10 GREAT INTEREST
EVIDENT IN PREBLE
ELECTION TUESDAY

EATON. o., Nov. Interest in the
election Tuesday is not overly keen
in Eaton and Preble county, so far as
outward appearances would indicate.
and success or failure of candidates
seems, on the surface, to be of little
concern to the average voter. Vii
lage and township candidates have
conducted their campaigns in a quiet
manner. No public meetings have
been held by them.
Interest probably centers in election
of three members of the county board
of education and the outcome of the
eX-service mems and women's ad'
justed compensation amendment. The
county legion council closed Saturday
night a spirited campaign of two or
three weeks in the interest OF the
compensation amendment. The coun
ty press has been resorted to largely
in placing the board of education is
sue before the public However, some
campaigning along old-time lines also
has been done, it is said.
Six candidates are out for county
board of education. Homer n. Bierly
Harry Mills and Arthur Morton are
listed as Republicans, while A. j. Muir
ray, Harry Price and Ralph w. Ayers
are listed as Independents. The Inde
pendents are regarded as favorable tc
the present county school administra
ton, it is said.
Say Kock Is Leader.
The opposition. ii is said, is led by
Reuben Koch, who lost his job as
district superintendent when the Kun
Ter new school law abolished the posi-
and created in its stead the post Of
assistant county school superintend
ent Koch did not receive the appoint
ment as assistant county school super
intepdent. He held a contract for an
other year as district superintendent
Injunction proceedings against pay
,1ent of the assistant county superin
tandents salary is pending in the
county courts. Electors of Eaton viii
have TO voice in the selection of the
board of eduo2t:on members, as the
school district does not embrace
Eaton.
The electorate Of the county will
have before It a proposition 70 con
tinue the one mill levy for road par
poses for a period of three years The
levy was adopted for a period of two
wears and the limit will expire before
long
Consider Improvement.
Jackson township voters will have
before them a proposal to issue
$4,000 worth of bonds to enlarge. re
model and otherwise improve the
township central school building which
was the first built in the county afteI
