Wilson The Non-partisan Candidate Other Primaries Primar-ies Harmonious The Next Board a Strong One, C. D, Glazier, Thomas John, James Hardy, E. A. Wilson, Jos. T. McEivan. These are the names of the members of Provo's next board of education, which Loard will be a non partisan board. True, the name of J. E Booth will appear on a bastard ticket as a candidate from the Fourth ward for a seat in that board, but E. A. Wilson will be elected from the Fourth ward. All of the wards, except the Fourth, adhered to the arrangements and agreement made by and between the republican and democratic city campaign cam-paign committees who met on November Novem-ber 22nd conjointly at the request of the republican committee. At that conjoint meetina it was agreed to give the republicans three trustees and the demtcrats two, selecting conservative meu 'bo that as near as may be ihe board will be non -partisan. In order that this allotment might be insured, pnd remembering that the law specifies speci-fies that primaries for the nomination, of candidates shall be held in each ward, this committee suggested that the three republicans be selected from the First, Second and Third wards ard that the. two. democrats be stlected from the . Fourth and Fifth. Joh:i Coltrin was a member of that conjoint" committee, he was the only member who voted no upon the agreement. John Coltrin hails from the Fourth ward. The republican goats of that ward all followed him. In every ward, except the Fourth, the primaries held last night were harmonious. har-monious. In the First ward (which is democratic) the republicans made no objection to the arrangement and C. D. Glazier was nominated. The Second ward primary was an exceptionally nice one; Thomas John was nominated. The Third ward primary was well attended at-tended and James Hardy was declared t be-tne-ctoioe cf. tte xacetiar,-'Tba I Fifth ward primary waa a hummer; five good stauBch democrats were put up for nomination. Joseph T. McFwan gained upon every ballot, and finally his nomination was made unanimous. IN TUE FOUKTH. The primary, which had met in purr Euance of a call issued by the non-par-lisan committee, was called to order by Selby Jones, a member of that committee. commit-tee. The other member of that committee com-mittee from the Fourth ward was Bishop Booth. He had the ambition to succeed himself as trustee from the Fourth, and in consequence he violated vio-lated his implied pledge and was not present at the meeting, failed to use his efforts to bring about the non-p artisan ar-tisan election but lent bis name to be placed upon a bastard ticket that is sure to be defeated. A. A. Noon wiB elected chairman of the meeting, Selby Jones, secretary. Johnnie Dixon, who signed the call, started the ball rolling by asking for the sense of the meeting as to whether or no it intended to abide, by the arrangements ar-rangements and agreement of the joint committee. Newel Knight had an "idee" that the taxoajers knew what to do without with-out being dictated to by any committee commit-tee and moved that the meeting proceed pro-ceed to the nomination ot a schooi trustee regarditss of all previous arrangements. ar-rangements. E. A. Wilson explained just bow and why the agreement had been entered into and stated that this primary had met m pursuance to the call made by the non-partisan committee, and a3 honorable men those there convened were in duty bound to carry out the purposes of the meeting as set forth in that call if. they participated in the meeting. He moved as an amendment to Knight's motion that the meeting proceed to the nomination of a trustee as specified in the call. Johnnie Dixon thought that those who could not abide by the agreement had no business in the meeting and should withdraw. John Coltrin said, "I didn't acquiesce at the joint committee meeting." "Acquie.ce" is a new one to John and he had to eet it off. Tom Osborne saU the First and F:fth wards are democratic and always will be. Let them 'ave the democratic trustees. The Fourth ward is entitled to a "repooblican." Jim Bean '"cacklated" that be was as honorable a man as Mr Wilson. He always understood that the republican partv is a parly of "Cf-ntilization ;" he is a republican, but there was a little too much "centiiization" in this arrangement ar-rangement for him. By this time things were sadly mixed. Some three or four motions had been made and Jim Bean bad seconded all of those that were made by republicans. Dixon uic'de a motion that the sense of theimeeting, whether or no it would abide by the arraugement. be taken. Everybody else withdrew their motions to make way for this one. The sensu was taktn, Dixon himpell voted first to abide and then "Hopped." The, re-salt re-salt was a split and JeBse Fuller moved to make the split uuanimous but he found he couldn't make republicans that way, - The republicans withdrew to another room and there the educational (?) meeting was had with a vengence. Noon was nade chairman, Dixon secretary. Knight said "I 'motion' that J. E. Booth be elected." Tom Osborne eeconded"on them' grounds," setting forth tome alleced "grounds." Then a committee of thre to conduct Ihe election was appointed. Newel Knight "motioned" again. Jim Bean' I "cacklated" a little more. Tom Osborne had a firmer S he wanted to "hact" on that com JQittee. Coltrin locked wiae. Confntiu'o reigned.. The committee elected wen J Newell Knight, A. A. Noon and J. R. ?. Richmond. |
