The county superintendent illd not think the examination papers were up to the required standard , nnd Issued young Ilolcomb n third grade certificate.

Then It wns found that the mistakes mndo by the gawky young teacher were most ridiculous and that the superintendent must have strained a point In allowing him even a third grnde certificate. The orlglnnl papers were pro duced at the meetings In the county nnd Ilolcomb was ridiculed by everybody until election day and was badly beaten In the rnce. Lincoln Idealo < cn.
