THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

To the Voters Of Kandiyohi County:
Next Tuesday is election day when
every voter should go to the polls and
cast vote for those in their judg.
ment best fitted for the position.
This is not only a privilege but duty
we owe our government as true Ameri-
can citizens. 1t is the ballot that de-
termines our government. We cannot
be too careful in our selection Of offic-
ers, especially that of county super.
intendent of schools where hundreds
OF children look up to as an example.
One should lay aside any prejudice or
personal favoritism and have in mind
only the welfare Of our young boys
and girls, and not the welfare of the
Individual who is seeking office. Bet
ter that one suffers than many.
A man to be eligible to the Office
of county superintendent should have
a good education. Then too, he should
be an honorable and respected citizen
and of Christian character. We can
not emphasize too strongly the i'm
portance of Christian character when
we stop to consider the close relation
between this Office and the hundreds
of young boys and girls. It matters
not whether a man has lived a long
or short time in the county. 1t is
fitness for the position that should
determine It.
am not a politician and never ex-
pect to be, but am interested in get
ting the right man elected, whether
it be for county, state or nation. Any
candidate who tries to find fault with
his opponent and offers it to the pub
lie by publications, to cast a shadow
over him, to belittle him In the eyes
of the voters is not fit to hold any
Office. He is only seeking such an
Office for his own good, without any
thought of the welfare OF the people
concerned.
am not working for either of the
candidates, but am working for the
good of our schools. It Is surely
some wild oats for all of us after
feeding Mr.. Frederickson in Office for
the past twelve years to have him
come out with published statements
attacking the record of his opponent,
and attacking him falsely. Attempt
ing to further his own selfish aims by
tearing down his opponent by resort
ing to dishonorable means to influence
the voters against him. Then too, he
didn't have the nerve to sign those
articles alone but had to rope some
one else in with him. Put it over on
somebody else. This is certainly a
great disappointment to me after cast
my vote for him at past elections.
Then again, in his announcement he

next election. The endorsed cert1h'

have watched Mr.. Ulvin's doings
and conduct ever since he came to
Willmar and l have looked him uT
carefully and find that he Is well ut
ted for the position, and that he car
stand any kind of inspection and In
vestigation. This is also proven II
an article dated at Mankato, Oct. 1;
and signed by w. H. Detamore, nov
county superintendent Of Blue Eartl
county. This article published II
our Willmar papers last week is vel
worth reading, especially so for thos'
who have children. Knowing that on
of our candidates for county super1n
tendent is a gentleman of Christian
character, with the cleanest OF habit
and an enviable business and PROBES
sional record. What better do W
want as a leader for our children an
teachers?
It is not up to Mr.. Frederickso
nor Mr.. Ulvin who the county super
intendent shall be, but up to the vo
ers of Kandiyohi county. Is it nc
time that the people are waking u
to existing conditions when q ma
In Office tries to make the people b.
lieve that he is the one who is bel
fitted for that position and attempt
to blind the people to get their votes
III Come out every man and woms
who can vote on election day and L
us unite and elect Mr.. Ulvin for cou
ty superintendent of schools, ms
whose record and principles are SUI
that we can safely let our childrt
pattern after.
