Ann Arbor Town Nominations

ANN ARBOR TOWN NOMINATIONS

The Democratic town caucus of Ann Arbor was held at the courthouse Saturday afternoon. Walter Bilbie was nominated for supervisor and a full ticket as follows:

Clerk - C. F. Staebler.

Treasurer - Frank Hagen.

Justice (Full Term) - Fred Haas.

Justice (To Fill Vacancy) - Andrew Smith.

Board of Review - Henry Feldkamp.

School Inspector - John Jetter.

Highway Commissioner - Cari Weidman.

At the close of the business, Warren Smith, the candidate for school commissioner, was called on for remarks. He congratulated the caucus on the lively interest shown by the democrats of Ann Arbor. He declared his own interest in the little red school house, though not partial to red as the color, and he wanted the school house just as big as the wealth of the district and the number of children would justify. He declared himself In favor of the farmers raising large families, for the blood and brain and brawn of the American farmer is the best raw material we have for making American citizens. He believed that the boys and girls of the farm should be educated for the farm, not away from it. This does not mean less education. It does not mean that the best business and professional men of our cities and towns will not continue to be the boys who were raised on the farm. But it does mean that the spirit of our education should not arouse in the children an opposition to the wholesome life and work of the home farm.
