WILL TEST SUCKERS
School Board Election May Stir Up
Contest At st. Peter

Contest At st. Peter
st. Peter, July 21.-In closely
contested race OF the school cleo
ton, which took place Saturday ev-
ening, P. A. Peterson, the sticker
candidate defeated Gust E. Olson
by a plurality of seven votes. Oh
son received III and Peterson 17S
of the total cast. N. H. Olson was
re- elected by a vote of 255.
Backers of the Gust E. Olson can
didacy are dissatisfied with the re-
suits of the election and there is
some talk of a contest concerning
the stickers used by the opposition.
The letter X was printed on the
sticker slips and in ordinary cleo
tons this is considered illegal,
Judging from the reports of legal
authority. Whether or not this is
legal in the case of school cleo
ton, which is generally conducted
very carelessly, will be determined
by Attorney C. L. Hilton. The mat
ter was laid before him this week
and his ruling is momentarily ex-
pected and will govern further ac-
ton on the contest.

CITIZENS UNION GIVES
PRAISE TO GOVERNOR
Pleased With Albany Work,
Except Lockwood Bills.

\ review OF the legislative session just
closed. prepared by Walter Arndt, Sec
retary OF the Citizens Union, gives due
praise TO the constructive measures
passed at Albany and records Gov. Miller
as the real leader OF his party. on whom
the responsibility for the failure or the
passage of the various bills ultimately
rested.
Despite a tendency to play for po-
litical position, always evidenced In scs-
sions preceding State elections. and
despite the lamentable eleventh hour
jam on New York city legislation. which
resulted III many bills wholly lackins II
merit being passed practically vithou,
consideration. the legislative machinery
w9s smoothly and efficiently run and
many bills OF unusual Importance were
passed" the report states.
"Over and above leaders and ma Iority
conference alike. the directing authority
of Gov. Miller, as last year, was final
and decisive on all matters. Again. as
in 1921, the final test on all sorts Of
bills was whether the Governor would
stand for them. The situation presented
a perfect exemplification of the Gov
ernor's theory Of party responsibility,
and the frank acceptance of the State
leadership Of his party"
While deploring the failure OF the
Lockwood committee program in its en-
tirety, the review points out that the
session Just ended was more progressive
than It's immediate predecessor, and
cites numerous important additions that
have been made TO the State laws.
Among the measures on which praise
is bestowed are the following
"The commendable changes i'm the
civil service law. the approval Of the
Port Authority plan. the excellent re-
codification of the election law. the APP
proval of the new judiciary article to
the Constitution. the enactment 6f legis-
lation carrying out the constitutional
provisions for children's courts. the
amendment and Improvement OF tho
Transit Commission act. the creation OF
state Department OF Purchase and a
reorganization OF the Farms and Mar
kets Department arc enough to indicate
the important and highly constructive
character of the work OF the Lcgisla
ture."
AS the Citizens Union points out. the
Hylan administration got very little ont
OF the last session. u expected little
and got less. Mayor Hylan. however.
had the satisfaction OF seeing his own
salary increased TO s25.000.
