eminent leaders of our party in state

the decisions of our presently consti-
tuted supreme court.
We heartily commend the present
administration of the affairs of our
state in every department of admin

and commend each present state Of
fetal to denomination as to each
elective office. with special mention
that Mrs. Katherine Nj. Cook be re-
nominated for superintendent of
public instruction because we locally
observe her efficient service in that
Office generally, but particularly in
the field where such service is most
needed-the rural and village
schools.
The delegates from this conyen-

quired to vote for and use every
proper effort to renominate Hon
