The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1888-11-02

If there is any office in this county in
which the people are deeply interested, 1t
is that of Judge of Probate, as no one can
tell when estates in which they are direct
ly interested may be brought before him
for adjudication. and on his business ca
pacity and good judgement may depend
the saving of an estate TO a widow and or
phan children. In many cases the death
of man who had been actively engaged
in business pursuits or carrying on his
farm, leaves his estatesentangled in debts,
causing no end of trouble and care to the
widow and minor children, and it can
readily be seen how necessary 1t is that
the Judge of Probate should be man cap
able of bringing order out of chaos, deal.
ing honestly with all parties, and settling
the estate in such manner as to save TO
the bereaved family every dollar that is
rightfully their due. The titles to all the
real estate in the county are likely, sooner
or later, to depend on the action of the
probate court and the Judge should be a
man thoroughly posted in the laws relating
10 real estate and the titles thereto, and
the books in his office should be promptly
written up so that the record of nll trans
actions may be perfect. he ought also to
be man of great firmness and decision of
character, as well as of a judicial cast of
mind, as there arc oftentimes cases brought
before him in which there conflicting claims
and testimony and he is called upon to
decide between the contestants and sec
that justice is done 10 all.
These arc some of the reasons why IL is
Of peculiar Importance TO our citizens that
this office, above all Others, should be filed
with a competent official and why they
should weigh well their action before cast
ing their ballots for the nominees. For
this office the Republicans have nominated
Mathew Bush, Of Vernon, u gentleman
who is eminently qualified for the place in
every particular.

The candidate for County Clerk, Lester
j. Kenney, was born where the city of
Saginaw now stands, in 1S42, and came to
this county with his father, James Ken
ney. in 1915, who bought quarter section
of land in the township of Middlebury,
upon which the family has ever since re-
sided. it being at the time dense forest
and bowling wilderness, their nearest
neighbor being nearly three miles away.
At that time what is now the beautiful
township of Fairfield was unorganized and
attached to the township of Middlebury,
end the equalzed valuation of the two
townships was seventeen thousand dollars,
and there was levied that year for State,
county. town and school taxes five hun
dred and fourteen dollars. The assess
ment roll for both townships contained
sixteen names, of which d. ID. Slocum
only survives. Mr.. Kenney enjoys the
pleasant satisfaction, after many years of
weary toll, of privatIons and hardshps in
assisting to clear up and make home. of
seeing those vast forests gradually fade
away before the steady blows of the sturdy
pioneers ak, until in their places there is
now one Of the finest townships, dotted
with the most beautiful homes and farms in
the Slate, with an equalized valuation of
four hundred and seventy.eIght thousand
dollars. We mention the above facts for
the reason that we believe the people OF
Shiawassee County owe debt of gratitude
TO all of these old pioneers that are left,
but are fast passing away, and will not fail
to give Mr.. Renney "a hearty support ire
spective of party on the 9th of November
next that will eject him by rousing ma
jority. He served the last year of the war
in Company d. First Michigan Cavalry.
and at the close was discharged on the
plains of Kansas, and has been Adjutant
of Geo A. Winans Post No. 104, G.. A.
r., Ovid, Mich, for two years. and is
member Of the Shiawassee County Pioneer
Society. lie has held the office of Town
ship Clerk eight years and is now serving
his eighth year as Supervisor, receiving
the unanimous vote of his party at the
caucus and the polls, there being less than
thirty votes cast against him last spring in
the township. During his long and con-
tinued official experience as Clerk and Su
peryisor he has become thoroughly famil-
lar with the workings of the County
offices, and consequently thoroughly COM
petent TO take charge of the important
office of County Clerk. On the 18th day
of January, 1887, Mr.. Kenney submitted a
resolution 10 the Board of Supervisors, and
succeeded in its adoption. reducing the
cost of abstracts to residents of the county
oDe-half, and every laboring man that has
been obliged to procure an abstract since
that time has had the benefit of that reso-
luton by getting his abstract for one-half
what it would have cost before that time,
and we believe that those beneficiaees of
that resolution will gratefully remember
its author on next election day at the
polls.

Oliver s. Smith, candidate for Rep
resentative in the State Legislature from
the second district'of Shiawassee county, is
a man in every way capable of filing that
important office. Coming into the county
35 years ago he has grown up with it and
is well informed as 10 its needs in the mat
ter of legislation. A practical farmer most
of his life, a practicing lawyer, man well
acquainted with business matters, three
times elected as supervisor in Ingham
county and now serving his third term as
supervisor at large of the city of Owosso
and having given proof of his loyalty
and patriotism by giving over four years of
his young manhood to the service of his
country, he is worthy of receiving the
entire vote of his party.
Republicans of Shiawassee should see to
it that the meagre majority in the U. 5.
Senate is not further reduced, but insure
so far as they can the continuance of that
majority by electing DR.. ]. b. F. Curtiss
and 0. S. Smith as Representatives and
giving Mr.. Holbrook such majority in
this county as will ensure his reelection as
State Senator from this district.

Ezra Mason, the present County Treas
urer. was born in Owosso township Nov.
8. 1889, being the first white child born IN
that township outside ofOwosso Citv,
which at that time formed part of the
township.
Mr.. Mason received a common school
education. and after leaving school stud.
led surveying He graduated from COM
mercial college a, Ann Arbm. at which
place he obtained thorough knowledge
of bookkeeping. He commnced the prac-
lice OF surveying in 1860 and has followed
that vocation most of the time since. serv-
ing as County Surveyor for nearly twelve
years. He was elected Supervisor of
Owosso township in 1870. and held that
office for nine years, two years of which
he was chosen and served as chairman of
the Board of Supervisors. In 1880 he was
elected to the Office of Secretary of the
Shiawassee County Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, and has held that Office TO the
present time. During his occupancy
of tins office the company has iE-
creased IN amount of property at risk
nearly one million of dollars, and also in
membership more than six hundred. and
the company now stands among the fore
most in the State of Michigan.
Mr.. Mason has held the Office Of County
Treasurer for nearly two years, and SO
carefully and correctly has the business of
that Office been performed that, although
more than seventy thousand dollars have
passed through his hands each year the
Board of Supervisors in settling with him
have been unable to detect an error Of q
cent. He is candidate for reelection as
County Treasurer this fall. The Fusion
nominee for this Office declining to allow
his name to run, the Prohibition nominee
was indorsed by them, thus giving Mr.
Mason's Prohibition opponent the com
bined strength of the Democratic, Green
back and Prohibition parties. However
if Mr. Mason's friends throughout tho
county support him this fall as they have
in time past he will undoubtedly be re-
elected

From the New York Press: Minister
West has acknowledged that he wrote
letter to an American citizen urging him
TO vote for the Democratic candidate on
the ground that by so doing he would best
serve the interests of the mother country
In view of this fact it must be admitted
that the comments of the Tribune are in
no way too severe. IL is II disgraceful
piece of business anyhow, but especially
humiliating when we realize that the State
Department is in the hands of man who
stands for foreign rather than American
interests
