Republican Candidate for County
Clerk-Sketch of His Life-Had Pre-
pared for Duties of Teaching or of
Business, but Chose to Remain on
the FARM Offices Held.
The greatest product of the American
farm Is the American farmer. One Of the
most truly representative of that we'll in
formed and enterprising class of men is the
man who today is the candidate for the Office
of county clerk on the republican ticket.
The experience of John Y. Martin has been
the experience of many another boy who
was born and brought up on the farm. The
work of the farm, the evenings of reading,
the country school, and later the months
spent in the high schools Of the cities of his
home county, little experience in teaching
in those same district schools. and years
experience in general store-then back to
the farm again, ripper and brighter for his
experience and more than ever convinced of
the nobility of;the farmers calling-such is
the story in brief of the life of John Y Mar
tin.

correspondent, however, seemed to be
to put Representative Mason in bad
light before the farmers and other vot-
ers of this county. Mr.. Ira Snyder,
president of the club. and one of the
staunchest democrats in the county, did
not propose that the meeting held at his
house should be so wrongly reported
for campaign or any other purposes
and sent the following letter to the
editor of the Free Press which was fair
enough to make the correction asked
for. A similar and, in fact, almost
identical paper was signed by eight
other prominent members Of the club,
the Messrs. F. E. Sheldon,P. b. Reyn-
Odds, E. j. Cook. A. b. Cook, C. H. H.
Payne, S. R. Cook, Will S. Cook, and
G. H. King. 1t is somewhat evident
that such unfalrness as the attempt to
distort facts in such fashion is not
looked on with much favor by the rep
resentative farmers of this county. and,
in fact, it cannot help reacting against
the very person whom it is expected
to help,

STEPHEN A. CRANE.

Sketch of the Republican Candidate
for Sheriff Comes From Fighting
Stock-Is q Soldier Candidate, but
also Has Good Official Record Be-
hind Him.
II to make good sheriff a man should
come from fighting stock, then Stephen A.
Crane has no uncertain claim to one of the
qualifications for the Office. Not only
himself in the civil war from the beginning
to the end, butshis father was killed in the
service, while every male relative on his
fathers side of the family who was old
enough to bear armsiin that fearful struggle
was bearing arms for the preservation of
the union. His own period Of service ex-
tended from August 1861, to September,
1865, when his regiment was mustered out
8. A. Crane was born at Seneca Falls, N.
Y, on the 22d of July, 1s42, but was
brought to Michigan when but few months
old by his parents who settled in Cass
county near Dowagiac. When but thirteen
years of age he came to Shiawassee county
with his parents. who settled on fam in
Rush township. Here he remained work.
ing on his fathers farm until he enlisted in
the service six years later, or when he was
nineteen years Of age.
Space doessnot permit the going into the
full details of his army experience. The
story of his regiment is told in the volume
Michigan in the War and Mr. Crane was in
every engagement In which his regiment
participated. The regiment was for long
time Gen. Thomas'sb0dy guard and as such
did not have chance at the hardest fighting
In every instance and especial pains we're
taken to keep Its enlistment up. Mr.. Crane
enlisted as private but was twice pro-
NOTED so that for a considerable time before
the close Of the;twar he wore sergeant's
stripes and Scheyrons. In his capacity as
nOn-commissOned officer he served on two
details of importance which are of signif-
cant interest 10 view of the position in
which he now finds himself as candidate
for sheriff of Shiawassee county. The de-
tail was no other than the charge of the
military prison cat Atlanta, detail of
twenty meu being placed under him to
guard the prisoi and prisoners. A little
later he was placed with much larger de-
tail in charge Of what was known as the
left wing of the military prison at NASH
vile. The work which he did at time won
him the commentator Of the officers under
whom he was serving and he jokingly re-
marks that he had good many more pris
oners under his charge at that time than he
ever expects to be called on to take care of
II elected sheriff of Shiawassee county.

President of the Club.

In It's Saturday issue The Argus takes oc-
caSion to gloat over what 1t was pleased to
term the turning down of The TIMES slate
Of officers for the republican club. Anyone
who thinks that the officers reported by the
committee at that meeting constituted a
| INES slate is invited to read the statement
prepared by the nominating committee and
signed by every member of the same which is
reproduced In another column. Having
made its own superstition the basis for an at
tack on THE TIMES and its editor however,
the Argus did not see fit to correct its
statements when the committee called its at
tention to the injustice done 1t and refused TO
give space to the communication presented
by tie committee.

After returning from the war in 1865 Mr..
Crane took up his residence in the first
ward of the city of OwossO and entered up
on the business of farming and teaming,
farming a number of different pieces of
land nearlthe city and In the outskirts Of II,
and at times having number of men and
teams workingsfor him in the carrying on
of his teaming operations. About 1885 he
was appointed street commissioner and
served the city five different terms In that
capacity. He also served the city one term
as marshal and has been elected constable
almost without aIbreak for the last fifteen
years. Heihas. also served as under sheriff
for nearly ten years holding that Office as
we'll as the Office of constable for the first
ward atithe!present time.
During all.of his official service he has
made goodsrecord as competent, pains
taking, and obliging official and in electing
him to the: chief executive Office in the
county the people are not making any ex-
pertinent They, know that he will still
give them thessame kind of faithful service
