The republican county central COM
m ittee last week decided to call the
county convention to elect delegates to
the senatorial convention, which will
be held at Calmar on Wednesday,

not to hold it during the busiest time
of the year for the farmers. The en-
tire list of county officers, including
five supervisors, will be nominated in
this convention, and from present in
dications, there will be enough can
didates to give us plenty of amusement
all along the line.

Late Friday night Ambrose Duffy
made an attempt to break into the
home of Mrs. M. Baker in South De.
corah, and hearing him she slipped out
of the door and ran over to the neigh
bors, who came to her assistance.
They found that Duffy had broken in
to the house, and kept him engaged in
conversation until police officer Rima,
who had been sent for, arrived, and
took him in tow. After placing him
in Jail they searched him. and found
that he had dress pattern concealed
in his clothing.
He was taken before Justice Gibson
yesterday afternoon for hearing, the
trial being held in one of the court
rooms at the court house, and was
bound over in bonds of $500 to await
the action of the next grand jury.

For County Superintendent.

We are autt orized this week to
publish the announcement of Prof H.
@. Moeller of Hesper as a candidate
before the coming republican county
convention for the Office of superinten-
dent of schools. Mr.. Moeller is a
gentleman in every way competent to
fill this exacting position. He attend
ed the DEBORAH Institute number of
years, graduating therefrom, and
then went to Minneapolis where he
attended the state university of Min
nesota two years, since which time he
has been principal of the schools of
Hesper, where his work has met with
the highest commentator and re-
election for the third year. If nomin-
ated and elected we believe he would
make an efficient and pa:nstaking
official.

Opportunity For Big Distillery Here.

With the passage of the denaturized
alcohol bill by congress many Iowa
cities are seriously considering the
feasibility of establishing distilleries
to manufacture this product The pur-
pose of the bill is to make feasible the
manufacture and sale of denaturized
alcohol in competition with gasoline,
kerosene, etc., and it seems to us that
here is an excellent opportunity for a
manufacturing plant in DEBORAH that
will both employ labor and consume
the products of the farms of the
county. The old Addicken brewery
would make splendid distillery, or
the old wooden mill or Ammon. Scott
foundry could be utilized, it seems,
with but slight repairs. Why not look
into this matter little

Concrete Work Commenced on Dam.

After several weeks of excavating at
the site of the Upper Iowa Power
Co. S dam seven miles down the river,
work was commenced Monday on the
putting in of the concrete work Of the
dam. While there has been some
delay in getting the steel, the work
will from now on be pushed forward
rapidly. The base of the dam has
been set fourteen feet below the bed of
the river, in order to make it alb
solutely solid, and the dam will ex-
tend least twenty feet above the
present river level, which will give
an immense power. 1t will be fifty
feet wide at the base and one hundred
and fifty feet long. The cofferdam
and excavation upon which they have
been working is on the west side OF
the river, and directly on top OF the
dam on this side will be the power
house. When this is completed the
water will be permitted to flow
through this part of the dam, and then
a cofferdam built across the east side
and similar excavation made.

There seems to be at least way for
part of the county to get out of
using or paying for the voting
machines ordered recently by the
Board of Supervisors. Since an
nouncement was made of the purchase
of these machines, practically every
one in the county has censured the
Board of Supervisors for making the
purchase. Several different lawyers
have been examining the laws of the
state carefully to see if there was not
some way to evade the expense.
To Supervisor Ben E. Jewell, the
representative of the city of DEBORAH,
DEBORAH and Madison townships, who
voted against the proposition and
opposed it from the start, and his
attorney, Dan Shea, belongs the credit
for finding a way to dispense with
about third of the machines.
1t has been the opinion of Mr..
Shea from the beginning that while
the Board of Supervisors had power
over the elections outside of the in
corporated cities and towns, they have
no dictatorial power over the latter,
and that they consequently have no
right to purchase and COMPEL the in
corporated cities and towns to use
voting machines if said cities and
towns do not want them. After con-
sidering the matter thoroughly Mr..
Shea referred the question to AttOr-
ney General @. w. Mullan of this
state, who rendered an opinion in
accordance with the views of Mr..
Shea, as is outlined in the correspon-
dence between these two gentleman
printed below.
1t would certainly seem by this that
at least portion of this unwarrant-
ed expense can be avoided. At least
it will bear thorough investigation.

temporary relief. Foley's Honey and

DEBORAH, Iowa.


DEBORAH, Iowa.
Dear SIR
In reply to your enquiry as to the
powers and duties of the Board of
Supervisors in the matter of the pur-
chase and use of the voting machines
l have this to say:
The authority and powers conferred
upon the board of supervisors upon
this question are contained in Chapter
ga, of Title of the Code, and
under fair construction Of that law
am of the opinion that the board
of supervisors have neither the right,
authority or power to purchase and
order the use of such machines,
either in the city of DEBORAH or any
of the incorporated towns within the
county. In my judgment it is wholly
within the power of the city and town
councils to purchase and direct the use
of voting machines in their respective
interpretations, if they so choose.
while the board of supervisors have
the power and authority only to pur-
chase for and direct the use of such
machines in voting precincts outside
of such incorporated cities and towns.
This question never having been
presented to the courts however, and
wishing to be more sure of my premises
for Offering the above opinion, 1 here
with enclose you letter which wrote
to the Attorney General of Iowa, to-
gether with his reply.

length / will say that it seems clear
to me that the construction which
must be placed upon chapter 3-A. of
title of the code, is that each incor-
porated city or town must determine
for itself whether it will purchase
and use voting machines and that the
board of supervisors must determine
whether such machines shall be
purhased for and used in the election
precincts outside of the Incorporated
cities and towns in the county.

law by the courts. 1 am,

G. W. Mullan.
Attorney General,
Des Moines, Iowa.
Dear SIR
The Board of Supervisors of this,
Winnesheik, county having purchased
voting machines for the twenty seven
voting precincts in the county, and
much opposition to the use thereof
having arisen, in behalf of some of
the incorporated towns in the county,
/ desire your opinion upon the follow
ing questions, to-wit:
1. What construction do you place
on Chapter ga, of Title 6, of sup
plement to the Code, as to the right of
the Board of Supervisors to purchase
these machines for cities and incOr-
porated towns?
Q. Under a fair construction of
that Chapter is it not within the
power of town or city council solely
to purchase these machines II they so
desire for the use of such municipality?
3. II the power lies with the city
and town council solely, to purchase
these machines. then can these cities
and incorporated towns be compelled
by the Board of Supervisors to use the
machines at an election under Section
1137-B of Chapter ga. aforesaid?
do not find that the courts have
construed this law in regard to the use
of these machines and as the authori-
ties in some of these incorporated towns
are DESTROYS of knowing their rights in
the matter, either for or against the
use of the machines, take the liberty
OF addressing you with view of
ascertaining their rights therein and
