1t is known to all men that Gustave
F, Friegel has been success as muni-
cipal justice during the nearly four
years he has served Owosso in that
capacity. This success was predicted
by those who knew him when he was
hrst nominated as they realized that he
possessed the good sense, the sound
judgment and the courage to do his
duty in the office without fear or favor.
| His training in the law was counted as
greatly in his favor and it has proven
to be, for who has heard of any cases
being thrown out of court or having to
be commenced over by reason of errors
/ in the papers he has drawn either in
civil or criminal cases; it has also en-
abled him to conduct cases in a more
rapid manner than is usual in Justice
court, thereby saving many a dollar in
court expense to litigants as well as to
tax payers; it has helped him in getting
at what was right to do when it has
been necessary for him to impose sen.
fences for those who have been convict.
ed in his court-in short this training
has made him an ideal Justice. Fre-
quently his advice and counsel-not
alone in the court room but day after
day outside-has saved not few Young
men and women who had started on
downward career; the fatherly talk
given, the appeal made to liye rightly
has touched responsive chord where
punishment would have wrought pos.
sible ruin. His big heartedness and
generosity along this line has not
lead him into error in inhicting light
fines when the circumstances warrant.
ed otherwise. His court is always con.
Quoted in an orderly manner and il is a
pleasure for attorneys to transact busi-
ness therein. His experience of the
past four years will the better fit him
for further service in the Office.
While to some the Office of municipal
constable may seem of small importance
the truth is to the contrary. There are
far more duties devolvirg upon this
officer than the public realize and it is
position in which experience counts
for much in the way of satisfactory
service. The present incumbent, Frank
r. Forster. has served very acceptably
for two years ard was re- nominated
without opposition. Mr.. Forster is
willing to have the voters Judge him by
his service and record in the past, be-
lieving that If they will do this he will
be again elected.
For aldermen three Of the present
council are sgain in the running, John
j. Mcdonald in the first ward, Edwin
f. Conant in the fourth and William
E. Washburn In the fifth; the other
nominees being Elmer B. Shuts for the
one year term, S. Ray Stinson for the
full term in the second; and Stephen
Springett in the third ward. There is
no reason why these candidates should
not receive the full party vote. The
present aldermen who are candidates
have devoted much time in the past to
their duties and have given good ser.
vice both to the city and to their wards.
All three were re nominated without
any effort on their part and this alone
justifies them in asking support at the
polls. Each has had important com.
mittee assignments in the council and
have an understanding of city affairs
which no new man could acquire only
through long term Of service. 1t is
to the advantage Of the wards to retain
these men in their position. OF the
new men, Elmer B. Shuts and Ray
