and later was chosen the first Sc
cretary of state following admission
of the state to the Union, being
the youngest man in the United
States ever elected to that office
He was electd to second and third
term, each time by increasing ma
jorities.
For time as young man Mr..
Osborn was associated with the
publication of The Arizona Demo-
crat, a. Phoenix evening daily, and
for the past IA years he has been
editor and publisher of Dunbar's S
Weekly which has attracted ma
tion-wide attention through its
piercing, pungent wit. He is mar
ried and has one daughter.
State Chairman
Mr.. Osborn aSkumed chairman
ship of the Democratic party in
Arizona in 1882 when the country
was in the lowest depths of the
financial depression. Arizona's in
dustrial conditions were then at a
more chaotic stage than those Of
any other state in the Union, due
largely to the closing down Of its
great copper mines, which threw
&c, 900 people out of employment
and put many of them in the
breadlines. He worked tireleSsly as
sisting to find the way out of that
situation, and his efforts were
, largely rewarded.
Under his Craftsmanship, the DEM
ocratic party in Arizona elected it's
entire ticket by huge majoritieS. It
was one of the few campaigns
where all bills were paid when pre-
sented, and instead of the custom
ary deficit at the close there was
a small balance in the treasury.
His management Of the party re
ceived approval and praise not on
ly of state leaders and county chair
men, but national leaders as we'll,
including National Chairman James
| A. Farley.
Since attaining his majority Mr..
Osborn has held but one appointive
office, that of internal revenue col
lector for Arizona, which post he
accepted and held for year after
it had been offered to him for the
third time. He also was offered
the postmastership of the city of
Phoenix, but declined the appoint
ment.

Shorty says most mules can do
these jobs, but many "flunk" when

The others are taken onto the

ceivable test.

On the backs of Shorty's "old

Capitol, one of the features 1t can be
said to possess is a Photographic
technique which heretofore has been
associated with French motion pic
lures. In other words, even before
it is due time to say that he has
retained the best features OF each,
it is in order to observe that M.
Duvivier has merged the two styles
of film making. He has had many
important ideas with reference to
putting the camera in unusual po-
sitions and the result is a photo
graphic product that is extremely
arresting in some of its phases.
Whatever worries the studio may
have on the score Of casting the
picture with lesser box office names,
and it is reported to have a mis-
giving or two, seem entirely unjuStl-
fed, If there is any one in Holly
wood who can sing with Mlllza
Korjas-the soprano imported from
Vienna-some one has been missing
terrific bet in not letting her sing.
Miss Korjus may not be the most
beautiful girl in the world. In fact
she looks something like Mae West
after a severe period of dieting. That
will be quite all right for any one
who is willing to settle for a song as
screen songs have not been sung
before.
