COUNTRY Gains
TOWNS LOSE
Democrats Probably Carry
County by 200 Majority
Their Ticket Elected Except Sam
O'Hare WhosRuns Behind in Every
Precinct.

The vote, OF yesterday was light. The
democrats show net gains over last
year, when the county entrepublican.
in all the towns heard from, while in
the country the republican vote is the
largest it has ever been. The country
precincts are always the last heard
from and SO republican prospects are
growing brighter throughout the day.
The republican county ticket shows
great fluctuations in localities with the
exception of Klinker who is making
steady gains in every precinct
Jackson gives the smallest democra-
tic majority Q5) in its history and
Klinker carries the township by
votes. Goodrich shows an increased
republican vote of II over last year
In Denison the scratching was some
thing frightful, John Cook received
the independent vote because he was a
Denison man and John Holland re-
ceived the Irish vote, Koenekamp ran
with his ticket, Klinker has the honor
of carrying Denison by the largesq
majority of any county candidate for
many years. while Conner BREAKS all
records with q bumper majority of 229.
1t is believed that Mr.. Conner will
carry the county by a good majority
thus receiving.a splendid nonpartisan
endorsement from his home county.
The REVIEW reserves additional
comment until later issue. While dis.
appointed in the results it compli-
ments the republican candidates upon
the fact that nearly every one of them
ran ahead of his ticket Especially
those candidates who made special
effort before the people. The election
of a partisan board is mistake which
the people will regret. The election
OF McKim was another mistake.
Mr. Dieter has the glory of defeat.

COURT HOUSE
is CARRIED
Voters Order a New $4,000
Building.
About 500 Majority in the County
Charter Oak, Vail and 2S Demo-
crats Against.

The people rejoice to-day that the
court house proposition has been
carried by about 500 majority.
Charter Oak and Vail seemed to be the
only towns in the county to give the
proposition a black eve. Manila. Dow
City, West Side and the other towns
OF the county did splendidly. There
were 2S votes against the court
house in Denison. This means
that Crawford is no longer to
be disgraced by the old hulk that
mas served as court house for many
generations. We believe that when
tae new building is erected the people
will be well satisfied and that even
those who voted against it will be glad
in their hearts that Crawford is among
the progressive counties of the state.
Denison is naturally elated, it will
| beautify the town and it insures busy
season and good times for Denison
people next year. The building of the
court house and the Carnegie library
together with the many private i'm
provements contemplated will make
next summer busy one for all artisans
and will make Denson one of the finest
appearing cities in Iowa. The victory
was non partisan one and no party
lines seem to have been drawn on the
matter in any part of the county. The
vote outside OF Denison was but slight
ly against the court house and the
handsome majority in the city was
enough to carry it by larger vote
| than had been at all expected. We
trust that the board will take immedi-
ate steps toward the erection of the
building and that there will be no
doubt when the building is completed
but that the voters obtained the worth
of their money.

TEXTILE WORKERS ADJOURN.
Officers Chosen and Resolutions Adopt
ed Regarding Children's Labor.

The labor of children in the south was
the topic of discussion yesterday afternoon
at the session of the first annual conyen-
ton of the United Textile Workers of
America. held at Typographical Temple.
which came to a close last evening after
adopting resolutions bearing on that sub
ject. eecting officers for the ensuing year
and selecting Philadelphia Pa, as the place
for its next annual meeting.
The question was brought to the attention
of the body by a northern delegate who
cited the conditions existing in the northern
states compared with those of the south
He pointed out that in Massachusetts the
rule applying to children demands that they
be over fourteen years of age, and must
bring with them permit from the public
school authorities before they can enter
factory to work In the south, 1t was de-
clared, the children are started to work at
the age of six and seven years, and they
are not required to show certificate from
school officials.
After a discussion of the question resoIu-
lions were unanimously adopted to the eff
feet that the organization shall do all in its
power to abolish child labor in the mills Of
the southern states. For the purpose of in
vestigating the situation, and to accomplish
as much as possible at this time, action
was taken providing for the appointment
of agent of the association, who will
undertake the work of more thoroughly or
ganiZng the textile workers of the southern
states
The organization also adopted resou-
ton urging a reduction in the hours of la
Dor In the south. The per capita tax was
left at cents per quarter, the proposition
to increase it to 10 cents meeting strong
opposition.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, James Tansey of Fail
