Mr.. Ferris denies having voted Che
ticket but once. ~
n Work Will Win!

the nomination for sheriff of Shiawasse,
county announced to his friends that IL
work will win that nomination am go
ing to have it," 1t was Charles Mimic
of Durand, who thus declared his plat
form, and the way in which he success
fully carried it out was apparent wher
the balloting for sheriff at the republi
can county convention at Corunna end
ed week ago last Tuesday. Today Mr.
Mimic has another platform. 1t is easy
to remember if the first one is kept in
mind. The only change consists in
substituting the word election for nomi
nation and Mr.. Mimic is as energetically
at work to prove this platform true as
he was to carry out the first. II work
will win the election as sheriff of Shia.
wassee county, Charles w. Mimic, of
Durand, will be sheriff of Shiawassee
county for the next two years.
Mr.. Mimic has already proved himself
good campaigner. A hustling young
business man first last and all of the
time, he put the same hustle and energy
into his campaign for the nomination
which had already at the age OF but
thirty-two made him rank as one of the
substantial business men of the county.
No one who met him on that canvass
however was given an impression of
youthfulness except as the energy of
youth was apparent in all his bearing.
The qualities which direct and control
such energy and give the assurance Of
good Judgment as well as the steadfast
carrying out of the policies and enter
prises undertaken were also in full evil
dence to all who met him. These were
some of the traits which the campaign
for the nomination disclosed. THE
TIMES predicts that the campaign pre-
ceding the election will be a repetition
of the same disclosures on a scale even
more energetic, broad, and resourceful.
One of the results of the above has
already become plain. Both republi-
cans and democrats are realizing it more
and more in proportion as they are keep
ing well informed on the situation, and
that is that the republicans of Shia-
wassee county have no more reason for
over the matter of the election
Of sheriff this year than they have over
the election of any or all of the county
ticket. The county is republican by
large majority. The republicans have
a candidate for sheriff who is going to
get his full share of that majority.
More than that he is the kind of candi-
late who is going to see that the repub-
ican majority for the entire republican
ticket is larger because he Is on it. And
his is not idle boasting either Enthu-
siastic energy begets enthusiasm.
Everyone likes to be ON the winning
'ide, and especially so when the side
which is winning is their side. O A candi-
late who puts up half hearted cam
Daign, be he or his record ever so good
will from the very start receive but half
hearted support, while the detection
rom his supporters will continue to in
'rease throughout the campaign espec-
ally if the opposing candidate is man
# stamina with the ability to make peo-
lie realize that he is glad to number
hem among his friends.
Pny1y,11inonc &c ha nN,,nfxv
light to feel satisfied and greatly pleas
d at the outlook. And why not? Can
ny republican explain why the party
hould not fill this, the most important
flee in the county from among their
wn numbers? Is there any reason
Why they should make the work of
very compaign harder for themselves
nd the candidates they nominate by
citing the sheriff's Office go by default
nto the enemy's camp? Is there any
eason why they should vote to aid the
emocratic party in building up an or
within the county which
yill enable them the more effec-
lively to fight them at every turn, not
My in local politics but in the broader
eld of national politics as we'll? In
act is there any reason whatever for
urning the best paying and in every
yay most important office in the county |
yer to those who will use it against the |
est interests of every republican in the |
ounty? THE TIMES cannot see any
eason in such action and is glad indeed |
D be able to say that indications from |
parts of the county all |
ONT to the conclusion that the repub-
cans are going to make an example of |
he matter this year, no matter who is |
ominated by the democrats, which will |
o long way toward convincing re-
ublicans that they are never again 60
lg to let this Office slip away from
hem as long as there are good and safe
len in the republican party. This is
ne year to make a record on the repub-
can vote for sheriff.
