The Daily Capital last week said that the Negroes and democrats controlled the Burlington, Club. This one article shows to what extreme those papers go to when fighting Gov. Cummins. The Negroes have as much right to support Gov. A. B. Cummins as any other republican for Governor, certainly the Standpatters and corporations have given the Negro nothing not even consideration in Iowa, no it is the mean contemptable slur that the Daily Capital wanted to throw at Gov. Cummins, every loyal Negro voter should rebuke such papers or leaders in the republican party. If those same Negroes would have organized a Perkins' Club they would have at least been colored people according to the Capital. MARY C. BURTON MRS, SHARP FOR RECORDER This week we present the cut of Mrs. David Sharp who is a candidate for county recorder. Mrs. Sharp is one of the pioneers of Polk county.

COLONEL PALMER FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER This week it is a pleasure for us to present the cut of our old friend, Colonel D. J. Palmer of Washington, Iowa, who is a candidate for re-nomination for railroad commissioner of the state. Colonel Palmer is one of those boys who in 1860 when the call came to go and defend our country and flag, willingly offered his life as a sacrifice for the maintenance of this union and the perpetuation of our flag. He is one of the best known soldiers today in and around the camp fire meetings. He is a plain, common, honest and genial man to meet. He has made a good commissioner and stands upon his past record which he submits to the public for their consideration. He is a true republican, a good friend to the colored race and will treat all classes fair. He merits your support. HAYWOOD FOR SECRETARY OF STATE. We deem it quite a pleasure to Hon. W. C.

This week we present a picture of Hon. H. W. Byers of Harlan, Shelby county, Iowa, who is a candidate for attorney general of the state of Iowa and whose name will appear on the Polk county republican ballot next Tuesday at the coming primaries for endorsement. We can say that we are personally acquainted with Mr. Byers and know him to be one of the ablest and best fitted man in the contest for attorney general. He is recognized as as one of the strongest men at the bar in the state. He has been a member of the General Assembly of Iowa and was honored by being elected speaker of the House two terms. He made one of the best parliamentarians that the Iowa legislature ever had. He has been chairman of the republican state convention and his eloquent voice has been lifted in defense of republican principles in this state for many years, and this is the first time he has sought state honors; and we assure those who are not acquainted with Mr. Byers that they will not make any mistake in registering their vote for him.

Mr. Richards is a republican and one who has devoted many years of his life to the interests of the party. He has for several years had charge of the literary bureau at republican state headquarters and has had much to do with the many glorious victories won by his party. He was private secretary to lae late Col. D. B. Henderson when that gallant soldier-statesman was speaker of the National House of Representatives. He is worthy the support of every republican. Vote For C. M. GARVER For Supervisor of Des Moines Township. Iowa State Bystander Bystander Pub. Co. IOWA If every American could visit China the question of Chinese immigration would soon be settled upon a permanent basis, for no one can become acquainted with the Chinese coolie without recognizing the impossibility of opening the doors of our country to him without injustice to our own laboring men, demoralization to our social ideas, injury to China's reputation among us, and danger to our diplomatic relations with that country, says William J. Bryan, in Success Magazine. I made it a point to inquire among the Chinese whom I met. In order to ascertain the real sentiment back of the boycott. I had heard of students being subjected to harsh regulations at ports of entry, of travelers humiliated by confinement in uncomfortable sheds, and of merchants treated rudely, and I supposed that these things had aroused the resentment. I found, however, that the things complained of were more difficult to deal with and the corvices demanded impossible to grant. In order to understand the boycott one must know something of Chinese history. As China has never had representative government the people have been compelled to bring their complaints before officials by petition; and, where the petition has been ignored, they have been accustomed to bring such pressure to bear as was within their power, and the boycott has often been resorted to as the part of officials. They, therefore, conceived the idea of a boycott against American goods for the double purpose of urging their own government to favorable action and of calling the attention of the American government to their complaint. Our officials are doing what they can to convince the Chinese government of the injustice and folly of the boycott, and the Chinese officials with whom I conversed seemed anxious to cooperate with our minister and consuls. Immediate action upon the part of our congress, whether favorable or unfavorable to the Chinese, will remove the excuse for a boycott; and our government should not be influenced in its action by any threats affecting trade, for the subject is too grave to be determined by commercial considerations. Unpunished Offenders Unpunished Onesmen. There are things which to sensitive souls constitute a disturbance of the peace, and yet for which there is no adequate punishment prescribed by law, very truly observes a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A man in a short coat and silk hat is an offence of this kind, and a fat woman in a 'rainy' skirt and peek-a-boo waist is another. There are legions of them. They offend the artistic sense, and mar the face of nature. Now and then some aesthetic person, made desperate by these abuses, takes the law into his own hands and inflicts punishment, usually at severe cost to himself. For instance, if the man who stabbed Thomas Reed for playing a guitar in an undertaking establishment is caught, he may be sent to the penitentiary. Such is the injustice of our laws. What is needed is a corps of armed censure of things in general, something between a police and a human society force, and vested with authority to arrest offenders against good taste. A special court for the trial of such offenders could be provided, and the keepers of mechanical musical platforms chump and persons who talk at the play at al. They have just justice meted out to them. As long as such offenders are left unpunished by law, so will there be "unexplained" murders and assaults, for they "get on the nerves" of people who have artistic sensibilities, and these people become aroused to deceive deeds, braving even martyrdom for the holy cause of good taste. The world would welcome such a department of justice as we have suggested, if some one would take the initiative to secure the proper legislation. Here is the opportunity for some ambitious reformer to endear himself to the masses and make Folk, Hadley and Jerome to pale their ineffectual fire in the bright light of his genius. One of the largest retail tobacco dealers in the United States says that the consumption of chewing tobacco has increased almost 50 per cent. in five years. He attributes this increase to the automobile, because it is impossible to enjoy a cigar or pipe while whizzing in a motor car. There is also danger of sparks or ashes from the lighted cigar or pipe getting into the eyes. Dr. Daniel Bella, a New York minister, has compromised his claim against the New York Central railroad for the fracture of 20 bones in a viaduct collision last fall. Figuring on the basis of $1,000 a bone, the company has agreed to pay him $20,000 for his injuries. This is considered to be a step in advance in regard to the basis for personal injury claims. The order of the garter seems to be very elastic. Great Britain has just conferred it upon the emperor of China. That Milwaukee man who has been arrested on the charge of stealing $25,000 worth of gas in the past seven years, by tapping the gaslight company's mains, will probably find in the end that it would have been cheaper if he had used electric light. An enthusiastic wireless telegraph in ventor declares that in a few years we shall be able to communicate with the planet Mars. But if he is sure that the people on Mars, if there are any, are willing and ready to talk back? THE CHOICE OF PAINT. Fifty years ago a well-painted house was a rare sight; to-day an unpainted house is racer. If people knew the real value of paint a house in need of paint would be "scarcer than hen's teeth." There was some excuse for our forefathers. Many of them lived in houses hardly well preserving; they knew nothing about paint, except that it was pretty. House paint was expensive and costed the difference between their case and ours is that when they wanted paint it had to be made for them; whereas when we need paint we can go to the nearest good store and buy it, in any color or quality ready for use. We know, or ought to know by this time, that to let a house stand unpainted is most costly, while a good coat of paint, applied in season, is the best of investments. If we put off the brief visit of the painter we shall in due time have the carpenter coming to pay us a long visit at our expense. Number is constantly getting scarcer and poorer, while prepared paints are getting plierer, better and less expensive. It is a short-sighted plan to let the valuable number of our houses go to pieces for the want of paint. For the man that needs paint there are two forms from which to choose; one is the old form, still favored by certain unprogressive painters who have not yet caught up with the times—lead and oil; the other is the ready-formed, more modern store. The first must be mixed with oil, driers, turpentine and colors before it is ready for use; the other need only be stirred up in the can and it is ready to go on. To buy lead and oil, colors, etc., and mix them into a paint by hand is, in this twentieth century, about the same as in the past, because one's grandfather had to walk or ride on horseback when he wanted to go anywhere. Prepared paints have been on the market less than fifty years, but they have proved on the whole so inexpensive, so convenient and so good that the consumption today is something over sixty million gallons a year and still growing. Unexpectedly, the factory, it stands to reason there would have been no such steady growth in their use. Mixed paints are necessarily cheaper than paint of the hand-mixed kind, because they are made in a large way by machinery from materials bought in large quantities by the manufacturer. They are necessarily better than paint of the hand-mixed kind, because they are more finely ground and more thoroughly mixed, and because there is less chance of the raw materials in them being adulterated. No painter, however careful he may be, can ever be sure that the materials he buys are not adulterated, but the large paint manufacturer does know in every case that every hand he buys goes through the chemist's hands before he accents it. Of course there are poor paints on the market (which are generally cheap paints). So there is poor flour, poor cloth, poor soap; but because of that we go back to the hand-mill, the hand-loom and the soap-kettle of the backwoods. No, we use our common sense in loosening goods. We find that we can loosen the brands of flour, cloth and soap; we take account of the standing of the dealer that handles them, we ask bur neighbors. So with paint; if the manufacturer has a good reputation if the dealer is responsible, if our neighbors have had satisfaction with it, that it ought to be pretty good evidence that the paint is all right. "Many men of many kinds"— Many paints of many kinds; but while prepared paints may differ considerably in composition, the better grades of them all agree pretty closely in results. "All read head to Rome," and the paint manufacturers, starting by different paths, have all the same object—to make the best paint possible to sell for the least money, and so capture and keep the trade. There is scarcely any other article of general use on the market to-day that can be bought with anything like the assurance of getting your money's worth. "You can afford a pared paint. The pain you buy today may not be like a certain patent medicine, "the same as you have always bought," but if not, it will be because the manufacturer has found a way of giving you a better article for your money, and so making more sure of your next order.

Cressman of Pleasenhill, La., who told of his troubles and cure as follows: "I traveled considerably, was exposed to all kinds of weather and was irregular in my sleeping and eating. I suppose that I was sick any rate, in May, 1905. I had got bad that I was compelled to quit work and take to my bed. I had a good doctor and took his medicine faithfully but grew worse. I gave up of getting better and the neighbors thought I was worse." "I had another spelling that it is awful to recall. My heart fluttered and then seemed to cease baiting. I could not lie on my left side at趴. My manda read after learning about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a newspaper I decided to try them and they suited my case exactly.

A BUSY WOMAN Can Do the Work of 3 or 4 If Well Fed. An energetic young woman living just outside of New York, writes: "I am at present doing all the housework of a dairy farm, caring for 2 children, a vegetable and flower garden, a large number of fowls, besides managing an extensive exchange business through the mails and pursuing my regular avocation as a writer for several newspapers and magazines (designing work for the latter) and all the energy and ability to do this I owe to Grape-Nuts food. "It was not always so, and a year ago when the shock of my nursing baby's death utterly distressed me and stomach, and nerves so that I could not assimilate as much as a mouthful of solid food, and was in even worse condition mentally, he would have been a rash prophet who would have predicted that it ever would do so. "Prior to this great grief I had suffered for years with impaired digestion, insomnia, agonizing cramps in the stomach, pain in the side, constipation, and other bowel derangements, all these were familiar to my daily life. Medicines gave me no relief—nothing did, until a few months ago, at a friend's suggestion, I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and subsequently gave up coffee entirely and adopted Postum Food Coffee at all my meals. "To-day I am free from all the troubles I have enumerated. My digestion is simply perfect, I assimilate my food without the least distress, enjoy sweet, incipient sleep, and have a buoyant feeling of pleasure, and I enjoy fruit dishes. I am a new woman, entirely made over, and I repeat, I owe it all to Grape-Nuts and Postum Coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

The late Paul Kruger was not an eloquent man, but he excelled in brief and pithy sayings. To a nephew who wanted an office he said: "My dear boy, you are not clever enough for a subordinate position, and all the higher offices are niled." At a church meeting in the suburbs of New York the inquiry was made whether a certain lawyer of the congregation interested in the insurance investigation, had "get religion." To this another lawyer responded: "No I think not, unless it's in his wife's name." An American, who had spent more time gathering money than in studying grammar, while coaching in England remarried to the driver "I suppose, coachman, all them trees grown out of them hedges." "Oh, no, sir," responded the coachman; "all them hedges grew out of them trees." Bourke Cochran tells an Irish story, "There was an Irish schoolmaster," he said, "who was examining a class in geography one day. 'Now, my lao, he said to a clever little chap, 'tell us what latitude is.' The clever clever chap smiled and winked. 'Latitude' he said; 'oh, sir, there's none o' that in Ireland; sure the English don't allow us any, sir.'" Two very great swells, one a young duke and the other a young viscount, brushed against each other one night at the theatre. The duke, anxious to snub the viscount, pretended to take him for an usher, and sold, holding out his hand: "Have you a program?" But the viscount, too quick for the duke, smiled and replied: "Yes, thank you, my man; I got one from the other fellow." A man had been employed to make an inventory of the furniture in the house. He was so long about his task in the parlor, however, that the mistress of the manslion went to see what he was doing. On the floor lay an empty bottle. On the sofa lay the man sleeping sweetly like a tired child. But the inventory had not been wholly forgotten. At the top of the page stood a solitary entry: "One Revolving Carpet." A practical joke of New York City tells this story upon himself, and declares that the experience cured him of his bad habits. "On my arrival at San Francisco, as a joke I sent to a friend of mine at home, well known for his aversion to spending money, a telegram, with charges to collect, reading, 'I am perfectly well.' The information evidently was gratifying to him, for about a week after sending the telegram an express package of dried meat at my room, on which I paid four dollars. Upon opening the package I found a new New York street-paving block, on which was pasted a card, which read, 'This is the weight your recent telegram lifted from my heart.'"

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAVES THE TEACHERS Des Moines, April 27.—An opinion from Attorney-General Mullan has been secured to the effect that the omission of one section in the teachers' certificate bill, passed by the last general assembly, will not seriously affect the workings of the law. The law enumerates the subjects on which an examination must be passed by the first grade certificates, but falls to enumerate the subjects for the second and third grades. The attorney-general holds that inasmuch as first, second and third grade certificates are required, the board of educational examiners have authority to name the subjects on the examination be passed by the second and third grades. It was at first feared the second and third grade teachers would have to take the examination for the first grade certificate. Removes Bone from Skull. Mason City, April 22,—by a removal of an inch and a half square of the frontal bone from the skull of Richard Powell, 4-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Powell, who was kicked by a horse, the boy's belief now to have been removed was arranged for the exposed portion of the brain. It is expected now that the bone of the skull will unite, thus filling up the place made by the removal of the bone. The boy was playing in a livery stable when the knee of the boy was knocked several feet. When picked up thought to be dead and remained unconscious until the operation relieved the pressure, he may recover. Child Is Burned To Death Vinton, April 26—The three-year-old daughter of E.

NEW INTERURBAN IO MILES LONG Des Moines, April 26.—One of the longest single electric lines in the United States will be in operation in Iowa by November 1. The Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern Electric railway, sometimes known as the Newton & Northwestern, will on that date be running its cars on 110 miles of road, which is the longest private right of way owned and operated by any interurban company. The new company is exerting all its energies toward having the entire line in operation on that date. Additional grading contracts were let yesterday morning for twenty-one miles of work from Lanyon to Fort Dodge to Murray Bros. of Cedar Rapids. By the terms of the contract the southern half of this line must be ready for laying steel by August 15, and the entire contract must be completed by September 30. It will be necessary to remove 30,000 cubic yards of earth. The line will cross the Des Moines river at Kalo, a few miles south of Fort Dodge. The contract for the bridge at this point has been let to the American Bridge company. It calls for the construction of three 175-foot spans eighty-five feet above high water with tubular piers. The Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern acquired by purchase the steam railroad running from Rockwell City to Newton, through Boone, known as the Newton & Northwestern. The road has an independent right of way, with the exception of a few miles between Newton and Metz, which is Rock Island trackage. The entire line will be electrified. DORA MUSGROVE CANNOT BE FOUND Des Molines, April 27.—The police have as yet no trace of Dora Musgrove, the woman wanted for the stabbing of Sade Lenovsky in the house at East Second and Walnut streets last Saturday afternoon, although it is practically certain that she is no longer in Des Molines. The victim of the stabbing affray is improving, and there is now no danger that her wounds will prove fatal, but the authorities are anxious to take the Musgrove woman into custody if possible. Mamie Burgia, a 15-year-old girl, who roamed with Dora Musgrove, was arrested by the police for investigation Tuesday, and was yesterday taken before the juvenile court and sentenced to the Mitchellville Industrial school. She was a witness of the quarrel between the two women last Sturday afternoon, and declared that the stabbing followed an assault by Mrs. Renovsky. According to her story, the quarrel between the two women was over some man, and began by Mrs. Renovsky slapping Dora Musgrove several times in the face. She says that the latter then stepped into her own room, picked up a carving knife which was lying inside the door and slashed and stabbed at her opponent several times. After the stabbing, Miss Musgrove and Miss Burgis walked down East Court avenue, where they met a man whom Dora Musgrove knew. He escorted them to the Union depot in West Des Moines and gave Miss Musgrove $5. Miss Burgis declares that she left her at that time, and that Dora Musgrove told her she was going to Mitchellville. Nothing is known of her movements since that time. Colfax, April 23.--While the 200 guests were dressing and at breakfast yesterday morning, flames were discovered on the roof of the Monte Colfax and, in spite of the efforts of the volunteer fire department, the big hotel building was entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at about $40,000 with insurance at $25,000. The fire started in the attic and the origin is a mystery. The flames were first discovered at 7:30 o'clock and the a.arm was immediately given. The fire spread rapidly and many of the guests in the upper floors of the hotel had just time to escape themselves, leaving the property to the mercy of the fire. After the guests were saely out of the building an effort was made to save the bunk all that were on second and third floors was destroyed, the furniture in the basement and second floor, however, was removed in time. A high wind was blowing and it was feared for some time that other buildings in the vicinity of the Monte Colfax would fall victim to the flames. Sparks rained around the Victoria and the volunteer firemen were forced to turn their attention to it. A fire brigade belonging to the Victoria was burned and a barn belonging to D. R. Crowel was also destroyed, the loss not exceeding $100, however. The Monte Colfax, well known throughout the country as Fry's hotel, was a three story frame building. It was insured for $25,000, $5,000 being insurance on the contents and the remainder on the building itself. T. W. McNear, proprietor of the Monte Colfax, says the building will be rebuilt at once and that a modern hotel will take the place of the former building.

Gives a Household Standby. "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician, for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Plis. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do, twelve miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dollars to come up on the mountain.

One Hundred Years Since Pike's Peak Was Discovered. Elaborate plans are being made at Colorado Springs to celebrate in truly western style the Centennial of the day when Lileuz Zebulon M. Pike first sighted the famous peak, which was afterwards the landmark of the hardy pioneer whose wagon train wended its slow way across the plains. The Chicago & North-Western Railway announces extensive preparations for this event on the part of Colorado Springs and Denver, as well as on behalf of the various railway lines. It is understood that the last week in September is to be devoted to a round of festivities to be participated in by ten thousand United States Regulars and a concourse of Indians, representing the various tribes with which the inteprid explorer came in contact on his toilsome march of discovery. The National Guards, cadets, veterans, cowboys, ploners, patriotic societies, fraternal societies and citizens generally will also take part in the program, which will include drills by the troops, war dances by the Indians, cowboy's sports, parades and tournaments. Some men would be more likely to take hints if they could pawn them. W. N. U., Des Moines, Ia., No. 17—1906 WORKINGWOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—Interesting Statements by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn. Miss Frankie Orser Miss Pearl Ackers Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fall PILES: NO MONEY TILL CURED SEND FOR FREE LEEES, TREATMENT OR BREAKFAST D. THORNTON & MINOR 031 ST. KANSAS, MO. (BOARD OF ST. LOUIS) All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-causing treadmill, earning their daily bread. They come to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling and displacements or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. They especially require an invigorating dose of vitamin C to strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism. Miss F. Orser, of 14 Warrenton Street, Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I suffered misery for several years with female irregularities. My back ached; I had bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches; I could not sleep and could hardly drag around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried Lyda E Pinkham's vegetable Compound, and to my surprise, every ache and pain left me. I gained ten pounds and am in perfect health.⁸ Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Summer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Summer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: **Dear Mrs. Pinkham—** "I suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing-down pains, pain across the abdomen; was very nervous and irritable, and my trouble grew worse every month. My physician failed to help me and I deserved to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappeared, and I no longer fear my monthly periods." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more crush you. Backache, dizziness, fainting, bearing-down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society—all symptoms of the one cause—will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and well. You can tell the story of your sufferings to a woman, and receive helpful advice free of cost. Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-two years she has been a reception and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge. f @ ty = >. eo i’ nen ER: " ae LS i aman it yr sis bore ne cast ade gee at ee ae eee aston is | JONES FOR CUNSTABLE. ‘The Negro voting population as wel as many other well wishers wish t express thelr appreciation of the fac that their raco of people has a can didate for constable of Des Moines township, in the person of I.

Note what Judge Given, one of the foremost men of the county has to say: "I have been associated with Mr. Jordan in legal business for sometime, and have come to know him as a very palmstaking, industrious and thorough lawyer. His election as County Attorney will bring to the service an efficiency that well be appreciated by the people. (Signed) Josiah Given."

Kirkman for constable of Des Moines township, West Side for re-nomination; he is one of the present constable of West Des Moines. He is a Des Moines man, born in Polk county 48 years ago, and has been here ever since and has never held or asked for any other office then the one he now holds. He has made a good constable, as his record will bear this statement out. Some of his opponents have made the statement that he is able from a financial stand-point to do without the office; this statement is not true because at present he is not as well prepared financially as some may think—records will bear out this fact. He has been an active republican worker all his life, and believes, in giving every man a square deal, the solicits your support. J. W. Beck, the present county coroner who is a candidate for re-nomination. Mr. Beck was born in Indiana in 1838 came to this county 16 years ago. He is a graduate from the DePauw University in Indiana, also from the Iowa State University in 1881. He is a practicing physician and stands on his own past record as coroner, and his friends solicit your support for his nomination at the coming primaries. He is a veteran of the civil war and has been an active hard working republican, and no doubt from age and experience is better qualified for next years' duty. MISS HUEGLE FOR GOUNTY SUPERINTENDENT. The citizens of this city and county ask on the eave of an election (and such being the case) each one should look up the candidates they wish to support. The good that such candidate can do for the community should be your greatest ame and owing to the office of county superintendent of schools being an office that should most interest the voters, we believe that experience qualifications and personality should be uppermost and no one doubt but what Jennie Steele Huegle is the most fitted for the position of county of schools for this county.
