The announcement of George w.
Schneider, Chairman of the Board OF
Supervisors as a candidate for the NOM
ination for Sheriff on the Republican
ticket is being received throughout
Ionia county with quiet enthusiasm
that portends a successful issue.
Mr.. Schneider was a candidate for
Sheriff in the Republican primaries
four years ago and although practically
unknown in the beginning of that cam
paign, he forced Sheriff Cilley to adopt
heroic measures TO land the nomination
by the small majority of 10 votes and
during the campaign Mr.. Schneider
made many warm, steadfast friends
throughout the county who believe
him the logical candidate and earnestly
desire that he receive the nomination
now.
Mr.. Schneider is worthy son of
honored German parents and represents
the highest type of American manhood.
Born in Odessa township Al years ago,
educated in the district and high

Nine years ago as candidate for SUI

ties.
Keen, virile, fearless, honest to a
fault; capable of the highest trusts and
the truest friendships; his career has
shown an independence of judgment to-

When John j. Green assumed the
duties of county clerk in 1897, the frst
thing that confronted him was vault
full of files and records until some were
piled on the floor.
The Board of Supervisors left the
matter OF arranging for their care with
the County Clerk, which is the usual
custom with all county offices.
There had been correspondence with
several different Steel Companies in
regard TO putting in steel casing the
entire length OF the vault, and the eX-
pense was estimated at Sl,6OO.OO, but
probably would have been considerably
more. After investigating, Mr.. Green
suggested doing away with the casing
as il would necessitate walking around
the end of the same if one wished 10
cross the vault, which is a long one
and necessary several times daily. For
fifty years the files had been put in
alphabetical order, some OF the letters,
for instance, as" was entirely filled but
in V, X, y ETC., there were many years
and not n file in the box, so he sug-
gested to the Board that they he num-
bered, and commencing from the first
case every box would be filled. They
left ii to him, and at an expense OF
10000, the vault space saved by this
method was greater than the steel cas-
ing would have furnished. If it had
not been for the purchase of blank books
by some of his predecessors that were
too expensive TO destroy, the office
would have been in A No. ] order after
his one term. AS il was, the books
were numbered and lined and a system
started that under the efficient service
of County Clerk Holbrook made il
second to none. The saving of the
ST 200 90 was small matter compared
to the time and money saved to the
court, attorneys, clients and others who
had business with the County Clerk.
During his term he also collected al
fees belonging TO the county so well
that the office was more than self
sustaining. In other words, the money
saved to the Taxpayers and turned Over
to the county treasurer far exceeded the
salary paid him. Adv.

OSBORN SENTIMENT IN WAYNE

The one feature of the North End
Taft clubs picnic at Tashmoo park
Thursday, that stood out in bold re-
lief from the ordinary round of hand
shaking and speech making, was the
pronounced Osborn sentiment, which
began to manifest itself as soon as
the boat pulled away from the Detroit
dock, and continued throughout the
day, waxing stronger every moment.
1t reached its height after his speech
in the grove, when men, women and
even the children joined in giving him
what was little short of an ovation.
His earnestness and his eloquence
won the hearts of all, and the burst
of applause that followed was spon-
taneous and heartfelt.
Mr.. Osborn's address was not a DO
htical harangue In any sense. II was
more in the nature Of heart-to- heart
talk between friends, and his remarks
were addressed to the children as
well as to grownups.

souls, and / believe that is the best
standard Of measurement"
In concluding he said:
