A CARD FROM. w. STOUT.
To the Republicans of Shawnee County:

1 Iregret very much that I have bssn
unable to make personal canvass for
County Superintendent of Schools. A
temporary but painful lameness in one
of my ankles has made it impossible for
me to do SO. As my. life has been de-
voted to educational work feel 1T is a
worthy ambition to seek the Office of
county superintendent in county where
such lively interest is taken in educa-
tional matters, and which contains such
a large number of able and efficient
teachers. l realize that in tomorrow's
primary the contest for sheriff is the ab-
sorbing question but trust that each
voter will record his choice for superin-
tendent and whether successful or un-
successful shall cheerfully abide the
result ]. w. STOUT.
