Debate Follows.

Expenditure of public funds to pre-

Annual School Election Draws Large
Attendance Monday Evening Fead
Is Defeated For Trustee BY Martin
Frank w. Andreae Withdraws
In Favor of w. H. Learmont
For Office of Trustee

Monday evening last was the
date for the annual school meet
ing, and eight o'clock was the
hour set for the meeting and for
over an hour before this people
began to gather on the streets
and make their way towards the
school building.
This was the largest crowd
that ever attended school meet
ing here, but even at that, many
of the voters did not exercise
their franchise. At the spring
election the city of Yale polled
523 votes, and Monday evening
only 1862 voted in the district,
which includes a lot of people
who reside outside the city linn
its, so only about one half of the
number who were entitled to
voice in school matters took
enough interest in the election
to attend.
There was considerable time
spent in getting things started,
but finally the meeting was OPP
ened with l.. r. Fuller trustee
in the chair.
The treasurer, Frank w. An
dreae then read his annual re-
port which will be found in this
issue, and which shows the dis
trict to be in good shape finan-
cially with balance of upwards
Of 100000.
Two trustees were to be elect
ed and for the first, E. f. Fead,
who has served the district
faithfully for the past twelve
years, had an opponent in the
rersoD Of II. c. Martin.

Allen were sworn in as tellers.
1t took nearly an hour to get
the votes cast and counted and

was expected that Frank w. Ar

nominated by acclamation.
kir. Martins supporters had
been very busy for the past
three weeks and the various al.
gn1ents put up by them seemed
to convince the majority OF yot-
ers that he was the right man
for the place.

Mr.. Fead has done much to fur

into the life of every country
editor comes the desire to own a
Linotype, and the Expositor
man is no exception to the rule
During the past ten days we
have had installed in our office
a Model L. Mergenthaler Limo
type, one of the very latest pro-
ductions of this company.
The big machine arrived July
5th, and +. A. Taylor, of the
Riverside Printing Company
erected the same. Mr.. Taylor is
one of the best Linotype men in
Michigan and understands the
machine from A to q.
1t is our intention, as soon as
we get onto the hang of the thing
to make many improvements in
the paper, and promise our read
ers that they will get the best
of service in the line of news, and
we will try and publish a live
paper in a live town.
In this matter we ask your as
sistance. If you know a news
item, tell us about tive want
all the news all the time.
AS in the past. we are here in
the interests of the city and the
installation of this machine en-
ables us TO more efficiently do
this as we are now in shape to
handle all the material that goes
to make a newspaper worth read
ing. And in buying this machine
we joined the $4,000 other offices

that are equipped with the ma
chine that tells the whole world
the news. Without these ma
chimes, there would be few daily
papers in the country today.
Therefore it enables us to en-
large our paper and print much
that is of interest, which has
been necessarily left out in the
past due to the slowness of the
old method of hand composition.
Drop in any time and see it
work. To those who have already
done so it has proven very in
teresting and we will only be too
glad to have YOU see it in oper-
alton.
Not only does this improve
ment add to the quality of the
newspaper but is the up-to-date
equipment for job work, giving
the fastest service to the GUS
toner and producing work that
is far superior to that turned
out by foundry type that has
been in the game for years. Ev-
cry letter it composes is brand
new, and it will not be many
days before this distinction will
be appreciated by the merchants
and business men throughout
the city.
