were based upon the vote as given
to US by election officers at the
various precincts of the County.
we believing that the result as
shown by the poll books would be
ratified by the County Executive
Committee.
Our opinion was and is that the
Executive Committee had no legal
right To- sit as judicial tribunal and
examine the ballots themselves.
but only had the right to ratify the
action of the election Judges.
Good lawyers disagree with our
view OF the matter. as they have a
perfect right to do.
The writer stated To Mr.. Griysby
that, bsSing the vote upon the re-
turns of the election Judges. if the

and counterchargeS have been
made.
1t would be better for all parties
concerned if the two leading candi-
dates -MessrS. Grigsby and Rear

differences and go into another
election.
In the interest of harmony in the
party ranks, the COURIER appeals
To these two gentlemen to come to
an agreement for another election,
and not To force this fight into the
Central Committee.
Let the voters of the County
aud District settle it, and then
shake hands at the result-no mat

Gentlemen, place your duty to
the party foremost.

An Apology

In last weeks Courier / had a little
poem entitled Political Poker" based
upon the first count Of the returns from
the late Primary election, but since then
an unfortunate confederation Of unto
ward events has made it possible for our
honorable County Committee 70 render
verdict in opposition to the facts upon
which Political Poker" was based. So.
hereby tender this apology;
Grigsby got the manhood vote:
ReardOn got the clan:
Boyer got the water vote,
And Strudcr also ran

glimpse of these valuable "associa-
tons"
During the forty-seven years Of the
State Teachers organization, there
has not been a program offered that
afforded as many rare treats for
teachers, in the various lines of edu-
cation, as the one prepared for. the
coming association. Special atten-
ton has been given to the needs Of
the rural teacher, and ample pro-
vision has been made to supply them
by way of lectures by leading educa-
tors, general discussions, observa-
ton work, etc.
The cities Of the state are arrang-
ing for their teachers to go on the
same basis that | have suggested for
the rural teachers. Not only are they
permitted to go, but in most instances
they are required to go. II 1t pays
in the city schools. It will pay In the
rural schools. l know Of no reason
why the rural schools are not en-
titled to as progressive q corps OF
teachers as are the city schools. II

Indications lead to the belief that
many teachers are in default in the
matter of keeping Their daily records,
making their monthly reports. etc.
In view Of this seeming delinquency,
1t is recommended that school boards
withhold warrants for any months
salary. until the daily register is
complete to date. and until the re-
quired monthly report be made to
the County Superintendent and the
monthly report grade cards be made
out and distributed to the pupils.
The law and the teachers contract
require this to be done and the
County superIntsndeat insists that
II shall be done.
