.PELTIER SAYS
He WILL STICK
Writes a Letter In Which He Asks,
What Is a Regular
Candidate?
WANTS OPPONEHTs TO SPEAK

Richard A. Peltier, who is after
the republican nomination for sheriff,
denies, today, the report that he has
been pulled OUT of the race. He
says he is in the contest to the finish.
Peltier also has something interest
ing to say about the so-called reg
ular" candidate. AS the law pro-
vides that any person wishing to
stand for the nomination for sheriff
shall file his petition, duly signed.
with the county clerk he shall have
his name placed upon the regular
party ticket at the primaries, 1t is not
plain to the ordinary voter how one
man shall be more regular than any
of the others, as long as all are party
men and have complied with the law.
Peltier's letter is as follows:
Editor Evening News:
It has been rumored around our
county, that l have been pulled out

lican ticket, for a consideration. /

also see by the papers that Mr..
Pfeiffer denies the report that he has
been pulled out, and says he is still
in and has the support of the regu-
lar republican organization. l would
like to ask Mr. Pfeiffer who the reg
ular organization is, and OF whom it
consists? He cannot mean the coun-
ty committee, for they have not had
any meeting since he filed his petit
tion and announced that he had the

his friend, Billy, is successful? Mr.
Pfeiffer cannot mean that the above
gentlemen constitute the regular re-
publican organization have heard
them classed as the machine. and the
big chief as boss.
However, why does not Mr.. Pfeif-
fer, and all the rest OF the would-be
candidates for sheriff, come out fair
and square before the people Of this
county and say what they stand for

people of this county. OF will be con-

SCHOOL NOTES.

The High Room has five new pupils.
Rachel Kerry is new pupil of the
third grade room.
Everyone should hear the Imperson-
ator Saturday night.
Roy Sweet is absent from the fourth
grade on account of sickness.
The second year German class is be-
ginning German composition.
Black Beauty, always a favorite, is
being read to the fourth grade.
The composition class is handing in
digests on what they have read.
Roy Moore has been absent part of
this week entertaining the grippe.
Macbeth is dying, and the English
Literature class hope to bury him next
week.
Pearl Ludington, fifth grade pupil,
has returned to school after a prolong-
ed absence.
The first grade reports all pupils
present now, including those absent
before the holidays.
Three new pupils, Flossie johnson,
Harry Collins and John Lince, have
entered the fourth grade.
After nearly months absence from
the seventh grade, Ethel Cooper has
resumed her school work.
Miss Davidson is satisfying her pu-
pills love for fairy tales by reading the
"Once Upon Time" stories.
The High School basket ball teams
are diligently preparing to "clean up
everything in sight, as their song says.
Everything shines since vacation,
from the floors and woodwork of the
schoolrooms to the cheerful faces of
the pupils.
Mr.. Eldredge, the second number on
the High school Lecture Course, will
be here Saturday night. No one should
miss hearing him. 1t will do you
good.
The school enjoyed brief addition
to vacation Monday morning, owing
to the packing of the steam pipes blow
ing out, but by about ten o'clock, every
thing was in working order again.
There has been more hardness than
usual this week and the teachers are
wondering If parents are as careful as
they ought to be, to see to it that each
student has a chance to get to school
on time. We venture to say that stu
dents who fail to get to school at nine
o'clock, could get to their work in a
factory at seven O'clock without any
trouble. School work is worth much
more to each, and habits of prompt
ness should be formed in school that
will be of great value in. later life.
Let's make it three minutes before the
bell rather than seven after.

Do you know that it is an expensive
luxury to run local paper unless its
readers see to it that their subscription
is paid at least once year? A local
paper does more to build up town,
stimulate enterprise and assist the bus
mess circle than it is given credit for.
1t finds its way into every home, is
read by every member of the family
who can read and costs so little that its
subscription price is often neglected.
How is yours? AS an advertising me-
dunn it excels all others, as wise peo-
pie read their home paper, while they
often pass by posters or throw cheap
letters in the stove.
