and no effort was made to cover the
city thoroughly for the reason that
1.-THE petition does not necessarily mean
that all signers will vote that way
on election day, but friends of Mr.
Turner and Mr.. Hull thought that

Turner in becoming candidates ana
they will run.

in maintaining the schools at the high

these men stand for. There are plenty

The petition, as circulated was as
follows:
We, the citizens Of Marshalltown
believe that of all our public institu-
tons the public school system is one
| that should be maintained at the high
est state Of efficiency possible and we
earnestly urge Messrs. c. n. Hull and
George A. Turner TO become candi
1ates for reelection as school d.
irectors."
