John MCLAUGHLIN. Superintendent Public
Instruction, Sumner County:
"Your letter aud Wellington Eve
ming Journal just received.
Neither Of Us are responsible for
the defeat of Mr.. Bear for president
OF the State Teachers association.
John Mcdonald could have been
elected 10 that position any time for
several years past; has always refused
10 accept 1t heretofore. II is no dis.
credit TO be defeated by him. ANY
statements to the effect that letter
from you Of the nature quoted in the
wellington Journal, had anything
to do with Mr.. Bears defeat are
entirely without foundation. Where
the State Journal reporter obtained
his Information l do not know. Ill
was not from me.
1T has always been the polio, of
the association to have the Office seek
the man. In my humble judgment.
Mr.. Bears defeat is due TO the fact
that his candidacy was urged too
eagerly and persistently by his friends
and himself. 1t was generally known
also, that the American Book com.
pany was urging his candidacy.
THE effort TO hold any one or two
persons responsible for Mr.. Bears de.
feat Is not complimentary to the asso.
citation. They did what, in their
judgment, seemed best. The selection
made was universally satisfactory.
and attacks upon any individual for
what was the wish of very large
majority Of the ass Iciation, IL would
seem to me are entirely out If place. "
Respectfully Yours.
