April will be the month of cleo
tions. In Wolf Point there will be
at least four-the school election for
District No. As, which will be on
Saturday, April 8; the regular city
election, which comes on Monday,
April 5; the special water-bond cleo
ton, set for Saturday, April 10Th;
and the preferential presidential
primary, on Friday, April 23rd.
Only one member of the school
board is to be elected, John r. Cook
being the member whose term ex-
pires. Mr.. Cook states that he Will
not allow the use of his name to sue
ceed himself, and so far as the Her
aid has been able to learn, no candl-
date has come into the field so far.
1t is to be greatly regretted that Mr..
Cook declines to serve longer, as ne
has been a most acceptable member
of the board. He has sacrificed his
time and given his best efforts to-
ward giving the district the splendid
schools it has.
For the City
In the city election, mayor must
he chosen, one alderman in the first
ward, one in the second ward, and
two in the newly created third ward.
In the second ward, Alderman
Campbell retires, and in the first,
Alderman Tyson. Neither OF them
will be candidates again, fact that |
is much regretted by their constitu-
ents.
Petitions have been circulated by
their friends, and freely signed max
ing O. T. Stennes candidate Tor
mayor to succeed himself, and W. l..
Young a candidate for alderman IN
the second ward. 1t is probable
that other petitions will be filed.
Candidates have until three days be-
fore election in which to file.
The Labor Ticket
Several weeks ago meetings of la
boring men nominated candidates Tor {
he CITY offices, Frank Smith for
mayor, L. A. Kragrud for alderman {
n the first ward, w. B. Everett for
alderman in the second ward, and l
Bert Linn and R. G. Ferguson in the
hird ward.
The water bond election will be S
O settle the question of authorizing I
bond issue of $4,000 to increase
he water supply and extend the wa G
er system sufficiently to meet the b
rgent needs of the present city. 1t e
5 not expected that a great deal OF +
pposition will develop against the t
onds, as there is scarcely an alter o
ative from making the extensions. p
he city has entirely outgrown the IL
liant that was put in in 1918 and t.
nds itself without the fire protec- p
on it should have and without a
apply Of water adequate to the var j
,us needs that may arise in any pro- A
ressive city. At present the water
lains extend over a comparatively
nall part of the town and there is
strong demand for city water in y
le parts that are now without it. u
The water bond question will come a
0 for full discussion at the Com ID
ercial Club meeting the 26th and ia
eserves the thoughtful and unbias- "
| consideration of every citizen.

tement over the presidential pri- II
ary, an dit is not yet known what
