FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS, DANIEL y.
RCNNELS.
Daniel n. Runnels, Republican cam
dinate for register of deeds, is well
known throughout st. Clair county.
he was born in Maine in 1887, came TO
Michigan i'll 1856 and has lived in Port
Huron ever since. He was engaged in
the booming and rafting business on
Black river until it ceased about ten
years ago, and during that time he
worked as hard as any man IN st.
Clair county. To u greater or less ex-
tent, for 30 years he has been engaged
in pile driving and is engaged in that
business at present. lie has employed
as high as 20 men, and his business in
terests today gives employment to up
wards of 35 men. During all these
years he has never had any trouble
with his employees, has never been sued
by them for wages, but has always paid
promptly dollar for dollar.
His pluck and industry have saved
him from failure several times, espe-
cially in the Bachelor failure in 1874,
when he lost by Endorsements over
$4,000.
He is one of the best hearted men in
Michigan. No man ever asked him for
favor in vain, and this has become so
generally known that he Is often
victimized by unworthy persons. He
has given to the poor and to charitable
institutions more than any other man
in st. Clair County in proportion to his
means, and those who know him intl-
mately say that at least % per cent OF
his net earnings is spent in that way
Among those with whom he is intim'
ately acquainted he Is known as hon
est Dan Runnels, and his word is as
good as his bond to the extent of the
last dollar he owns.
He is liberal supporter of public
enterprises, and has by his means and
energy helped every enterprise tina
has tended to advance the interests OF
Port Huron since he has lived here.
No man takes more active interes
in the welfare of Port Huron and st
Clair county today than he does.
He is not All Office seeker but hai
been nominated by his friends anC
elected to various positions of trust
He was alderman of Port Huron fol
six years preceding 1877, and that yea
was elected mayor, and was reelected
in 1878. He is the only Republican
who has been twice elected mayor O
Port Huron in succession except the
present incumbent. Since then he ha
been twice elected treasurer of Por
Huron, once a member of the BoarC
of Estimates, and is at present mem
Der of the Board of Water Commission
ers. In these varied duties he was al
ways found kind, courteous ant
obliging, u man whom any one fel
at liberty to approach and ask for in
formation with the assurance of kim
and gentlemanly treatment.
lie attends the NJ. +. church, is
man of good habits, and his mora
character is unquestioned.
1t should be borne in mind that tn
: Office of register of deeds is one wher
every person Is compelled to go a
times for information concerning hi
property interests. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that the incumbent should b
u man to whom all persons could fee
at liberty to go for information with
! out regard to their education or finan
: cial standing, with the assurance tina
they would receive prompt attention
and he treated with courtesy and kind
ness. No man is better fitted thai
Mr.. Runnels for that position. BE
sides being an accurate and homes
business man, he has that free, opel
5 manner that makes everyone feel a
home in his presence. Every ma
D will be treated alike and the informa
ton he desires furnished if the record
of the office contain it. Mr.. Runnel
says if elected he will give the offic
: his personal attention.
s Mr.. Runnels ought to receive so
= majority in the City of Port Huron
and if those he has helped and ha
Z been friend to take this opportunit
D of showing their appreciation, his ms
] iority will exceed those figures, and a
: st. Clair county outside of Port Hu
ron is naturally Republican, his cleo
ton would seem to be assured.
