tications as others. Must have resid

Our populist friends are claiming
that a lady is hardly qualified to do
the work of u county superintendent
and Yet urge the election OF Mrs.
f.isenhuth for state superintendent
which is an Office very much harder to
fill in proportion. This would seem
to te the height OF inconsistency
Lady superintendent have been tried
for II good many years and have
proven satisfactory in nearly every
instance One OF the professors Of
G.. +. University who was here last
summer said the people of GriggS
county need have no fear OF electing
Clara Feiring as far as qualifications
were concerned. That she was pre-
etninently we'll qualified to fill the Of
flee. That Supt. Sinclair has filled
the Office satisfactory for six years is
to his credit and would be strong
argument in favor of his retaining it,
if there were no others equally as we'll
qualified to fill the office. but loses its
force as an argument when opposed by
a candidate equally as we'll Or better
qualified.
1t scarcely seems possible that the
voters of Griggs county will not
recognize the fitness of things and not
continue Will Carleton as probate
Judge In the early days of county
the office is of no Importance and is
generally thrown as a sop to someone
But as IA county grows. so does the i'm
portance of the Office in the county
carrying with it duties and powers
equal to that of ~ circuit Judge. This
means that to i'll the Office one mus
have a. thorough business or lega
education. Previous to this the office
has been filled bv upright men, but the
records are not in good condition an(
are likely to prove a source of trouble
and expense for years to come, Th,
populist board recognized Mr.. Carrie
toms qualifications for this office ane
his appointment will always stand tt
their credit Let us all show equal,
