EFFICIENCY IS THE REAL ISSUE
Henry Iinke Makes Plea for Election
on I hat Basis

( The law fixes the qualifications that
one must possess in order to be eligible
/ TO the Office of superintendent of
schools and none can have their name
placed upon the ballot unless these
have been fulfilled The question of
efficiency in Cffice, then, becomes the
one for the voter to determine. Ihold
the long distance record as teacher in
this village, having taught ten con-
secutive years in Hnlsboro, and since
that time up to the present school
year | have been a member of the
school board | held the Office of SUI
pervisor of assessment seven years.
aud was chosen by the state tax com
mission as one of five to address my
fellow supervisors on taxation at Madi-
son. | held the Office of town and viii
lage clerk many consecutive years:
and | was president of the village
three terms. These repeated iDdorse-
meuts, while not having any direct
bearing upon the superintendency, spell
this one word-efliciency- and your
conclusion, no doubt, win be that
am likely TO carry that same degree
of efficiency to the Office Of superin-
tendent IL electcd, that mas character
lied my incumbency as official and
teacher.
The fact that one is a good fellow
is of certain nationality, or resides
in particular section of the county
should not Toe considered factors if not
backed by ability. The following are
a few press comments of four years
ago:
BY an announcement published else
where in this Argus, readers viii be
appraised of the fact that Henry Linke,
a well known resident of Hillsboro,
will be a candidate for superintend-
ent OF schools in Vernon county at
the coming spring election. Mr.. Linke
made de ana favorable acquaint-
ance throughout the county during
his incumbeEcy of tine Office Of super
visor of assessments and will doubtless
make a strong cand date for the super
intendencY, Ii is only fair to say at
this time that Mr.. Luke has all the
qualifications necessary TO make a
good school superintendent and from
the writer's personal acquaintance
with the man and his official work,
that be would take good care cf the
duties of the Office is not to be ques-
toned. Mr.. Liuke is self-made man
and all energy, thru and thru.-De Soto
Argus.
Henry Linke Of Hillsboro, has an
nounced himself as a non-partisan
candidate for the Office OF superintend-
ent of schools for Vernon county.
Mr.. Liuke was for several years super
visor of assessment for Vernon county
which position he filed With credit to
himself and the county and because
of this fact he enjoys large acquaint-
ance throughout the county. If elect
ed there is no question hat what he
would be an efficient official. His an
nouncement will be found in another
column of this paper.-La Fargo En-
terprise
In another column will be found the
announcement of Henry I4iuke of this
village who announces his candidacy
for the Office of superintendent of
schools for Vernon county. MIR. Luke
is abundantly qualified for the office,
aud his many Yeas of school work, as
teacher, makes hun thoroughly con-
yeFsant with ali classes OF school work.
AT this writing Mr. Linke is the only
candidate in the field. Mr.. Gardner,
the present incumbent, who has held
the Office for years, has not announced
whether he viii be candidate or not

schools when You vote for efficiency.
Yours truly, HENRY LINkE.
