Candidates For School
Board And Judiciary

The clerk is tantamount to bust
ness manager of the court. The ell
ection here will probably go
straight down the party lines with
Otto getting nod stritly on the
basis of party. This is one of the
Democratic strongholds in Ohio,
even when a Republican admins
tration is in control of the state
offices.
Candidates for the school board
are; Maud L. Krisher, Benjamin
r. Shaman, Brice l.. True and
Paul ]. Workman. These candid
ates were asked by the League of
Women Voters: What specific
program would you like to see
the board of education accomplish
during the next four years?
Not one of the candidates gave
any indication that they he or she
was in favor of improving the
schools on the west side. These
are the schools that have been
kicked around by board politicians
for a long while now. Every time
onethinks he can feather his nest
he makes a gesture, but nothing
concrete is ever accomplished. So
it is anyone's choice here.
Again it is necessary to urge
everyone who is registered to go
to the polls Tuesday. A heavy
vote inthe sixth and seventh ward
will demonstrate that Negroes
NEAR business, that they will have
candidates running to win before
long.
