WOULD DEFEAT
MR. WITTENBERG
It . has . been generally assumed that
Herman Wittenberg will be re-elected
to the school board in the school elec
tion next Monday,1 without th slightest
opposition, and o far as the general
public la aware there has not been even
a suggestion of -rival candidate. It
is reported, however, that a schem - is
on foot to spring a dark horse candidate
at the eleventh hour and to effect , an
organisation .which, .with th jlght; vote
usually polled In school elections, shall
b sufficient to elect him. .
This "covert attempt to defeat Mr.
Wittenberg is said to spring from dif
ferences that have existed in the school
board' between him and Richard Wil
liams, -one of his fellow directors. In
deed, Williams is credited with being
one of the authors of the plan.
Soma time ago Mr. Wittenberg de
cided that he would not serve another
term on the school board, and so informed
several of his friends. He was so
strongly ' urged, however, to reconsider
His decision that ; he finally consented
to - become a . candldata - for re-election
Richard William made overtures to. the
Republican machine in the hope of se--curing
Its sanction and aid la th plan
to defeat Wittenberg, but th leader
refused to entertain the suggestion.
. Whether Williams and. hla friends
have abandoned their purpose, -or
whether they- , ar , still Intending to
spring another candidate on the day of
election, ts not known. ?, They have, held
several Informal meetings and have dls
cussed prominent ' citlsens as possible
candidates against WHtenberg. Dr.
Dava-Raffety, vJudgiBelllnger, H. ,H.
Newhall and A ,W.i Lambert are among
those that have been mentioned.

Wittenberg, but denies that he has had

about his defeat ' . , '
