osborn among the Mich
igan politicians attending the national
convention. In connection with the
vice-presidential nomination 1t was
frequently stated that Osborn's
speech at Lansing at the time of La
Follette's intended visit was the
thing that really crystalized senti-
ment in favor Of Roosevelt, and that
with Roosevelt at the head OF the
ticket, Osborn could have the vice
presidential nomination II he would
accept 1t.

| Discussing the topic OF direct pTl-
maries in an editorial the Coldwater
Courier says:
| Let us assume, for a moment, that
there Is such a person as the average
voter. and that he brings to the sub
iject of direct primaries an open mind.
Let us imagine him listening first to
/ the men who are most eager for di-
rect primaries and who expect the
most attractive results from the aboli-
ton of nominating conventions. They
will tell him that with direct pri-
maries In operation the world will be
better place than he has ever found
I it, and better than he thinks 1t cap
able of becoming.
Governor Osborn has given out the
| list OF charges which he has prefer
red against Robert II. Shields. chair
man of the state tax commission.
They are serious enough to warrant
thorough investigation The gov
ernor reflects upon Shields as an Of
fcer and a man in his charges. and
they should be sifted until the people
of the state know the truth The
position that Mr. Shields occupies is
one of large responsibility, and there
should not be any suspicion attached
, TO the occupant. Undoubtedly Mr..
Shields will be given opportunity to
defend himself before a competent
and impartial jury. Either the gov
ernor Is wrong or Mr.. Shields has
committed malfeasance An ipvesti-
cation will disclose the facts.-Flint
Daily Journal.
They will tell him that among the
opponents of direct primaries he will
| find most of the bosses, big and lit
| tie, most OF the men whose place IN
politics would be endangered by any
thing that interfered with the smooth
working of the political machine.
Now let him listen to the op-
ponents OF direct primaries. They
will tell him that direct primaries
are clumsy, an abandonment Of rep
resentative government, unavoidable
advocated by none save crazy en-
thusasts.
IF he turns to states where this
unavoidable direct primary system is
actually at work he will find one sur.
prising example OF its possibilities
In Wisconsin with direct primaries In
operation, Isaac Stephenson became
the Republican candidate FOR the
United States senate. His campaign
for the nomination cost him a little
more than a hundred thousand dol.
lars,
THE average voter, however. may
discover before he has gone far in his
inquiry that the Stephenson case Is
exceptional, and yet a representative
case may be found nearer home-a
candidate for the Republican nomina
ton for governor withdraws because
OF the vast fortune that would be re.
quired to make the fight under the
present primary laws of Michigan"

Senator Townsend of Michigan is
designated by the Baltimore Star as
"the good little boy" of the senate
The Star says that this title has al
ways belonged to Senator Cullom, be-
cause of his steady attendance upon
sessions of the senate and his famili-
arity with all questions arising there.
But Cullom has lost his seat. land the
officials of the senate are looking
around for a senator to take his
place as the good little boy of the
senate says the Star
The choice seems to have fallen
upon Senator Townsend of Michigan,
for although he is a new senator, dur
ing his short period Of Office he has
been most regular In attendance, and
not only comes early. but remains in
his seat during the long day. In fact,
Senator Townsend has elected COM
ment from the old-timers because he
seems always to be in his seat paying
