Show New Angles Develop In SchoolJElection Voters in the districts where school board members are to be chosen in the election on December 5th are showing more interest in the election as the date draws closer The selection of representatives in the Lincoln, Alpine-Highland-Cedar Valley and American Pork, or voting vot-ing districts 1, 3 and 5, will be made on this date, the board member to serve for four years. In Lincoln three men are on the ticket, Samuel H. Blake, Sydney Cluff and P. W. Madsen; in Alpine-Highland-Cedar Valley two, James B. Smith and E. O. Maxfield and in American Fork district but one Thomas A. Barratt. Mr. Clark of Alpine with drew from the race and his name will not be on the ballot. The Alpine group is supporting Mr. Smith strongly on the grounds that he is a worthy and experienced member and now holds the chairmanship chair-manship of the board which honor will likely be retained for the representative rep-resentative and community if he is reelected. The Highland group is solidly back of Mr. Maxfield, who is a strong man and they claim considerable con-siderable strength in Cedar Valley. Thomas A. Barratt has the backing back-ing of nearly one hundred percent of the school patrons in the American Ameri-can Fork district because of his attention at-tention to school needs in this community com-munity and his constructive program put over in the past four years. However, some opposition has developed de-veloped and it is expected that another an-other candidate will oppose him and this name is to be written in on the ballot. This group is assuming that with a "dark hourse" candidate they will have a better chance to win over Mr. Barratt and if they muster the expected support they will hack their candidate and declare they will put him over. At this date it looks like an even race between the three Lincoln can- didates. , |
