An Important Issue.


Frequently have our citizens been
strongly urged by the candidates for the
Legislature TO support and help seat a
man in Gubernatorial chair, who is in
favor of the amendment to the State
constitution, providing for a II ore just
and equal division of the Public School
Funds. Perhaps that some of you do
not know that Judge J. II. Longno is
this man; he has openly declared himself
as in favor of the amendment, though he
halls from county, and that section of
counties of the State, which are getting
the benefit of the present system of dis
tribution. Now bear this in mind when
you 60 to prepare your ticket in the
coming primary election. Remember
that the welfare mayhaps of your child
rem, your neighbors' children, and the
children of many of your neighboring
counties depends on how you cast your
vote.
Perhaps you will want to know why so
much hangs on the selection of the next
Governor. Its just this; after we have
sent men to the Legislature who will
cast their vote for the amendment and it
passes both their bodies it then has to be
approved by the Governor. So you see
how much rests on this after having his
approval it will then be submitted to the
people. Only qualified electors will be
allowed to vote. So il their be anything
to disqualify you, see tnat it is removed
Leave no vulnerable spots on your
armor, least they be pierced. As you
know the counties that reap the benefit
OF the present unjust system of dis
tribution are going to use all their com
bined efforts to defeat this move. They
will contest every step we make. The
fight is goin;; TO be long, bitter, fierce
battle, with about the same odds on each
side. To carry our purpose we all must
put our shoulder to the wheel, and strain
every muscle. Our brothers in Perry are
gong to be IN the fight with US, tooth
and nail. There are numerous other
counties that will rally to this slogan, as
| will be shown in their choice of candi-
dates who will support this move.
We must do likewise. Our candidate
| Mr.. Alderman) for State Senator is
with us, and he has shown up the n
equal division of the school fund. Our
representate, Hon. J. A. Smith, who as
pires To II re- election, voted for this move
in the house when it was defeated. He
can be counted on.

ing Of the Germania Maennerchor at River
View Sunday an enjoyable affair The
steamer Samuel J. Pentz made three trips
to the View. and during the afternoon and
evening over 1900 persons visited the re-
sort. The committee in charge of the affair
had arranged a program of fourteen num-
bers, embodying selections from the leading
vocal music writers in the German tongue.
This was rendered by the full chorus of the
Maennerchor in a manner that called for
repeated encores The instrumental con-
cert was given on the steamer by Chris
Arth's River View Orchestra, and on the
grounds by Prof Louis Naecker's Band and
Orchestra, which had been engaged espe-
cially for the occasion. The members of
the Maennerehor and the committee in
charge are more than pleased at the sue
cess of this their twelfth annual outing.
