of this time has held in constantly in
creasing degree the respect of his fellow
citizens. He has served the city as, city
attorney and has been prominently con-
nected with various movements for the
growth and improvement Of the city in
different directions. In all ways he has
measured up to the standard which
public spirited citizen should set. The
republicans of Owosso feel that they are
doing not only an honor to themselves
but to the city, the county and the en-
tire 35th judicial circuit in doing their
l utmost to further the candidacy of Mr..
o Miner for the judgeship.

e the 35th judicial circuit. His entire
life with brief space of time spent in

s been spent in these two counties over
Q which he is soon to preside in judicial
u capacity. In 1871 his parents moved to
IT Corunna and Mr.. Miners education,

county schools was carried on in the
3 Corunna city school from which he
r, graduated with the class Of 1915. After
II this he taught school for three terms

II ing on the study Of law. In the fall o.
1876 he entered the law department o.
TX the University of Michigan, graduating
D. two years later, passing his examina
X ton before the supreme court and be
lie ing admitted to the bar the same year
e. During the time of his residence in AMI
r. Arbor he studied and was employed il
sd the law Office of Judge Kinnie beside
~ attending to lis university duties.
Id On being admitted to the bar MI
IL Miner returned to and opened an otfic
n. in Corunna and was elected to the otfic
to of circuit court commissioner the sam

ler- republicans of both counties, the coun
OF of his adoption and the county whe
he was born, should make it a matter
ing pride to see that good vote is out a
