James H. Laverack has moreover al
ready held two city Offices which will
help him now in no small degree in the
Office of treasurer. He served the first
ward as supervisor and later served the
entire city as assessor, performing the
duties of both Offices in way entirely
to his credit and that Of the taxpayers
he represented. The various city funds
would be in good hands with Mr.
Laverock as treasurer. ~'. - 49,
The candidate for school inspector is 9
man who has the entire confidence o.
his associates, Lloyd Webb. He is in
timately connected with the labor or
CARNATIONS of the city being one of the
best of the many good men among the
leaders in those organizations.
The candidates for aldermen go long
way by themselves to make strong city
ticket In the first ward A. l.. Nichols
is a candidate who has already proved
his worth by good service in the council
as representative from the second ward.
He has been in business for himself, only
being enticed away from that work to
enter the banking house of M. l.. Stew
art d Co. to take responsible position.
The second ward is well provided for in
the nominations of Messrs. Geo. w. Det-
wiler and Samuel Lamfrom, Both gen
tlemen have proved their value in the
council Mr.. Detwiler is just complet-
ing his first term and Mr.. Lamfrom,
who was brought out by friends and adj
mirers of the record he made while for
merly member of the council, having
served several terms, though not recently
Mr.. Detwiler is one of the best business
men in the city and one of the most
public spirited. He is one of the safe
kind of men to have in the council. The
same may be said of Mr.. Lamfrom. He
is man who will watch out in the in
terests of economy from the moment he
takes his Office In the third ward Aid
ernan Ketcham is again candidate for
the office Mr.. Ketcham is business man
whose interests are strongly centered in
Owosso and in his own ward. He is
level headed, and like the nominees
from the first and second wards is inter
ested in proper exercise of economy.
Mr.. Ketcham is the proprietor of the Co
runna Az. grocery and has the respect
and confidence of the entire ward. In
the fourth ward c. E. Rigley Jr receiv-
ed the nomination for alderman without
a contest. He is making spirited con-
test for the office and will be elected if
fourth ward voters have their best in
terests IN mind when they go to the
polls Monday. There is probably not a
man in the fourth ward who is better
posted on city matters that Ed Rigley,
although he has never held any city
Office. He is thoroughly interested in
seeing that the city has a sensible, bust
ness-like administration of affairs and
would devote both time and energy to
doing his full share to give the city such
an administration. He has the con-
fidence and friendship alike of the voters
of the ward He is the kind of man who
is needed by the city in the council
chamber. j. Robert Campbell is the
fifth ward candidate for the council.
Mr.. Campbell is well known through
out the city, especially throughout the
west side where he has lived for years.
He has always taken thorough inter
est in city affairs and is man who will
be interested with fellow taxpayers in
keeping the expenses of the city down
to proper level. He has long been re-
garded as one of the most reliable, hard
working masons in the city, and one of
the most level headed members of their
union. His associates feel sure that he
will carry the same safe conservatism
into his work in the council.
The nominees for supervisor are al
most without exception unusually strong
men. In the first ward w. H. Bigelow
is nominated to succeed himself. No
one needs to be told that Mr.. Bigelow
is thoroughly competent and that the
ward or the city could not be better rep
than by his reelection. The
city and the county are fortunate in
having man of his stamp consent to
serve them in that position. In the
second ward Mr.. A. B. Crane is also a
candidate to succeed himself. Mr.
Crane has had many years experience
on the board and the county affairs are
well looked after by him. His re-elec-
ton will mean the continued benefit of
his long experience. Mr.. w. A. Kent
of the third ward is another man who
is nominated to succeed himself. Mr.
Kent has served the county and city and
his ward with the best of his ability DUR
ing several terms, is well acquainted
with the work of the Office and will
doubtless be reelected by an increased
majority. The fourth ward candidate
is Vernon M. White. Mr.. White has al
ready held the Office of supervisor for
his ward and received the nomination
at the hands of a majority of the repub-
lican voters of the ward although there
