whole being seemingly content to
le the men decide the school board

Tho leaders of the Citizens party
feel confident that at) least four of
their candidates will be elected. Some
of the wise ones "dope out" that
five of the Citizens candidates will
be winners. At all events the indica
tions certainly predicate a victory for
the Citizens ticket.
