WATER ON BOTH SHOULDERS

We quote the following from the
double column editorial appearing
in the star, Friday evening.
"The exceeding hub-bub was
kicked up by the mistaken politics
of forcing the temperance ques-
ton into the campaign
This is surely an unusual state
ment to be made by paper

other issues. off of the ticket. It Is
rather an unusual and unprec

the candidate of the party poses as
a life long friend of county local
option.

EIGHT CANDIDATES ~
FOR SCHOOL BOARD

This year witnesses in Marion
an unusual condition in the selec-
tion of three new members for the
School Board. For years the board
has been made up of three repub-
licans and three democrats In or
der that this most commendable
arrangement might be continued
the democrats placed in nominal
ton Fred Il. Cutlery and ]. w.
Jacoby and the republicans re-
nominated NJ. b. Dickerson. The
hold overs on the present board
are ii. Il. Hill, republican, w. b.
Spaulding, republican and George
B. Chrictian, Jr., democrat. So
that should CUTLERY. Jacoby. and
Dickerson be elected, the board
would still remain bipartisan.
The last legislature enacted a
law by the terms of which all NOM

board go on a separate ticket with
out any party emblem Further
more. the name of each candidate
will appear at the head Of the
ticket an equal number of times.
On this ticket will be the names
of the eight candidates. In addi-
tion to Cutlery, Jacoby and Dick
erson, will appear the names of B..
IF. Davis, Rev. l.. C. Reed and
Byron Hume. the regular nominees
OF the prohibition party and H. O.
Dunn and John Pickerel. independ-
ent candidates. No mark or emblem
however, will indicate the party, to
which these candidates belong.
The purpose OF this arrangement
Iof the ticket Is to eliminate pofi-
tics from our schools. and with
this purpose we quite agree. The
children OF Marion deserve and
should have the very first consider
alton Of the voters, No standard
! is too hieh for our schools and
The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1907-11-02

no scrutiny of the fitness of these
candidates can be too exacting.
Some of the candidates are well
known to the citizens of Marion,
and some are slightly known. For
the two regular nominees of the
Democratic party it can be said
that not for years have the citi-
zens of Marion had the opportunity
to vote for two men such as
Messrs. Fred r. CUTLERY and j..
w. Jacoby. Both are graduates of
colleges. Both have had expert
ence as teachers. Both are success
full attorneys and business men.
Both have that interest in the
schools which comes from having
children in their homes. And both
have, said that the only considera-
tion that induced them to accept
the nomination from their party
was the desire to see the schools
of Marion brought to the highest
state of efficiency. II is scarcely to
be conceived that the fathers and
mothers of Marion will miss the
opportunity to have two such men
OF culture, ability and experience
on the school board
In speaking thus we do not in
tend in any way to reflect on the
worthiness of any other aspirant.
Mr.. Dickerson has been on the
board for number of years and
his enthusiasm and interest in
school matters are well known. The
Prohibition and Independent school
candidates are personally clean
men. and their high purpose will
not be questioned, but in looking
down the ticket we believe that
the voter viii not fail to note
that in Fred ID. CUTLERY and j..
w. Jacoby are combined about
every quality that goes to the
making of two good school board
members. {

IS HE, OR IS he Nora

During the past day or so. there
has been sent broadcast over the
city a dodger bearing what pur-
ports to be a letter from ga
PATTISON DEMOCRAT This
same article appeared i'm the col:
umns Of the local Foraker organ
over the same signature. The
tactics which have been employed
in this instance show the desperate
ness of the situation, upon the part
of the newspaper which will resort
to the use OF such tactics. The
letter is nothing more or less than
an anonymous letter. The man who
wrote 1t had not the courage to
sign his name to 1t. The letter

the kind OF man who would say

is pretty generally understood who
wrote the letter and signed ga

THAT BUNY FINGER

That II is the intention of the pre-
tender the man who has usurped the
leadership of the republicans In Ma
lrion county, to whip its dissatisfied
members back into line during the
remaining days of the campaign has
been clearly shown. Not only has II
been apparent in the columns of
his paper, but he has made the as
sertion I'm so many words. He has
made his boast, not openly Of course,
that he will have them all whipped
back into line before election day.
In other words he is endeavoring to
draw the party lines very tight. Ev-
'idence of this is found in the attack
which was made upon w. r. Smith
In recent issue of the Foraker
Organ, when an attempt was made
to array the democrats against him,
Iby reciting a whole list of recent
candidates and intimating that he had
not supported him. This is merely
presumption upon his part. 1t re-
minds us very much Of another of
the presumptions Of this man in the
present campaign. Without any foun-
dation whatever, the editor of the
Star made the assertion and reiterated
1t over and over again that Mr..
Smith Is a single tax advocate. His
attention was called to his mistake
and he disregarded the information
and continued making the assertion,
until, Mr.. Smith wrote him letter
making a fiat denial of the charge.
Then Mr.. Harding admitted that he
had no foundation for the claim he
had been making and got out of the
hole by saying that he presumed"
Mr.. Smith was a single tax man be-
cause he supported Tom l.. Johnson
when he ran for governor few
years ago. Being blocked at the
1
game OF fastening single tax to MIR.
Smiths name he began thrashing
about for some other way of casting
suspicion upon him in the eyes OF
the voters, and he hit upon the plan
OF naming number of democrats
whom Mr.. Smith might not have sup
ported. After going through the en-
tire list, by elimination, he clears
Smiths skirts of all save George b.
Christian .Ir. and he asserts that
Smith did not support Mr.. Christian.
He knows because some disgruntled
democrat saw fit to play into his
hands and told him that Smith had
said he did not vote for Christian.
Mr.. Harding's informant Is very
poor authority. Just because he failed
to accomplish just what he sought to
accomplish In the democratic par
lty he turns traitor and
hobnobs with the republicans. We do
not know his identity and really do
mot care to, but this much we do
know that men who think, place no
confidence in the assertions of
traitor. Mr.. Harding mas no conf
dence in the man who told him such
a thing.
But for the sake OF an argument.
we will admit that Mr.. Smith did not
support Mr.. Christian. And since
IMr. Christians campaign has been
drawn into this controversy. 1t would
be interesting to know whether Mr..

TIE PROOF OF TIE PUDDING

There Is an old saying about the
proof of the pudding being the eat
ing. This will apply very well to
the apple deal which the republi-
cans are giving to Mayor Louis
scherr. II any man thinks the
mayor stopped the sale of apples
by two non-residents of the city or
county, let him 90 20 the car in
the Pennsylvania yards and satisfy
himself. Our advertising columns
Yesterday and again today contain
advertisements for the sale OF
these apples, another car of which
have been imported by these men.
This talk about Mayor scherfr

an editorial in the garb of local
news item The Mirror does not
know that Mr.. Dlckerson is pledg-
ed to support Mr., Frank next year
when his term expires. We do not
know that Mr.. Frank will be UP
for reelection. That question
should not enter the school fight.
SO far as Messrs. Cutlery and
Jacoby are concerned we know
that they are unpledged to any
person on the question OF the
superintendency. as they should be,
and have only the advancement
OF our schools in mind. In Justice
to Mr.. Frank it should be- said
that we do not believe that he ia

issue, which is the. selection OF
