Battle Creek Enterprise: For sew
eral months past, George w. Losey
has been constantly urged by hun
dreds of friends to allow his name to
go before the primaries as a candi-
date for the democratic nomination
for sheriff. Being comfortably situat-
ed on his farm east of town. where a
monetary incentive to office-seeking
would never intrude, he has until a
few days ago turned a deaf ear to all
entreaties. However, he has been in
duced to reconsider his determination
not to again enter politics, and will
accept if the nomination is unani-
mously rendered. The Enterprise
knows Mr., Losey to be the unanimous
choice of his party and his name will
look good on the ticket. We can state
authoritatively that if nominated, he
intends to make a vigorous campaign.
