we have such a fine man as Mr. Ru- |
stgard for Candidate. He is prese- j
nt Attorney Gen, for Alo^ska^ & isr- j
unning again for re-election.It is
with pleasure that we endorse him
an honest & far-seeing'man, well f
itted for his work. Mr, Rustgardis
all of these. We also hope that 13*.
W4 E, Keller will'be re-elected co
mmisioner‘of Edu., as he is a very
good Supt* He seems to'know justw
hat which school needs, partly be
cause he is willing to travel from
