School Election

Last Saturday was the last day for
filing nominations for school directors
and it looked in the afternoon as il
the situation would solve itself as on
ly one ticket was in the field, Alfred
Todd for six years and l.. NJ. Mark
ham and Dr. C. S. Wilson for the two
short terms, all others having with
drawn. However, at eleven o'clock
that night Supt Momyer filed a sec
ond ticket containing the names Of
J. E. Rose for the six year term and
Geo. A. Everett for the short term.
The election will therefore be hotly
contested and all the voters will have
an opportunity to express their de-
sires as to the management Of the
schools for the next two years at the
polls next Monday. The polls will be
open from 7 o'clock a. m. TO o'clock
p. m, at the Central school. This is
the time to register your protest if
you have any, and is far better than
knocking on the schools afterwards.
