The Republican, in speaking of Details of Fire, School Election the election of Cyrus Jones to the clerkship of the city board of education, seeks to give the. public the idea that tho two Democrats on the board prevented a successor to Clerk Thain being chosen, and that McLaughlin had to come home in order to insure the election of aj clerk. Nothing could be further from the truth, since the matter of choosing Thains successor came up several times before McLaughlin went to Montana, and when the Republicans had a clear majority on the board. oi one such occasion, the names of A. L. Cole, Joseph E. Wilson, Carl Garff and Joel Rieka were presented and McLaughlin annoum-ethat he didnt consider any of them qualified for the place, and voted for P. W. Maughan. Yet the Republican has the gall to say that the Democrats prevented a man being chosen. As a matter of fact, there was a secret understanding between the Republican members of the board that Thain should remain until the end of the school year at least and as much longer as possible. Mr. Thain is county chairman, and as he conducted a winning campaign his party thinks one salary not enough for him, so arranged to have him draw two for a while. Now the Republican is trying to put the blame for it upon the Democracy, but your bluff wont work, gentleman. d - A stranger" giving his name as Frank Gnttheimer was caught by clerks in the Z. C. M.

The Council Committee on electric light met on Monday evening to discuss measures for conducting the municipal power plant during the next year. The ground was gone over pretty thoroughly and finally it was de- cided to reduce the price of lights on August 1, to 20 cents each per month. There has been some talk of a cut to ten cents being made, but it is said that that cannot be done legally. The city can meet competition but cannot cut below its rivals.
