The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1912-10-25
REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET
Excellent Nominations For All the
Offices Nominees Competent
and Worthy of Support.

The voters of the county have al
ready had one opportunity this
year to express their choice as to
who should fill the several county
Offices after January 1st next and by
large majority the vote cast at the
primary indicated that the gentlemen
who sought nominations on the Re-
publican ticket would be very salts
factory to Them This being a year
when the cry is going up on all sides
to "let the people rule" it may not
be amiss to suggest that the result
of the primary shows who will win
at the polls when the next vote is
taken on November 5th. The citizens
of the county without regard to po-
litical beliefs have been pretty well
satisfied with the management Of
county affairs for several years past
and unless we are greatly mistaken
they will invite by very substantial
vote the present Republican officers
who are candidates for reelection to
continue on for two more years. This
will not be brought about solely by
Republican votes, as many voters of
the other parties will find it pleas
ure to vote for several of the can
didates on our ticket, and it is a
common occurrence to be told by
the followers of the new party that
they intend to vote the Republican
ticket from governor down. The
men who are seeking reelection have
devoted their entire time to their Off
cial work, have been active, efficient,
economical and always courteous.
The new men on the ticket have
shown in other public positions their
inclination to follow along similar
lines, so that in its entirety the tick
ct is one that every Republican can
well be satisfied with, work for, vote
fer and feel that its election is for
the best interest of Shiawassee coun-
ty. The Republicans of the county
having said by their votes that they
wish these men as officers, it is now
incumbent on the individual Republi-
can to do his part toward polling as
many votes as possible for them next
month. Do not leave all the work
to the party committee and candi-
dates. Your help will be appreciated
and word of endorsement to your
neighbor who possibly does not know
these gentlemen as we'll as you, will
mean added votes for them.
The citizens of the county have
voted so many times for Hon. Mat
thew Bush for Judge of Probate that
the habit has become firmly fixed,
and this is not the year to swear off
on the habit. Four years ago the
Democratic party practically en-
dorsed him by not naming candi-
date for the position, and not few
favored the same course this year,
realizing that Shiawassee county
never had more conscientious or
painstaking man in this most import
ant Office. His years of experience,
his knowledge of the intricate prob
lens which enter into the settlement
of many estates, his ripe judgment,
and his unquestioned honesty are
factors which will win for him re-
newal of his commission for four
years more
Edwin J. Herrick and Joseph H.
Collins, as Sheriff and Prosecutor,
have carried out the promises made
to the people two years ago by doing
their full duty in all matters which
have come to them for action. The
laws have been well enforced, COM
plants have been carefully investi-
gated and those without merit or
