To tho Republican Voters of Coos

tltno to tho duties -of tho offico
will doubtloss bo Interpreted in tho
light of his iiast record In that
regard.
Ho promises, If elected, to do
away with tho school auporvlsor.
Ho falls to state that tho mutter of
having or not having a supervisor
Is In tho hands of thu school
bourds of tho county, not In tho
power of thu county superintend
ent. Tho legislature of ID 15 so
a;nonded this law, and for n year
copies of these laws havo boon In
the lunula of tho school board mem
bers, and tho supervisor's fato has
boon in their power without any
option on thu part of tho county
superintendent. Mr. Hunch him
self Is a director of tho McKlnhty
school board, and If ho wishes to
havo the supervisor dono away with
could head a petition to that ef
fect and work more effectively ub
a school board member than as 11
condldato for offico. It Is pre
sumed that tho school boards rec
ognize tho difficulty of aupurvlslng
