The district would pay that if it could legally do so out of the school funds. Party chairmen are notified that if they will furnish the school l management with the circulars an nouncing meetings to be held there the children will be appointed a committee on distribution. The republican candi- dates will hold a meeting there tonight and the democrats will infest the dis trict tomorrow night. Arrangements are also being made for a joint state hood meeting at Osborn but the date of it has not yet been fixed.
