THEY ARE WINNERS.
Every Man Spoken of Below Is
Clean. Honest. and Fit Per
son to Occupy the Position
to which he Is Nominated.
George w. Moore.


George w. Moore.
Of the candidates for office on the
Republican ticket in st. Clair county
three of them were born in the county
in which they are now honored nomi-
nees. Geo. w. Moore, the man named
on the ticket for senator is one of the
three. He made his advent into life
in st. Clair township, on April 18th,
1859, which indicates that he is in his
AZ year. Whatever gifts nature may
have placed in his head, she neglected
to have him born with the proverbial
silver spoon. Mr.. Moore knows what
it is to do hard work, having begun
work in numbering at the age of II. He
has been honored by his party and by
the people of this county in the gift
of official station. He is now a senator
from this district, having been elected
in 1898 by majority of 1889. He has
received this year the honor of being
the nominee to succeed himself. We
think his denomination by his party
will be ratified strongly at the polls on
November 9th.
Judge Frank Whipple.
When the lamented Judge Vance laid
down the official ermine in death last
April, Governor Pingree appointed
Frank Whipple to that honored seat
So worthily and ably did he fill the past
that his party has placed him in nomi-
nation for the unexpired term. lie is
62 years old, haying been born in Yer
mont in 1888. He served more than
three years in the war of the rebellion.
Since the war he has resided in Stellar
county. Coming to Port Huron when
the county seat was moved, he soon
after was admitted to the bar and has
had wide and successful legal prac-
tice. He is fearlessly independent in
character and combines with these
traits powerful and penetrating men,
tai makeup, which is balanced by the
soundest of Judgment. His appoint.
ment is one of Pingree's acts which the
people endorse, and we believe they
will write that endorsement at the
polls. His commendation from the
whole people is shown by the fact that
the opposing party placed no candi-
date against him. This means his elec-
ton is certain if he lives until the polls
close.
Nahum E. Thomas.
More than 58 years ago boy was
born III the small village of Perry, n.
Y. That boy asserted his right to live,
to grow, to become man among men.
Mr.. Thomas has so strongly backed his
claim to all these that his rating among
the people where he resides, and his
clients for whom he has done business,
need no proof of his manhood. He has
been a practicing attorney for more
than 80 years. He came to Port HUI
ron in 1870 entering into law part
1, In ~
nership continued with short interven-
ing intervals until 1881, when Stevens
was elected to the circuit judgeship.
At the Republican County Convention
last August he was nominated as the
party's candidate for the seat in the
circuit court now filled by Judge o.
Brien j. Atkinson. 1t only remains for
the electors of the county to ratify the
party's choice to secure a servant who
is in both character and legal lore well
prepared to dispense Justice to all alike.
Harvey Tappan.
In previous issues of this paper we
have spoken freely of our fellow towns
man, Harvey Tappan, the Republican
nominee for Probate Judge in this
county. There is no danger that any
one would doubt our hearty endorse
VI iUPpti ~ NO HOiO
at this juncture. lie is product of
st. Clair county, having had his birth,
bringing up and all of life's service up
to now, AZ years, within our borders.
His has been rugged experience, and
he knows the hard knocks of farm life
and work. When yet a boy he became
a teacher, teaching for wages that
would scarce pay the board bill of a
fashionable school master of the pres
ent day. But undaunted by difficulties,
struggling all the while for more edu
cation, he steadily rose, until he reach
ed the place of county school commits
sioner He is now an honored gradu-
ate of the law department of the u. M.
whose years of legal practice has fitted
him for wise counsel and efficient
service of his clients. The voters
of this county will make no mistake in
placing at Y before his name on their
tickets.
