been feeling well for several days
his condition was not thought to
- critical and his death coming
Suddenly as it did, will be quite a

Engleman came to this city about
fifteen years ago from Louisville
and had been employed at the
National Hotel since that time,
having first worked there when
Harlan Turner ran the hotel.
He was one of the best known
men in Mt. Sterling, was big
/ hearted, polite and courteous to
all, thereby making countless
friends who mourn his loss. Mr..
Engleman was Al years of age.
His brother and sister arrived
here on the noon train Monday
and took his remains to George

to rest.

Resigns as Supt. of

Also MithdrawS From Race for
Reelection to Same Office.

Prof. NJ. j. Goodwin, who for
the past eight years has been
Superintendent Of Schools Of
Montgomery county and who was
candidate for reelection before
the August primary, has rendered
his resignation as Superintendent
and withdraws from the race for
reelection. His card announcing
his action is as follows:
TO MY FRIENDS AND sUPPoRTERs:-
Having been rendered a posi-
ton with more satisfactory
salary and less onerous duties, L
have resigned the Office of County
Superintendent of Schools, and
also withdraw my candidacy for
reelection at the primary, Aug.
2, 1918. l very gratefully thank
all my friends for their loyal in
terest in my candidacy.
Respectfully,
M. j. GOODWIN.
Prot. Goodwin handed his resig-
nation to Judge Mccormick to
take effect September 9Th, and
Miss George Sledd, opponent of
Prof. Goodwin for reelection,
will probably succeed him. The
withdrawal of Mr.. Goodwin leaves
the track clear to Miss Sledd's
election this fall.
The action of Prof. Goodwin
in Withdrawing from the Superin-
tendent's race and resigning that
office is a big surprise to his sup
porters.
He has been elected principal of
the County High School and will
begin his duties September Sth.
This position was held last year
by Prof. Bowlds, who was ex-
pected to return here this fall.

Defines Qualifications of a Legal Uoter.

but after a careful reading of the en-
tire law, have reached the conclu-
sion that it was the intention of the
Legislature to permit only. known
Republicans to participate in the Sc
lection of the Republican nominees
and only known Democrats to par
ticipate in the selection of the Demo-
= cratic nominees. This is certainly
fair and Just to all, as member of
one party should not be allowed to
assist in selecting the nominees of
) the other. Were this not true, in
county where one party has no oppo-
sition, by a concerted action on the
part of an appreciable number of the
members of that party, the weakest
candidates of the opposing party
could be selected and the minority
party might thus be enabled to sue
coed in November, so that if known
Democrat asks for Republican bal
lot he should not receive it. Neither
should known Republican receive a
Democratic ballot.
The members of the County Board
of Election Commissioners have been
congratulated ON all sides for the adj
mirable manner in which they dis
charged their duties, many openly
declaring no better list of officers
was ever selected in Montgomery
county. This, however, Is but the
initial step. In order to demonstrate
that this confidence was not mis-
placed, a clean, legal and orderly
primary must be held and the candi-
dates and voters generally can mate
rally assist in accomplishing this
result.
am sending, at my own expense,
q copy of the State Primary Law to
every officer of election in the hope
that they will acquaint themselves
with its every provision, so that their
duties will be performed in accord
ance with the law, their oaths of Of
fee and their obligations to the
public.
1t is my ambition TO see a clean,
legal and orderly primary held, free
from corruption and irregularities of
every kind. No honest man wants
nomination secured in any other
manner, and l appeal to every officer
of election to lay aside his personal
preferences and to every candidate
and unpurchasable voter to assist the
officers in their efforts to conduct a
primary in which only voters en-
titled to vote shall be allowed to do
so and every vote shall be counted as
cast. Let the nominees be selected
by the people and not as a result Of
chicanery, corruption and fraud.
