Political Notes.


as alderman that man is Will Wren o.
the second ward. Going into tn,
council without experience he acted
very cautiously until he had learned
council procedure. Not mistake hal
been charged up against him. Giver
another two year term he will strive to
do still better.
Notwithstanding the assertion of the
Press American, the first ward Republi
can primary was not illegal; nor was il
held in room adjacent to room
where intoxicating liquors are sold.
Moreover, the primary would not have
been illegal if it had been held in the
Office of the Hauck House, although it
would have been technically in vari-
ance with the law.
When the election returns are in from
Owosso township it will be found that
the Republican ticket headed by E. T.
Wilbur for supervisor will be elected as
usual. The other nominees are: VIM.
II. Launstein, clerk; Geo. 1. Rush,
treasurer; w. s. Carson, Justice; Au-
gust F. Stewart, highway commission
er; Silas Bailey, oyerseer; member
board review, Chas. A. Doane. The op-
posing ticket is known as the citizens
and has no candidate for su pervisor.
If the Republicans stand by their
ward nominees every one of them will
be elected as they deserve to be. Not
single good reason has been advanced
for favoring their opponents. With a
single exception each of them has
served in the Office for which they
have again been nominated and all
have proven their capacity to care for
the work devolving upon them. Each
of them is a taxpayer and naturally in
terested III an economical administra-
ton.
Beside electing the Republican ticket
on Monday next, the voters of Ben
nington will decide the question of ex-
pending 5000 to erect town hall
that Bennington surely needs
and can afford. The Republican nomi-
nees are: Supervisor, T. j. Hicks;
clerk, F. B. Day; treasurer, B. II. Tay-
lor; justice, G. J. Thomas; highway
l.. W. Leffingwell; over
seer, M. w. Castle; members board re-
view, P. Greene, John Clark. It's a
good ticket to tie to. Messrs. Hicks
and Day were re-nominated without op-
position.
THE TIMES wishes to extend its con-
gratulations to Supervisor Chss. E.
Godfrey of Shiawassee township upon
the fact his reelection is assured with
out opposition, the democrats not hav
ing placed ticket in the field The
other nominees on the ticket are: Clerk,
W. L. Wright; treasurer, Bruce Hutch.
ings; highway commissioner, Edward
Sheldon; overseer, Frank Ketchum;
justice, John G. Carruthers. tits to be
hoped that the Republicans of the
township will not fail to vote because
of the fact that their ticket is unop-
posed. 1t is important that a full vote
should be cast because of the state
ticket.
The effort to prove that George W.
Detwiler was the third candidate
placed in the field for mayor has no
in fact. The Republican
primaries were held Thursday evening
and at that time Mr.. Detwiler received
more votes than were cast for any otht r
Republican. The committee at IFS
meeting Friday evening refused to
recognize as legal any votes cast for w.
d. Burke as he is an enrolled Democrat
and declared George w. Detwiler the
nominee, having assurance. that he
would probably accept. AS soon as this
action was taken the result was tele-
phoned to parties present at the citizens
caucus, which had at that time made
no nomination for mayor.
