Day Expire Latter Nol a Candidate Mr. Chas. E. Henderson Announces Candidacy, The annual school election which is to be held on Monday, the 18th of June, will cause all first class dis tricts, such as La Grande, to elect two directors this year, instead of one as formerly. The term of directors in districts of the first class 'has always been five years, with five directors, but the last legislature amended the law making the term three years, as in all other classes of districts, but retaining five directors. Mr. Day Retires. Mr. J. E. Reynolds, the present chairman of the local school board, has served five years, and Mr. L. P. Day, residing at 1901 U avenue, has served four years, and therefore the terms of Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Day expire at this time. While no definite statement has been secured from Mr. Reynolds, it is generally regarded as certain that he will accept re-election. Mr. Day, however, has stated he would not be a candidate and today he reiterated his declination, although stating his pleasure in working with his fellow directors during his ser vice of five years, one by appoint ment and four by election. Mr. Day has been the only representative on the board of the large and populous section of the district surrounding the Greenwood r.nd Rivera schools. Chas. E. Henderson Announces. Mr. Chas. E. Henderson, a carpen ter "residing at 1801 V avenue, was today presented with a petition of his neighbors and fellow-residents of the same section of the district as now represented by Mr. Day. asking him to become a candidate for the place made vacant by the retirement of the latter, and has consented. Mr. Hen derson stated he had been in no sense a candidate but has yielded to the representations of his neighbors and will appreciate the support of all hav ing confidence in him and wishing to grant to each portion of the district representation upon this important board. His only platform, he states, is that he desires an economical and businesslike policy pursued in the handling of the business of the dis trict, and the usefulness of the schools extended as far as can be economical- i ly done. "I wish to add that in be j coming a candidate I have not done i so with any desire or intention, if 'elected, to reward any friends or pun- i mh any enemies. As far as T know, I conditions are in good running order ! and I shall approach changes or de partures with caution."
