tice of law. In September, 1905, he
was appointed deputy clerk of court
and left in charge of the affairs of the
office by Cliff B. West, who was COM
PEELED by failing health 10 leave his
Office and go to milder climate. In
the fall of the next year he was cleo
ted to the Office of clerk.
For two years now Mr.. Corlett has
served in that capacity and he has
proven himself to be well qualified
for the position. His efficient Ser
vice has been recognized by other
county clerks and he has been prom
inently identified with the State AS
sociation of Clerks of the district
court. Last year he was placed on
the program of the annual conven-
ton of that association to discuss
filing systems for the clerks office
and this year he was called upon to
respond to the address of welcome.
He was also given an additional hon

ceoded in re-arrangiDg the fixtures of
the office so as to exclude the public
from near the filing boxes and cases
and thereby has guarded against the
loss and displacement of papers
which had heretofore been a frequent
occurrence. He has enforced the rule
of receipting for all borrowed instru-
ments and has saved much of the
courts time in keeping court records
which has been a saving of both time
and labor and consequently he has
been able to devote considerable time
to looking after collections. The re-
suit of his work along that line was
shown in the report made to the
board of supervisors on money turned
over to the cOunt from the clerks
Office during the year. 1t was the
largest yearly collection ever made
by the clerk of courts in the history
of Mahaska county, being nearly
twice as large as the sum turned over
to the county from the same oince
three years ago.
Mr.. Carlett is an influential men,
Der of the First Presbyterian church
and of the Young Mems Christian
Association and is highly esteemed
as a consistent Christian. In private
and public life as well he is clean and
upright and has never been known to
stoop to unfair means to promote his
personal ambitions. Politically he is
a republican and he has always sup
ported the party's interests. A vote
for him for the Office of county clerk
will be but a recognition of merit
which is richly deserved.

LEROY E. coRLETT.
Republican Candidate For Clerk of
the District Court.

Leroy Corlett during the past two
years in his service as clerk of the
district court of Mahaska county, has
accomplished more for the interests
of the county in the Inauguration of
new systems for the keeping of re.
cords and in following up collections
than any one who has held that office
for years. But in making improve
ments and changes in the systems OF
the Office he has been conservative
and has considered the advice of
others, avoiding worthless fads and
aiming at all times to protect the
sanctity of the records. He has re-
ceived the cooperation and common
dation of the board of supervisors
and his methods have met with the
endorsement of the judges on the
bench and prominent attorneys of the
county as well as others who are con-
versant with the affairs of the of.

election on the republican ticket and
