Emmet Eder in his bid for the position of State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has been working in several different ways to help Mr. Eiler win the nomination of the Republican Party at their convention in Indianapolis later this month. This effort, carried on by members of b th parties, now has done what they have set their goal to do until convention time is here, and it is now up to the members of the party and their delegates. The delegates to the state convention are elected by the people to express the views of those who ele< t them, the voters. Now the votu< should express their feelings towards this matter to their delegates before the convention rolls around. Mr. Eiler came to Walkerton at the start of the 1956-57 school and served Walkerton and Lincoln Township as Supei intendent of Schools until voted in as County Superintendent of Schools following the sudden death off Mr. Kelsay last fall.

done many other things in his capacity as superintendent, too numerous to mention. Now he is seeking this public office of Superintendent of Public Instruction of Indiana. He nee Is the support of Walkerton and is getting a good share of it through this committee mentr ned above. However, the voteis can lend their support by asking their delegates to support him at the convention. When running for this office at the convention, he is on his own until he is successfully nominated. The support of the committee has been very gratifying and helpful.

He would then oppcee the man winning the democratic nomination for the same office in the fall election.
