The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1911-04-27

elected to the school board without OPP
position.
The fight was largely directed against
the local machine which has attempted
to u Vermiilion politically for sew
eral years. and the insurgent element
was victorious. The reelection of
Barton to the school board without
any opposition practically vindicated
that body in its dismissal of Principal
Best, who was summarily discharged
recently with two weeks notice, and
who has since attempted to exercise
the recall on the school board. The
license question was not brought into
vote. Both Kempker and Walker stood
on a platform Of strict enforcement of
the liquor law.
