DIRECTORS ELECTED.
E.. L. Mcmillan Again Chosen and BENZ.
Soule Succeeds A. w. Wood
cock on School Board.
Annual Report, Read by Secretary
Skahen, Shows an Increase
of Funds in Treasury.

More than the usual interest was
manifested in the annual election Of
independent school district No. 1 on
Saturday evening, which, is testified
to by the vote cast-20l. There was
good representation Of ladies at the
polls, which shows that they take an
interest they should-in school
matters. In the election of 1908 there
were but II voters.
On August l of this year the terms
of two directors expire, viz, E. j..
Mcmillan and A. W. Woodcock, and
on Saturday the people were called
upon to select, for three years each,
their successors. E. L. Mcmillan
was a candidate for reelection and
Benjamin Soule was on the ticket with
him to succeed Mr.. Woodcock. There
was also another ticket presented, the
candidates being Rufus P. Morton of
Brickton and p. J. Wikeen of this
place. Messrs. Mcmillan and Soule
we're elected. The vote was as follows:
Mcmillan, 1875: Soule, 128: Morton,
Y; Wikeen, 81.
While the candidates we're all good
men, fully capable of taking care OF
the districts schools, there is a gen
eral expression of satisfaction at the
result Of the election. Mr.. Mcmillan
has already been tried and found an
excellent official, and Mr.. Soule is a
conservative, capable gentleman who
will make good. Two better directors
could not have been chosen.
The members of Princeton's school
board and their terms of Office are
now as follows: J. J. Skahen, r. D.
Byers, one year; W. 81. Terrell, 81.
81. Farnham, two years: E. L. McMil-
Ian, Benjamin Soule, three years.
On Monday, August 2, the board will
meet, fix the tax levy and elect a
chairman. clerk and treasurer j. j.
Skahen and e. l.. Mcmillan now hold
the two last named Offices and In all
proba bility they will be reelected, for
they have proven themselves to be ex-
cellent officials.

THE PARTY ARGUMENT.

An argument frequently heard ''
this time. against prohibition, II this
thut if the Legislature now adopts
laws closing the saloons, the so-caileu
American party win surely be- con

sumption Is that the saloon interests
win help the Republican party next

The mllacy Of this presentation Of
the case Is apparent ON a. moments zee

tion returns that the saloon, and kim
dred interests, voted the American
ticket last fan and we have no reason
20 believe that they win take DIE
ferent position few months hence
We present. once more the figures:
"In an the outlying districts OF the
City the Republicans made trelnen-
dous gain. but in the uptown districts
the Americans gained over the hepuu-
iicans. For instance the hrst thieo
voting districts in the First precinct
which are farthcst out from town, tha
Americans carried in 1905 by ma
jority OF g. Ina the last election the
Republicans carried them over the
Americans by 2S9 "a net gain for the
Republicans OF 3il votes. Ia the Ihltd

Republicans On 1906 received l,65S votes

Republicans had 26Oi votes and the
Americans t.16i.
"On the other hand. when you tako
the two uptown districts you ind a

ing returns I'm 1906 the Americans
