There were in all fifty three direct
ors at the convention and it required
the majority of all those present to
elect.
William r. Robinson of Washing
tonville nominated Charles W. Derr,
the present incumbent of the office, as
County superintendent. Jacob NJ.
Shultz of Cooper township nominated
W. D. Steinbach. j. A. Cromis of
Limestone township nominated Miles
J. Derr
A vica vooe vote was taken when it
was found that O. W. Derr had receiv-
ed 80 votes and W. D. Steinbach, 2l
votes. Mr.. Derr having received the
majority of votes was declared elected
The session was very short one,
the entire proceedings passing off with
out friction of any sort. W. D. Stein
bach, who up to three years ago held
the Office for a number of terms, had
mustered pretty formidable support.
There seems to be general satisfac-
tion, however, over the result. Mr..
Derr is a we'll educated and practical
school man. AS County Superinten-
dent he proved himself industrious, ac-
tive and aggressive and his reelection
is taken as an expression of the gener-
al confidence reposed in him.
