Contest Between Henry
Fletcher and H. c.
Epley
Virgins Not a Candidate
at This Time---POl-
ling Places

From all appearances there is going
to be a school election next Monday
and it is now practically settled that
there are to be but two candidates, the
present incumbent, Mr.. Fletcher, and
DIR. G. II. Eppley. It has been stated
that Mr.. Virgins would be a candi.
date, but when seen today that gentle.
man said unquali6edly that he would
not be. He said further that he had
heard that a petition had been circU-
lated in his behalf, but that such petit
ton had never been presented TO him,
and that he knew nothing Of the move
ment, and further that il such a petit
tion should be presented to him now he
would not consent to be a candidate.
This leaves the field clear for the two
men named, and there will nc doubt be
a spirited contest, as the embroglio
which has resulted has aroused consids
cradle feeling. The appearance Of a
committee Of South Salem citizens be-
fore the board with protests, and the
fact that such delegation could get 10
satisfaction has aroused the ire Of
scores Of patrons. At that meeting
Mr.. Lee moved that the proceedings Of
the secret meeting be made public, but
he received no second, and, although
the chair was disposed to entertain the
motion, nothing was done.
Since no other satisfaction could be
procured by the delegation from Lin
coin school II is proposed by some that
a mass meeting be held this evening
for the purpose Of entering protests and
submitting the whole matter to the peo'
pie, but IT is not fully known at this
writing whether such meeting will be
held. A report is also current that the
committee proposes to publish a state
ment Of their side Of the case, in which
they win complain that no reasons
whatever could be gotten from the
board for Diminishing three Of the most
popular teachers ever in the schools,
They propose to condemn the manipu'
lation Of matters pertaining TO the dis
trict by Superintendent Traver. Mem
bers Of the committee also demand that
Prof. Traver be elected from the East
school building with his summer school,
as he is using il without the knowledge
or consent Of the board. Many other
matters are talked of, but IL is not
known just what will be done. At all
events the committee and many others
are thoroughly Disguised, and the pub
lie feeling runs strongly in favor Of
putting some new blood into the Salem
board Of education.
1t has been learned later that no
mass meeting will be called.
The election will be held next Mon
day, from . TO 6 o'clock p. my and all
persons can vote who are OF age and
are assessed ON property to the amount
of $1,000 or over. The polling places
will be located as follows;
First ward-At Walkers barn.
Second ward-City hall.
Third ward-Simpson's livery stable.
Fourth ward-Low' s livery stable.
Fifth ward-Wade's cooper shop.
Sixth ward-Car barn on State street
Seventh ward-Jory's fruit drier.
