Smith and Marcum Wish to Succeed Selves, TALK OF A DARK HORSE Rumor Says Unknown Candidate May Appear At Polls If Heavy Vote Is Not Foreseen. WOMEN MAY CAST BALLOTS All Over Twenty-One Years of Age Have Right to Exercise Their Full Franchise. Drs. E. H. Marcum and E. H. Smith will come before the people of Be- midji at an election tonight to deter- mine whether or not they shall con- tinue to hold their seats on the school board. The election will be held in the Central school at 7 p. m. Friends of Mrs. T. J. Andrews and Mrs. Gertrude Rogers have been urging them to appear as active can- didates but neither of them have made any campaign. Mrs. Andrews refused to allow her name to be con- sidered as she does not care for the office. Mrs. Rogers stated Friday that she was not an active candidate neither would she withdraw in favor of any one else. Drs. Smith and Marcum have each served on the board six years and have been instrumental in keeping the schools out of politics. Both wished to retire at the end of their present terms, claiming that profes- sional duties kept them busy. Their friends, however, urged them to try for another term as their familiarity with the work of the schools would be of material assistance to the board the coming year. During the past two days, there has been much talk of a dark horse but no one seems willing to venture the name of the animal. It is said that the friends of this person intend to go to the polls in force and that if there is a possible opportunity they will vote as a unit for their can- didate. Under the laws of Minnesota, women over the age of twenty-one are eligible to vote in this election. STATE SHOOT AT WARROAD.
