ty have little to worry about as far a.
the primary Ia concerned as there are
but three contests for places on the
primary ticket, viz, prosecuting attor'
ney, register of deeds and coroner.
The campaign for these places has been
! carried along on eminently fair lines,
free from all personalities and bitter
ness and in such a manner that the
several aspirants can have at the close
of the polls only the kindliest feelings
for the successful candidate. For pros
ecuting attorney, two Owosso gentle
men, Seth O. Pulver and Roy d. Mat
thews are the aspirants; both are quail.
flied to discharge the duties of this
important Office; both have stated their
willingness to impartially enforce ali
laws and to assist the sheriff in carry
ing out every provision of the local
option law both are dependable men.
With either elected in November-and
one of them is sure to be-the county
will have no reason to regret the choice.
For register of deeds, q. j. Cole of
Antrim township, E. T. Wilbur of
Owosso township, and B. H. Taylor of
Owosso, are seeking the favor of the
electors and each one of them is amply
qualified to care for the books in the
office they seek. From the expressions
we have heard many of the Republi |
cans of the county would be pleased to |
vote for all three men if it were possi-
BILE A choice. however, has to be made
and it seems to be a difficult task with
three good men seeking the place
Bert 8. Griffin of Durand, for the past
four years undersheriff, and for several
years previously deputy sheriff, is un
opposed for the office of sheriff. He has
we'll earned the honor he is after as he
has proven himself an excellent officer.
Fearless, determined, aggressive, he
will discharge without favor every duty
tie law imposes upon the s. eriff and
this M. Griffin construes to include
taking the initiative in enforcing the
local option law. His standing as an
officer and his personal popularity as.
sure his selection at the November
election. Jesse A. Richardson, super.
visor Of New Haven township for a
1umber of years, one of the solid, reli.
able farmers of the county, man of
'ound business judgment, unquestioned
and most worthy citizen,
las no opposition for county treasurer.
TO support him is pleasure. He will
ldd strength to what is certain to be
trong ticket. For county clerk it is
absolutely unnecessary to say even
word for Albert L. Nichols as his record
n the office is the best possible recon- {
nendatlon. Always attentive to his
luties, the work of the Office right up
o date every day, ever genial and cour-
eous, Mr.. Nichols ia an ideal clerk.
7. r. Walsh and w. J. Parker will be
e-nominated and re elected circuit
ourt commissioners, as will be Vernon
soyce county surveyor. For coroners,
t. A. Cole and DR.. Fl. w. Wise of
)wosso, and William Cornford of Cor
nna, are aspirants, none of whom are
as to the result. An unusu-
lily good ticket will be completed by
he denomination of Alonzo Griffin of
)urand. for drain commissioner. The
after Office is the most difficult one in
he list to fill to the satisfaction of the
roperty owners of the county and a
Ian who can go through almost two
ears and retain and add to his list of
-iends can be counted diplomat.
his is just what Mr.. Griffin has done
nd in addition he has carried on his
'ork in straightforward manner and
better qualified than ever to go right
long with the intricate problems
'hich come to the office.
