1T seems to me this is the time to
avoid that and this body of men can
control enough votes to assure the
election of these candidates.
The Candidates.
Tonight is the first time l ever knew
for certain who Julius Krakauer was;
he has lived in our city since a boy.
had been reared here and is well known
as a prominent young business man.
Il have known Mr.. McBrooIn ever
since he came here from Indiana in i'll
health and among the lawyers he is
one who won't be run over in court
and don't believe he will on the school
board.
1T is not necessary for me to say
who Dr. Stevenson is He was born
here or came here when a very small
boy and was one of the first gradu-
ates of the old high school and stands
high in his profession.
Il think the schools are an index TO
the whole city and when this was
wide open town I could tell people we
had the best schools west of the ALLIE
ghany mountains.
Referring to young men serving on
the school board. I think it good
thing and they will be better after they
have served two or three years. for
they will improve with experience
gained; then they should be kept on
the board until death or removed for
misconduct"
Rev R. T. Hanks and Rev. Henry
Easter were also called upon for
speeches and both made addresses
+ Rev Mr.. Hanks stated that "the trust
in ha ID
in FL Paso is the most sacred of civic
affairs. and I endorse all the state
ments that have been made at this
meeting. If the schools are run in the
interest Of the teachers. rather than
against the children, 1t Is crime
against the children. If the school
board is in politics. as has been
charged, the condition should be cor
rected- If we all work we can elect
business men for school trustees
Rev. Henry Easter. in his speech an
nounced: Il came TO this meeting to
endorse the move TO lift the school
board out of politics I am not repre-
senting any set of business men and
cannot see why opposition to the citi-
zens ticket. comprised of business men,
should have arisen
The Closing Talk.
Following the speech of Rev Henry
Easter, judge Goggin said: I'VE shall
be glad to hear from anyone, but il
none desire to speak. I shall entertain
a motion TO adjourn. However. if I may
impose upon your good nature for an
other moment (here there was chorus
of go ahead. go aheadrO I will say
just few words. These schools are
our schools; they are the schools Of
every man, woman and child in FL
Paso.
There are some of Us to whom these
schools would not make any direct
difference in a pecuniary way. for soTae
would be able to send their children 10
private schools, but 100 percent could
not.
1T is not the lawyers and profess
sional men alone. who are interested
for no man is more vitality interested
than the mechanics. the workingmen.
the Iaborers Every man, woman and
child is interested You have. the right
and you should exercise that right as
to VINO should direct those schools and
prepare for coming generations.
For they are yours, lawyer, me-
chanic, everyone Of you. no matter
what your position. your creed or your
political faith, they are yours"
