"We, the legal voters of School District Number 1, in caucus assumed to place in nomination three candidates for membership in the Board of Education, do hereby submit for the consideration of one fellow electors of said district, the following enunciation of principles; we pledge our nominees to their support, and call upon all voters in sympathy with their spirit to aid in the election of our candidates at the polls on next Monday.

"1. We favor the application of the principle of publicity to all the acts of our servants on the Board of Education; we recall that, during the past year, we are indebted to this principle for saving to the district the abilities of a teacher grown gray in its service and universally beloved for his scholarly attainments and his personal worth.

"2. We believe that members of our Board of Education are answerable for their acts as trustees to the legal voters of the district, not one to another, nor any minority however small to any majority however great; and we deprecate the passage of any resolution of censure upon any member of said Board by his fellow members for giving to the public information which the public had undoubted right to know."

The following caucus committee was appointed with Instructions to call the caucus next year: Thomas A. Bogle, H. J. Brown and George Apfel.
