closely collected and the money
promptly turned into the city treas
ury. Mr.. Dumond has also been ac-
commodating in every way and has
we'll earned another term in this i'm
portant Office. The same thing is
true with Mr.. Curry and his record
as treasurer is No. 1. His monthly
reports to the council have been COM
plete in all details and always ac-
curate, the large tax rolls of the year
were very closely collected and the
money promptly deposited to the
credit of the city so that snug sum
in interest has been received during
his incumbency of the Office. Vote
for both gentlemen on Monday next.
L. A. Sanderhoff, municipal con-
stable, has repeatedly proven that he
is an efficient officer and that his Of
fetal duties were performed without
fear or favor. He was given a large
vote at the primary and will receive a
still greater one at the election.
sAt times the Office of school inspec-
tor becomes an important one to the
Union school district and with that
thought in mind the Republicans
named Dr. A. M. Hume, for ten years
a member of the board of education,
for the place. The DR.. is too well
known to need even a word of COM
mendation and it is not necessary
to urge support for him.
The candidates for supervisor have
all served one or more years and
each is willing to go before the peo-
pie for reelection on the record made
on the board and as members of the
local board of equalization. Owosso' S
interests were carefully looked after
by these gentlemen in all matters
regarding taxation, equalization, ETC.,
and it has been frequently stated by
other supervisors during the past few
months that the Owosso supervisors
worked together for the good of the
people whom they represented. AS
in legislative and congressional cir
cles the longer a man represents a
certain constituency, the greater his
influence and usefulness-this being
true it would seem the wise thing to
re-elect Geo. NJ. Dewey, Alfred A..
Sutterby, Lloyd Webb, Vernon M.
White and George A. Perrigo as
supervisors.
Four of the five nominees for al
do. 60 g
the city council is concerned. Aid.
w. G. Appleton of the first ward is
the only Republican member of the
council seeking reelection. Mr.. APP
pleton was chosen by the council to
fill vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of H. B. Sturtevant a year ago
and is making an active canvass for
election, feeling that as he was the
unanimous choice of his party he
should receive united support on
Monday next. During the past year
he has secured a number of needed
for his ward in the way
Of street work, additional lights, fire
alarm boxes, etc. The nominee in
the second ward is Clair II. Barrett,
one of the enterprising young bust
ness men of the city, n man who
his own business in first
class manner and who is qualified in
every way to make a most excellent
alderman. Mr.. Barrett manages the
business of the Barrett Co., wholesale
dealers in beans, seeds, hay and
grain, giving employment to large
force of people the year around. AS
he is quite a heavy taxpayer he is
interested in an economical admins
tration of city affairs. Walter Jack
son, the nominee in the third ward, is
a son Of Charles Jackson, one of the
engineers at the water works, and is
regarded by those who know him as
4 fine young man, one who would be
careful in all matters upon which he
was called to act He is employed at
he Casket factory and is popular
with his fellow employees. Alfred
Palmer, candidate in the fourth ward,
las been employed at the Ann Arbor
shops for several years and is stated
o be- man of Judgment, inclined to
,e conservative good point in a
nan who Is to spend the city money
and one who would endeavor to
10 his duty in a straightforward
way. The fifth ward has most ex-
client nominee in Hayes Perrigo,
Who is associated with his father in
he handle factory, and also acts as
gent for line of automobiles. His
lection is freely predicted as he will |
re supported by the citizens party as
yell as his own. Mr.. Perrigo, II
lected will take great pride in doing |
verything possible for the upbuild-
ng not only of his own ward but Of |
he whole city. These men can be /
rusted to push Owosso to the front.
Uncalled For Partisanship.
