bers of the Board Of Education in thi:
city is Of great Importance. n should
bring out all the voters. Usually ther,
IS much apathy Concerning the schoo
elections. Yet they deeply concerr
1every citizen. The chief thing L
achieve is to place the right kind o,
men on th3f Board. men who will take
deep interest in all educational mat
ters IL the city, and who will at the
same time have due regard to economy
Il is not simply educated men whs
are needed in that body. They should
De also practical men of administra tive
apility The educational work to b
conducted is largely under the direction
OF The Superintendent Of Schools. The
ineonbent is a very competent mar
ana has given eminent satisfaction
But Lac Board should be composed OF
men of affairs, who can not only pass
unon scholastic regulations but manage
lne finances and attend to the material
/ things that are connected with school
buildings, apparatus, grounds and other
necessary attachments.
The voters. then, should see to it that
such men are elected members OF the
Board Of Education. It is not of 50
much consequence what political party
they belong to. 1t is matter of regret
that this partisan question has been
dragged into the school election. II
would not have been so Introduced but
for the action OF rabid Republicans.
In the First Precinct the Republican
candidate is j. ]. Thomas, who was
promised the place by Jake Greenewald
and is the strictly partisan candidate
of the element represented by his pa
iron. Heywiil receive the support of
that facdon, no doubt. We have moth
ing TO say against the gentleman nor
have we much to say in his favor for
the position which he was promised as
a political reward
Adam Spiers has been nominated by
the Democrats, who felt that it was
their duty to take active part in this
election for principles sake. He has
served the public in several positions
and always conscientiously and ably.
His record is without flaw. He is
well fitted for the post. His party is
in the minority. but he ought to be in
the majority in this election.
In the Second preci2ct, SO far, we
have heard of but one nomination,
that. of ". r Col',,n. a Republican who
is well qualified TO act in the impar-
tant. position TO which he wiz doubtless
be elected, Those who know him most
speak 6. him the best.
In The Third precinct, Walter J.
1Seadie is renominated by the ReDub-
lieAns. George G, Bywater mas been
selected by the Democrats. Mr.. Beattia
/ has been a very Efficient member of
the Board and has not shown q par
tlsan spirit in his manner or actions
II ne was from a Republican district
ms reelection would be almost sure
ana also understandable But Mr.. BY
water, representing the Democrats in
mat preei,act, is a well-known. able
ana firm friend of education. having
'he confidence of the people ana also
uhe qualifications varied in a mem
per OF that body; he should receive his
eit1fe party vote, if no more, and be
~N'SN uil " euIeSQa..
In the Fourth precinct, the Repub-
leans have nominated S. W. Morrison.
Though he is known in business cir
cles' he is comparatively unknown in
Pc precinct where he resides. As it is
democratic district it is scarcely to
be expected that he will win.
The Democrats have nominated Mar
cellus E. Woolley. 1t was expected
that R ". Young, who has served
two terms and is second to none on
that Board, world have been renomi-
mated as his services have been so
eminentiy efficient But third terms
are not popular. Mr. Woolley Will
make 2,n active, energetic, business
IKE member and viii no doubt poll
god majority on Wednesday.
In the Fifth precinct. ]. f. Dolly
mas been put up again by the Repub-
hcans. In addition to The fact tiaat
It is a Republican precinct, he has been
strong member of the Board. is of a
practical business turn of mind. and
though closely allied to the banking
interest, to which some people object.
he has been useful also in that ca
pacity. But his denomination was
brought about, SO many Republicans
say. by connivance of men from other
precincts, and non-residents of the
Fifth were known TO have cast their
votes at the primary and this has Civ
en- great dissatisfaction.
The Der7gscr-a - u-ar+rg1 - No., ,,--..
san candidate and would have helped
TO nominate a Republican-not NJ.
Dooly-but We're ruled out. So they
have nominated T. A. Williams, man
born and educated in this city. for
some time manager OF the Salt Lake
Hardware company. bright. intelligent
and familiar with the educati onai needs !
Of the times. He should have the full
vote of his party, although he Will be
non-partisan on the Board if elected.
as will all the Democratic nominees.
We have used the word Precinct as
it is commonly had in this city. but in :
this case it should be Municipal I
Ward, as that is the term technically I
correct and ought to be so printed on
the ballots.
Now let the friends of education go !
to the polls on Wednesday and cast
their ballots for the best men regard
less of party lines. If that is done we
believe the Democratic nominees will |
receive the majority of the votes and
that they viii intrude no partisan in
terests into school affairs.
