Sisseton SD Sept 1 119 Editor reply to county board clash over county superintendent of schools position. Letter argues vacancy existed since January and criticizes salary pay while law states no one may hold office beyond four years. Includes rebuttals about legal opinions and calls for fairness in school governance.
The piece questions Jones resignation to aid his successor in education policy, alleging he seeks salary for kindness and cites past attacks on a defamed woman and a court suit against the school board. It notes Wing’s election and questions of certificates, asserting Jones knew his term limits and manipulated certification to block Gee.
The STANDARD announces a popular voting contest with a $400 upright grand Waldorf piano as the prize. Nominating blanks are printed for readers to name popular county girls, mailed to the office, providing a chance to win the piano. Local names mention Henry Thorson family visiting, O Lien in the city, Mr. Jones returning to Iowa, and Lampke's Lampke store in Sisseton selling apples and crabapples next week.
