Editok News: Seeing an article in your paper yesterday morning from one who like many had to buy some books for their children, and in all probability, found the price of the same to be rather high, wanted to fault some one, and thought I would be a good subject. Or, it may be ignorance of the law. At any rate Frank lioberson in to blame tor the whole tiling.

Now I am willing to bear blame for all my mistakes, but for 116 one else. I do not like to answer an article written by someone unknown to me. And as it now is, must think only the words said, and not of the writer, and will try and hew to the line, tlf the writer will read up the law under which Kingman aow is governed a city of the second class she will find the county superintendent does not in any way govern the city schools; that a teacher holding a certificate signed by him is not allowed even to teach in the city schools; that the adoption of a uniform system of books by the county has nothing whatever to do with the city of Kingman; that the city of Kingman is governed by a board of education, consisting of eight members, who have sole control Work at the gas well still continues quested to be present, as important The News is ready and willing to apologize for the use of the expression, under promise not to refer even indirectly to it again during the campaign, but yesterday the republican "political Eot was boiling."

Some candidates even asked apparently many friends to breakfast, but as this was considered only the proper caper, all things considered, no charge of bribery was decided to lie.

During the forenoon and even up1 to the hour of meeting at the opera house at 2 p. the crowds on the streets, constantly augmenting, continually twisted, squirmed and yelled "hello," as they were towed by sections around an immediate corner.

J. W. Aiton gave as the substance of his belief that republicans should be republicans. That told the whole story. It was to the interest of the democratic party of Kingman to see a weak ticket nominated and of the republicans to provide that it was correspondingly i strong.

W. L. Brown made a rabble-rousing speech in favor of the local ticket in particular and "Jim" Blaine in general. The mention of the "magnetic man" was received enthusiastically. At this point the assemblage being reasonably worn out by the combination of heat and east wind Was relieved by the appearance of the report of the committee on credentials.

I have been honored by the board as a member of two committees, one being building couimitee, and the other teacher's committee. I think all of this "spleen" was called forth by the fact that the children of this indignant woman, (was near saying ignorant) have all learned so fast that they all had to be promoted to a higher grade, and she was called on to buy new books for them. (From the bill spoken of $5, she must have about two children, as it would have cost $2.50 for my one, had I bought them new.) Had they remained in the same room, not being promoted, as her ideas have of Kingmen as city of the third class, they would need no new books, and the mother would be happy.

I am glad the children are more progressive than the mother. What I do as county superintendent has nothing whatever to do with the fice: chickens of mother Goose. are very dangerous.

Filley announced that the convention was iu the hands of the various candidates, all of whom were crazy to be seen and heard.

Of course he denied that the selection of his republican opponent had anything to do with the condition of his feelings, but the compositors thought otherwise. Yesterday in the district court in the matter of II.C. Godown vs. M.E. Hass, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant.

This gives my relation to this matter of text books.

B. Rhodes said he appeared as a republican, and not as a particularly old resident. He had been an old soldier, however, and lie knew that no man on the footstool could assert that he ever used him unfairly or dishonestly. He would like the nomination and if successful would endeavor to bear his honors meekly. I.

W. Rush remarked that he was endeavoring to get there with both feet, but if he failed to "light straight" he wished it understood that he was a republican just the same. He, had fought for the party four years; he believed his record while acting as county commissioner was above reproach. Willis was withdrawn priorto the vote. Chairman Filley, announced the withdrawal of the name of F.

C. Leach and the ballot resulted: Rush, 49; Hawkins, 345 White, Van Horn, Raymond, 3. Owing to the closeness of the last ballot the excitement was intense and after a few moments permitted to allow the smart men to withdraws the names of J. R. Van Home and Lyman Raymond were dropped from the list.

The vote resulted: Rush 55; Hawkins, 42; White Raymond Van Horn 4. On motion of O. P.

The firm of James S.Hutchins& is having a larger run of custom than at anytime within the past six months. This increase of trade is largely due to the fact that they have just opened a complete stock of the very latest and most fashionable gent's furnishing goods.

These were selected with the greatest care and are offered at astonishingly low prices. The idea of all wool, hand-made suits selling at from $15 to $25 is remarkable. Besides the unequaled bargains offered the polite and courteous salesman, King Melone, is off the jury and again at his old post.

Harry Graves believed himself thoroughly competent and made the regulation promises that in case he should be successful, he would be faithful, honest and endeavor to treat all parties J. J. Stevens asked the indulgence of the party for two more years, after whom "Charley" Rickman appeared and was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers yet awarded by the convention.

He promised faithfully to fulfill the duties of the office of county clerk, as well as he did when he was "in" before. Messrs. Durant and Day, candidates for treasurer, and Raymond for register then spoke their little pieces, the latter taking the precidence as the name as a candidate for register of deeds. He did so in a neat speech and with the lull assurance of not less than ten delegates to start with but felt that final success was hardly a possibility under the circumstances and so referred to leave the field open.
