Show THE DLTY OF TODAY I This is school election day One member mem-ber from each precinct Is to be chosen to serve on the Board of Education Every endeavor possible has been made by the Democrats to preserve the nonpartisan character of the Board This having failed because of the evident disposition of certain Republicans Re-publicans to Inject political influence Into our school affairs the only thing left for nonpartisan to do is to see that this wrong shall not be accomplished accom-plished By the election of three Democrats the balance of the parties on the board will be maintained The I importance of this cannot be overestImated I over-estimated It will be a sorry day when i I partisan politics rule In our educational educa-tional affairs All the Democrats and a large number num-ber of sensible Republicans in the First Precinct should go to the polls today and cast their ballots for Professor Pro-fessor Klngsbury as a member of the Board of Education His eminent fitness fit-ness for the place must be evident to every citizen and his nomination on a nonpartisan platform and pledge should ensure his election as against an avowed partisan candidate The choice of Waldemar Van Cott the able lawyer and honorable gentleman gentle-man by the Democrats of the Second Precinct Is wise and sagacious His knowledge of school affairs from the I personal experience he has had in them qualifies him specially for the office of member of the Board of Education Although the Precinct Is Republican he ought to prevail over his opponent because of his eminent adaptation for the work required Citizens of all political persuasions can afford to vote for Waldemar Van Cott The voters of the Third Precinct should make John E Hansens majority ma-jority a handsome endorsement of his good work on the school board and an emphatic protest against the scheme to make that body a piece of Republican Republi-can political machinery Let there be no lagging or neglect In the gallant Third today I The fact that the Salt Lake Tribune Tri-bune resorts to absolute and intentional inten-tional falsehood to bolster up its endeavor en-deavor to make the Board of Education Educa-tion a partisan Republican affair ought to open the eyes of the voters to the wrong it seeks to perpetrate Its repeated assertions that the University Univer-sity is opposed to the high school that Professor Toronto Is opposed to the High School that the Democrats are opposed to the High School l are willful lies known to be such by the editor who writes them and without any shadow of excuse for their publication except the desire to bring the schools of this city under Republican control I The sneaking efforts to defeat the reelection re-election of Mr Toronto in the Fourth Precinct arc In line with the Tribunes infamous course toward that gentleman gentle-man If the friends of Mr Toronto in that precinct do not rally to his support sup-port and to the overthrow of the loft I and underhand conspiracy against him they will have reason to be ashamed of themselves I There Is no opposition In the Fifth Precinct The gentleman nominated I by the Republicans appears to be ac I septable to the majority of the voters and he will doubtless be elected without with-out difficulty We believe he will mike a good member and serve the public conscientiously Now let all the friends of nonpartisanship nonpar-tisanship in the public schools make It their business to bring out a full vote The lack of Interest in this matter sometimesexhibited is not creditable to the people The figures of todays c election ought to be the largest ever recorded in this city The occasion is urgent The issue amounts to a crisis Rally to the polls and elect the best men as managers of our city system of Education |
