PROF. CUMMINGS IN THE FIRST

J
Chosen by Non-Partisans With Ev-
cry Show of Enthusiasm.
As was anticipated, Professor Byron
Cummings was nominated without OPP
position for reelection as member of
the board of education from the First
ward by the non-partisan convention,
held at the Second ward meeting house
/ last evening
The only ripple i'm the harmonious
meeting was caused by Clesson 5. Kin
ney, who evidently forgot that the
meeting was a nOn-partisan one. Ar
engagements were being made to APP
/ point ward committee to serve dur
/ ing the campaign. 1t was suggested
/ that one man be appointed from each
voting district to serve on this COM
| littee, when Mr. Kinney, good RepUb-
| lican that he is, arose and said:
we have just passed through one
political campaign, and we were thor
| oughly organized at that time, why
| would il not be advisable to have the
men who served as district chairmen
on the county committee at that time
| act in the same capacity al the school
election? They have had experience
| in such work: they have the lists of
voters from each district. and are i'm a
| better position to serve on such COM
mittee than any one else"
Kinney Squares Himself.
Upon resuming his seat several men
sitting near him reminded him in stage
| whispers that the meeting was nom
partisan. ami he hastily corrected him
| self and withdrew the suggestion,
Some fifty or sixty men and women
attended the convention, and by their
applause showed their approval of the
| choice of the convention in the nominal
ton of Professor Cummings. Julian S.
! Riley served as chairman of the con-
ventiOn and William Langenbacker
acted as secretary.

/ that should be kept out of politics it
was the school system of the city, and
/ for that reason he was i'm favor of d
| nOn-partisan ticket. He said the pres

! public schools was unsurpassed in any

along educational lines of Professor
] Cummings. He added: ITO remove
/ Byron Cummings from office would be
( a real calamity to the city, for as the
| schools of the city advance so will the
city itself progress.
