STUDENTS Plan
DEMONSTRATION
Trouble Over Fargo School
Faculty Nay Cause Serious
Trouble at Opening

Fargo. NJ Ds, sAngs.F14.--As a result
of the bitter articles in a local morn
ing paper on Superintendent Hoover
of the city schools over the resigna-
ton Of Principal Robinson of the
High school. it is reported that stud
ents are planning a demonstration OF
some nature when the term opens
next month. Steps are being taken
by the parents to prevent this. ..u
When the old board announced
that Superintendent Hoover would
not, be retained and q new man was
elected. the latter resigned. The
friends of Hoover made such a fight
the board concluded to await the re-
suit Of the spring election. That was
a complete %vindication for Hoover
and the anti-Hoover hold-over mem
bers Of the board resigned, leaving
the Hoover forces in complete on
troll.
At the time Of the fight against
hoover Principal Robinson took an
active part against Hoover. In a con-
ference between Hoover and Robin
son it was agreed that both men
could not remain in their positions
M it was generally understood that
il Hoover won Robinson would re.
sign. After the school term a new
man was selected and the night Of
his election Robinson rendered the
resignation that had been expected
ever since Hoover won. .
There have been charges made
against Hoover that he forced the
resignation Of Robinson, but his
friends assert it was understood that
Robinson was to quit and that it
would have been impossible to have
had successful work in the city
schools with the superintendent and
the principal Of the High school SO
utterly at variance as Hoover and
Robinson.

Fargo. N. D., Aug. 1.-THE return
Of Chairman Macarthur OF the state
democratic GENITAL committee from
a two months stay In Washington,
where he has been on federal pat.
ronage matters, has caused a revival
of the local agitation over the at
tempt to remove II. G. Plumley from
the postoftice. on the grounds of per
nicious activity and because Of edi-
torials three and five years old in a
paper OF which he was formerly bust
ness manager. Plumley still has two
years Of his term to serve. 1t Is
stated that no charges of any nature
other than political activity have
heen made, that his record in all 9th,
er respects is absolutely clear.
Through the failure of the paper with
which he was connected Plunley suf-
fered heavy financial losses and as
public sympathy is strongly with him
the fight to GUST him from Office with
out any charges Of inetficiency in the
postal service is regarded by many
of the leading local democrats as a
political mistake on the part Of those
anxious to secure the appointment.
From his long newspaper experience
and his prominence as a 33d degree
Mason, Plumley has a wide acquaint-
ance not only in the state, but all
over the northwest. He is president
of the Tri-State Postmasters' associ'
