 Whereas, An enlightened and progress sive administration of our public affairs is of vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of our city, and
 Whereas, The supervision of cur educa- tional interests should be removed as far as possible from all consideration of party and factional politics, and
 Whereas. The project inaugursted by President Graves and his associates upon l the board of education of expanding our school system to meet the requirements of our rapidly increasing population by es- l tablishing manual training school, 8 state normal school and 8 new high school, l. 1 deserving of the earnest commendation 1 and the hearty support of all good citi- l zens;
 Be it resolved that we emphatically de- precate any movement calculated to bring factional controversy into our coming school election.
 l Believing it to be at all times unwise and especially at the present time in view 1 of the important work the board of educa tion has in hand, we are firmly convinced that this work can be mora satisfactorily consummated by leaving it with men to whose wise fore thought and consideration; labor, it's successful inauguration Is due and that we therefore heartily endorse Messrs Graves, Plunkett and Hemingway for reelection to the board of education Feeling that such reelection will not only be deserved recognition of their valuable 1 services in the past, but will most certain. l ly insure the speedy and satisfactory con I summation of the various educational pro jects now under way,
 Resolved, That in this endorsement ot { Messrs. Graves, Plunkett and Hemingway no reflection js intended upon any gentle men whose names have been, or may be ] mentioned as candidates for membership in the board of education, but simply ar expression of our strong conviction that 8 the preeent important juncturs in our ed l rca.ional affairs it would be serioU, mistake to substitute any new men fo, tried officials, whose re election in view of their experience and familiarity with tn, work which the board has in hand would seem to be demanded by every considers tion of public policy and educational prog ress.
 Resolved, That in presenting the name C. MT. s. s. Thompson as the fourth membe of the ticket we do so fully believing tha in him the above named gentlemen wil find worthy colleague who Is fully quail fled to maintain the high standing t. which our public schools have been raised | After the resolution was read by MT Benton it was laid on the table, and nemi nations called for.
