The two tickets in the Second ward
has a little history behind them,
which is known TO all Of the people
Of GOOdland and will not be reviewed
here, except to say that the contest
between Mr.. Brinker and Mr.. Wiley,
both good men, has its origin not in
the candidates aspiration for place
on the board of education. but ia the
attempt OF Prof. Mallory and his
friends to elect those men on the
school board that would favor Mr..
Mallory for reelection to the prinEi-
palship Of the Sherman county high

sitIon candidate in the Second ward

Brinker in the caucus Mr.. b .er's
friends Immediately placed him ia
nomination by petition, and put Fred
Dawson on as running mate for
council
The contest began by the heavy
registration in that ward and did not
end until the votes were cast Tues
day While there may have been
some personal feeling among a few

NAL Education and politics in the
management and conduct Of the
GOOdland schOOls-in fact in all well
regulated schOOls-dO not mix with
any good result. The members Of the
board Of education have no personal
animosity for Mr.. Mallory, but they
have not at any time and do not now,
believe that teh position which ne fills
is the proper object Of political war
