The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1898-07-01

Evening Argus:-Hon. William Norton,
st. Johns, was in the city yesterday, coming
over from Corunna after the republican
county convention. Mr.. Norton is candI-
date for the republican nomination for
congress for this district, and had no hesita-
tion in saying so. He is very pleasant
gentleman. and gave an excellent inn
promptu speech, and should Shiawassee
decide not to name candidate from home,
Mr.. Norton may receive some help from our
delegation. The feeling exists that Sagi-
nav county has monopolized the Office long
enough.

State Republican: The st. Johns Republic
can announces that W. A. Norton of that
place is candidate for congress in the
eighth district on the republican ticket A
better selection could not be made, as Mr..
Norton is an able speaker, clear thinker
and possesses the necessary qualifications
otherwise to make useful and able legsla-
tor. If any one can lead the republican
hosts to victory in the old eighth and redeem
it from its present Brucker.ish condition, 1t
seems to us that Mr.. Norton is the chosen
prophet to do this.

Horace M. Oren, OF Sault Ste. Marie, is a
candidate for the republican nomination for
attorney general of Michigan.
MIR. Oren Is thoroughly equipped for the
Office he seeks. He Is at present, and has
been for two terms, prosecuting attorney of
Chippewa county. He is graduate of
both the law and the literary departments of
the University of Michigan, and is in every
sense representative Michigan attorney.
The practice that has come to Mr.. Oren
In his experience of nearly twenty years
has embraced all kinds of commercial, lum-
boring, admiralty and criminal cases, and
fits him for undertaking any legal work the
state of Michigan may have, no matter how
complex. Mr.. Oren is a profound thinker
and an untiring student and can take to the
Office of attorney general all that it compre-
hends or exacts.
In seeking the Office Mr.. Oren realizes
that If successful he will be called upon to
succeed by far the best attorney general
Michigan has ever had-and he is confident
of maintaining the high standard to which
the Office has been brought by its present
occupant.
Mr.. Oren merits in every way and should
have the united support of the Upper
Peninsula in his candidacy. He is a thor
oughly representative citizen, lawyer and
republican. His standing, ability and
character are unassailable and the republic
can party will be doing just the right thing
to make him the next attorney general of
Michigan. He is just such a fearless and
capable lawyer as Michigan needs and
the republican party can supply.-The
Sault st. Marie News.
The TINES heartily endorses the candidacy
of Mr.. Oren, believing him to be the right
man for the position and that the republi-
cans of the upper peninsular should be ac-
corded this important place upon the ticket.

The selection of Hon. F. II. Watson,
of Owosso, as chairman of the republi.
can county committee is an exceeding
ly satisfactory one to all parts of the
county. He understands every detail
of the business in hand and has such
ideas of the campaign that all candi'
dates will receive fair treatment, and
every possible effort made for Their
election. His acquaintance in the
county is wide, his enthusiasm marked
and his republicanism thorough. The
choice was unanimous one and he
will receive the earnest support of the
party. We congratulate the candidates
and the party on his selection.

The evident efforts of The Owosso Press
to stir up fractional fight In the republican
party in this county will fall very short of
the design. The harmony and enthusiasm
of the county convention of Tuesday APP
pears to be an eyesore to the democrats, sill
verites and populsts. The party is united
for the election of every man who is nomi-
mated by the republicans and there is abso-
lutely no factional discord. While there was
a good natured but strong contest for the
control of the senatorial delegation in Tues.
days convention, no bad feeling was engen.
dered and there was no personal strife In
any of the proceedings.

Grand Rapids Herald: The republicans
of the eighth district have 10 candidates for
congress up to date, and the entries are not
yet closed. The fusion forces will undoubt-
eddy renominate Ferdinand Brucker, the
present incumbent. Two years ago Bruck-
er was elected through republican split,
but this year the republicans are united and
Brucker's hackers are by the ears.

One Of the candidates before the ap.

nomination of county officers will be Van

CAN'T UNDERs TAND IT.

PERSONALLY, am I'M able to fathom the
reasons for the opposition, as Senator Bur
rows record In official life Is absolutely
clear. He has never been the champion Of
corporate interests, but always has been a
fair minded friend of the people, watching
their interests always. Especially Is this
true of his course on the tariff, constantly
championing Michigan's interests thereon.
"SenatOr Burrows will return home at
the earliest possible moment after the ques
tons OF vital concern, now before the sen.
ate, are determined, and he will then spend
his entire time In the state campaign for the
republican party. As In the previous cam
paign sincerely hope that the Senator and
Governor Pingree will be on the same plat
form. They certainly are very much In
harmony In regard to the conduct of the
war, and are not very far apart In the advo-
cacy of other measures. In fact, l think
they are cut for natural partners"

sure that every true friend of Senator Bur-
rows Is favorable to the denomination and
reelection of Governor Pingree. We are

Peter Wendell, Jr., of the firm of
Wendell Bros, expressmen, met with
what may prove to be a fatal accident
while moving heavy safe up a stair
way on Main street yesterday morn
ing.
The express firm took contract for
placing heavy iron safe in the Office
OF the Wheeling Tent and Awning
Company, at 1909 Main street, up
stairs. 1t was found necessary to take
the safe up the stairway at the side
of the building, and Harry He'll, Will
He'll and two others were assisting
Mr.. Wendell in the work.
The heavy rope, strong enough in
Mr.. Wendel's opinion to sustain the
weight of the safe, was fastened
around it and attached at the head of
the stairway to bar crossed back of
window. Mr.. Wendell was between
the safe and the street, working with
crowbar, and the others pulled on
the rope. The accident happened about
$50 O'Clock.
The men had succeeded in getting
the safe to the second step from the
head of the landing when there was
break at the fastening at the win
dow, and the safe started to slide
down.
Mr.. Wendell attempted to jump out
reached the bottom of the stairway
when the safe caught him and crushed
him against the door. 1t fell across
his chest and also struck his head.
Mr.. Wendel's fellow workmen picked
him up and carried him into the Wells
Fargo express Office, on the ground
floor of the building. He was uncon-
scious and blood was running from
his mouth and ears
DR.. Frank ]. Hupp was called, and
responded promptly. Under his direc-
ton the injured man was removed to
the City Hospital, where an examina-
ton of his injuries was made. 1t was
found that he suffered from hemor-
rhages at the base of the brain, his
nose was fractured, his hip and chest
were crushed, and he was internally
injured Late last night Mr.. Wendell
was resting as easily as could be ex-
pected and was conscious at times.
The physician is of opinion that he
may recover although his condition is
extremely critical.
Wendell is a married man and lives
on South Main street. He is well
known and esteemed throughout the
city, and especially in the jobbing dis
trict.
