RESULT OF ELECTION.

In the national election Tuesday
Wilson and Marshall, the Democratic
candidates were elected by sweeping
popular majority and an electoral vote
of over 400.
The latest unofficial returns indicate
the election of Gov. McGovern by a
close margin, two or three thousand,
but it seems that it will take the otiici-
al count to determine the result.
Wilson carries Wisconsin by at least
10000.

man over Jas. Fl. Davidson by some
1900 majority; p. J. Murphy is elected

SCHOOL BOARD CONVENTION.

SCHOOL BOARD CONVENTION.
The School Board Convention held
last Saturday was the best ever held
in Manitowoc County. About 200
school board members were present
and about thirty teachers. Mr. Lar
sons two talks to the members were
plain, practical and to the point AT
these conventions we have now gotten
through dealing with the small things
and school board members have of
their initiative taken up such prob
lens, as the weakness of our compul-
sary attendance law, the parochial
school question and the necessity of
legally demanding reports from such
schools and also the qualifications.
The matter of County uniformity
of text books was brought up and a
spirited discussion followed. Both
sides of the question wetJ Briefly ex-
planned. BY next year it is hoped that
ali members thoroughly inform them
selves on this question so that if de-
sirahle some action might be taken.
TO hastily fa,l in with any suggestion
on county uniformity without giving
the question more study and thought
would have been mistake. A motion
to have the County superintendent
suggest list of books and submit same
at next annual school board convention
met with opposition and it was finally
left to a committee, including the
county uperintendent, to submit list
of several of the best text books.
The interest taken in the convention
was manifested through the fact that
practically every member remained
until the close of the convention.
The greater part of Mr.. Larson's
talk hinged on the problem of having
the school and parents pull together
and in the same direction. The great
change in the methods of instruction
of to-day was easily understood to be
the need of the more practical and nee
essary things. The child must learn
in scoool something that will help him
earn living.
This statement made by Mr.. Larson
at least three times last Saturday
should be carefully considered; "By
far the greatest amount of trouble in n
school district is caused by misunder-
standing

CITY COuyCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. Rugowski was the
only absentee.
The big sensation promised by one of
the daily papers proved to be resolu-
tion by Schellin alleging that the I'm
ance committee in it's report at the
last preceding meeting had not ans
wercd all the questions propounded by
the council in relation to city funds
used for water works purposes, and
asking Tor some more information.
Plumb, . member of the committee,
wanted any further report to be made
by special committee. Frazier, chair
man of the committe, ironically sug-
gested Schellin for chairman. The
latter started to read written argu-
ment. The mayor tried to stop him
but Plumb asked that he be permitted
to continue and he went on. The only
things Schellin could name as not re-
ported on were the cost of advertising
the bonds and the bank interest lost by
using the sinking fund. An amend
ment to refer the matter to a special
committee was lost and the finance
committee was instructed to report
further. After this bolt was shot the
strained tension apparent in all faded
away.
The mayor reported that the new
water supply secured will forever elm
mate the possibility of needing the
river intake for fire protection.
The engineer was instructed to re-
port on the matter of a heating plant
for the cemetery residence.
The attorney was instructed TO com
pei contractors to remove from the
streets the encumbrances they have
been leaving.
The Board of Public Works was in
finish in hurry on North 10th street.
or finish for him.
The release of the old $1,000 000mort-
gage against the water plant was or
dered recorded.
The paving on York and North 10th
streets was accepted.
The tax for the year was levied. It'll
levies mills for general purposes,
sewer taxes varying from ! mill to 3
mills in different districts and ward
taxes varying from mills TO four
mills.
Pellet and McMullen we're allowed
$3.50 on the bridge repair job they are
doing.
Smugler and the mayor got into
jangle over the manner of the appoint.
ment of the 7th ward election board
last September They talked real
fierce at each other for few minutes,
but it stopped as suddenly as it started.
The mayor left to attend meeting
on the hill. Plumb took the gavel,
and an interesting discussion was had
on the advisability of starting a sink
ing fund for the purchase of motor fire
apparatus. Nearly everyone, including
Chief kratz, took part The chief
favors the purchase. Nothing was
done.

HARDSHIPS or THE DRAFT. The
operations of the draft present some
singular freaks of 'Iuck." AS gen
eral thing it appears to 'run in streaks"
and not to be generally distributed ac-
cording to sjustce and equity. The
following remarkable cases are men
toned as occurring in Mercer county,
Pa,
"Some little neighborhoods escaped
entirely, while others were nearly de-
pleted. Some poor men with large
families drew the unlucky billet, while
their near neighbors, perhaps rich
men, with house full of hardy sons,
all fit for soldiers, entirely escaped
Again, two or three brothers would be
drawn out of the same family. One
poor man, with three sons in the army
had his fourth and only one remaining
drawn. Another case was where the
husbands of four sisters were drawn;
and yetanother where man was forty
five years old the day preceding the
draft and in the brief interval could
get no chance TO claim exemption.
