if any republican fails to register Of
vote and his work will be directed t.
ensure the election of all the nominees
L. A. Sanderhoof, the nominee fol
municipal constable, defeated his three
competitors by a small margin. He
has served as deputy sheriff and was
given or edit for being an efficient off
Ger. There is no question as to his, cleo
ton.
The republican city committee met
last evening and canvassed the returns
of the primary, The name of j. H.
Robbins was also placed on the ticket
for school inspector Plans were dis.
cussed for vigorous campaign.
Another meeting with the nominees is
to be held this evening.
! The officers of the city committee had
every detail in connection with the
primaries we'll in hand and general
satisfaction has since been expressed
with the plan of making the nomina-
tions. 1t was the largest vote eyer
cast in the city for spring nominations.
Election day will see a still larger vote
for the ticket nominated
IL have been about the city much of
late" said business man to THE
TIMES, "and find general disposition
to stand for the election of the republi-
can ticket this year. There is not the
sentiment that prevailed year ago for
bipartisan ticket Good nomina-
tions, and the list of primary candi
dates ensures that, means clean
sweep for the ticket"
City Clerk Conant will receive fiat
tering vote for alderman in the 4th
ward His years service as city lclerk
has given him good insight into the
city business and he would easily have
been re elected to that Office if he had
not decided to resume his former posi-
ton with the Owosso Manufacturing Co.
AS an alderman he will give satisfac-
ton not only to the people of his ward
but to the entire city.
The surprise Of the day was the nomi-
nation for treasurer as it had been quite
generally conceded that G. w. Parker
would win. The successful candidate,
l. G. Curry, stated at the outset of the
contest that he would not make any
effort to be nominated but that if nomi-
mated he would make every possible en-
deavor to be elected. His nomination
under the circumstances is highly
gratifying to him and augurs we'll for
success April 1st.
The contest in the second ward for
alderman was the closest contest of the
day and until the votes were neatly all
counted it was impossible to tell who
would prove the winner The success
full candidate, Will Wren, won by but
eight votes The assurances of support
pledged him after the primary should
ensure fine majority at the election.
MIR. Wrenn has lived in the ward many
years, is taxpayer and hence inter
ested in the careful management of the
city finances is man of good judg.
ment and ought to prove first class
official.
Arthur H. Dumond certainly has
reason to feel proud of the run he made
for clerk. Entering the race some time
after the other candidates did, and only
after it was decided to make nomina-
tions by the primary method, he found
some of his friends committed to the
of the other gentlemen. Even |
with this handicap hel carried every
ward by very complimentary vote, a |
fact which proves his popularity. His
ability is unquestioned and it only re-
mains now for his friends to rally in
his behalf between now and election day.
Registration, Saturday, March 30.
