Mr.. R. J. Nichols, president Of the
Dusty Mckinley club. is inclined to
chant the praises of his school district,
viewed politically. He says: THE
school district in which 1 reside con-
tains 22 legal voters, not one of whom.
to my Knowledge, is democrat. What
school district, even i'll this republican
year, can beat that? Or what democratic
schooi district can offset it with as large
a proportional majority" This is a
most cleditable showing for so large a
district and Mr.. Nichols pride is justif-
able.
