The election of women to the office of
school committee in this and other COM
monwealths gives evidence of the appre-
citation of her worth by communities
and by appointing powers.
There is now being made IN our own
city, an effort entirely non-part1san, to
place woman representative upon the
school board; and the name OF Mrs "A u
gusta III. Hunt, member of the Liter
airy Union, and woman emlnently
qualified for the service, has, been placed
in the official ballot of Ward by petit
ton of mem bers of all political parties
OF that ward. This movement is not
made in opposition to any other chnol-
date, but because a vacancy eXlsts III
that ward, and because there is strong
feeling throughout the city that por-
ton of the school board should consist
OF women. 1t would have been wise,
as well as courteous thing, for all par
ties to have put her Game in nomlna-
tion. 1t is to be hoped that the indlvld-
ual voters of Ward 6 will take this init
auory movement and elect this estlma-
BILE woman to the school board. In doing
this they will surely make no mistake.
Sac is strongly supported by the Wom-
ans Literary Union, and there is also
strong public sentiment in her favor.

To the Editor of the PRESS:
Lest an article which appeared in the
Sunday Telegram of oath issue, relating
to the attitude of the Woman's Liter airy
Union towards the nomination of Mrs.
Geo. S. Hunt as member of tile school
board, and which conveys the idea that
there is a friction in consequence of such
nomination between the above named
Union and the Woman's Council, permit
me, through youl columns to state that
there is not the slightest foundation for
such an assertion.
The object of the Literary Union be-
ing distinctly of a literary nature, it
was the sense of the Union that to en-
ter into anything seemingly of a politi-
cal character would be foreign to the
purposes of the organization. Mrs
Hunt has no more ardent supporters
than the mem bers of the Literary Union,
who, instead of predicting her defeat, :"
look forward to the success i'll this new
field of labor, which she is willing to I'M
dartake.
Mrs. Hunt is an honored member of
the Woman's Literary Union, and her
associates extend to her their most
hearty cooperation.

The New Dem ocratic Paper,

A meeting of some of the local Democrats
was held in the office of Clifford and verrill
last evening to consider proposition in re-
lation to a new Democratic evening paper
in Portland. 1t is understood that the Plum
Trust, who recently transplanted the Ken
nebec Democrat from Waterville to Au-
gusta, would like to transplant it again to
Portland and make daily of it. In this
way they would hope to increase greatly its
patronage and influence. 1t may be stated
that with this venture the Hon. John W.
Deering and DR.. S. c. Gordon are not in
terested. Of course the success of the move
ment will depend on the financial assistance
Portland Democrats are willing.to give. 1t
is not understood that any very definite
results were attained at last evenings meet
ing.
