The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1900-02-02
The Attorney 0eneralship.

In spite of the most positive assur-
ances. received by Mr.. +. II. Watson,
that Attorney General Horace M. Oren
would not be candidate for renomina.
ton at the hands of the republican state
convention, the announcement is made
this week by Mr.. Oren that he will let
the convention decide whether or not
he shall run again. In other words Mr..
Oren has apparently reconsidered the
matter and is again in the field. AS
Mr.. Watson explicitly told both Mr..
Oren and the friends of the latter that
he did not wish to appear an instant-as
a candidate if Mr.. Oren desired to be a
candidate again, and received, as noted
before, positive assurances that Mr..
Oren would not be, Mr.. Watson does
not now intend to retire quietly from
the field into which he has made a
fair and suspicious entrance
Hon. Frank II Watson, of Owosso, is
again a candidate for the nomination of
attorney general. He was a candidate
before the last convention and only the
location of Atty. Oren, in the Upper
Peninsula, defeated him. The condi-
tions are now changed and Mr. Watson
will stand an excellent chance of receiv-
ing the nomination.-Caro Advertiser.

The Owosso TINES is asking support
for Hon. Frank II. Watson, of Owosso,
candidate for the nomination of attor-
ney general at the hands of the repub-
lican state convention. Mr.. Watson
was strong second in the last state
convention when the offic ewas captured
by Hon. Horace M. Oren, of Sault Ste
Marie. In the event of Mr. Oren not
desiring the honor of denomination
there would be no mistake made in
giving the place to Hon. Frank Ii.
Watson-Coleman Independent.
Nv
Frank III. Watson, of Owosso, is out
for the nomination of attorney gen eral,
at the hands of the republicans, and is
going to make strong candidate. Mr..
Watson came near capturing the nom-
ination two years ago, and comes into
the race again, as Attorney General
Oren is not candidate for reelection.
1t looks as if Mr.. Watson would get the
nomination easily, and if he does, his
ability as lawyer will make him a
strong addition to the ticket.-Fenton
Independent.
Nv
The candidacy of Hon. Chase S.
Osborn for governor and the conse-
quent withdrawal of Hon. Horace M.
Oren, also of Sault Ste. Marie, from the
field for denomination as attorney gen.
eral. will throw the latter nomination
open again this year to new candidates.
Hon. Frank HI. Watson, of Owosso, who
nearly secured the nomination cap
tured by Mr.. Oren two years ago. is
again candidate for this nomination,
and in view of the strong showing he
made before his friends believe that
this year he will stand the best of
chances for landing the prize.-Benton

Two years ago Hon. Chase S. Osborn
was faithful supporter of the candi-
dancy of Hon. Horace M. Oren for the
office of attorney general, and it was
largely due to his untiring efforts that
Mr.. Oren was nominated Now Mr.
Osborn wants the nomination for gov
ernor. Both men are from the north
ern peninsula and both connot be nomi-
mated, so Mr.. Oren has consented to
waive his claim for second term and
give his friend clear field. In view of
this fact Hon. Frank III. Watson, of
Owosso, who nearly captured the nomi-
nation two years ago has again been
announced as candidate for attorney
general. Mr.. Watson is an able attor-
ney and faithful republican, and if
Mr.. Oren's withdrawal is final his nom.
ination would be received with favor
throughout this section of the state.
