BUTTE, April 5.-The fpolling places at
| the school election tomorrow will be at
the High school building, and there will
DO ample accommodations for all voters.
Every man and woman who has the inter-
est of the public schools at heart should
consider ii personal duty to vote and get
others to vote for Mrs. Jennie II. Moore
| and Travers NJ. Ford. the citizens candi-
dates who were nominated in an open
and public convention. A vote for Haw-
| ley and Hoskins will be q vote against
the public schools. They were not nomi-
mated by any public body and they are
| pledged to put the schools back where
they were few years ago; to discharge
Superintendent Hendricks and Principal
J. G. Mckay at the close of the year; to
have but nine months of school and to
| give employment only to the needy of
their order in making repairs to employ
only teachers and principals who belong
| to their order. 90
| Neither man is qualified for the position
he seeks. Hawley wants Office only for
| the work he can get out of the district as
| a carpenter and jack of all trades, in
| which he has been most successful in the
| past two years in direct violation OF law.
| Do the people want such a man to have
voice in the employment OF 100 teachers
/ ana inc QlSDurSement aunudiiy Oh %loo.-
600 of school money? Every effort he has
| exerted since he has been on the board
has been to create discord in the schools
| and TO cast suspicion on the dark lantern
| work of the trustees.
| I II is, a reflection on the intelligence of
| the people OF Butte to select such man
| to Judge of teachers qualifications, or of
| the condition of the schools.
! I Hoskins, the other candidate on the
| Hawiey ticket, is a man of limited educa-
| ton. although he taught a country school
| in Wisconsin. He has no family and is
| Interested in the schools insofar as 1t Will
help his business. He is busy man and
| has no time to give to the schools. he Is
not a property owner and not even tax
| payer. His residence in Butte is but tenn
porary, and il he should get out OF en-
ployment tomorrow he would leave the
| city. Personally he is gentleman and
good fellow, but is not a proper man Tor
| school trustee.
/ Mrs. Jennie II. Moore has been a sue
cessful teacher for many years. She Is
thoroughly educated and qualified to
Judge of teachers and schools. She is in
Il terested in the schools and will give them
| more time than the other SIX members OF
| the board. She is an experienced high
| school teacher and can take any depart
| ment or class and instruct it. Mrs. Moore
| will raise the standard of the High school
i because she knows thoroughly the needs
i and workings of first class school. Haw-
4 lew will lowerthe standard because he is
not qualified to judge of its workings.
l. Travers NJ. Ford Is a college graduate
and one of the most successful business
4 men in Butte. He has a family of two
children, one of whom is now attending
1.-the public schools. He has therefore a
Ilpersorial interest in them. Mr.. Ford will
be invaluable as business member OF
1.-THE board. He will have every dollar of
the school money 90 to the schools. He
owns his own home.
Mrs. Moore and Mr.. Ford will give the
district 10 months of school a year. They
are competent to pass on the qualifica'
/ tions of teachers. They will raise the
standard of the schools. They will give
Butte high school second to none in the
West and a public school system OF which
to be proud.
| Vote for Mrs. Moore and Mr.. Ford.
