The Gamblers.

tiers from the mayors Of over 100 cities Of
the United States. I wrote them, select
ing cities of over 90. 600 population With
a few exceptions these municipal leaders
agree that gambling is an injury TO any
city. and that If allowed TO go on Will
sooner or later show just how Injurious
il is. Back in s.. Paul they tried to
license II. and what was the result? The
city had TO abandon 1t because the tough
element, driven out of other cities, sought

Cedar River Water.
81 favor Mr.. elise because he has had
extensive experience in municipal matters
and because ne is a great friend of the
Cedar river water proposition. In my
judgment that water proposition means
more 10 this city than many have any
conception OF. II means cheaper water
and cheaper light. and other things that
will be Of the greatest advantage 10 Seat

about that than any other candidate for

and elise is the man 20 do H."
Acting Mayor Crichton followed up his
remarks by saying that elise would likely
he elected at the next meeting. as he was
sure seven counciimen are ready 70 vote
for him. But who they are he did not say.
He believed. NE said. there is a feeling
among the Republicans OF the council to
get together and settle the question. The
Republicans do not wish 10 have a fight
and there VIII not be- one.
It will Eke seven votes to make elise
mayor. He had six when the council in
caucus balioted Monday night, October Is
Acting Mayor Crichton voted for him as
one Of the six. But the acting mayor has
no vote In regular council meetings. so
that elise in reality had bur five votes.

Wants Component Men.

On the first Monday in June
there is to be held, in every
county in the State, an election
of members of the county boards
of education, and already steps
ale being taken Looking to the
agitation of the matter among
the present county educational
authorities.
The superintendent of public
instruction has just prepared a
circular letter which he will
within the next ten days send
out to the county school trustees.
1t is self>explanatory and is as
follows:
Il wish to call your attention
to the important election to take
place Ill your county on the first
Monday in June of this year, in
accordance with section 6 of the
law as enacted at the last
General Assembly.
II trust that the greatest wis
dom will be used in SELECTING the
county board of education. Let
men be selected far their quali>
hcatlons to- discharge the in-
portant duties as mem bers of the
board of education. I.
sincerely hope that politics will
have nothing at all to do with
the selection of these men. Let
men be selected who have the
educational interests Of their
at heart.
"Men who will not be actuated
by any party prejudice, but men
who will at all times and under
all circumstances keep the school
interests as an incentive to wise
and prudent action On their
part.
Yours very t,uly,
