SCHOOL
IIHI
Nobody Wants the Job—Many Promi
nent ,Valdez Citizens Being
Urged to Run.
The school elect on, to elect a suc
cessor to Charles Wilcox as school
treasurer, will be held next Wednes
day at the city h-U. Nobody wants
the job apparently, as no candidates
have announced their intention of
running.
It’s a good job—not much work,
plenty of roasting from people who
know how the treasurer could pay the
warrants if he wanted to, though no
funds are in the iron box. All yqu
get is cussing, but then—you have i
the honor.
The only chance to get a few nom- ‘
inees fighting for the job will be to
have a number of "loud mouths” get
busy, claiming that John Doe has no
chance to be elected arid when John
hears of it he will remark, “I’ll show
him,” and forthwith, start to expend
a hundred dollars to win a thankless
job. I
A number of prominent citizens t
have been mentioned for the job.
J. C. Martin, Mrs. W. H. Kramer,
,1. G. Snyder, Charles Hand .and Mrs.
E. B. Wheat are being urged to ac- !
cept the nomination. :
