TEMPE
THE OTHER SIDE.
A Statement by Some of Those Rep resenting the Goldman Addition
 Faction.

In so much as there appears to be mlsstatements made by some one and
 signed by the directors of the Union high school through their ignorance or by being ill-advised as we under stand the directors of the Union high school have an attorney employed, we think if they had consulted him he would have advised them that it was the duties of the qualified voters of the Union high school district to ad- wise and instruct them where to To- cate the Union high school.
 We believe he would also have ad- vised them that the Tempe district school and the Union high school are two separate organizations governed by separate laws, and that moneys are levied separately for the maintenance of these institutions, and we think that their attorney would have advis- ed them having just tried the Normal Practice school case before Judge Kent, that the courts opinion and his ruling and the law cited in that case was that moneys appropriated for one institution cannot be used for the other
 We think their attorney would fur ther advise them that the Union hibh school mass meeting cannot make contracts for the purchase of land for the Tempe district school, as the law says that at a mass meeting to locate a high school no other busi- ness shall be done, and that a com mittee instructed to take an option upon one and one-half blocks can not take an option on two blocks.
 Why not be fafr2 Why not leave it to the qualified voters of the Un- ion high school district where the school shall be located? Why not de- scribe both locations as they really are and let the voters vote their choice. That is democratic. that is American. The land that is offered by the syndicate for $GO0 an acre is well located; it lays about one thou sand feet west of the normal school and could be made into beautiful grounds. The ground offered by the people of Goldman's addition lays about one thousand feet east of the normal school and can be made equal ly beautiful in every respect. Each tract of ground has a street on the east west and south, exclusive of the

Limited amount of floor space in the present building; it has been given up as impossible to enjoy these advan- tages under the present conditions.
 The high school board proposes to equip both of the above mentioned departments and to put experts in charge of them. For a nominal rental the grammar school can enjoy these advantages, if the high school is placed near the public school site. It will be noted in this connection. that the training school, which accommo- dates only limited number of pu- pills has a well equipped manual training department, and that this school is made up almost exclusively of children residing in Goldman's ad- dition. It is desired to put these ad- vantages in the hands of all and the arrangement recommended by the building committee will do this ad- mirably.
 In our judgment there is no future more important than the unity and cooperation of the public school and the high school and only by this means can it be secured
 To locate the high school in the ex- treme east end of the town over half mile from the public school is to make cooperation impossible and to do an injustice to the educational in terests of the whole community

To the Qualified Electors of the Tenn
 pc Union High School District:
 Whereas there appeared an article printed in a recent edition of this paper purporting to show the advan- tages of one location and the disad- vantages of the other location pro- posed for the site of the Tempe Un- ion high school, and as there were statements made in this article, both incorrect, and misleading; it is the purpose of this article to show the same
 l. It is stated that the location proposed for the site of the Union high school in East Tempe, lies east of Goldman addition in a field fac ing what is known as the Nichols ro:d. Whereas, as every one knows that is familiar with this proposed site, as were the writers of the other article, that this site does not face the Nichols road, but faces the Tempe normal school grounds, also it begins with lots lying in Goldman addition proper which are exactly two blocks esq of the normal school grounds in a direct line with the Girls hall on the normal campus.
 2. The article speaks of the extra expense of ridding the ground of its growth; exactly what is meant by that is not known, as the two pieces of ground are exactly the same in re- spect; both being in alfalfa at the present time.
 3. As to the expense of running city water to either site, the proposed site for the school in East Tempe has the advantage of the proposed on the Syndicate land, form the fact that though the distance from the city water mains to each Is the same, the line of pipe necessary to cover the distance in East Tempe would run down a street builded up with resi- dences, while the pipes necessary to cover the same distance along Mill avenue would pass no buildings at all, and the town would receive no revenue whatever outside of the rem tai from the school.
 4. The size of, the grounds in the proposed East Tempe site is not 300 feet in width by 1400 feet in length, but has a frontage facing the normal school of 400 feet by a length of HOO feet.
 ,. The statement was made also that there were no streets provided for in the site and that the necessay streets would have to come out of the ourchased~ ground; Whereas, the fact Is that never at any time since this site was proposed has there been any question as to the streets as it has been designated in the plot made of he ground and there is no extra cost Or them.
 As the writers of the above men toned article seemed desirous of making it appear that the East Tenn pc location is at great distance rom the town, and the public thor oughfare, it is well to note that it is he quietness of the surroundings of l school that is conductive to its pest interests as is the normal school and not as it would be on he proposed Syndicate site with all he noise of the traffic, and travel dong Mill avenue.

Smith c. Matson. who has the local
campaign in charge, placed his
forces to work and tonight more
than "a thousand voters greeted the
Oklahoma City speaker.
Mr.. Giddings is known in Ard
more. He has addressed the people
here on other occasions and the an
souncement that he would speak
brought out the people. They crowd
ed around the speakers platform un-
I'll It was difficult for those on the
outskirts to hear all that was said.
Mr.. Giddings at once plunged into
the subject of the campaign. Auid
the cheers of the people he COM
pared the platforms of the demo
cratic and republican parties. h,
showed how the party in power had
fostered the trusts and were op-
pressing the people. The injunction
plank was elucidated as no other
speaker has explained II TO the
people. The bank guarantee law was
eulogiZcd.
The criticism of President Ro1se-
welt was couched in language befitting
a law abiding citizen but that criti-
cism came with a convincing force
that elated democrats and unnerved
republicans. The friendship of the
democratic party to labor was dwelt
upon and the tariff that enables la
borers in other countries to buy
American made articles cheaper
abroad than in America was touched
upon and figures were given that
convinced all the speaker knew what
he was talking about.
Following the speech of Mr.. Gid
dings, Stump Ashby entertained the
people with his own peculiar style Of
Oratory He told stories that were
fitting To the occasion and not nils
tener left the crowd until the last
sentences had been uttered.
Mr., Giddings went north last night
and will plunge into the campaign
in Ohio.
