The fact that L)r. Romig signilied
hjs intention of running for school
board treasurer was the reason of bis
endorsement by the People’s Ticket
and his name appearing in yesterday’s
Gateway. The People’s Ticket ap
preciate very well the fact that the
school board should be eliminated from
politics, and hence the endorsement of
Dr. J. H. Romig, who they believe a
tit and proper person for the position.
People’s Ticket.
Now the critics are trying to prove
that Paul Revere never took that his
torical ride, and that Maud Muller
never raked hay; that she didn’t ever
have any hay to rake, and had never
met a judge, unless it was a judge of
good whiskey. Next thing these smart
fellows will try to have us believe that
Lady Godiva did not ride through the
streets of Coventry, arrayed in a
wealth of golden hair and a scared
smile.____
