For Justice of the Peace.

Republicans have reason to feel proud
strikes their eye, but their nominee fol
justice of the peace, Neil r. Walsh, OF
the law firm of Walsh 81 Pardee, is one
of those which cause, if anything, even
more than the average amount of salts.
faction. Clean, energetic and business
like, with no favorites and an intoler.
ance only for favoritism, he is an ideal
candidate for the Office to which he has
been nominated.
Neil Walsh is one of the men who
have made themselves what they are.
His early life was spent like that of
many other men who have forged to the
front later in life-on the farm. Not
only was it on farm, but it was new
farm, with all the additional hard work
and deprivations which that means.
His parents moved to this place, which
was just over the county line in Maple
Grove township, in Saginaw county,
when Neil was a child, and his boyhood
and early manhood was spent there
helping clear up the farm. Besides
this work, he improved his opportuni-
ties so well when he had the opportunity
to attend school that he prepared for
teaching and taught school for several
years He then attended the law de-
partment of the university and gradu-
ated in 1892.
Mr.. Walsh went to Manistique after
graduating and formed law partner
ship with Mr.. Pardee, with whom he
has been associated since that time.
Besides their Office in Manistique the
firm opened an office in the little new
town of Munising when it was started,
and there Mr.. Walsh held the Office of
village attorney for three years. At
the time when the firm moved to this
city he was prosecuting attorney of
Alger county and he remained behind
to finish his term after his partner, Mr..
Pardee, came here to open the office
In both the public positions which he
has held, Mr.. Walsh showed himself
not only capable, but he also made a
record for sterling integrity and love
for fair play which has followed him to
this city which for considerable time
he had intended to make his home. He
has himself been resident of the city
since January, 1901. His parents also
live on farm just east of this city.
Mr.. Walsh has made clean cut cam
paign up to the present time, not only
for the nomination, but also for election
day itself, and has already made a splen-
did impression throughout the city.
The TIMES predicts that Mr.. Walsh
will discharge the duties of justice to
the satisfaction of every voter in the
city. He is sure of election.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-04-04
The Treasurership.

The city has got in the habit Of elect
ing republican city treasurers regularly
and the present popular candidate from
the fifth ward is as sure of going into
the Office with colors flying as the day
i of election is sure to come round. Some
of his more enthusiastic admirers in
West Owosso, in fact, insist that every
voter in the fifth ward, and nearly
every voter in the fourth is going to
vote for John T. Walsh for city treasur-
er.
Mr.. Walsh is undoubtedly popular
candidate. He has served the city on
the board of aldermen for several
years and has always served to the
entire satisfaction of his constituents
in the ward and to the equal satisfac-
ton of the city in general, He has
been resident of the city so long that
no one thinks of asking how long he has
been here, and before coming to this
city to make his home he was resi-
dent of Bennington and had intimate re-
lations with Owosso citizens both while
on his farm in Bennington township,
and while carrying on general store
at Benninton station. Since coming to
Owosso his business interests have been
closely allied with the west side, but he
has been equally well liked in every
part of the city. He is one of the solid
business men of the city, one who
knows the hard work which money
costs and one who knows the ease with
which money can escape if not carefully
watched. He would make careful
treasurer in every respect and there is
not an acquaintance of his in the entire
city, no matter what his political pref
erence, who would hesitate to entrust
John T. Walsh with any amount of his
own money. A more deservedly popu-
lar man could not have been selected by
the republican convention for the Office
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-04-04

If the entire republican city ticket
We're TO he mentioned, as it of course
should be in this issue, mention would
have TO be made of the candidate fol
city clerk. Inasmuch however as all OF
the city conventions either said good
things for the republican candidate OIL
implied them, by not naming any op
ponent to Fred Edwards, we will simply
say that at this time we have nothing
to retract from the good things which
we have said before concerning the
popular city clerk. He is all right and
everybody says So There is no candi-
date on any of the other tickets for the
Office to which the republicans nominal
ed him and therefore Il unanimous cleo
ton is the fate in store for him. How
ever its largely his own fault He de-
serves to be reelected unanimously.

a Little Family Pride.
The young parson who introduced his
blushing bride, person of higher de-
gree of intelligence than his own it is
perhaps easy to believe, as "a poor
thing, but mine own is said to have
met with sudden disfavor which cost
him his parish. The republican who
stops to apologize for any man on the
republican city ticket this spring should
meet with similar striking mark of
disapproval. The chances are that there
is not man ON the ticket from mayor
to constable in the last ward who is not
better candidate for the Office to which
he was nominated than such an apollo
gizer would make--that is, of course
unless he is afterwards ready to admit
in thinking the matter over, that he
spoke unadvisedly There is every rea-
son, on the other hand, to be better
pleased with the republican ticket this
year than ever before. 1t is the only
complete ticket in the field and it is i'm
possible to put ones finger opposite a
single Office and say honestly, that a
man on one of the three other tickets is
more competent, cleaner, or in any
way more desirable than the nominee
on the republican ticket. Then don't
be afraid of letting little party pride,
family pride if you will, show itself
this spring vote the ticket straight.
True, there is frequently tendency to
cut party lines in purely local election,
but why cut them unless for the avowed
purpose of rebuking the delegates which
the party has sent to make its nomina
tions for making unfit nominations.
No one can honestly say that unfit nom
nations were made in any instance by
the republicans this spring. The re-
publican party was the only one which
had party spirit enough to fill every
place on its ticket and it now should
have party pride enough to see that
every man nominated is elected. There
is no occasion at this time for letting
any scare of any kind start stampede
for any other candidate. If the re-
publicans of the city will do their duty
Monday, city administration of which
they may well be proud will be ensured
for the coming year. Have little fam
lily pride, Monday. Vote the only COM
plete ticket just as complete as it is
printed.

The Ward Tickets,

In the first ward Thomas NJ. Wiley
needs no lengthy introduction. He is a
man who is liked by all acquaintance
from the moment they come to know
| him to the end of their faintest memory
of him. Always genial, kindly, courte-
Gus, and always to be depended upon,
are only a few of the characteristics
which have made the name tom
Wiley, mean much to the voters of the
| city and of his ward. He has served the
| city before as alderman and also as
| treasurer for two terms For many
years he occupied responsible position
in the old Woodland planning mill
and is at present managing the Sturte-
want lumber business on south Wash
full, painstaking business man who will
make a good officer wherever he is
placed. He will be elected to the coun-
Gil.
Fred. H. Gould is another specimen of
the high character of the men nominated
by the republicans of the city for the
election which comes Monday. Mr..
Gould is one of the hardest working
citizens of Owosso, putting in the hard
est kind of hard days work on his farm
east of the city day after day and attend
ing to his other duties in the city as
well but he always finds time to do his
duty as citizen in whatever capacity
the voters of the city or his ward call
him into. He has served as alder
man and as supervisor for two terms
and the voters of the first ward should
feel it an honor to vote for him for SUI
pervisor again this spring. He is one of
the men to whom public office means a
sacrifice because they cannot do the
work required without doing it we'll
and for that very reason the voters can
not afford to do without his services as
long as he will consent to give them.
*x*
The nominee for alderman in the Sec
Ond ward is man who is both intense
ly public spirited and at the same time
one of the most conservative and care
full business men in the city. He is a
man who is not afraid of making ven
ture which gives promise of being for
the best interests of the entire city-but
only after he has satisfied himself that
the promise is likely to be carried out
and the city benefited. His interests
are all closely connected with the best
interests of the city. He is heavy
taxpayer and yet one who stands ready,
as just mentioned, to bear his share in
in any real meritoridus plan for the adj
vancement of the city. He has the con-
fidence of all classes and should get the
full party vote in his ward which will
alone insure his election. He is man
for whom his ward need not make any
apologies in the council.
In the second ward the republicans
have again placed Alfred B. Crane on
the ticket for supervisor. The republic

cans of this ward have not always hung
together when they reached the part of
their ballot where the candidates for
supervisor were placed and the record
of the ward has even of late years
vibrated back and forth between re-
publican and democrat but there seems
TO be no reason for the defeat of Mr..
Crane and he deserves the vote of every
republican in the ward next Monday.
He has taken defeat before with the
same good will for all as he has his
election. He is man of experience on
the board, one who knows the ropes and
can point out the leaks. He is prom
inent member of the Grand Army and
is man who is always ready to do the
bidding of his party and the public.
His record for saving the county sums
of money of considerable amount has
been told before. He has made care
full supervisor and would make care
full supervisor again. He should be
elected and will be if the republican
voters of the ward remember and weigh
well their duty on election day.

The nominee for supervisor in the
fourth ward is still young man but he
is one, as said before, who has already
shown himself thoroughly capable of at
tending to the duties which the Office
demands. Eugene May is capable of
filing the Office of supervisor to the
satisfaction of every citizen of the
ward and of the city. He has already
had experience in work which demands
quite as much painstaking care and
quite as high an order of ability as the
duties of supervisor. This has been
shown in his successful conduct of the
offices of record keeper and finance
keeper in Wilson Tent No. 169, of this
city, offices which he has held, the first
for two years and the second for one
year and the present unexpired year of
another term. He also performed the
work of census enumeration for his ward
to the entire satisfaction of the census
officials. He is a property owner in the
ward and would make good official.
One of the most energetic as well as
cleanest campaigns which the present
contest is showing is the one which is
being put up in the fourth ward for al
derman by G. E. Rigley Jr Mr.. Rigley
has not been cOntenting himself with
the fact that he is well known to the
majority of the voters of his ward per-
sonally, and to all by reputation at least,
but has been sparing no time or pains to
let every possible voter in the ward
know from personal meeting with him
just what position he takes in the con-
test now on and also to let him know
that he will appreciate the vote of every
republican and every other citizen who
believes in careful business-like admin
istration of city affairs. He is thorough
ly in earnest in the matter and indica-
tions are more than favorable for his
election. The ward is normally republi-
can and there is no reason why he
should not receive the full party vote.
Mr.. Rigley has had the best of training
in careful business methods and his
purpose if elected is to do all he can to
assist in giving the city the same sort of
a business-like administration Of its
affairs that any other corporation is en-
titled to.
w.
Col. j. II. Moyses, the present alder
man from the fifth ward, has shown
himself one of the most conservative
members of the present council but he
has made that record while at the same
time favoring all public improvements
which have been for the undoubted
good of the city. The way in which his
interests have been with the laboring
man are clearly enough shown by his
voting to increase the pay of the men
