The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-10-31
REVIEW OF TIE TICKET.
Men For Whom the Solid Republican
Vote Of the County Should Be
Cast Next Tuesday.


His boyhood days were spent on farm
near Byron, in which village he at
tended school, walking to and from the
farm. He has been a resident of Owos
so for some twenty years. He has the
good will of all who are acquainted
with him and is one of the pleasantest
men to meet. His fund of jolly stories
is as large as his ability to manage the
affairs of the sheriff's Office well and
economically is undisputed. The demo.
Gratis are making desperate attempt
to defeat him by throwing nearly their
whole strength to his opponent.
John Y. Martin, candidate for county
clerk, is just finishing his first term in
that Office. He was supervisor from
Caledonia for number of years and
held nearly every Office in the township
before holding that Office. His home
has always been on farm though he
has had experience in clerking and in
teaching school. He is thoroughly
competent and one of the most oblig.
ing and pleasant gentlemen with whom
to do business. There is no question
regarding his reelection. Nothing but
an epidemic of stay home eitiveness
ON the part of the republican voters OF
the county could accomplish his defeat.
Jay d. Royce is running again fol
the Office of register of deeds. He is
running as hard as he can too, not fol
the sake of satisfying himself in regard
to his own election but just to give the
whole ticket such running start that
if there are any/who might be outrun
his own momentum will help carry
them through. Mr.. Royce is Byron
product and good one. The rest. OF
the county seems to feel that it is more
than willing to keep him in the regis.
ter's office as long as Byron wishes him
kept there. He frequently goes home
to Byron too and the people seem glad
to see him come back to his old haunts
again. Every time county conven-
tion comes round, however they i'm
mediately get a delegation to send uI
to the court house in Corunna to ask
the republicans of the county to keer
him at Corunna for two years more
There are a lot Of the republicans
around the county who like to see him
when they go to Corunna and they uni
formly grant the Byron fellows request
He is sure of reelection this time as he
deserves to be, for the affairs of the
registers Office We're never in better
shape. 1t is suspected, in his case, thai
even if every republican should stay a
home next Tuesday he would be elected
| anyway if the democrats could onl,
know about it beforehand because the,
like him so we'll too.
Albert III. Northway, of Owosso, i
the candidate for treasurer. One o
Clark Smiths wild west horses tangled
up his tie line with one of AIS peda
extremities two years ago and Al hasn'
run without the aid of crutches sine
that time but there are lots of demo
Gratis as well as republicans who thin
that that would only make him all tn
safer for county treasurer. He couldn'
run. away with the county funds $
easily 1t is the first time that Nj
| Mouth xua " no . ,.,,,, e.. o6eoa l,ox.,ox.o,
and his friends are anxious to see hin
make good record. He was born on
farm, lived in Venice township a fey
years and in Corunna a good man
years. The result is that there are
number of different parts Of the count
which claim him and propose to hav
a hand in swelling his majority. Hi
business Experience has been alon
lines which are a guarantee of hi
ability to attend to the duties of tn
Office moreover and, taking all thing
together, he seems to show qualitie
which make him a safe runner to wage
on.
The candidate for prosecuting attol
ney has been awfulIy-just awfully-
jumped on during the last few day:
He doesn't look very big-hasn't bee
feeling very well lately-which make
some of his friends both on the ticke
and off mighty mad when they stop t
think how a big, able bodied man fror
out west tried to wallop him but tn
candidates have hitched themselves t.
gether by rope like a party climbin
the Alps and with big George Haske
and major" Bill Bigelow up at til
head of the line they think that prol
ably "Aut" Richards will be able I
run pretty well after all. Then the
think that after election is over and j
gets rested from the'campaign he won
look so sick and so little I'd the ma
who has been jumping on him so hare
Anyway his friends say that there hi
never been a prosecuting attorney
Shiawassee county who was any MOI
conscientious or who tried harder
do his very best for the county durin
the term he served it as its prosecute
