I'Yom the list of candidates who have filed, a lively campaign is in the offinR. Moth Parties have contests and much interest will undoubtedly be shown in the coming weeks. In addition to the various county offices, with the exception of the register of deeds, voters will have the opportunity to vote for members of the board of education. This "added" contest is strict ly for the Democrats, however. Republican voters will not be eligible to cast votes for board of educa tion members. A complete list of candidates and the offices they seek are published elsewhere in this issue. As the campaign gets underway seriously, no doubt the candidates, either individually or collect ively, will use the columns of this newspaper to ask for support. They will appeal, and they will per haps state their intentions if nominated and elected. This newspaper urges each candidate to keep the campaign on a high, respectable plain and to re frain from tactics not conducive to a clean campaign.
