There were a few disgruntled people, in the ranks and they voted their convictions. Thero were some (lemocrats who did not ote and there were others who were "bent on the movement for a citizens ticket in the city and the result, though not accomplished as they, de sired, was practically what they set out to accomplish. Before the ballots had been counted, both sides were claiming victory but the result could not be predicted with accuracy by reason of a large number of scratched tickets. The new board will go into office Trithin the next two or three weeks. -Some Campaign Methods. Keen interest was shown in the elec tion from the time the democrats earned their ticket on Thursday night to be followed by that of the republi cans on Friday night, until the votes v.as counted. Politics wae the" absorb ing topic of discussion among the many groups of both political parties, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and' on each night. ' "' -V"" While no bitter, vituperative meth ods were used and the campaign was conducted on a reasonably high plane, the fight for ballots was an interesting one and the most faithful pf the. party workers lost no opportunity to make or save votes. There "was much inter est shown and a 'great . deal ' of ; Jiarr work done by the party : workers on Tuesday and from the time, the ballot box opened there was much hurrying to and fro to persuade doubtful voters and to secure their votes automobiles "ere greatly in demand throughout the day. .. v : . - ' . :V An interesting eleventh hour piece oi campaign thunder was that of the republican candidates 'in the form of a circular ' which ; was distributed Monday night, claiming that the? ex penses of the city government would -fce reduced in many ways in the event Ifae republicans were elected. Inrqj- der to counteract this document the democrats composed a reply and had it set in type and distributed after twelve o'clock MoHday night. - The circulaY from the republicans read as follows: . . ; v ' 4- " .'

Cale, who has been super: mtendent . pf the school for theJast' four years . . , , The resignation" of Superintendent Cale has been in the hands of the boarr for some time and it is highly pro Da- ble that action will be taken on it at this meeting since steps will doubtless be taken looking to the. coming year's work. - There is considerable specula tion as to the outcome of t'his meeting since; unofficial discussion has beer, given to different, measures 3aid to under consideration. It is rumored that :xcertam-: Influences are beiire , brought, to bear looking to the selec-. 1 lion pf a lady superintendent for the i school, but there are many who art said to look with disfavor, upon this1 proposed ' change, believing that it - would be impractical for 'Henderson--; ville.

It is understood that one of the de- tracting features of Professor Cale's work is the arrangement which neces sitates his teaching during at least five periods each day, thereby taking time that some, think could be profitably spent in looking after the supervision of the. school and keeping in closer touch with the various phases of the school work.
