Joe TO the Teachers.
They're trying to charge the teach
ers with that $4,000" Joe said in that
plaintive manner he has when address
ing jury in behalf of the defence in
criminal case. Its not fair. It's not
right. They ought to be careful about
making those charges" (Joe was sure
making good. Stealing some of Tur
ney's thunder in the form of an awful
charge that the opposition was in a deep
dyed plot to wipe the schools from the
face of the earth. Nealon in his Nealon-
esque style, talked a. length. mostly at

Joe Charges the Reporters.
Withdrawing his fire for a moment

fire on a pair of innocent reporters who
were lowering in the borderland or
outer darkness in the wings earning
their daily stipend.

for manual training or would you not
have done it?" he Numbered.

the most interesting bit OF news that
broke at the meeting. for no one sup
posed for a minute that anyone on the
platform had even fostered such an idea
but Joe has evidently made up his
mind to do so
Have they any experience in con-
Quoting schools?''
1t suddenly occurred to the bow
orator that two of the three men on
the ring" ticket had had no experience.
He srasped at John Harper as the
drowning mans straw. Harper has had
experience in school board matters. AS
for the others. they have had as much
experience as the OPPOSITION" which
