have nerve to be laughed at by about
sixty thousand people. But why say
more. We predict his reelection by an
overwhelming majority. The man who
downs Names must first have heavier
record; and those kind are scarce in
this patch of brush.
Eugene A. Bartlett.
Unless there is some mistake in the
record Eugene A. Bartlett, the candi-
date for County Clerk on the Republi-
can ticket, is now about 43 years of
age. He was born in Oakland county
in 1857. In early life he came with his
parents to Memphis, where he now re-
sides. BY trade he is harness maker
and is now proprietor of harness en-
porium in that place. His name was
placed upon the ticket without the
slightest opposition, thus showing he
was the unanimous choice of the con-
vention. We believe Mr.. Bartlett will
receive every vote cast by members
of his party in this county at the COM
ing election. He is abundantly quail
fed for the Office and will do clean and
efficient service for the people. His
record with the people is such that he
can leave the book of his business, both
private and public, open to every voter
in the county. We don't believe that
on any page or in any line of that rec
ord, there can be found single reason
why the voters of st. Clair county
shall not support him at the polls. We
have no words of disparagement 70
write concerning Mr.. Bartlett's COM
petitor, but the electors of his own
party can find no reason for disapprov-
tta hn nNNff fT9AfC oh. 70. II
date for county clerk.
Spain Z. Pearce.
For nearly two yoars past there has
been man in the Register of Deeds
office in this county, who seems to haye
in some way obtained corner on
friendship. Solid chunks of this COM
modify are to be found in that office
every day in the year. And it's no one
sided affair. The people feel just as
friendly to Spain f. Pearce, as he does
to them. In this sense it's one of ma
lures strong combines which no power
can destroy. The patrons of the office
! like it's head both as man and an
officer. The convention of Mr.. Pearce's
party well knew that q better fit for
the position could not be found
and they did not attempt it, His re-
nomination was by acclamation, and
his reelection will come in the same
manner, as far as his own party is con-
cerned. Mr.. Pearce first saw the light
at Bellona, n. Y, which important
event occurred in 1858. But for the
past 30 years he has been more or less
identified with Yale, and can be claim
ed as one of our own lads. Here he
went to school, here he grew up to
manhood, amid the scenes of youth and
| youthful sports. The tie of friendship
is strong at both ends, and double in
strength all along the center. When
the votes are counted out few weeks
hence, Spain will find that the Brock
way Centre boys are his friends as of
yore.
Eugene r. Law.
The Republican Convention made
choice of Eugene +. Law as their can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney in ST.
Clair County. His birth place was at
Kalamazoo; the time about AZ years
ago. Mr.. Law knows what it is to
struggle against adverse fortunes.
In early life he was compelled to work
hard upon the farm and obtain his ed
ucation in the winter months. At IL
he began teaching and engaged in that
occupation at intervals for number
of years. Four years he taught in
Yale. He prepared himself for service
as civil engineer. afterwards taking
up the study of law, and graduated
from the u NJ. law department in 1892.
He is also a graduate of the State Ag-
ricultural College at Lansing, having
received his diploma from that institu-
tion in 1888. Mr.. Law has struggled to
accomplish all these things by his own
unaided efforts, but he now has the sat
isfaction of having reached the goal of
attainments and position, which is never
granted except to the toiler.' He has
steadily risen in his profession, and is
today the honored candidate of his
party for high and very responsible
office in ST. CLAIR county. The Office
for which he is nominated requires in
tegrity of purpose and strict honesty
in executing the laws. But all these
elements must, to be efficient, be sur
mounted by executive ability and
mental power. We believe the Repub-
! lican candidate has all these elements,
and what is more, these qualities are
known to the voters in this county,
and a majority of them are going to
vote according to their knowledge.
Henry streeter.
When the Republican County Con-
vention met last August, they were
looking for man who could be safely
entrusted with the funds of this great
and rich countv of ST Clair This
