oincers In the choosing OF Capt. H. A.
Allen. who was at the head OF Company
n during the recent Spanish American
war, as one OF the three majors.
Capt. Aliens election is the source of
great satisfaction to his many friends
here, and will prove to be turnout the
state, Judging from the unanimity with
which his support was given. He was
considered. with Capt. G. s. Aldrich, Of
sMarshalltown, as the most popular
captain in the regiment, having the
universal respect OF not only his own
men, but those OF the other companies.
Capt. Allen, 1t will be remembered,
received enough votes to elect him at
the first election held some time ago.
but. there were three othera-Capt.
Rowell ofsTipton. Maj. Fisher OF Wa
ttterleo and Mai. Clapp OF Toledo-who
were above him in point OF numbers.
The three highest were chosen but
later Maj. Clapp was elected lieutenant
colonel, leaving vacancy in the ma
jorships. In the contest last night, IN
which Capt Allen was victorious, Capt.
Elzie G. Johnson OF Company NJ. Ma
squoketa, was the only contrasting can-
didate. The votes by companies. with
Company c, OF Cedar Rapids, to hear
from, is as follows:
Company A, Dubuque-Johnson, 80.
Company B. Waterloo-Allen. 80.
Company d. Charles City-Allen. 15
Company E., Independence-Allen 43.

Company K. Toledo-Johnson, 80.

This gives Capt. Allen total vote of
255 to Johnson's ninety-fouror ma
jority OF 16l. Company C's vote can not
possibly alter the result, II the COM
spany were Johnson company. but 1t is
not thought that that is the case Com
pany C's vote, 1t is thought, when re-
