Osborn is also the second native-born governor of Arizona, preceded by Thomas Edward Campbell.[1] Early years and political riseOsborn worked as a page for the Arizona Territorial Legislature in 1898, and later a secretary to the Congressional Delegate John Frank Wilson (1903–1905).{{sfn|Capace|1999|p=121}} 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.[2] Career in the state of ArizonaDespite being elected three times as secretary of state by wide margins in the 1910s,[3] Osborn had little political success for the next two decades. He lost two primaries for governor in 1924[4] and 1938,[5] and a Senate primary against Henry F. Ashurst in 1934.[6] Despite a narrow primary win in 1940,[7] his elections as a gubernatorial nominee never went below 60% of the vote. His governing style was no-nonsense. The best example occurred at the very beginning of his governorship: Upon taking office, Osborn had the state's top officials turn in a signed, but undated, resignation letter. If an official became an embarrassment to the state, Osborn would date the letter, and announce the official had resigned. During his fourth term, Osborn suffered from Lou Gehrig's Disease and was hardly able to communicate with his staff. He eventually died in office in 1948 and was succeeded by Dan Garvey. Osborn was buried in Phoenix's Greenwood/Memory Lawn Mortuary & Cemetery. Despite numerous conceptions, Osborn Road in Phoenix was not named after Osborn. It was first named as such in 1900 when Osborn was 16.[8] References1. ^*{{cite web|url=http://www.nga.org/cms/home/governors/past-governors-bios/page_arizona/col2-content/main-content-list/title_osborn_sidney.html | title=Arizona Governor Sidney Preston Osborn |date=May 3, 2002|work=Former Governors' Bios|publisher=National Governors Association|accessdate=16 May 2013}} 2. ^http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/osborn.html#287.03.37 3. ^http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=71344 4. ^http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=548555 5. ^http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=515176 6. ^http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=379102 7. ^http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=773815 8. ^{{cite web|title=Phoenix Street Names|url=http://www.mcdonaldlawaz.com/aroundaz/phoenix-streets.htm|accessdate=1 August 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101127001348/http://mcdonaldlawaz.com/aroundaz/phoenix-streets.htm|archivedate=27 November 2010|df=}} Bibliography{{refbegin}}
