Saunders Fowler, Capt. Mark
Coles, Maj. J.H.Ashcraft and
Henry Peter viii Start in
the Morning to Attend Ohio
Valley Improvement Associ-
alton Convention.
THE TENNESSEE CONVENTION

The Paducah delegation TO the
Ohio Valley improvement association
convention at Wheeling will leave on
the 1915 train tomorrow morning for
Cincinnati. where ihey will be joined
by the Cincinnati delegation tomor-
row night, II being arranged that the
two delegations shall make the trip
together. Those who viii go from
Paducah Will be Saunders Fowler. N.
Il. Peter. Major J. II Ashcraft and
Captain Mark Cole.
IL Is expected that the convention
this year will be the most important
IN the history OF the association. as
the prospects are favorable for the
early realization OF the hopes and
plans OF its originalurs. Since the
visit Of President Roosevelt to this
section and his expressed intention of
urging the expenditure OF the govern
ment's money for a nlne-foot stage
from Pittsburg 10 Cairo II Is believed
that the next session OF congress will
do more for the aid Of the movement
than has ever been done before.
There will be no effort made TO
bring the next meeting OF the conven-
ton 10 Paducah. as this city had that
honor a few years ago. and II Is the
intention OF the promoters OF the
movement to meet IN every important
city In the valley that It's interest
may be stimulated
1T would be no trouble 10 bring
the convention here Il We were TO go
after IT," remarked Mr. Henry Peter
this morning The delegates, who
were here. have not forgotten the
welcome that was extended them, and
az each meeting I have attended since
have heard dozens OF them speak
OF their visit to Padncah. saving that
they never will forget the hospitality
shown them"

sOrs.

Warrants of the election Of coun-
cilmen and aldermen and school
trustees have been placed in the
hands of the city clerk and the clerk
Of the school board. Alderman w.
T. Miller and Councilman T. b. Ford,
of the Fifth ward, may qualify at
once and take their seats in the next
meeting, succeeding Alderman Smith
and Councilman Tuttle, appointees of
Mayor Yeiser.
In the school board Trustees-elect'
j. X. Bondurant, of the Second ward.
c. G. Warner. of the Fourth ward,
and Ed Morris, of the Fifth wand,
may take their seats in the next
meeting, succeeding incumbents who
were elected by the board to fill va
cancies.
The accession of Trustee-elect
Bondurant will necessitate the cleo
ton af an ad interim president to
succeed Colonel Potter, although II
is probable that a president pro TEN
will be elected in the December
meeting.
The school board fer the last year
has been a confusionfi as several
members have resigned and the
board has filed their places, two
presidents have served, and some of
these elected to fill vacancies were
left off the tickets this fall. some
were defeated and some elected to
fill long or short terms.
1t is currently rumored that poll
ticians are already at work, trying
to induce trustees-elect to decline to
qualify, by showing them how hard
the work is. frightening them with
talk of disqualiffcations, or invoicing
the power of friendship. The effort
is to be made to get them out of the
way so others, who wish to get on
the board, may be appointed to fiji
The vacancies.
There are a number of professional
school politicians who cannot get
nominations on regular tickets and
are not strong enough tos run indie
pendently. who have been wonder
fully successful in securing their
own election by the board to fill "a
cancies. These men, through their
friends in and out OF the schools. use
every means to get regularly elected
trustees to vacate and then inhu-
ence Is brought to bear on the trus-
tees to elect these men to the vacant
places. In this way in times past,
the whole complexion of the board
has been changed after the election.
