ELECTION ON TUESDAY

The ballot for the school board cleo
ton to be held next Tuesday was made

board Friday morning. III. A. Rogers.
Guy s. Mcfarland, Herbert PEARS and
: Mrs. Henry Guerra will constitute the
y Better Schools" ticket while s. Engel-
king, an attorney, will run independ-
emily.
Up until IL o'clock Thursday night,
an hour before the ballot closed, there
was a possibility that there would be a
complete opposition ticket to the Bet
ter Schools" movement. The Better
Schools" movement were prepared for
any contingency, it was learned, as
those sponsoring the movement had
three complete tickets, any one of which
might be filed at the last moment.
if il were found that the other two
were not suitable to any condition that
might arise.
At o'clock Thursday afternoon Guy
s. Mcfarland filed. At later hour
Mr.. Engelking filed. The other names
were filed between IL and u o'clock
Thursday night.
Strove for UnOpp0sed Ticket.
At the time the Better Schools"
ticket was being arranged. several days
ago. Mr.. Mcfarland and ]. X. Beretta,
both indicated they did not desire to
run. Later, Mr.. Beretta announced he
would not run. With conditions in that
shape, the Better Schools" movement
indicated that it would endorse Mrs.
Henry Guerra, Herbert PEARS and two
others in an effort to secure an unop-
posed coalition ticket.
When Mr.. Mcfarland later an
nounced that he had been induced to
run he was offered a place on the
.Better Schools" ticket. AT that time
he stated that he had strong objections
TO one of the two old members of he
school board who had been endorsed for
reelection and that he did not want
to run upon the same ticket with that
candidate. Revelations that took place
|, late Thursday evening were to the eff
feet that Mr.. Mcfarland had been mis-
informed as to the attitude that the
\ candidate he opposed had taken to-
ward him, and that as a matter of fact,
the candidate had taken the lead in adj
yocating that Mr.. Mcfarland receive
the endorsement of the Better Schools
movement.
Filed But Withdrew Name.
Mrs. c. S. Gilbert filed Thursday
night, but after the Better Schools"
ticket had been filed, she withdrew
her name, stating that she did not want
TO run as an independent candidate
against the ticket.
A request in a petition bearing 40
or more names that the names of H. A.
Rogers, Guy Mcfarland, Herbert
PEARS and Mrs. Henry Guerra be
placed upon the official ballot as the
Better Schools" ticket, was granted
by the school board at the called meet
ing Friday morning.
