of those who favor the maintenance of
the public school system, including the
high school. as it now exists, met last
evening at the Office of Bamberger &
Mcmillan to perfect the arrangements
for the nomination and election of two
members to the board of education
from each of the five municipal wards
of the city. Chairman H. G. Mcmillan
presided, and there were about % mem
bers of the committee present.
Harry G. Hill, who was named as a
member of the committee from the Sec
ond ward. was unable to act, and Al
bert Riser was appointed in his stead.
Mr. oLuis Cohn moved that each of
| the wards hold mass conventions to
make the nominations, on Thursday
evening next.
The action taken by the Fourth pre-
cinct people in calling primaries for
tonight for the election of delegates to
| convention TO be held at Taggart' S
hall to make nominations on Thursday
evening, was referred to as being a
somewhat different mode Of procedure
to that suggested in Mr. Cohn's motion,
which contemplated making the nomi-
nations not by delegates, but in mass
convention.
| Judge Bowman, as a representative
of the Fourth ward, said the plan of
| holding primaries and electing dele
gates to a nominating convention had
! been adopted as a means of preventing
as far as possible the packing sys-
TEN, which might be resorted to in
mass conventions to defeat the object
of the movement.
| Colonel Nelson and others thought the
plan adopted by the Fourth ward was
! the better one, but that now there was
not sufficient time for the other wards
! to do likewise.
After some discussion it was resolved
| that the committees from the five
wards caucus separately and formulate
calls. The result was the Fourth adj
hered to their original plan and the
First and Fifth fixed on holding mass
conventions. and formulated calls as
given elsewhere. for Thursday evening
William N. Elliott was the only repre-
sentative present from the Third, and
no action was taken in regard to it.
while the members from the Second ar
ranged to meet at the Tribune Office
at noon today to make their arrange
| mentS.

ole Mormon and non-MOrmon citizens
should be equally represented in the
! nominations, aad that the various po-
litical parties should also be considered
Conditions existed which had to be re-
cogniZed. and to do so in a fair and
generous spirit would materially aid
the success of the movement.
