The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1912-03-29

during the coming year will prove a
more efficient officer than in his first
year.
SUPERvIsoRS--EXCE NOMINEES
Four of the five nominees have rep.
reese nted their wards on the board Of
supervisors one or more terms and so
satisfied are the voters of their wards
that it is safe to predict the election Of
William HI. Bigelow in the first ward,
Milton F. Grove in the third, Marion
D. Corey in the fourth and George A.
Perrigo in the fifth by good majorities.
William H. Bgelow is 80 we'll known
and so popular in the first that it is
almost useless to say even word for
him as about every voter in the ward
intends to vote for him and his ma
jority will be like it was in the days
when he ran for register Of deeds and
later on for supervisor. Mr. Bigelow's
influence will be large with the board
at its sessions and the interests of the
city well looked after. The second
ward has the only new nominee, Rob-
ert j. Ransom, manager of the Postal
Telegraph office in this city, hustling,
business. like young man who has prov
ed his capability as a campaigner by
defeating his opponent by large ma
Jority at the primary, although he de-
cided to be candidate at almost the
last hour. He is wide.awake, emerge
tic, interested in the progress of Owos-
80 and will worthily represent his ward.
Mr.. Ransom expects to see every voter
in the ward before election day and
after you look him over you will agree
with us that he is the man to vote for.
Milton F. Grove, the third ward can
date, made good record for the first
year, being assigned to important com.
mittee places and proved his capability
to care for the same. He, too, is
young man who has made his way to
the front in many ways in the affairs
of the city and especially in its frater.
nal organizations, where he has been
recognized by being elected to the
highest state Offices During the past
few months he has devoted large
share of his time to the organization ct
the Michigan Protective Association
fraternal insurance society which pro-
vides several forms of benefits, and un-
der his guidance seems destined to at
tain large membership. The fourth
ward nominee. M. d Corev, is like Mr..
Bigelow of the first, and Geo. A. Per-
through out the ward and is known as
one of the most reliable men on the
board; his long service has given him
an insight into aud an influence in
county affairs which is of value TO the
people of Owosso and which should not
be lost to them by the election of new
man so long as Mr.. Corey will consent
to serve. His successful business ca
reer and his activity in the COM
mercial life Of the city, coupled with
keen judgment, commend him for re-
election,
George A. Perrigo, the fifth ward
candidate, has been elected several
terms and has devoted more than the
usual amount of time to the work of
the Office, discharging his duties in q
most conscientious manner. Because
of rather poor health he will not be able
to make an active canvass for re- elec-
ton but his friends do not intend to let
his interests go by default. Mr.. Per-
rigo should be given large majority.
Briefly the several candidates are men
Of good Judgment, men who will be
careful in the expenditures for which
they are responsible and who will care
for every interest of Owosso in county
affairs. Elect them all.
ALDERMEN - COMPETENT MEN NoMI.
MATED.
Having in mind the fact that the
rate of city taxes is practically de-
termined by the care with which city
funds are expended, the Republicans Of
the first four wards happily nominated
candidates for aldermen who are good
finsnciers for themselves and two Of
whom have shown to the voters by
their official acts in the council that
they believe the same Judgment which
they exercisein parting with theirown
