This is the first time in the history
of Webster county that any party has
%ventured to propose for the office Of
superintendent OF schools, a person
who has not had a wide experience In
anyone not identified in any way with
educational interests Of the county has
been proposed for that Office. We can
only believe that the honest, thought
full members of the populist cOnven-
ton were mi informed regarding the
Rev. Hussong. The Rev. Hussong has
a brother who is a school man; his rep.
utation seems to have been borrowed
for the OCCASION. The Rev. Hussong
has had a wide experience as a preacher.
/ Mrs. Case has had a wide experience
as a teacher, having been identified
with the school interests Of this county
for the past eighteen years. What is
wanted IN that office is not a man who
will "take off his coat" and woik for
the interest Of a political party, but an
individual whose previous training has
fitted him to skillfully supervise IA
schools Argus.
