Saturday. The tact mat only l,'oo

CITY, shows how little interest," is taken
In the school election, and notwlth-
standing all that has been said against
making partisan feelings 4 test in the
school election by locking at the re-
turns it will be seen that only with one
exception Or So where there were op-
posing candidates, Was there anything
like respectable vote cast 80 far as
numbers are concerned. However, tho
election resulted in Il rather marked
improvement Of the general make up OF
the Board over last year, something for
which the citlzenS have cause to be
profoundly thankful. The contest in
the First ward though entirely non
partisan as both the young Candidates
belonged to the progressive wing OF the
Democratic party, resulted in the
choice of Franz. W. Reeve, young
man W ho will be no discredit to the
Board either III character or ability,
though it is but simple justice TO Mr..
Emmons, the unsuccessful candidate,
to say that had he been elected the
ward would have been equally as well
represented. Mr.. Emmons had the ad-
vantage of the endorsement of the
Boys High School Alumni while Mr..
Reeve ran upon his own merits.
Though Democrat and Republi-
can were the candidates in the Second
ward, the contest can hardly be said to
have been partisan, for it is we'll known
that the Sc votes Mr.. Powell got is but
q moiety Of the Republican vote of that
ward. Mr.. b. X. Heisler, the success.
full candidate, is al old member of the
Board in length of service and having
been beaten year ago by DR.. Morr-
son, he can be excused for running up
vote this time astonishingly large
compared with other school elections
Mr.. Heisler has always made q liberal
and efficient member of the Board, and
one year off duty will hardly have in
capacitated him from active school SER
vice. In this ward Mr.. Powell had
the endorsement Of the High School
Alumni.
The Third Ward returns Mr.. Fuokel
to the Board. Though there WAS ap-
parently party contest in this ward
between Mr.. Fuekel who is q Democrat,
and Mr.. Mitchell who is a Republican,
1t cannot be said that the votes were
confined to party choice as great
many conceded that t-a German ele-
menS of the city should be represented
in the Board, and as Mr.. Fuekelpro
An efficient and well-qualified member
for the two years he has served in the
Board, hiD reelection naturally fol-

FOR which he was g candidate, and had

Fourth Ward there was no

votes were cast.
There was no opposition to the el. =
ton of N. r. Benson, Jr., in the Fifth
Ward, who got 233 votes. Mr. Benson
will without doubt make an efficient
member of the Board, as he has the
ability to DO so.
No matter what Mr. Wiley politics
are, the Sixth Ward citizens showed re-
markable good sense in offering no op-
position to his election to position Tor
which he is peculiarly qualified.
No opposition was made to the elec'
ton of Mr.. Hotfecker in the Seventh
Ward, and both the Board and the
people are fortunate in his selection tc
serve them. ~
A marked Improvement in ability
comes from the Eighth Ward in th'
election of Dr.. Keables; though hat
Mr.. Sparks been elected the improve
ment would have been no less apparent
The retirement of Mr.. Denney as
candidate left DR.. Keables as the onl!

have had no trouble in beating Mr.
Sparks.
