.Clamor For Harmony;
Prepare For Hot Fight
Two Full Tickets Announced for Vacancies Board
< Directors to Be Filled at Coming School Electon
IS Best Interest of Schools and Cy Are the
Campaign Slogans of Both.

With harmony as the keynote OF
each, aud with both sides prepar-
ing for fight, two full tickets are
in the field for the three vacancies
to be filled on the board of directors
of the independent school district
of Virginia at the annual school
election Saturday of next week.
Six candidates are already an
nounced for the vacancies on the
board and it is by no means uncer-
tain that others will not be in the
field before the day of election.
Opinions as to the outcome vary.
1t il freely predicted that one of the
largest votes ever cast at a school
election in the city will be polled
and just as literally asserted that
the election will be comparatively
speaking a tame affair.
However, the campaign is opened,
and for the candidates endorsed at
a citizens meeting Thursday night
and again at meeting of the Pro-
gressive league held at the city hall
Wednesday evening, campaign
committee covering every ward in
the city is already active. The cam
paign committee will hold another
meeting Friday evening of next
week to outline plans for election
day. The candidates endorsed by
the citizens meeting aud at the
Progressive league meeting Wed
nesday evening, which was attend
ed by about 25, are r. J.McGhee and
W. T. Irwin for the long terms and
Carl r. Johnson for the unexpired
term of Director Hendricks, resign
ed, to which A. B. Holley wac ap-
pointed by the board. Mr.. McGhee
is the present chairman of the
board. Mr.. Irwin is manager of the
Elmwood Farm dairy and Mr.. John
son is we'll known local business
man.
Three othercandidates announced
are Edward c. A. Johnson for the
short term and A. &. HOlly and
James manoneyt for the long ,tey,,,s.
Mr.. Johnson is the he'proprietorot-ti OF -ti,e'

locally. james Mahoney is employ
ed at the Norman mine, has been a
resident of Virginia for 20 years
and was educated in the schools of
this city. A. b. Holly is connected
with the Interstate Iron company.
He is a mechanical engineer, espeC.
tally well fitted for the position.
and his friends will make a hard
campaign in his behalf.
Both tickets have adopted the
best interests of the schools as
their slogan. Past differences IN
school affairs are said to have been
forgotten and both tickets will seek
election on a declaration of princi
Piles substantially to the effect that
the new head of the schools is not
to be hampered in his adminietra-
tion of school affairs and that the

EYELETH AUTO
OWNER LICENSED
Attorneys Boyle and Mcmahon
Make Prosaic Subject Co.
casi0n for Human In
terest Speeches.

Senator Boyle of Eveleth, and At
torney M. H. Mcmahon of Virginia.
appearing before the city council
Tuesday evening in the interests of
William Murray of Eveleth, and the
licensed automombile owners of Vir-
ginia, respectively, made the grant
ing of license to Mr.. Murray the
subject OF we'll delivered human m IN
terest and brotherly love speeches.
While none of the members of the
council were moved to tears they gave
close attention to the debate which
was highly interesting and voted to
grant Murray the desired license. The
precedent is established that non-resi-
dents may secure license to operate
automobiles for hire in Virginia and
that the cities of Virginia and Eve
ieth should love one another in all
matters both great and small whether
they do or not.
Murray has made two applications
to the council for an auto license.
Both were refused. A third bearing
the names of J. Mesberg and C. w.
Miller as references was before the
council Tuesday night in the regular
form following the provisions of the
ordinance.
Senator Boyle told the council that
the denying of Murray's auto license
by the Virginia council has given Eve
leth one of the first thrills it had ex-
perlenced in many day. He didn't
want to see the town of Eveleth and
the metropolis of the range" set by
the ears over mere bagatelle like
the granting of an auto license. He
believes the council might just as we'll
attempt to pass an ordinance pro-
hibiting Attorney Mcmahon from 20
ing to Eveleth to practice law as to
pass one prohibiting any citizen of
Eveleth from doing legitimate busi-
ness in Virginia. "This attitude is
wrong," said Mr.. Boyle. ut does not
become the great city of Virginia,
the metropolis of the range, which is
just now being benefited by the
friendly interest of it's neighbors. II
this spirit is to be continued let us
build gates and bars and compass us
about with strong places instead of
being as we always have been and
always should be one big range
family"
Attorney Mcmahon took dipnified
and dispassionate issue with Mr.,
Boyle, appearing for local machine
owners, who oppose the granting OF
auto licenses to rank outsiders. He
said he believed in measures for the
protection Of Virginia people in any
line of business, while he had well
confirmed suspicion that the mem.
bers Of the council did not. He call.
ed attention to the fact that the vii.
lages of Chisholm, Hibbing and Buh]
had ordinances similar to that in Vir.
g'nia and that they were being rigid.
ly lived up to. He did not believe
that men who made investments hert
and spent their earnings here shou]l
be placed in competition with ranl
outsiders in any line. He believed
the ordinance was good and that thu
council should live up to it. A mo-
tion to grant Murray's license wa.
passed by vote Of: to3.

The six companies of Connecticut Coast artillery in camp at Fort H. iT. Wright shivered in the cold Tuesday and Wednesday nights under canvas The wind that swept over Block Islani sound penetrated tents and did not warm up before it struck through the heavy army blankets. The greeting Wednesday morning. exchanged be- tween tentInates, was "A ton of coal, please" N
 Aside from being shivery, the euardsmen are getting along well io camp and Wednesdays warm sun set them to taking hold of the tasks cut out for them. They started on the bis gun drills, all of the details going to the batteries early. The sub callore practice will come on Friday and Sat urday and firing of service changes will be early next week.
 Col Henry S. Dorsey of New Lon don. commanding the camp. said We'd nesday that the reluctance with which employers allowed their men to go to a camp was threatening the success or the tour of duty. Many men have been unable to get off and the numerical strength of companies in camp has been reduced to a point where 1t has been necessary to ''borrow' men from

 The matter of a camp guard has been dealt with this year by Colonel Dorsey with the idea of having an effective guard without overburdening che men. Only a small guard is post ed and the men walk posts only at night. Capt. David Conner was oftlce.' of the day on Tuesday. Capt William G. Tarbox of Norwich was named for Wednesday.
 The first day in camp was spent in drawing rations. pitching tents and making quarters comfortable The schedule of drills and study is ar ranged so that the enlisted men get a good deal of time for recreation.
