CONVENTION IN DEADLOCK
Hundred and Eighty-Nine Ballots
Taken Without a Nomination.
NO FAVOR FOR DARK HORSES
Withdrawal Of A. w. Cook, the Mills
County Candidate. Only Incident
of Note iR BRIIotins of
the Day.

After taking ISs ballots and there being
no immediate signs Of te deadlock being
broken, the republican convention OF the
Fifteenth judicial district adjourned last
evening until this morning when 1t is eN-
pected a candidate as successor TO Judge
N. w. Macy of Harlan will be named.
with the exception Of the withdrawal
from the contest OF A. f. Cook OF Malvern,
the candidate from Mills county, after the
l57th ballot. there was practically no ehange
in the situation when the convention ad-
journed at SIS p. m. until this morning.
Al various times during the balloting the
names OF several dark horses were
brought out by the Pottawattamie county
delegation in an effort TO break the dead
lock. but the convention refused to be stan
peded.
On the sixty-seventh ballot W, c. Rat
cliff. county attorney of Montgomery
county and secretary OF the convention. re.
ceived one vote. On the next ballot he
received four and then on the sixty-nintt
ballot -Pottswattamie. county cast It's entir,
twenty-eight votes for Ratcliff. on the
next joint ballot RAtcliff again received tbs
twenty-eight votes from Pottawattami'
county, but after this his boom met with
sudden death and the dark horse from
Montgomery county faded from the lime

Democratic Members Give Him the
Necessary Four Votes.

At the annual meeting of the Board or
Education last night j. ], Hughes was
elected secretary by four votes as against
three for Dillon Ross, who has held the
position for several years. The election
was by secret ballot and It is presumed
that Mr.. Hughes received the votes OF the
four democratic members, President Tin
ley. Schoedsack, Capell and Reed, while
Mr.. Ross had the votes of the three re-
publican members, Killpack, Shugart and
Elliott. Mr., Hughes is chairman of the
democratic city central committee and
member Of the state democratic committee
from the Ninth district.
The salary of the new secretary was
not fixed, as it was suggested that it would
be economy for the board to consolidate
the positions of secretary to the board and
secretary to the superintendent. Mr. Ross
as secretary of the board received $50 a
month for the entire year, while Miss Glib
bons as secretary 10 the superintendent re-
celved $50 a month for ten months. AS
Miss Gibson has already been reelected to
the position OF secretary to the superin-
tendent and Mr.. Hughes was elected as
secretary to the board, it is not plain, as
Member Killpack suggested, how the board
can now consolidate the two positions.
Reuben Herner was reelected as truant

As the financial committee desired more
time to investigate the financial needs of
the school district, the matter of fixing
the amount needed for the maintenance
Of the school for the ensuing year to be
raised by tax levy was deferred TO a
meeting to be held later in the month.
The following report made by Secretary
Ross shows the present condition Of the
school finances;

the question of a nomination than it was

Arthur Near Nomination.
At one time during the morning session
it looked as If a break in the direction
of Arthur the Harrison county candidate.
was imminent. on the seventy-ninth bal
lot, which was the sixteenth following
the adjournment Tuesday afternoon,
Audubon cast its eight votes solid for
Arthur, while POttawattamie county gave
him twenty-five out of its tw~enty-eight,
it's other three votes going, two to Bee
son, the Montgomery candidate, and one
to Rockafellow, the Cass county candi-
date. The vote Of Shelby county would
have given Arthur the nomination. as he
only lacked ten of the required fifty-five,
but Shelby stuck by its candidate, George
Cullison. on the next ballot Arthur went
back to his former position in the con-
test and the furry was over for the time
being. THE highest vote Arthur secured
during the rest of the day was forty on
the 1S4th ballot.
Beeson, the montgomery county candi-
date received forty-three votes on the
nth and 18TH ballot. on the 1880 bal
lot he went from 10 to AZ and up to the
18th ballot had forty-seyen votes. as
against thirty-four for Arthur. After that
he did not get beyond the AZ mark.
Rockafellow of Cass county was high
man several times during the balloting.
but at no time did he receive over thirty
one votes.
Cullison's normal vote was sixteen, al
though on the l5Oth ballot he led with
thfrty-three votes, but on the very next
ballot he went back TO sixteen.
Cooks highest vote at any time yesterday
was twenty-five. but from the 137th TO the
l57th ballot, following which he withdrew
from the contest, his vote remained sta
tionary at nine.
Late last night at the Grand hotel, where
most Of the delegates c~ongregated, 1t was
stated that the situation was unchanged
and that no break in the lineup OF counties
had been reported.

On the 1929 ballot Pottawattamie county
injected the name of e. b. Woodruff, a
member of the Mills county bar, into the
convention by giving him four votes. Mr.,
Woodruff remained in the field until the
l53d ballot. when Pottawattamie county
changed it's eight votes from him 10 w

ever, after two ballots, and for three more
ballots Pottawattamie county gave Mr.,

TO stampede the convention failed to work

any circumstances and asked that his
wishes be compiled with, ard his name wa.
not mentioned.

know how they were constructed
They were about four acres II e1-

races to height Of 500 feet, and
it is said that they looked from a
distance ike a great pyramid cover

owed their existence TO the whIm Of

ON HOME STRETCH.
Last Week for Selecting Republican
National Convention Delegates.

Candidates for the prizes at the
Chicago Republican convention have
entered the home stretch By Satur-
day night every delegate will have
been chosen.
Under the convention call the time
for electing delegates was limited to
at least 30 days before the opening of
the convention. This week California
Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan Mon
tana, North Dakota, Oregon Texas
and Washington will name their del
egates-at-large, and district delegates
will be chosen in number of other
states-in all 1913.
Men regarded as independent of the
present fight between Secretary Taft
and the allies" say that while ma
jority of the delegates to the conven-
ton will lean Taftward, the secre-
tary of war on Saturday night will
not have a majority instructed FOR
him and uncontested.
Should this prove TO be correct,
tremendous pressure will be brought
to bear on the uninstructed delegates.
