Election of School Commissioners the
Most important Function of the
Coming City Election.
ALL THE PEOPLE INTERESTED,
Republican Candidates for the Offices are
ested In the Schools,

The contest for the election OF new
set of school commissioners in the diff
ferent wards of the city on next Tues
day is attracting more attention than
any other function of the city election,
and men and women alike are await
ing eagerly the outcome. The present
Board Of Education is not all that
could be desired and as 1t is certain
that changes will be made the people
interested in the welfare of the schools
are anxious that these changes result
in the best men in the city being given
a seat in the Board.
Important school matters will come
before the Board during the coming
year and it is necessary that the men
elected be men who will take an active
and vital interest in these affairs. No
more drones are wanted on the School
Board. These men annually expend
more than fifty thousand dollars of the
peoples money and they should be tax
payers who will take some close view
of the manner in which this large sum
is expended.
The Republican candidates for
school commissioner are worthy of the
careful consideration of the voters of
the city. In almost every case the
men nominated are men who have
taken great interest in school work
and who, if elected, will give up their
time and energy to the promotion of
the welfare of these institutions.
In the First ward E. H. Ho11ister, a
we'll known business man, has been

schools is an unselfish one and he can
be depended on to act for the best in
terests of the whole city.
| That old war horse John T. Yule has
been named in the Second ward. He
has held many Offices in Keuosha and
any citizen can point to his record
with pride. Strictly honest, conserva-
tive, with no enemies to punish and no
friends to reward, he will make a sp1en
did school commissioner. It is prob
able that he will get almost the unan-
imous vote of the ward.
Walter ]. Frost, general manager of
the Frost Manufacturing company, is
the candidate in the Third ward. He
is hustler among the young business
