WON BY INDIVIDUALITY
ELECTION OF MISS MARY B. FLYNN, COUNTY sUPERINTEN-
DENT OF STEVENS COUNTY, PERSONAL VICTORY.

with no Organization behind her and
a very strong one against her
She was born in 1872, graduated from
the Morris high school in 1885, has taught
in country schools since then, even teaching
a short term after her election to keep
herself busy till she assumed office in
January.
Miss Flynn is a signal exponent Of the
real utility and beneficence Of the Min
nesota school system. with especial en-
phasts on the substituting Of high schools
by the commonwealth and the supplying
of free text books by the local authorities;
for, with no Estate aid Morris could
scarcely-if at all-maintain a high school,
and with the necessity Of buying all text
books used by a family Of six or seven,
Miss Flynn would have faced strong
probability Of giving up high-school priv
ileges.
Throughout her high-school course she
wasza. hard student, a good debater, and
upon the graduation platform delivered
such forceful, really erudite address
that people even then began to predict
for her more than an ordinary career, and
some were bold enough to say that she
might become county superintendent
though both her sex and politics seemed
to forestall that. Notwithstanding th'
odds, last summer she announced her.

CY HOLDS THE REINS.

Gen. Leonard Wood visited Topeka The latter
part of last week, and while there, he and Cy
Leland held private consultation, after the
Kansas Day banquet.
There is no doubt that Leland occupies the
seat in the band wagon, and is holding the
strings. Senator Burton and Dave Mulvane
and their crowd are not in the band wagon at
all, and cannot get in unless they climb over
the enc. gate, and then they will not be allowed
ia hold the lines. The Topeka State Journal
says:
This is what Senator Burton and his crowd
will have to do if they wish to be with the
Roosevelt crowd in 1904: They will have to
climb over the back end-gate, and will probably
have to hang with their feet out behind. Sen.
ator Long and Gov. Bailey and Cyrus Leland
Morton Albaugh will attend to the driving.
This will be the outcome OF the conference be-
tween General Wood and Cyrus Leland.
