The democrat papers state that Patrick
Jordan, their candidate for countytreasurer,
has served several terms" as supervisor of
Antrim. This is a mistake; he has served
but one term and was elected then because
the republicans were divided. Mr.. Jordan
will find no division of sentiment this time
The voters of Shiawassee county will tell
him to stay at home by a majority of not
less than thousand. The successful can
didate will he Rudolph Colby.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1894-11-02

The popularity of Rudolph Colby where
he is best known Is shown by the fact that
he received 1919 majority last spring for
supervisor in his township. This vote shows
that his neighbors and friends have entire
confidence in him. The people of Shiawas-
see county will all come to know him as a
friend before his first term as county treas
urer expires. He Is pre-eminently the
young mans candidate and will receive a
flattering vote from the younger voters OF
the county.
