is in every way fitted for the place, and

Gratiot County Journal: Owosso puts
forward a candidate for the Office of Super
intendent of Public Instruction in the per-
son of James N. Mcbride, of that city,
Ithaca has no candidate for the position, we
believe; and wishing to see the Office filled
by an educated, accomplished gentleman,
one fitted by training and experience to I'LL
the Office with credit to the State, and by a
good republican wlthal, we have no hesi-
fancy in endorsing the support already Civ
EN- him by the OwossO Times and several
other papers in sister towns.
Ann Arbor Register: The candidacy of
Mr.. James n. Mcbride for Superintendent
of Public Instruction is a decidedly good
one. 1t is Just that kind of a man who is
needed in such position. We have known
Mr.. Mcbride for number of years, both
while a University student and since he left
school, and the more we know of him, the
more strongly are we persuaded that he
would add much strength to our public
school system by being elected to the office
of State Superintendent of Public lnstruc-
ton. AS strong and enthusiastic supporter
of republican principles, Mr.. Mcbride does
not take a back seat to any one, but this
does not, and should not, count for much,
when it comes to considering the special
qualifications necessary to fill successfully a
position of this kind. These latter, and all
important ones, Mr.. Mcbride certainly has.
This fact should, and we believe will, settle
the matter i'm his favor when the time comes.
We certainly believe that the republicans of
Michigan could not do better than to place
the name of Mr.. Mcbride on their ticket.
Flushing Observer: The Shiawassee
county papers have started boom for Jas.
n. Mcbride, of Owosso, for Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and his many friends
in that county will vigorously push his can
didacy for that position in the forthcoming
republican State convention. Mr.. Mcbride
is progressive and talented young man
and is worthy and competent to fill the posi-
ton to which he aspires.
