More information

Osborn worked as a page for the Arizona Territorial Legislature in 1898, and later a secretary to the Congressional Delegate John Frank Wilson (1903-1905). For a time Osborn worked as a newspaper reporter and editor; later he served as a delegate to the Arizona state constitutional convention of 1910.



Despite being elected three times as Secretary of State by wide margins in the 1910s, Osborn had little political success for the next two decades. He lost two primaries for Governor in 1924 and 1938, and a Senate primary against Henry F. Ashurst in 1934. Despite a narrow primary win in 1940, his elections as a gubernatorial nominee never went below 60% of the vote.
