\ short time ago two Of the St
Louis teachers. Miss Iva Talon and
Mrs frankie Downs, handed in their
designations to the board Of educa-
tion. However, at the last meeting
of the board the designations were re-
jected on the grounds that a teachers s
school year was just as binding as
any other form of contract The
school board also brought up the fact
that these contracts were made AT the
beginning OF the school year in order
that the board may have an estimate
Of the expense that will be required
for salaries for the ensuing year and
will have teachers engaged for the
entire year that they can depend up
on. Ii guarantees a stipulated income
to the teacher for the whole school
year For these reasons the school
board felt justified in rejecting resig-
nations that were not backed by rea-

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-11-04

TOMORROW will be held the General Election
which time there will be decided by the voters of
this State several important issues. One of these
issues is Statewide Prohibition which hope will receive
an overwhelming majority in this County,
Another issue which the voters of Polk County will
be called upon decide is whether or not our County
shall continue to maintain its reputation before the world
for clean and honest politics.
The voters of this County, tomorrow will elect as
County Commissioner either John S. Howard or my
brother, S. c. Sloan.
Judge John S. Edwards, after thorough considera-
ton of the evidence submitted to him, decided that S. c.
Sloan was the Democratic nominees that in two of How
ards precincts thryfour voters cast their ballots the
recent Democratic Primary who registered Dem
and that my brother is lawfully entitled the nom
nation.
If Howard is elected County Commissions, it means
that the right of the Democratic party any other party
in this State to select its own candidates and determine
its own policy is nufed and destroyed such decision
would lay party open to indscriminate fraud and
brided disruption.
This is not factiona fight. My brother is not a
member of any faction clique He stands for square
and honest government and above ALL clean and honest
politics. trust and believe that tomorrow the voters will
almost unanimously uphold the decision of our Circuit
Judge. John S. Edwards and make hereafter forever
impossible for disqualified voters to attempt dominate
and dictate the policies and name the candidates of the
Democratic party.
Respectfully, D. II. SLOAN

INFORMATION
SET ASIDE ON
one GROUND
On Other Ground, j. H. Nc
Inerney's Motion to Quash
Indictment is Overruled.

N ~
District Judge Charles NJ. Cooley
this morning took action with refer
ehce to the motion filed by John H.
McInerney to set aside information
against him, upon the ground OF
which he vas arraigncd about two
weeks ago.
The motion was based on the asser-
ton that the defendant had been
granted no preliminary hearing in the
court below, that is, before a commit
ting magistrate, and this assertion was
reinforced by the further claim that
the defendant had been restrained
from obtaining the evidence necessary
for him in preparing his defense.
The motion to set aside information
on this ground was overruled by
Judge Cooley.
On the other ground. that the in
formation filed against the defendant
set forth other offenses than those
alleged at the time of the preliminary
hearing. n differing from those up
OH which the defendant was held for
the district court, the motion was sus-
tanned.
AS far as the conspiracy charge was
concerned, the information was set
aside. and the court this afternoon
! took up the other twenty-nine inforr
nations to determine whether or not
the principles applying to the first in
formation are applicable to all the
rest.
This morning the state made the
usual request for further time in
which to prepare amended lntorma-
ton and the motion was granted.

NO IDLE CARS
IN this CITY
Freight Situation is Salts
factory in Local Rail
road Yards.

Freight Moving Week which was
inaugurated all over the country today
in an effort to clear terminals and to
procure prompt unloading finds
Grand Forks in a Very satisfactory
situation, in fact. it was said today,
that there is no freight to move
At the Office of the, Northern Pa
cific it was stated that the movement
Of freight cars has been going on eys-
tematically for some time, and that
the result. was highly pleasing. For
merly, cars sometimes had to wait
more than "a hours for unloading,
but now no more than IL hours eiapse
between it's arrival and It's unloading.
During the entire month of December
only n a was held slightly beyond
schedule time.
There is no congestion of cars in
the Northern Pacific yards, and the
movement is being facilitated only iii
a normal way as there is no need of
any extraordinary measures. being
taken. 80
The statement given out at the local
Office of the Great Northern railway
was to the same effect. No ears are
, allowed to remain idle in the yards,
! and freight is moving at a satisfactorily
speed. Whatever congestion may re-
suit hereN will be due to the Inability
of the east to absorb the car move
ment.
The accelerated movement of
freight which begins today through
/ out the country is partly a result of
the following statement made by VIM.
G. McAdoo, directcr-general of the
United States railroads. 1
II wish to appeal to the people of
the United States to observe the week
and I earnestly request the governors.
