FIFHT OF OLD BOARD TO CONTINUE
IN POWER AND KEEP OUT CHARTER
BOARD RROUCRT INTO CO. CAMPAIGN
■BKramif-r* „ —
The following communication in the
Dally Leader ot Friday evening is
meant as a criticism of my stand as
a member of the Guthrie school board,'
being one of the representatives from
Guthrie township:
Editor Leader:—I am taking but a
passive interest in the county mill-
ing. I notice, however, that Amos
Ewing is a candidate for register of
deeds. Now Amos Is a good one but
he 1b also a martinet. He wants to
run everything. If elected he will
want to run the whole court house.
He has the bearing of a Baron and
wil ldo things repugnant to the form
or our institutions.—J. R. T. „
What haB my stand been as a mem-
he rof the board?
I have opposed actively the contin-
uation of the fight being made by the
members of the old board to prolong
themselves in office, alter being turn-
ed down by the voters at the 1)0118.
I have opposed the suits as a need-
less and reckless expenditure of school
funds In court, attorney and other
fees, and because at the same time it
Is crippling the schools of the city
and tliff township.
I considered that when our district
court decided that the charter school
board was the legal body, an appeal
waa unnecessary, as the district court
had already been upheld in the higher
courts in deciding that the city char-
ter was valid and the city commission-
ers were entitled to their seat.
Opposed the Appeal.
Then, after the state supreme court
recentl ysustained our district court
as to the legality o fthe charter board
I opposed the motion for a rehearing,
j The motion for a rehearing may be
! passed upon by the September term,
and should a rehearing be granted,
then there is no way to tell when the
! final termination of the suit will be
I reached.
As a representative on the board
from Guthrie township, I opposed the
j payment of money in court and attor-
ney fees because the people of t he
township were already burdened with
; taxes, and the people in my township
I had been to me personally and protest"
ed against the continued fight on the
' charter board.
Remount from Committee*
I was removed from the finance
committee of the school board. Vhy?
such bills as $49.50 for hauling
Because I opposed the payment of
$12.38 worth of scrap iron and worth-
less pipings from the school build-
ings to the foundry and a few loads
of dirt from Capitol and Banner
schools, and because I opposed the
payment of numerous unexplained
bills on which the finance committee
had not acted, and some of which ev-
en the finance committee had refused
to approve. '
1 was removed from the committee
because I favored the letting of all
contracts for supplies, printing, re-
pairs and other work by bid and to
the lowest bidder, instead of without
bid to favored parties and members
of the board and their relatives.
I was removed from the finance
committee because I opposed the
well known custom of the old board
in the employment of relatives as
teachers and in other capacities, a
direct violation of the state laws.
Ill Treatment of Janitors.
1 opposed the creation of the tru-
ancy officer, a position that paid $75
a month to the incumbent, with no
duties to perform.
1 opposed the increase in salary,
voetd in violation of law, to the tru-
ant officer after he had been employ-
ed at^i lower salary.
I opposed the treatment accorded
to janitors employed by the old
board, the ousting of old sol-
diers from theSe positions to make
room for relatives and favorites of
old board members.
Big Attorney Fees Paid.
I have opposed, all the time, the
payment of continuous and ever in-
creasing attorney fees, now amount-
ing to $301.84 since the litigation
against the charter board began.
I took the position when the char-
ter government was adopted by the
people and inaugurated, that the
charter board elected then was le-
gal, and I still Insist that in the best
interests of the public schools of the
city and Guthrie township that the
present acting board should stand
aside and permit the regularly elect-
ed board to control the schools and
get theim in condition for the school
term that begins in about six weeks.
What About Central,
I have opposed the policies of the
acting board, because of the deplor-
able condition of the Central school
building. It needs repairs by com-
petent men to insure safety to the
children who attend school there.
The walls have been condemned, the
2,000 bell is a continuous menace, the
floors are rotting, and the grounds
are an eye-sore and a disgrace to
the city.
The communication in the Leader
< says "Ewing will do things repug-
nant to the form of our institutions if
1 elected Register of Deeds.''
I In answer, I have only to say that
i I am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for register of deeds, and
the policies I will adopt, if nominat-
ed and elected, will be the same as
those I have always followed as a I
member of the school board—a stand
for what is decent, legal and right in
the interests of the people of Logan 1
county.
(Signed) AMOS A. EWING. '
McGUIRE AGAIX8T ROOSEVELT.
After an effort that extended thru
three months, John P. Hickam, the
Progressive Republican candidate for
congress in the First district, suc-
ceeded, Friday, in forcing Bird Mc-
Gwire, the stand pat reactionary can-
didate, to meet him in a joint discus-
sion at Yale. Hickam made it so hot
for McGuire that McGuire left the
platform before the time alloted the
speakers had expired.
Hickam was given a great ovation
when ho forced McGuire to admit
that he (McGuire) was against Roose-
velt for president. McGuire's admis-
sion that he is a standpatter made
hundreds of votes for Hickam.
Hickam renews his challenge to Mc-
Guire to meet him In a joint discus-
sion at any point where Hickam is
billed to speak. —Advt.
