Nichols OF the Lillibridge school. re-
ferring to the fight for the Republi-
can nomination for school inspector
In the Seventeenth ward" What 10
the use OF having school inspector
who, when we want something, isn't
able to get US nothin'?"
Nichols is one school principal who
is not ashamed to say that he is TAX
ing hand in the school board fight
He Is out for Edward s. Piggins, who
opposes Schultz, the present anti-Mar-
tindale inspector from the ward, for
the nomination.
This is a new district and we need
things" says Nichols. The other
schools in the ward have everything,
but we. out here, need a lot OF things.
When / went to Schultz for an addi-
ton ana for manual training, he told
me he couldn't get tooth-pick. What
is the use of having an inspector like
that? He is just carrying out Dr. Ben
nett's fight, but that does not help
| the ward any.
II am fighting for the interest OF the
| 504 children in this school. When |
came out here, this was a four-room
school Now he have IA rooms. do
everything | can for the children. Al
80 | am here to open the doors so
that those who come from Conner
Creek can get In. | stay here till late
| In the afternoon and l have built up
the school in every way could Now
want 10 see a school inspector who
can 20 to the board and get things.
IF as Schultz and Goldberg and
Burton say. they are the only honest
|
crooks and thieves, as they have said
isn't IL a shame TO send these three
honest men back where their morals
might be spoiled? A man can vote as
he thinks right without making lot OF
noise and charges.
IF Nichols is to be made an issue
! then | will get out and personally visit
the parents OF every child in TINS
school Schultz is good fellow, but
so is Piggins. and Piggins can get
something for us out here. There Will
no roo votes for him in this district
goldberg Is going to be skinned In
the Twelfth ward, too. Bush Will beat
him.
