Jacob Woessner as an anti-Frenzel candi-
date. which he expresses in the following
AT the solicitation of a number of my
neighbors have decided to be candidate
for the office, of school commissioner from
time until the election, which occurs on
Saturday, June II, | may be unable, to see
method of soliciting your support, if you
can consistently give 1t to me. l am in ia
vor of an honest and economical admins
tration of the school funds, and the pay
ment of the interest on the funds into the
school treasury. / am opposed to the Fren-
gel combination and any other combine or
corporation control Of the schools. / am a
taxpayer and am sending four children to
the public schools. ] am interested in the
best possible school government. and if
elected l shall do all in my power to secure
the best reults for the people. If these
views suit you, would be glad to have your
vote, and to have you speak word for me
to your neighbors.

AT an informal meeting of the Republic
ans in this district recently Joseph Earn
shaw, of No. GO Huron street, was Endorsed,
and he will probably receive a strong vote.
The Democracy of the Seventh district
has prevailed on Maurice O'Connor. the first
candidate, TO withdraw in favor of Jere-
miah Collins, who ii is thought, will bring
out the strength of the party as an anti
Frenzel candidate, which could not be done
If two such popular men as O'Connor and
Collins divided the votes. Others spoken of
likely to run in this district are Richard
Neff. Democrat and Leander A Fulmer,
Republican.
