Col. Prescott Not a Candidate.

The managing editor of The Chief is
in receipt of the following letter from
Col. Arthur T. Prescott of Baton
Rouge, which is self-explanatory:
BATON RoUeE, La, April II, 1907.
NJ DEAR BENTLEY:
appreciate greatly the editorial in The
Chief of April urging my appointment as state
superintendent of public education, and l en-
dorse fully what you say about nativity as
qualification for the public service. Your COM
mendation is all the more hattering because
you do not base it upon any such ground.
Among the circumstances that will not per-
NIT me to become candidate for this position
is the fact that my colleague, Col. Nicholson, is
being strongly urged to seek the nomination,
and have offered him my cordial support
should he decide to do SO. His long, and dis
tinguished service in the educational upbuild-
ing of Louisiana entities him to position for
which his experience and intimate knowledge
of local conditions qualify him in pre-eminent
degree. l feel sure that his candidacy would
be acceptable to all of his old students as we'll
as to the friends of public education generally.
Thanking, you sincerely for pronouncing me
worthy of leadership in the great cause of
public education in this state, believe me to be
Very cordially your friend.
ARTHUR T. PRESCOTT.
The reason advanced By Col. Pres
colt for declining to be considered a
candidate for state superintendent is
of course defnitive and insuperable|
so far as concerns himself, and under
the circumstances we cannot but re-
gard him as tout of the running so
long as Col. Nicholson Is in it.
1t is a pleasure to say that The
Chief has urged nothing in behalf of
the qualifications and merits of Col.
Prescott or in support Of his appoint
ment as state superintendent of public
education which does not apply with
equal truth and force to Col. j. w.
Nicholson. Let us go further and de-
clare it no reflection upon the con-
spicuous ability and just deserts of the
younger man TO characterize his elder
colleague, Col. Nicholson, as even
better fitted for and more entitled to
the state SUPPLEMENTARY because of
his longer service, greater experience
and-to borrow Col. PrescOtt's own
words his intimate knowledge of
local conditions. We have not the |
data at hand for biographical sketch
of Col. Nicholson, and our recOllec-
ton is even at fault concerning /
whether he was born inside or beyond |
the state lines of Louisiana, but these |
things are fortunately imm aterial as /
applied to such man. His record as
gallant soldier, a patriotic and /
public spirited citizen, a ripe scholar, I
an author and educator, is familiar
as household words to the people Of I
Louisiana. and to none more so than
Gov. Blanchard himself. We do not
believe the governor needs assurance
of the fact that he could make no
selection of successor to Prof. AS
