At the Fifth ward primary, before the business of the primary wW"tak;n up, Dr. Karl G. Maeser took occasion to express himself publicly concerning tbe use of his name and endorsement in hia (Professor Nelson's) circular which has lately been circulated announcing an-nouncing the professor's candidacy for nomination for the office of st&te superintendent su-perintendent of public in8 ruction. The doctor said that while at the time that endorsement was written he was enthusiastically iu support of Profes- Rfr NhIsoti as acainst nthmr mnrliriatoa in the field for the appointment of territorial ter-ritorial commissioner of schools, and still believed him a very capable man and progressive educator, yet the circumstances cir-cumstances now are different and he (the doctor 'iid not want to be bound in any way by that indorsement. In fact he believed that under existing circumstances there are other, 'good democrats in the territory tht he VTOU1U glye Lilt) BUppUxb frviiro OufK,. intendent of public instruction first, and in preference to Professor Nelson notwithstanding: tbe high estimation in which he holds the profesior as a man and progressive and able educator. The pian outlined in the professor's circular, the doctor said, is a superb one, is the work of a c!er train; he endorses every line of It, but he believes be-lieves there are other educators equally as bright, equaly as capable wtio are more widely known, more popular and who wou'd add more strength to iho democratic ticket. Professor Nelson had, .the doctor said, used nis (the doctor's) doc-tor's) name and endorsement in the present circular without first gettinir his consent to do so. It is therelore unauthorized. The speaker wanted his friends to know tbat he enters this campaign entirely untrameled and pledged nor bound to no man or candidate can-didate for any position. |
