The Senatorship.


in all parts of the State. Thus far the con-
test has been u friendly one so far as the
candidates themselves are concerned and Is
likely to he so to the close.
The TIMES has endeavored to learn the
sentiment OF the republicans of the county
and is able to give the opinion of number
Of the party workers Judging from the
replies we have received to our inquiries
and the statement of many others, we feel
perfectly safe in say ing that at least 05 per
cent of the republicans of the county favor
either Senator Patton or Congressman Bur-
rows for the election.
The opinions expressed are as follows:
Supervisor K. F. Kay, Woohull: My
choice for u. s. Senator for the short term
is John Patton Jr. My second choice is ID.
M. Estey, of Owosso. We must keep j. Z.
Burrows in the House. He is necessity
there.
Hon. j. w. Dewey: Patton is my man.
Burrows should stay in the House; he can
do Michigan much more good there than in
the Senate. Senator Patton is one of the
best men sent to the Senate in recent years.
G. S. Dickinson, New Haven't Rather
think Burrows is the man, although he is
leader in the House.
X. S. Burnett, Burns: am strong ad-
mirer Of Burrows. He is my first choice.
My second choice il Senator Patton, who is
bright man, stalwart republican and
i,of,x, ,fitlad fo tho oIaoficp
j. N. Mcbride, OwOsso: From my Ubser-
walton and conversation with republicans
in the western part of the county, am con-
vinced that rs per cent are in favor of j. G.
Burrows for the short term Senatorship.
s. E. Parkill, city: prefer Senator Pat
ton.
N. K Potter, Burns: John Patton, Jr.
believe that If given chance Patton will
be useful Senator for Michigan. am
tired of seeing men elected for their money
instead of their ability.
Perry Hadsall. Burns: John Patton, Jr.
Alex Puryes, treasurer, Owosso: believe
Senator Patton ought to be sent back. He
is a first class man for'the position.

means Patton. He has made a splendid
record SO far.

ion that Senator Patton should be reelected.

He is entitled to it.
