CARROLL AND HIS OPPONENTS.
The Deadlock In Salinas School Board
Still Continues.

The Deadlock In Salinas School Board
still Continues.
SALINA, July 5-The deadlock which
exists in the board of education is now a
matter of serious import. Four mem
bers of the board, Messrs Davis, George,
Short and Reaves demand the retention
of the old superintendent, Prof Carroll.
They are willing, however, to proceed
with the election of teachers and organ
ization for future work.
The other four mem bsrs, Messrs. Brun-
ger, Stice and Quincy and Mrs. Prescott,
announce their determination TO not vote
for Carroll under any circumstances, and
they have assumed the tactics of block
ing all work looking toward the organ
ization of the school till the superinten-
dent question is settled. The Carroll
faction make the proposition that all re-
sign and new election be called The
anti Carroll faction declines this PROPOSE
ton.
This deadlock has been in operation
several weeks, and likelihood of the
weakening of any of the members or of
compromise seems more remote than
ever The time for opening the schools
is rapidly approaching, the teachers are
gravely concerned over the delay and
uncertainty, and if the deadlock con-
tinues, it will work great injury to the
public schools.
