Says "Holm is the Man."

Editor World:
Regarding the candidacy of R. F.
Holm for school director, | have a
few thoughts to present to the voters
by your courtesy. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Holm has been a candidate
for this Office for some time, and
while his friends have no personal OBJ
lection to the other candidates they
are still convinced that he is the best
man for the office. He has been will
ing to withdraw from the field for
reasons of friendship for the others
seeking the office, and he never has
sought or wanted the position, but for
the sake of the best interests of the
schools his many friends have pre-
veiled upon him to remain in tue
race.
The eminent fitness of Mr.. Holm
for the responsibilities of this office
is beyond question. He is a cool
headed and careful business man Of
demonstrated ability, an old resident
Of the district and a patron of the
schools; he is an educated man and
has devoted the most of his life to
public school work, having been
county school superintendent and a
teacher in Oregon for several years.
Mr.. Holm's friends and supporters
are among the most conservative peo-
pie who want nothing but the best
in the way of public schools for We
natchee. He has no connection with
any faction, society or church. The
one thing that he will keep in view
IS to make Wenatchee schools the
best in the country, without regard to
any personal considerations or fac
tional Quarrels. This is not a time
for the voters to be carried away by
excitement; sober regard for the
welfare of an impo: tant public insti-
tuition should be the guiding motive
il casting votes in this election. All
strife and quarrels should be put
aside in so serious a matter and NJ.
Holm stands for conserva ism and
god schools-noth'ng else.

wv. D. Van Slyke, postmaster and
sued by John A. Voyle, hotelkeeper
of the same place for the sum of
$4,000 for malicious prosecution,
says the Wilson Greek World.
1t seems that last fall Mr.. Voyle
thought the storekeeper was over
charging him for some of the sup
plies used in his hotel and he went
to Wenatchee and bought some of
the goods which he had been in the
habit of getting through the local
store. This led to hard feeling be-
tween the two men, but did not re-
suit in an open rupture. Along in
November, 1907, the hotel man sold
two boxes of apples to a neighbor
and the grocery mann took exception
to it. While on the grocery later
Mr.. Van Slyke upbraided Voyles
about doing a mercantile business
and the argument became heated
Later Van Slyke went to the hotel
and demanded payment of his bill
against Voyles, which was paid and
the quarrel resumed. There were
isticuffs and Van Slyke is said to
have been hard to catch

The moving pictures at the theater
this week are very good. The sub

him saved at the eleventh hour by
his little children, who secure Il par

that they were the best body of
