To THE VOTERS OF GRANT COUNTY:
At the republican primary election
on June 9 the voters of the party will
have an opportunity of making .
choice from three candidates for the
office of county superintendent of
schools, myself among the number. Il
will be admitted that the office is one
OF special importance, involving
rs 1t does the educational interests
of the young people, and should be
filled by one of age and experience.
and II possible by one who has had
experience and who has come CLOSELY
in touch with the country schools. nv
