evening at eight o'clock in the SUI

who notified the Mankato BOARD
that the apportionlnent this year for
the special classes was as follows:
For subnormal children, $4,000; for
defective speech, $500. This gives
a total of $500 from the state as
aid to Mankato in these two
branches of teaching. 1t was decid-
ed by the board to sell a number of
lots belonging to the school in East
Mankato. 1t was proposed to pay
the original assessment without the
interest, which the city council
would allow them to do. The report
of Mr.. Soaring. who is also the tru-

show that he has been a very busy
man. In the month of September

CASH FOR POLITICS

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]

London, November 2.-The voters
OF England always seem to get more
fun out of election days than the
Americans, and everyone is booking
forward to a very exciting time in
the coming parliamentary races.
1t is customary for all the candi
dates along with their wives or
husbands to be present at the cen
trail polling places in their boroughs
or counties so they can appear be-
fore the populace and make speech
es as soon as the will of the cleo
torate is proclaimed. This is a very
to the successful candidates. The
spirit in which the unsuccessful &C
cept defeat is always keenly await
ed by the assembled voters because
craftsmanship is such an important
trait with the British.
In Great Britain party funds are
a matter of deep secrecy. Their
sources and their sizes are known
only TO few party managers of the
innermost circles. 1t is a common
belief that the British parties have
heavy investments and that they
draw upon the interest instead of
living from hand to mouth and
spending as they go, as is customary
Win pOIlIlCdl oTSdIlLduOuS IN the
