To the Editor of The Times In your

ment as to the candidates nominated YES
terday by the Salem convention, you
make the following statement:
"rhe nomination of--Mr. Caldwell, as
Mr. Hicks running mate is, from all ac-

Mr.. Caldwell. ar never having been in

undertake to deny the charge; but as l
supported him in the convention, and as
will vote foi him in the Novemb Der cleo
tioa, and do all in my. power for the sue

that Mr.. john p. Caldwell, who was nom :
mated yesterday, is n steward in the
Methodist Church mt Newcastle. Not
only does he hold this honorable position,
but he is recording steward for the New

Virginia the schools run -four and five
months in the year and teachers are'paid

county where such conditions exist the
county superb ntendent advocates II reduc-

APARTMENT QUESTION.

A year ago, on the occasion of the
annual school meeting, of this district
an unusually large attendance of the
voters of the district resulted in the
selection of lady as one of the men,
bers of the Board of Education. She
qualified for the position. She at
tended the meetings of the Board as
promptly and regularly as other mem
bers. Her interest was evident in all
of the questions that came before the
Board for decision. Her voice and
her vote we're always in favor of care
full and economical expenditure of
money.
She considered it one of her duties
to visit the schools. She became
more familiar with the different de-
partments of school work as it is now
conducted from personal observation
than any other member of the Board,
with the possible exception of the
other lady member.
1t seemed from this beginning that
she might become a useful member of
the Board. Her personal relations
with them we're always pleasant and
she had their highest respect as also
that of the community.
She did not care for or seek a re-
election, but she never refused her
name to be used as candidate. Her
name was presented to the voters at
the last election. It is almost an in
variable custom to continue a person
in office for at least two terms unless
there is special reason for an ex-
ception.
In wien of these facts, not one of
which can be questioned, why was she
discontinued? Was it because she
was a woman?
