SWT A CANDIDATE, •w
An Interview with Prof. Salimitt,, the
Opposition Nominee*
Schmitt of Jamestown1, nomi­
nee for state superintendent on the
Opposition ticket, was a caller at the
Republican office last Friday. He
was on his way home from conduct
ing, a summer school at Forman, and
went north on* the Northern Pacific
Friday afteruoon.
After introducing himself as Mr.
Schmitt, city superintendent of
schools at Jamestown ha was asked:
"You are the populist candidate
lor state superratendent?"
"No, I am not, a candidate, I am
the nominee, I will admit. I received
a telegram while sit Elleadale asking
me if I would accept, and before I
could get a reply- to the commit tee
that made the nominaticB.s they had
adjourned andigone horn^.: I notified
the committee that, I would- not ac
cept the nomination, and. they re
quested me to wait until after they
bad met again before withdrawing.
I will do this but if I follow my own
inclination I shall .withdraw. I have
a very good position whore I *im, as
city superintendent of sohools at
Jamestown. If She state superinten
dence- were only out of-.' politics I
would not object to- accepting if there
any assurance that I. could have
the place long enough to t:ceomplish
something. But to give up. what I
have now got, and go into this polit
ical fight, where I. have certainly got
to get trom ten to fifteen thousand
republican votes-to bo elected, and
then q^nly for a two years term, I
really can't see may thing .in -it for me.
Mr. llaliand has-made the best sup
erintendent the state has ever had,
and lor the educational interest of
the* state it would be a pity, to make .
a-, change."
'"•Then you hasw not, withdrawn?"
'-Not, exactlyI.believ&I have to-•
life a withdrawal- in some f-orm with
the officials at Bismarck.. I have not
done so- yet. I .will meet with the
committee at Fargo next- wnek, and
jhave promised not to do. this until
jafter tiaat meeting. This4s all I care
feo say about, iJu If you.soy anything
about me, saj.I.aai, the- nominee,if
you wish to, but, please-do not say
that 1 am a candidate."
''B,«st if
ycm
should:raa andgetsthe
election harj&j'ou anything new. or
novol to inaugurate inte, the adminis
tration of the. affaiiR-of- the office?"
"No, I can't say. that. I have. The
inducement is being,lie-Id out to. me
that on .account of the scandalous
stories regarding. Ma 11 and I could
gat. republican votes, enough t© elect
nie. But uvea, then, I should feel.
that I bad boen elected by s&publi
QIIU
votes, and. would necessarily have
,to act 5u harmony with the republican*
jjaduiinistration, ofi the state.. I don't:,
that 3. could: make any inaprovment:.
in the administration of the office.,
and for the shaft time I would be»
these it would hardly be worth while
trying. Our educational, iuterests-ia
the stata are. in very good shape, but
of course there is room, for improve
ment, and perhaps thee© always will
be."
Mr.. Schmitt is a fine looking man,
'and would be taken for a clergyman
in a crowd any wher®. If he should,
happeu to be the next state superin
tendent he would no doubt continue
to be what he is today, an educator
instead of a calamity politician. The
Opposition have choson more wisely
than they knew.
