Arnold G. II. Bode, a member of the
board of trustees of school district NO.
1 and the secretary of that board, has
published the official call for the an
nual meeting of the board, to be keld
at the East Side school house, at 1880
D m. on Monday, May 4, for the pur-
pose of transacting such business as

ing" The meeting will be called to
order by Otto Gramm, the director OF
the board, and the usual routine will
follow the opening exercises. These
will include the reading of the minutes
of the last annual meeting. the reading
of the reports Of the director, the clerk,
the treasurer and the auditing commit
tee, the report of the director embody-
ing the salient features of h annual
report of Superintendent Frank w.
Lee to the board.
Trustees to Be Elected.
Among the duties to be performed
will be that of electing two trustees,
n in place of A, c. Jones, who was
elected in 1905, and one in place of w.
II. Holiday, who was elected at The
annual meeting in May, 1907. Mr.. Hol-
liday is suing Mr.. Bode, who was also
elected at hat time, to determine which
shall be declared elected for the full
three years and which for the n year
remaining of the term of w. H. Frazee,
who was elected with Mr.. Jones and
who resigned when he left the district
preceding the last annual meeting of
the electors of the district.
Tenure Fixed by Vote.
At that meeting a motion was made
and carried that the candidates receiv-
ing the highest number of votes, two
in number, should be declared elected
for the full terms of three years, the
one receiving the fewest number to
be declared elected to the unexpired
Frazee term. Mr.. Gramm and Mr..
Bode received the highest number of
votes, Mr.. Holiday the lowest. The
latter qualified, but has not assumed
any of the duties of the position, pre-
ferring to await the outcome of his suit
in the district court against Mr.. Bode.
Rules Not Changed.
It is not believed that a decision in
the matter will be reached by Judge
Carpenter before the date of the an
nual meeting, ard the board will go
upon the theory that its plans have
not in the least been changed from
former years and its decision in the
short-term matter not in any way alb
rogated.
Woman Mentioned for Place.
1t now seems certain that Mr.. Jones
will be a candidate for reelection and
will possibly have no opposition from
the democrats or anyone else. 1t is
not known that Mr.. Holiday will be a
candidate, nor his position in reference
to the succession. Today it is reported
that the democratic county committee
has taken the matter in hand, and a
woman candidate may be nominated.
Mrs. Corthell has been mentioned in
this connection. The republican com
mittee has said nothing of the school
election, and it is believed nc expires.
sion will come from any member of
that committee, they preferring to have
the determination of candidates made
at the annual meeting, as heretofore.
Urging Non-Acceptance.
In connection with the action of the
democratic committee in the school
election, it is currently reported that
the committee is urging upon Mr.. John
ston of Wheatland and Mr.. Rogers of
Sheridan, democrats, who have been
asked by Governor Brooks to become
members of the board of trustees of
the University of Wyoming, the n to
succeed Miss Knight and the other Mr.,
Aber, both having resigned and their
r~esignatins accepted, that they decline
to serve upon the board. Mr.. Gramm,
the president of the board, has not
heard whether or not either gentleman
intends to accept the appointment.
