Augustus Woodard, of Owosso, adiAkt--
ted he was not afraid to run and the
convention quickly put him on the list.
| w. f. Gallagher then presented
Warren Jarrad for sheriff claiming that
he had always done his duty, favored
nor feared any man and he was glad he
had seconded his nomination two years
ago and had never been ashamed of it.
DIR. Smith, of Vernon, said he believed
Jarrad could get one hundred more
votes than any other democrat in Yer
non township and that the county had
never had better sheriff. Wallace
Burke also seconded the nomination
thinking Mr.. Jarrad should have
second term; that he had been abused
and accused Of misdemeanor, but which
he had not been convicted of commit
ting; that his father was a good man
and Jarrad himself was good man
and a true friend.
DIR. X. @. Fair asked for ballot but
the chair did not entertain the motion
and started to put motion that the
secretary cast the ballot of the conven-
tion for Jarrad when DIR. Fair on behalf
of some of the delegates objected and
called for an informal ballot. After
considerable talk, the chairman put the
motion and Jarrad was nominated and
then he explained that he did not un-f
derstand that DR.. Fair on behalf of
some of the delegates had objected.
After quite wait for someone to re-
port, L. L. Conn said j. E. Lawcock, of
Venice, had been suggested for clerk
and he was quickly named. DR.. H. c.,
Benson, of Laingsburg, was chosen for
Register of Deeds.
Oscar Cronk was suggested for treas
urer, and Ira Snyder spoke of T. NJ.
Euler. Mr.. Euler said he did not desire
a nomination and thought Cronk would
make better run, but the convention
chose, Euler unanimously.
b. Williams nominated Geo. E. Par
dee for prosecuting attorney and the
nomination was seconded by Wallace
Burke, who said Mr.. Pardee was an
able, conscientious, public spirited at
torney and fully capable of filling
properly this most important Office 1t
was not known that Mr.: Pardee would
accept but he was chosen by acclama-
! tion.
Ralph Payne was selected to run for
surveyor and A. L. Beard and Owen
Rippey for circuit court commissioners,
although the latter said he would not
be resident of the county by election
time.
Wallace Burke suggested that it
would be good thing to have two rep
utable doctors as candidates for coron-
ers, who would have sense enough to
realize when to hold an inquest and
when to stay away and not be looking
for the fee to be made out of interfer-
ing with the action of dead peoples
families in their arrangement for
funerals; making them step aside for
Jury" to view the remains DR..
T. b. Scott was suggested but it was
stated he was republican; Dr. Fair
said he would not accept and finally DR..
Shickle, of Owosso and DR.. Holtzman,
of Vernon were put on the ticket.
