AS far as surface indications are
everything looks extremely favorable for
the election today Of three republican nom
inees for members Of the Board of Educa-
ton, T. j. Shugart, S. S. Elliott and w.
II. Kinpack. The democratic candidates
are Mat Bartel JULIUS Keppner and Al
phonse Bellinger.
Mr. Bartel had announced Saturday that
ne would not be candidate, but his name
will appear on the ballot today notwith-
standing. The democratic city central com
mittee met yesterday afternoon to con-
slider tho matter of the deolination Of Mr.
Bartel and decided to leave his name on
the ballot This was decided upon as the
members Of the committee thought 1t best
to leave the matter In the hands Of the
voters. II was stated last evening that Mr..
Bartel submitting to the wishes of his
friends, would be willing to serve on the
board II elected.
In addition to electing three members of
the Board Of Education the voters of the
Independent school district Of Council
BLUFFS will be called upon to vote upon
three propositions as follows:
First Proposition-The levying of a tax
Of 1920 for the purchase of the Clausen
provide additional room for the pupils
of the Pierce street school.
Second ProPositlonIIhe levy OF tax
addition to the Thirty-second street school.
Third Proposition-The levy Of tax OF
$4,000 for the purchase Of a site and the
north OF Broadway and between Thirteenth
and Eighteenth streets.
1t is believed that all three propositions
will carry although there is some opposl-
ton to the proposition to purchase the
Clausen property, as residents of the cas-
tern part Of the city appear to favor the
building Of a school east of Oak street for
the children Of that district who now are
compelled to walk long distances to attend
the Pierce street school.
The polls will be open from 9 a. m. to
7 p. m. For the purpose Of the school cleo
ton the Independent school district is Oi-
vided into six districts which practically
