WHY WE SUPPORT OSBORN.


person addressed support Mr. New.
berry's candidacy for the United
States senate We wish to say to our
readers who receive them that those
letters were never written by Mr.
Mulberry, not even composed by him
Mr., Newberry Is not in touch at all
with the writer OF them. Only recent
ly Mr. Newberry stated that II don't
know much OF what is going on back
there and IN that statement lies, IN
our mind. the greatest objection to
Mr.. Newberry as a United States SEN
ator He is one of the absentee land
lords OF Michigan, spending most OF
his time outside OF the state. much the
same as Mr.. Brlce OF Ohio did In his
day. and to whose election by the DEM
ocrats Of Ohio much opposition was
raised by the republicans of that state.
Those personal letters are bunk
stuff. The nearest they come to any
personal flavor Is from the Office girl
who addressed the letters from a
stock list taken from the poll books
Don't let any of that personal ap-
peal" bunk sway your judgment, vot-
ers. Vote for the man you think will
do the most for you in the re-organi-
zation that is going to follow this
great war
Mr. Newberry is a man of great In.
herited wealth; good citizen and
personally admirable. but Of bearing
so far removed from the life OF the av-
erage toiler-th man who depends
upon his own hands or his brain for
his place in the ranks of mankind
as to put him out Of sympathy with
those great underlying questions that
are going to agitate mankind for the
next decade Mr.. Newberry is admir-
ably equipped to legislate for invest
ed wealth and the continued power Of
the possessor OF II. but he is not able
to attune his ideas to the trials and
tribulations of the average toller; and
II is the condition of the toiler that is
going to monopolize the attention OF
the legislator the next decade
Chase S. Osborn knows both sides
Of this question OF life He learned
by hard knocks when he tramped the
woods OF Iron county soliciting work
for his little printing press at Flor
ence He won a competency by his
fortunate discovery of iron ore in
Canada. He Is not a rich man as the
term is interpreted nowadays, but is
comfortably situated Nor has he for
saken the locality In which he won his
fame. He continues 10 live in the 500
and to circulate among the people OF
ALL classes in the state. He knows
the difficulties OF the farmer. OF the
common laborer and of the artisan
and the struggles they have TO get on
In the world. His knowledge in this
line Is supplemented by an intimate
knowledge OF money and investments
and OF the necessity for safeguarding
both
They call him erratic-those who
oppose him--and in their position they
are in many cases, honest He has
appeared erratic to them because he
has tempered the hard, cold. conserva-
tive view OF the man who sees life on
ly from the money counter with the
warm zephyrs that arise from the
troubles and tears OF him who is weary
and heavy laden.
We honestly believe that with all OF
his so-called erratic tendencies, Chase
s. Osborn Is better fitted by nature
and by position to pass upon the posi-
tion of the average man today than Is
Mr. Newberry who knows only OF our
trials through the reports Of the un-
der official who. In the atmosphere Of
private Office, tells him OF them.
