Emmetsburg Board Defends South Side School Consolidation
The Emmetsburg school board and supporters defend the consolidation of the South Side and East Side primary schools citing declining attendance and the need for economical use of funds. Critics led by Miss Donovan allege misleading testimony, but the board asserts the record shows careful investigation, with Miss Donovan accused of coaching an attorney and pushing biased narratives while many families still send children across tracks to multiple schools.

Republicans Fill Ticket After Reluctant County Committee
The Republican county central committee met Monday and nominated Miss Ida Johnson of Ruthven for county superintendent and J A Slater for clerk. Most members opposed filling the ticket, echoing a June convention vote, but Henry Beckman and J C Bennett pressed the motion. The decision surprised many as the Democratic convention did not field candidates for treasurer, recorder, auditor, or coroner, and the party’s earlier stance suggested no canvass.

Primary action splits county Republicans
The item criticizes the primaries as unfair to supporters who canvassed. It notes Carterney will soon be in court and unavailable to engage voters. It questions how Republicans will accept Monday’s decision and suggests the June convention’s four-fifths vote against filling the ticket should carry weight.

Message to county central committee on filling the ticket
The Tribune pressed the republican county central committee Monday during their session to fill the county ticket. Frank Clark attempted to deliver a message to Mr Beckman who urged him to enter and convey it. Beckman, a staunch republican, appeared reluctant but persisted in urging ticket filling. The public deserves to know the message’s substance.
