There were two candidates: J. K. Tauch, recently removed from the office by the circuit court, and J. II. Hlack, wlio was petitioned to become a candidate by some so or more citizens. A spirited election was looked for as an active canvass had been made by both candidates. It resulted in a walk-away for Mr. Tauch by a vote of 84 to 52. Prior to balloting those present witnessed a most disgraceful exhi bition. It smacked more of a ward heelers' caucus at a corner grocery than a school meeting at which many ladies were present.
