SCHOOL ELECTION TOMORROW.
End OF Livclicst Campaign in History
OF School AtlalrS

Ogden. Dec. l.-Tomorrow is the
school board election. and indications
point to an unusually heavy vote The
campaign fer the present election has
been one of the liveliest in the history
of The city schools. There seems to be
some dissatisfaction among certain
Taxpayers who have attacked every
suggestion made by members OF the
board as well as the nominees of botn
parties. The feeling of discomfort seems
TO be conferred at the board because
they had not deferred the opening Of
the bids for the construction OF the
high school until after the new board
came into Office.
When the property was given to tho
city of Ogden through the board of
education, the donors, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred J Riesel said III their agreement
that the board must start on the new
high school before the first of the year
Another reason why the action of the
board was taken SO soon was that every
member OF the board who has beer
there for four or more years have all
been faithful workers for new high
school and are deserving of the right
to award the bids and see that the new
school building is assured before they
retire from office.
The nominees for tomorrow's election
are:
First Ward-Hyrum Pingree, named
by the Republicans and endorsed ny
the Democrats.
Second Ward-H. Ct. Adams, Repub
lican: w. H. Williams, Democrat.

leans.

publican. H. w. Civilian. Democrat

ent board.

Within few minutes. Undertaken

with his assistant started to take the
