cHAs S. OSBORN WILL RUN
Says That II His Candidacy viii Serve to
AmaIagamate Factions He's Ready

The most important announcement
in political circles in Michigan
during the week was the
statement from New York that
Chase S Osborn will be candidate
for governor if his candidacy Is nee
essary to amalgamate both factions Of
the republican party While this an.
nouncement is not definite statement
of his candidacy II Is sufficiently clear
TO make probable the entry OF Mr..
Osborn or some strong man like Arthur
Vandenberg who can draw back the
confidence OF the people to the republi.
can candidate for governor again
The democrats will undoubtedly run
Gov. Ferris who, like Mr. Osborn.
does not wish TO be q candidate but
VINO is willing TO make the sacrifice
if his party needs his services. There
is very satisfied feeling with Gov.
Ferris work and were 10 not for the
failure that the national democratic
administration has made of their
management of the country's affairs,
there would be not the least probability
of his defeat The discomfort in
Michigan with the democratic tariff
legislation, especially in the central
section where the farmers have been
nit by the sugar tariff measure, Is
very liable Co turn the state back 10
the republicans with an overwhelming
majority this year In fact. about all
that is necessary is the presence Of a
strong man for the governors Office
Mr.. Osborn alienated great many
of his old supporters during his term
but he won many others to him The
fellows he lost were those who were
not very strongly attached to him
anyway, while the ones he won are
up.and out shouters for him because
Of, as they express it, his independ-
ence OF the candidates In the field
now for the republican nomination,
zone are particularly strong with the
big majority Of the votes that Col1uel
Roosevelt got last time whilo Osborn
is certain 70 g>t almost AL of them
IN addition, he will get good contri-
button from the voters who opposed
Roosevelt, bat not by any means
major portion Of them in fact il is
that vote that will form the nuclcus OF
his opposition
ft is freely claimed that Mr. Osborn
will not get the upper peninsula shonld
he again be candidate but il is be-
lieved that when the votes are counted
those who figure that way Will have 10
revise their dope He will not get
