anu laCer moved TO WIlaC is LOW
the Osborn district of Phoenix, his
family giving it's name to that To-
cality. His mother came to the Salt
River Valley as a child in 1869 when
the present townsite of Phoenix was
a mesquite thicket.
He graduated from the Phoenix
high school in 1903. He was the
youngest delegate to the Arizona
constitutional convention, and was
at one time associated with the pub
lication of The Arizona Democrat,
Phoenix daily evening newspaper.
In the first election after state
hood he was chosen secretary of
State, being the youngest man in
the United States ever elected to
that office. He was reelected for a
second and third term, each time
by increasing majorities.
For the past decade he has been
the editor and publisher of Dun
bars Weekly, paper that has at
tractad nationwide attention thru
its piercing, pungent wit. The Liter
ary Digest has quoted Dunbar's
more widely than any other paper.
He is married, and has a daughter
attending college.
Mr.. Osborn assumed the chair
manship of the democratic party in
Arizona when the country was in
the lowest depths of the financial
depression. Arizona industrial con-
dltlons were then. in worse chaotic
tage than those Of any other state
IN the Union, because it's greatest
industry, copper mining, had been
closed down, throwing more than
10000 people out of employment and
outtlng mai:y of them in the bread
line. He has worked tirelessly to
remedy these disastrous conditions.
Under his Craftsmanship the demo
cratic party in Arizona during the
last campaign elected the entire
democratic ticket by the largest
majority ever given any party in
this State Tt was one of the few
'ampalgas where ali bills were paid
when presented. Instead of there
being a deficit at it's close, there
Fas small balance in the party
treasury. The campaign was clean
| and left no bitterness. After the
last primary, the party was uni sd
which had lot happened since the
;irst state elac'ica.
His leadership has received the
approval and praise of not only the
state leaders and county chairmen
but OF the national leaders as we'll,
including National Chairman Far
ley. Under the most trying eondi-
t1ons he has been uniformly cour-
teou5 and considerate with the re-
suit that the party has been built
up into a harmonious whole.
Since attaining his majority, the
office of Collector of Internal Re-
venue is the only appointive office
he has ever held. Before he accepted
this office it was offered to him the
third time, and he was also offered
the PoStmaster1hip of Phoenix, and
declined the appointment.
Tribute To Roosevelt
In announcing his candidacy for
United States Senator he said in
part as follows:
Il wish to first pay tribute to the
inspired leadership of President
Roosevelt. I am proud of the part
took in securing an instructed
delegation from our State for him
at the National Convention, and
take pride in the fact that the
Democratic party of Arizona, under
my leadership gave him the greatest
majority ever given any Presidential
candidate in this State.
Il have a personal acquaintance
! ship with the President, extending
over the past ten years. I know he
does not respect yes men, but ex-
poets the representatives of the var
ious States to discuss their prob
lens with him and fight for the in
tere1ts OF their people. He is al
ways open to conviction and will
assist those who convince him OF
the worthiness of their cause.
'As a Senator, I will give minute
