1t Was Always Hard
For These to Follow a
Chase Osborn Message

We feel like congratulating Chase ,.
Osborn upon the fact that his announce
ment for his candidacy for the United
States senate finds those old enemies VIC
we're always Of so much assistance to
him, still on deck
They have read the announcement ano
find absolutely nothing in it by way OF
principle that they DARE criueise at
this time, so replete Is it with good, pure
sound and vigorous American doctrine
or lust what the people Of the country
and Michigan are looking for.
Exception is taken by those who never
liked the ex-governor, either poLucaliy
or personally, to the appearance ia the
announcement of one or two words not
in common use and to his reference to the
boobook, which, it appears upon consult
ing natural history, Is an Australian
owl.
We didn't know what boobook was
ourselves. but we felt sure when we
found it in an Osborn message that 1t
was all right, just the same as every
thing else we ever found in an Osborn
message turned out TO be at right
But it was always hard for few Ke-
pubhcans in Michigan to follow Osborn
and hard for them to understand him.
The rank and file of the party has
found it much easier.
Generally he does not speak until ne
has studied what ne intends saying; and
when he wants to introduce something
on the order of an owl of which we have
never heard, he can do so readily because
he has travelled and knows exactly where
he can put his hand on that particular
bird.
So when Osborn became governor OF
Michigan, he proved to everybody that
he had studied and thought about that
particular job, and knew exactly what
men he wanted with him and what men
he did not want with him for the good
of the party and for the good Of Michi-
gan.
He introduced some reforms which
were Greek to the SNUG crowd that had
been in charge in Michigan.
For one thing, they said he was a
radical"
They understand better today what ne
was getting at because the country has
followed along after Osborn and become
radical, too.
The truth of the matter is, Osborn
saw ahead of them and ahead Of his time.
He arrived but his time had not.
We believe now that the two can go
along together and that Michigan is in a
better position to realize just how great
a man, just how brilliant man, just
how courageous man and just how
good a man he is who offers his services
to her in the upper house Of congress.
We believe Chase 5. Osborn when he
tells US that his own happiness does not
depend upon a senate seat
We believe him when he says that his
happiness DOES depend upon the offer
Of his services to his state.
And we believe the people Of Michigan
will gladly accept those services when
the time comes.
