HASKELL FOR SHERIFF.
Republicans Nominated Good County
Ticket Tuesday.

can county ticket this fall The nomin.
alton for sheriff was given him by ac-
clamation at the republican county con-
vention Tuesday. The rest of the
ticket is good from clerk and register
down to the two coroners. No feeling
was stirred up in the nominations of
any of the candidates and in fact every
nomination made with one exception
was made without the formality OF
counting the separate ballots of the
convention. They were unanimous.
The only nomination balloted on was
that of treasurer. There were two
candidates in the field to the end in this
case, Supervisor George w. Stanlake, of
Middlebury, and Albert H. Northway,
of this city. The count showed a
majority for Mr.. Northway.
The convention was called to order at
11:15 standard time in the casino at
McCurdy Park, Corunna, notice to the
effect of the change in the place of
meeting having been given out owing
to the fact that the court honse was in
use for the trial of case. The at
tendance was large, the most of the
delegations being present in full force
even though it was understood that
nothing more than the making of the
temporary organization and the appoint
ment of committees would take place
until after noon. In the afternoon, in
spite of the rain which began before the
convention was called to order and
lasted the rest Of the day, every delega-
tion was represented by its full quota.
The interest taken by every republican
from every part of the county did not
seem to be wanting or to be of the kind
which dampening could hurt.
The call for the convention was read
by Chairman Bigelow. He read short
communication from G. J. Diekema,
chairman of the State Central Commit
tee, and then read the following con-
gratulatory telegram from Congress
man Fordney:
Saginaw, w. S., Mich, Sept %, 'O2.

With the briefest possible remarks on
the work before the convention Mr..
Bigelow called Odell Chapman to the
chair.
Mr.. Chapman reminded his hearers
that no speech was needed more than a
mere reference to the condition of the
people today. Never before has there
been such prosperity. Never before did
the American people have so much
money. The republican party is the
peoples party. 1t was organized for
the people and now more than ever the
people are again taking control of the
party management We have presi-
dent who fears nothing. He is not
afraid of capital even when combined
into the gratest trusts nor is he afraid
to point out their good qualities Mr..
Chapman's speech was brief, pointed
and well received, and it seemed that he
had scarcely had time to begin speaking
before he had the convention at work

secretary and on motion of j. W. Jordan
