Michigan's Osborn Era Echoes In State Government
A 1939 Michigan snapshot notes Governor Osborn's warning about centralized power as Dickinson era measures expand state control. Milk price and apple commissions, licensing acts, and a push for pay-as-you-go budgeting show a legislature reshaping governance while deficits loom and a July special session nears.
Governor’s race looms with wide open Republican field
The piece notes a large Republican slate for statewide posts with potential candidates including Loren D. Dickinson and Felix H. Flynn. It mentions possible runs by L. C. Smith, Vernon J. Brown, and Arthur E. Wood among others, and discusses prospects for lieutenant governor bids. It also flags Dickinson’s possible candidacy and calls Old Dick a provocative factor in a fluid political contest.

Brown and Delmet to serve as jurors at federal court
J. H. Brown and James Delmet will leave this weekend for Sault Ste. Marie to serve as jurors at the term of federal court. The Wake field assessed valuation for tax purposes this year is 9 182 310 dollars, down 335 205 from last year, largely due to a 363 000 decline in mine values. The city may raise 136 984 65 for municipal purposes. The board of review finished, adopting state tax commission mine-value figures after last week’s tentative 605 000 cut. Mr and Mrs George Jolliffe and family spent Sunday with relatives at Crystal Falls. Mrs Fred Sutter welcomed a daughter born Tuesday morning at Wakefield General Hospital. Thursday was the hottest May day in 20 years, temperature reaching 98 at noon. John Eliason’s son Ernest telegraphed from Newport News Va that he arrived safely at Camp Stuart, Va, from overseas and is well. Arthur Cavender and James Trebilcock with Frank Martnofner looked over the northwest of Tula Sunday, noting beaver dams and damage.
