Frank Neill passed through Beaver
Saturday enrouto west. In our opin-
ion h? had better stay at homo und

iauico the biggest majority ol any
casdMite on tho ticket.
As a protection again it firo in our
city wo would sugseet 'KfH tbo city of.

duty it shall bo to inspect every fluo in

We have it from H. F. Hrown's own
lips that ho is unconcerned as to wheth
er hi- is elected to the office of county
superintendent or not and that if ho is
elected it is doubtful as to whether be
will qiiniuy or not. tlo gives as ins
reason for this statemont that bo has
been offered a better thing !h tho way
of a position in tho West. Now vot
ers of Beaver countv do you wunt to
support a candidalo who if eluded
may not qualify and who is unconcern
cd about tbo office? Wouldn't it bo
I better to elect tbh porsoo who wnt9
the olbco and whoTr elected will give
it undivided attention? Tho majority
of the teachers in the cpvnty aro woin-
on and they prefer Miss Baker to suc-
ceed birself. Will you turn sjdo the
wishes of the educators and tho interest
of tho schools aud school children
when you cast your baliot? Uemembor
tho Tcacheis' Instiluto is beiug largely
attended by the teachers and to this h
due the advancement and (success of our

Drown as conductor of snch we can on-
ly picture it as a horrible failure. Per
