You'll please excuse this word from
so simple a source. But l see Miss
Ireland is 1u3ring for Superintendent
of Schools and I've taught under her
and know she is a good practical Sup
erintendent in county office, and is
very human. She was indOrsed by the
Nonpartisan League in Hill county for
superintendent and I've had personal
talks with her so as to know and trust
her.
A certain Mrs. Douglas ran fol-
County Superintendent in Blaine
County and Miss Ireland chill county
superintendent told me that Mrs
Douglas had said in a speech thai
Russia would set an example to the
world and it caused her defeat. She
said it was little early to make 81
free with her real opinions on Russia

but would like to see her elected, the

know no fault of the old Superintend-
ent, but believe change is good some
times.
I'll have to say l heard complaint
not long ago against the News be-
cause it once was Socialist, then Non
partisan and now Farmer-Labor. If
you'll accept my simple compliment,
I'd rather see one change like that
than get where he has nothing to
change. Reminds me of the old say
ing: "Wise people change their minds,
fools never do
Well, maybe you'll forgive me for
my simple letter but just wanted to
get a word in edgewise for Elizabeth
