Vote the straight republican ticket this
fall. There is not man on the entire
ticket who Is not deserving of the vote of
every republican. 1t Is conceivable that a
party may sometimes need to be lashed by
its own members by having some one or
more Of its candidates defeated, but there is
nothing more demoralizng to effective party
work than to have ticket which Is made
up uniformly Of good men, only partly
elected because some of the party have been
wheedled into voting for one or more candi-
dates on the opposing ticket through
personal friendship or other pleas equally
as valueless.

Conveniently Located and Expects to Do
Business With the People in Person.
1t seems that the democratic candidate
for prosecuting attorney is beginning to
realize that the fact of his having said that
he would retain his Office In Durand in case
Of bis election. is working against him In
the campaign, for he has now announced
that he would appoint an Owosso attorney
as his assistant so that people could do
business with the assistant instead of being
compelled to 60 to Durand to consult the
prosecuting attorney himself. The people
of the county are asked to elect one man as
their prosecuting attorney and do their
business with another man In whose selec-
tion they have no voice and whose counsel
would after all not be final and official.
Really the inducements for voting for the
democratic candidate for this Office seems to
be lessening rather than increasing 1t Is
hardly necessary to remind the voters that
the republican candidate for the Office of
prosecuting attorney lives now at the
county seat and that he will devote his own
personal attention to the work of the Office
from the moment when he takes possession
Of the Office on the first of January next.
Mr.. Austin Z. Richards will be found by
any who may have any business to transact
with the prosecuting attorney, where the
prosecuting attorney should be found,
either at the county seat or located convent
emily near it, There should be no neces-
sity for doing business with an assistant
even IL the law gives the prosecuting attor-
ney the power to appoint such an officer to
give advice In his stead. There are other
reasons why the taxpayers of this county
cannot afford to do otherwise than elect
Mr.. Richards to this Office. All who knew
him-and there are few comparatively OF
the taxpayers and in particular of the farm
ers of Shiawassee county who do not know
him by reputation at least-know that he
has had the sort of experience in his life tC
make him the most careful and most eco
nomical in the use Of the taxpayers money
of any man who could be elected to thai
Office. Mr. Richards location Is all right
His training and character are all right, and
the returns will show that his reputation
with the voters of this county is also al
right. He will be elected and that too by 9
large majority.

The Owosso Candidate for Circuit Court
Commissioner


The Owosso Candidate for Circuit Court
Commissioner.
John b. Stockdale, candidate for cir
cult court commissioner, has been
resident of this city since 1899 when he
came to Owosso in July. The previous
years of his life had been spent FOR the
most part in Wayland, Allegan county,
and in Allegan the county seat of the
same county. He was born in the for.
mer place on March %, 1866, gradual
ing from the schools of that village in
due time and then beginning the work
OF teaching school, teaching for two
years when his father was elected Judge
of probate and from that time for sew
eral years he was employed as probate
clerk and probate register, in the mean
time studying law. On January 1st he
entered the Northern Indiana Law
School getting sufficient credit for work
he had done so that he graduated from
that institution the following June. In
September of the same year, 1897, he
was admitted to the bar in this state
after passing an examination before the
Supreme court. Wishing to still further
prepare himself for the work of the
legal profession he entered the Univer-
sity of Michigan the same fall and by
by taking examinations secured enough
credit to enable him to graduate in
June, 1898. Since coming to this city
he has steadily increased his practice
and has made many friends. He has
always been a republican in politics.
He will be elected Tuesday and will
make creditable circuit court commits

any party might place In nomination so bad

more than merely excused for scratching
his name from their ticket, but this is most
assuredly not the case with the republican

Everything Propitious for Jay D. Royce.
Jay d. Royce is one of the men who are
sure to receive the full party vote. As THE
TIMES has said before, Shiawassee county
has been more than fortunate In the past in
the character of the men who have been In
charge of the register of deeds Office.
Every register for years past has been the
most efficient kind of public official and
the services of each have been retained for
several terms. The county has not been
eager to do any experimenting In this Office
by making frequent changes, and as a re-
suit each year the denominations made by
the republican party have been confirmed
by reflections at the polls by the voters Of
the county. The result cannot be different
this time. The present register is as eff
cient as have been his efficient predecessors.
He has already proved himself most
worthy successor to them. The records of
the Office have never been In better shape,
and In addition to the rest of the routine
work which the last two years would have

A Farmer Candidate and Most Capabl
and Efficient One.


Remember that In John Y. Martin, re-
publican candidate for county clerk, you
are asked to vote for one of the most enter
prising and up-tO-date of the young farmers
of Shiawassee county. Mr.. Martin has, as
has been mentioned before In this paper,
prepared himself for the duties of the posi-
tion which he expects to fill for the people
of Shiawassee county. He Is not man
who feels himself above farming. he pre-
pared himself for teaching and taught for
one year in this county successfully. A He
spent year In obtaining stock sOf busi-
ness experience by working forone year In q
general store. he was q success wherever
he was placed. His painstaking and thor
ough work could not help making him at
tract attention, but he was not of the kind
to be allured away from that most inde-
pendent of all vocations, farming, by any
of the fancied attractions of a commercial
life. He loyed farming and he returned to
the farm to make his success there. He
has made success of his farm work since
that time and has also made q success In
the filling Of several township Offices to
which his associates have persisted in elect
ing him. He is still farmer and thor
oughly good one, but his fellow farmers OF
Caledonia and those who have represented
other townships on the board Of supervis-
ors, have not been slow to find out that he
can make good official as well, and they
ask for him the votes of his party and the
votes of his many other friends as we'll fol
the Office of county clerk. The farmers oi
the county could not have found an ablel
or more worthy man to represent
them on the county ticket than John Y
| Martin and he Is going to be elected, too.

every means to defeat it. And
I may say it's power is felt to-

Further on Mr.. Morgan sig

friends, and his friends are in
the hands Of the combine of the
transcontinental railways that
have decreed there shall be no

If these statements be true,
and Senator Morgan is in a po-
sition to know, the legisla ture
of the national government is
being run in the interests Of cor
porations and not for the bene-
fit and development of the coun-
try. Senator Morgan's language
conveys the impression that the
senatorial friends of Mr.. McKin-
ley, headed by Marx Hanna. are
willing to sacrifice fhe interests
of the entire country for the
sake of obtaining a heavy con-
tribution to corrupting fund

who lett for the east today, said
in an interview just before his

Mr.. Leighton added:
''The Salt Lake road is to be

has surveyors in the field look
ing over the territory along the
proposed new road, and so also
have several others. But Mr..
Huntington knows that his story
of a combination road between
