SCHOOL ELECTION QUIET
AFFAIR

The school election on Saturday
was quiet affair with Howard
Hanson and Frank Leonard being
reelected and the special levy car
rying almost unanimously. Only one
vote was cast opposing the levy.
Both town and school election UNI
doubtedly show the general salts
faction on the part of towns people
with the present incumbents but we
should all be more concerned with
our franchise and get out and vote
to show in addition to our salts
faction with our officials work that
we also appreciate it and that we
appreciate our right to vote. If our
boys are fighting for democracy, we
should use it-all of it.
