TWO MEMBERS of the school board are to l>e electedTuesday. There are four candidates. All of them arejwell known in Seattle.

Two of them?Judge Richard Winsor and E. Shorrock?-have been on the l>oard for a number of years. Winsor is aliberal, Shorrock is conservative. The other two candidatesare Carl E. Croson and Dr. E. J. Brown.

The Star confesses a bit of embarrassment in indorsingthe candidacy of Mr. Croson, because he has lieen retainedon several occasions by The Star as it| attorney. The Star,however, had nothing to do with Mr. Croson's becoming acandidate. It did not know he was in the race, or intendedto get into the race, until after he had filed at the requestlof several civic organizations in Seattle* Croson is not con-nected with this newspaper in any editorial or business way;he has no control over Tne Star, and Thf Star has no stringson him.

The Star believes Croson will make good school boardmember for the same reasons that he wouldmake a good attorney for The Star. He is capable, ener-getic, interested in public affairs, life las had the experi-ence of teaching, and he had also bMB * school principal

Liberty loan speech in Seattle; he assistpd in other patrioticcampaigns, and tho exempt from the he enlisted as aprivate in the recent war. He is indorsed by the Boto dub,composed of veterans of the late war And also of the Span-ish-American war.

Judge Richard Wham's record on !the school !>oard hasbeen eminently satisfactory. The onlyobjection being raisedagainst him by opponents is that he fe too old now. JudgeWinsor is an old man, but he was an old man when he waselected three years ago, and he dcdaw.buna«iLsttt fit mu!capable to attend to school
