Three years ago Mr.. AXE wanted
very badly to be reelected. His op.

feated. The next year another mem.

those opposed TO the reelection of the
old member Of the Board, as ez-
pressed by their votes, were 1893; the
next year they were 1886, last year
1853, and this year 355. This shows
indisputably, that those expressing at
the polls their disapproval of the
perpetual continuance in office of the
old board has grown from 1899 three
years ago to 1855 this year, and still
hey do not take the hint.
Some people are unkind enough to

dozen years, and if Improbable, it
should be passed along to let others
do their share. Now as the court
failed to remove them, and as they
won't let go of their own accord, ii |
looks as though they were perpetual
until the population increases.
We have not had time to look over
he annual report that should have

posted until election time. We shall |
do so, and If 1t is an improvement

In conclusion, we want to say that

months; the old m IN er OF the b a d

THE SCHOOL ELECTION AND
ITS RESULTS

Editor Repuollcan: | have Just reaC
an article in the Statesman, entitled
"Vindicatioh of School Board at Elec
tion.' ETC., giving the number OF
votes cast at 803, and stating that
both factions exerted every effort, the
one to vindicate, the other to con-
vlct the present school admins ira
ton, ETC., and, as the Statesman has
a large circulation in this county,
think it advisable to correct what to
me Is an erroneous impression in
tended to be conveyed by the article.
In the first place, a man must be
charged with a crime before he can
be convicted, also before he can be
vindicated, which in this case, was
not true either at the court proceed
ings or the election. The conviction
or vindication theory was purely an
election stunt pulled off by the friends
of Mr.. AXE in the hope of lining up
Aic POI iiiShuo, iCSdiuleSS U
the school interests. Neither was
there any vindication at the trial.
Had the Judge held that their re-
ports were sufficient, they would
have been sustained in their refusal
to make the report called for, but
the Judge said it was not sufficier
and they have since made another
one. The Judge repeatedly STATED
that neither in the written articles nor
the complaint was crime or graft
charged, but rather that the COM
plant was that the reports We're nc
explicit to show how and
where the tax money had been spent.
he did not think the section under
which the action was brought Was in
ended to cover their cases, but
'ather the cases where the plain pro-
vision of the law was violated to
he interest of the party violating
rhe above being the f,cts, no one
las been vindicated, either by the
court, (read the dec.sion) or by the
election.
To play the sympathy act, the
3oard s lawyers at the trial, and the
Board themselves, at the election,
ried to assume that they were
harged with graft, but at the trial,
he Judge would not have it that
way, and at the election the result
vas simply this: Ala people voted
or Mr.. AXE, and 355 for Mr.. Pickrell,
otaling 1863, and not 803 votes, a ;
majority of SO votes for Mr.. AXE. 296
oted against the special tax, and It's
oted for it-majority against the
pecial tax of 121, and it would be
to claim that 296 people
oted against the tax because they s
bought Mr.. AXE would steal 1t or !
ONE part of 1t, and equally SO o
ssume that 175voted for the tax to
xpress their confidence that he would Z
OF steal it. That did not enter into
lie matter, and it is equally as alb c
lrd to attribute the 355 votes cast t
,r Mr.. Plckrell to being cast for him {
ecause they wished TO convict Mr.. a
