Mandamus proceedings to compel
c. o. Williams, county superintendent

dation for the appointment of j. L.
Dolan to be county agricultural agent,
were under consideration Thursday.
A committee of the Wayne County
Farm Bureau, authorized to act for the
organization. was in consultation with
Attorney Will Keller to outline the
course of action.
This course was decided upon at a
meeting of the Farm Bureau in the
courthouse Wednesday night when
members and directors we're advised
that voting proxies at Saturdays meet
ing of the board of education was
illegal
The proxies should have been
thrown out, thus changing the result
of the ballot, and approving Dolan's
appointment. Without the proxies,
the vote would have stood seven for
and six against.

Farm Bureau. called on one man from
each township to tell the attitude of
his trustee and the efforts to win his
vote.

me and the Farm Bureau"
Superintendent Williams, during
the superintendency campaign, said
that II the Farm Bureau took part in
the fight against him. it would be split
wide open from within, and that il
would die an inglorious death as a
result
