OECUMI CF i ous as 1 TO SCHOOL AFFAI2S Kditor Gazette: The undersigned citizens and taxpayers are candidates for the office of school directors, in West Pittston borough. We have come to the conclusion that the people demand a change in the administration of our public schools and that the af fairs of the school district this year, in a larger sense and as never before, are the affairs of all the people; inasmuch as under the new school code an entire school board of seven mem bers must be elected this year.

There fore, we have adoptcdthe ftdlowinf declaration of principles: We favor economy in the ad ministration of the business affairs of the public schools, a retrenchment that will find expression in the reduction of taxes; but not a parsimonious economy, that will impair the effici ency of the schools. If. We shall insist that all meet ings of the school board shall be open sessions," where any citizen may come and listen to the deliberations of the board and where he may feel that he has a standing invitation, at the proper time, to make suggestions to the board for the betterment of existing conditions. III. Wc opposed to frequent changes in the text books for the public schools.

We realize in this advanced age of education, no radical improve ment can possibly Jje made in a text book, such as would warrant frequent changes, if a change of text books be deemed expedient, at proper intervals, such changes should be made with the sole idea in view, that it is done for the benefit of the student body, and that student body alone. IV. We advocate the placing of suitable park benches on the grounds of the school property, along the sidewalk liney. Relieving that it would contribute to the welfare ami happiness; and lie a lasting benefit to our towns people. With the co operation of the' borough authorities, we feel, that this could be satisfactorily accomplished, and be made entirely practicable.

W. DEKSHIMKR, WILSON M. OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT FOR HON NOMINATION An impetus was given the Brcnton campaign during the past few days that makes his prospects ot winning a place on the nepuoncan iickci ior county commissioner, almost positive Brcnton has, come: out on a platform that will win him. hundreds of votes He has declared or good roads ju diciously distributed throughout the countv. and for a more equitable tax lssessment.

Recent reports irom Wil kesbarre are to the effect that the slate makers, after flirting with for several weeks in the hope of tieing him up on appointive prom Ises, have branded him an anti gang man and have decided to ump him 'off their slate. The rank and file of the Republican party, whose oi indifference over the Republican party welfare is an indication of their disgust with political gang rule, claim this move on the part of the slate makers is one of the best things that could happen to the Brcnton campaign, and that it will land hiin a host of new friends, practically assuring him ono of the places on the ticket. All that now remains is for the home friends of Brenton to rally enthusiastically to his support. It should be an easy matter for him to get at least 1,000 votes in the borough of West Pittston, and as many more in Pittston City. In Duryea, a big vote promised this popular candidate, and Hughestown, Avoca, and Wyoming send highly encouranging reports.

The upper end of the county is going solidly for Brenton, and this will bring him into Wilkesuarrc witn a splendid start. Few men among, the host of candidates hAve done more active work in the interest of the Republican party in Luzerne county during the past twenty five years than have W. C. Brenton. He has always been one of the leading party porkers in the Garden Village, and has many times been selected as a delegate to represent his district in county and legislative conventions.

One of his first votes as a delegate in a county convention was it. the old days when Thomas W. Haines was first nominated for county commissioner, Brenton was also an enthusiastic Henry W. Palmer delegate. In addition to this party work, Brenton has at all times been active in borough affairs in his heme town, and time and again he has been honored with places on the municipal bodies of AVest Pittston.

As a tribute to his public spiritedness and splendid service as a servant of the borough, Mr. Brenton has been honored with two terms as chief bur gess, three terms as a councilman, and four terms as. a school director, or twelve years he served as treasurer of the school district. The people of the Garden Village have thoroughly tried Mr. Brenton in public office and found he has always met the re quirements satisfactorily.

For the office of county commissioner Mr. Bron" ton has superior qualifications. His temperament as a. man, and his calm, sound business judgment, especially fit him for this the leading business office in the county. Mr.

Brenton deserves the loyal support of every Republican in the upper end of the county, particularly in West Pitts J. D. DELAHUNTY. Leading Grocer of West Choice I'rcsli Produce. Crisp Celery.
