that Mr.. Osborn will have a support
that will have TO be reckoned with be-
fore the primary Is held Not only has
Mr.. Osborn the active support of a
great many Of the influential men OF
the state, but he has also the support
of large number OF the weekly news
papers OF the state.
The weekly newspapers TO large

people in the communities in which
they are published, for the editors OF
the country newspapers more than
those Of the metropolitan press, per-

better position to Judge to whom they
are going to give their support and

Mr.. Osborn has not been a manufac-
turer OF automobiles but he has been
a worker all his life and his sympa-
thies have always been with the man
who works. During his term as gov
ernor he left no stone unturned to
have laws enacted that would rebound
