tion he seeks. 1t will be equally fair
for all and all will enjoy the same ad-
vantages of having the matter settled
and off his mind. The successful can
didate will then have their time to be-
gin preparations for the campaign and
should themselves be able to make a
much more effective campaign withall
nomination contests outzof the way.
That in itself is an advantage which
will affect the entire party, from its
effect on the separate candidates, but
there is still another affecting the party
quite as much and that is in relation to
the men who are not nominated-and
there are more candidates who will not
be nominated than there are. who viii
be. 1t is not expected that any OF them
are going to sulk. The list is not made
up of sulkers. But in spite of that an
early convention will be found 20 give
time for the inevitable disappointment
to wear away and there is no doubt
that party harmony will be largely pro-
NOTED by giving longer time for all
disappointments to be forgotten.
There seems to be no reason whatever
why the republicans should not elect
their entire ticket this fall, All indica-
tions are that while there will, be con-
tests in plenty for nominations, yet all
will be made without any hsrd feelings.
Therefore since there seems to be no ad-
vantage which any candidate can derive
from an extended nominating campaign,
and there is much that can be saved to
the successful candidates, the unsuccess-
full ones, and the party at large from an
early convention, THE TINES hopes that
the best interests of all may be consider
ed and that the call for this convention
may soon be issued and the date made
an early one. r #

The County Nominating Convention.

The County Nominating Convention.
1t has been suggested within the last
few days that the republican conven-
ton for the nomination of ty
officers be held sometime toward the lat
ter part of June. From various points
of view the suggestion seems a very
good one.
There are, according to the best indi-
cations, several of the offices about
which merry contest will center.
Now the longer this contest continues,
and the more of the sinews of war the
various candidates have to put into the
fight before the nominations are made,
the less they will be in fighting trim for
the campaign itself. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that for the best interests of
the party the latter place is where the
greater amount of a candidates time
and energy should be spent. The can
didates are already in the field There
is no chance to save anything by post
ponipg their entrance. The only way
in which this energy can be saved is by
setting the time as soon as possible for
an early county nominating convention.
This will not, so far as THE TIMES can
discover, change the relative chances of
any candidate for securing the nomina-

OWOSSO, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1904.

In the appointment of two members
of the board of public works, the city at
torney, the health officer and board of
health appointments which have been
confirmed by the council, Mayor Parkill
certainly deserves credit for choosing
men who, in his opinion and that of his
fellow citizens, were chosen from the
best available men for the positions
The mayor evidently has much great
er preference for having the best man
in the right place than for any system
of partisan appointments.
