He is a graduate of the Alma high
school and was a student ab the Central Jformal, For the past ten years
he h"as been a resident of Grant township. He was township clerk for. five
years and has held other offices of
trust, For the past two yeaw as deputy county surveyor he has virtually
performed the duties of surveyor ahd
is well Qualified for the offlcefor which
he has been nominated. Mr. Johnson
will malte » tfrsb class officer.
DR. L, L7 KELLEY
of Farwell is the republican candidate
for state representative for the Clare
district comprising the counties
of Gladwin, Roscommon and Clare,
For morebhan a quarter century
he has gone up and down
the surrounding country in the
practice of his profession, but such
a tireless worker is he that he has
found time to rlevelope large agricultural interests. He had a large part
in preparing Clare county's exhibit at
the state fair this year at which $60
was won in premiums.    Many years
the supervisor of his township, be has
this-week again been elected chairman of the board of supervisors. He
is a prominent granger and thoroughly in touch with the needs of the people. A sturdy republican, a man of
courage and will, wnll acquainted with
state issues now before the public
mind, Clare county will give the Doctor her practical indorsernent with a
big vote at the polls November 8th.
ALFRED J, DOHERTY.
The attention of the state has during
the last two legislatures been directed
to the Twenty-eighth Senatorial district in general and Clare in particular
through Senator Doherty. The Detroit Scripp's organs have in vain at
tempted to consign him to political
oblivion because he dared cross their
purposes, unscrupulously attacking
him according to all the known arts
of yellow journalism. Now it is gall
and bitterness to them to know that
their persecution has proved but a
boomerang both to the District ah d
its Senator. The Twenty-eighth district refuses to be dictated to from
Detroit and Senator Doherty will be
returned to the state senate for a
third term, there again actively to
participate in the leadership of his
party in the legislature.
WILLIAM H. BROWNE.
The nomination of W. H. Browne
of Harrison for circuit court commissioner is an excellent, one. He is a
man of excellent legal education, a

University of Michigan, is one of the
active attorney* of the■ county and is
in every way fitted for all duties that;
may com© to the office,
JOHN QUINN.
No office touches the interests of
the whole community more closely
than that of public prosecutor, Econ-
emy, honesty and fearlessness in the
discharge of public duty, all these are
prime qualifications Mr. Quinn possess to a high degree. ' He knows how
to temper justice with mercy and
while protesting society aims to reform the criminal. ' Such a man is
John Quinn of HarriS'in. He is entirely conversant with all the conditions of our country having located
here in the pioneer days over thirty
years ago." In the early nineties be
was for four years the county's prosecutor and so efficient was he as to secure conviction for ninety-one percent
of all cases tried, a record not beaten
in. the state. In recent years he has
demonstrated his ability in brilliantly
defending several noted cases tried in
the circuit court at Harrison. Mr.
Quinn is a man of strong purpose,
good judgment, and cannot be cajoled nor intimdated from administra-
tering the duties of the important
office of prosecutor as becomes a man.
He is in every way a worthy candidate.

the recognition of all classes and sections in the nomination of candidates.
Among the farmers stands the name
of Robert Hutchinson of Sheridan
township where he his resided these
many years. And he is in every way
fitted for the office of sheriff. During
the years 1896-8 he was deputy sheriff
when Lyman Leach was sheriff and
was one of the most efficient and popular deputies the county has ever had.
As the principal executive officer Of
the county he would rightly uphold
the law and economically carry out

imtthe man for the office.

rearded by many as one of the best
county clerks in the state. His education, experience, conservative - judgment, and clear head especially fit him
for the duties of bhe double office covering such a wide.range of matters.
Obliging, accurate, prompL and pains-
