Whilo a certain element of citizen
! ship, said to be opposed to the pro
posal for a new high school building,
had for some time past been quietly
working to prevent the re-election of
Superintendent Smith, when the vote
was taken there was only one dissent
ing voice, that of Dr. I. D. I'hlpps. The
vote was 'by roll call. The members
of the school board are Mrs. E. E.
Kelly. John C. Mann. A. II. Cunning

to be held June 18tb next, which date
ment of tn oreanitatlon among
which were, less dependence on per

bers aud forced co-operation, the use
of coercion to get members to work.
Other fcUfrteMtlon.H.. were tho reclama
tion of dead heads by a process of
coercion and extortion and the eradi
cation of the "Satisfied With Oregon"
spirit. He gave Webster's definition
of satisfied. "Nothing more is
wanted."
At a mention of the new high
school building and the chamber's so
far indifferent attitude toward such
a project a burst of applause inter
rupted the debater and he was un
able to continue for several minutes
He explained the advantages of a new
high school building and tho Impor
tance tit the schools In a community.
In rebuttal Bragg had little to say
except that he was sure If the C ham
ber of Commerce received tho un
qualified support of the. peoplo of
Medford which it has not received In
the past, that his points would be
proven In practice.-
