There Is every reason TO believe
that Martindaleism will receive
death blow at the hands OF the people
next Monday. As the campaign draws
TO close, the opponents OF the ne
farious machine crowd that has dom
mated the school board for years, with
qualifications extending even to the
statehouse in Lansing. express the
fullest confidence that the voters will
put the finishing touches on the good
work started In the primary a month
ago
From the very beginning of the cam
paign The Times has warned the cleo
tors to beware OF the candidates who
call themselves independents. for the
chances are that candidate who re-
fuses to take definite stand on the
Martindale issue will be found later
tied hand aud foot TO the machine.
One OF the so-called independent can
didates. who has declared repeatedly
that he would not pledge himself TO
support either faction, is Albert G..
Kunz, OF the Seventeenth ward. Now
it develops that Arthur Nichols. prin-
cipal OF the Lillibridge school. who
took such an active part in the cam
paign against Inspector Schultz In the
Seventeenth ward two years ago, Is
making house-to-house canvass In
behalf OF KunZ.
This ward, accordingly, will be the
scene OF one OF the bitterest of all the
contests in the coming election Both
sides will put forth their best efforts,
and while the vote will be close, the
"antis" are hopeful OF electing Curtis
c. Bogan who is pledged TO support
their cause.
The Martindale forces are also try
ing hard to avenge the defeat Of In
spectors Kuhn and Hutton at the
primary by electing Walter Gill and j.
Charbonneau. the Democratic candi
dates In the Third and Sixth wards
respectively. The Republican candi-
dates are Eden Small and Frederick
Cowley, both out-and-out anti-machine
men. and they are almost certain OF
election.
That Mr.. Cowley, in the Sixth, has
the support of the best citizenship Of
the ward is evidenced by the follow
Ing circular. which is being distri-
buted to all the voters or that Sec
ton:

schools? DO you want eficient
business management and school
administration In line with the
best modern teaching methods?
Do you want the school authori-
ties 10 devote themselves 70 the
betterment OF the schools instead
or 70 the building up Of a political
machine?
II so, We urge you 10 vote for
Frederick w. Cowley for school In
spector OF the Sixth ward. Mr..
Cowley Is an alumnus or the Cass
school, was an officer In the Mich
igan volunteers at Aguadores and
Santiago, Is a member OF Damas-
Gus Commandery, Knights TEN
plar, King Cyrus Chapter and
Palestine lodge, has six children
and is vitality interested therefore
In the welfare of our schools.
Mr.. Cowley is the Republican
nominee, but was selected with
the help OF all citizens OF the
ward, regardless or party. as
protest against political manipu-
lation OF the public school sys-
tenn. He should be supported by
all who have the welfare OF the
public schools at heart. whatever
their political allegiance.
Mr.. Cowley's platform is brief,
direct, and straightforward
He believes in the betterment
of the schools in all modern
methods that are supported by
the best teaching thought and
authority.
He is in favor of more and bet
ter work in the grammar schools
for the eighty per cent OF the
children therein who are pTepar-
ing for business or Industrial life
instead of academic or university
careers.
He believes in business princi-
Piles, business efficiency, and bust
ness management applied to the
school administration as opposed
10 manipulation by political
board.
He favors a new superinten-
dent OF schools, believing that
the present official gives too much
time To the construction OF q po-
litical machine. He has In mind
no choice OF a successor and so
will be open-minded in the selec-
ton OF the very best and most eff
ficient man for the place.
He favors the selection OF
teachers OH merit and not be-
cause OF political preference or
influence.
The election is Monday, April 3.
from a. III. TO p. IN. Be sure
to go TO the polls and get your
friends TO go, for the good OF
the public schools.
Again urging your support for

their great struggle against thu

Itional organization of employers
that has declared for the utter ex-
tinction of trade unions.
On one side will be massed
500, 100000 capital and the
other 100000 men ultimately. 1t
will be a fight to the finish, as the
marine workers know that If they
lose their conditions will be little
better than that of slaves, while
the shipowners believe If they
lose the men will follow up the
advantages gained by demanding
conditions that will prove burden
some financially.
The international strike is due
to the fact that the ship and dock
owners in the various countries
have been for several years or
