We might have preferred

that he did not speak, that he
could not speak.

have to take the torch that Col

borne. He would have to-
accept an issue that meant its

GRAHAM ASSURED
Of ANOTHER TERM
As SUPERINTENDENT
NO ONE APPEARS TO TAKE THE
EXAMINATION BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE.
WILL Be HIS SIXTH ELECTION
Has Never Had An Opponent Since He
Was First Indicted Into the Office
And Schools Have Had Marvellous
PROGRESS Under Administration

No one having taken the examina-
ton this week for county superinten'
dent of public instruction. John P.
Graham, the incumbent, will have no
opposition for reelection when the
county quarterly court meets in quar-
terly session next January. He will
be elected for the sixth consecutive
term.
Under the law governing the cleo
ton of county superintendent a
committee, consisting of r. N. Moore,
R. l.. Harris and J. |. Finney, was
appointed, to examine applicants for
election to the office. Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday were
set for the examinations, but no one
appearing on those days the commit
tee had nothing to do.
Superintendent Graham has a life
certificate and did not therefore have
to take the examination. He Is the
only person legally qualified in the
county for election and will be the
only one qualified when the court
elects.
Mr.. Graham would probably have
been elected had he had an opponent,
for he is recognized not only in Maury
county but all over the state as one of
the ablest officials in Tennessee, Dur
ing the ten years that he has been
superintendent Of the county the
schools have made marvellous prog
ress, due largely to his efforts.
He was first elected in April, 1907,
to fill vacancy caused by the death
of Superintendent Dodson. He was
reelected in 1909, 1911, 1918 and 1915
and has never had an opponent since
his first election. Since his first cleo
ton the school tax levy has been more
than doubled, the average length Of
the school term doubled and a county
high school established. The standard
of the teaching profession of the coun-
ty has also been raised.
