For sheriff Geo. w. schneider.

Among the candidates for sheriff on the
epubcan ticket there is none better quail
fled in every way than George W. Schnei
Ter of Lake Odessa.
The Lake ODESSA Wave said of him
when he decided to enter the campaign as
1 candidates:
1T affords US unusual pleasure this
week to announce the candidacy OF Geo
v. Schneider of Odessa township for
heriff of lonia county.
To some OF Mr.. Schneider's most init
nate friends he has conflded his ambitions
and the word has gone out quite generally
% lonia county politicians, but it has beer
eft to the Wave to make formal an
,ouncement Of his determination.
As has been the custom so long in lonle
clunty, change is due to take place il
he sherift's office this fall not because
airy defects in our present sheriff, Mr.
ales, hut simply because charge in thu.
,ltice IS required at least every four years.
there are already names of many can
oates upon the political horizon, glazing
more luminous as time advances, but none
mere are who so meet with our approva
that of our good friend and townsmar
,reaoy named.
ltwlll take d splendid man to fill the
lace to be made vacant when Sherf
Taes' time expires IL will take clean,
onest, upright, courageous. moral. tenn
Jerate and manly man TO fill that place as
has filled it, and in Geo. w. Schneide'
we can honestly testify as can all who
know hi that there is every worthy trait
,uoye mentioned He is man among
men; broad minded, conservative bus-
less m n, exercising those talents in all
re undertakes; doing the business for
others as he would do 1t for himself a fact
time and time again proven to the people
IF Odessa township while he has held the
iffce Of supervisor. an honor that is yet
his, and to which Odessa voters have Sc
ected him for five consecutive terms, and
that too, by overwhelming majorlties.
No better evidence of his level headed
ness and sound business sense can be
found than to go back through his five
years while serving his township as super
visor. 1t is a record that has endeared
him to his constituents and one that he
can well be proud Of He has accom-
plished things he has set out to do, his
Judgment has been sought among the
sound and safe ones of that strong body
of men of which he is a member.
Mr.. Schneider has been a successful
farmer, which fact alone with all its trying
circumstances to overcome, has been OF
great help in fitting him for the important
office Of sheriff, and which with his public
experience doubly fits him for the high
honors he now seeks. Many men fail in
office because of their lack Of ability to
think and to act for themselves, but in
Mr.. Schneider we have a man eminently
fitted for the position sought, as both his
public and private life will tell.
Mr. Schneider is the logical candidate
for sheriff of lonia county, and in securing
the nomination he will do so honestly and
souarely, there will be no falsifyng, no
bully-ragging, such as lonia republicans
most delight IN.
| Mr.. Schneider was born near Lake
| Odessa and has always lived here; he
early served his apprenticeship to the re-
publican party and has since been one OF
its staunchest supporters. IL work was
TO be done he has always been ready and
foremost to do it, thinking only to help the
party Of his choice.
Those who have been listening with
their ears to the ground believe that our
friend will be the next sheriff Of lonia
county, as he seems to be sure Of strorg
support wherever he is known. and his
five years on the board Of supervisors has
given him liberal acquaintance over the
county.
Gould we but have our way he could
rest from now until election time in perfect
security, for we believe in placing him in
the office ne seeks to fill that Ionia county
would be certain Of more years Of the
same kind Of service that has been rem
Tered by Elmer E. Fales. the taxpayers
interests always being well guarded"
