= The Bruneau Nugget has this to
say of the campaign carried on here
last week for the retention OF the
school super ntendent:
Super ntendent Sparks of the Noun
tain Home public schools was re-elect
ed to that position last Saturday.
This action was a response to the
demand of fully ninety eight Der cent
OF the school patrons, whose wishes
were laid before the board of trustees
In the form of a pet ion with nearly
half a thousand determined looking
signatures standing out boldly. The
reelected superintendent is not what
one would call the alpha and omega
OF pulchritude-much because of his
lace; still, so we learn, the young
lady students are credited with a tri-
umphant issue to campaign whose
object is attained In Sparks re-em-
ployment in the face of q powful mi
nority opposition. And the fact that
Sparks knew nothing OF the work In
his interest until retreat was cut off
added zest and humor to the situa-
tion, too. Besides, he had another
and some bigger job at st. Anthony,
which he thus puts from him In Or
der to remain where his ability and
personality appear to have found
their true expression.

Whereas, 1t appears especially tit.
Ting that upon this year OF all years

tions should be held upon that day.
and.
Whereas, The use OF firearms and
other explosive materials commonly
used In Fourth of July celebrations
might be made the excuse or pre-
text OF nufriendly persons to have
dangerous matter In their possession
and .tford an opportunity for its use,
in case opportunity tor such use
should be sought for the destruction
OF life and property in this state.
Now, Therefore, l, M. Alexander,
Governor OF the State of Idaho, do
call upon all citizens everywhere with
in the State to gather together In
