Recount Was Fair.


The recount, or rather investigation
OF the ballots, as made yesterday af-
ternoon and evening was done in all
fairness and no one could find any
OBJECTIONS to the way it was conducted.
Both sides had the same access to
the ballots and all of those taking
part had the same chance to examine
each nd every ballot and lay aside
any to which they might object.
AS many disputed ballots were laid
aside by one as by another and neither
e took any advantage over the
sorting of the ballots.
Ballots incorrectly marked we're
laid aside no matter for whom they
had been counted, the men conducting
the recount paying no attention to the
names on the slips of paper. but con-
sidering the marking only. Mr.. Craig
laid aside votes which had been
counted for Off and Mr.. Sawyer laid
aside votes which had been counted
for Sterne, just the same as he laid
aside any others.
Two piles of ballots were made. I'M
disputed ones and disputed ones and
these were not counted until each
ward had been finished The ballots
were then resealed, the two piles in
separate envelopes.

The count made showed that about
the same number of ballots were cast
as reported by The Gate City no night
of election. There being 1,491 for
Sternc and 1,494 for Off. Two mis-
takes were found, which offset each
other but still gave Off a majority of
8 by counting all Illegal ballots as well
as the legal ones.

A Fair Proposition.

Mr.. sterne suggested this morning
that he would be willing for these dis.
puted ballots to be gone over by a
committee instead of by the city
council, each side to select one man
and the third man to be democrat
selected by Mr. Sterne. Let these
three men go over these illegal ballots
and divide them as they determined
and this to decide the contest without
an further controversy.
He would be willing to abide by this
decision.

The DISPUTED Ballots.

Inc disputed OdllOtS.
There are 267 disputed ballots which.
have been laid aside and which will
be passed upon by the city council.
Each and every one of them is clear
ly Illegal and would be thrown out by
any court in the country, none of them
being legal vote.
OF these there are 143 for Off, and
124 for Sterne. After.thes have been
thrown out by the council or the
court, Sterne will have a majority
of 16.
These disputed ballots are illegal
for the following reasons:
Some are marked outside of the
square.
Some are not properly initiated on
the back.
Some are signed with colored pen
ellis or ink.
Some are not correctly crossed.
Some have been erased and then
remarked.
AS the ballots were examined last
evening, all of these disputed ballots
were laid aside by the attorneys for
Off and Sterne, each side laying aside
any ballots they came across which
were not properly marked or illegal.
Neither side knew just how many
were being found until the work was
completed
BY wards, the following disputed
ballots were laid aside:
First ward-15 for Sterne; 10 for
Of
Second ward-12 for sterne; %
for Off.
Third ward-2o for sterne; Is for
Off.
Fourth ward-14 for sterne; % for
Off.
Fift, ward-24 for sterne; II for
Of.
Sixth ward-39 for sterLe; so for

Total. 124 for sterne; l4S for Off.
After these disputed ballots are
thrown out the correct. legal and of

The laying aside of these contested
ballots was done in a fair and equal
manner, both sides laying aside what
they wished and the sorting out of the
votes was done in the same manner as

Peculiar Markings.

Some peculiar markings were found
on some of the ballots. The votes
marked with straight line in one
ward were counted there by the
judges, while votes marked exactly
the same way in another ward, were
very properly thrown out by the
judges.
,ome r the squares contained one
line some contained two and some
contained more. Some contained a
dash. Several ballots were found
marked with colored pencils which
co easily lead to the identity of the
voter. These mistakes were found on
both party sides of the ticket and all
sucn were laid aside regardless of how
icy had been counted.

Through by Midnight.

When the recount was first started.
tho plan of looking over the ballots
was not worked out just right and it
took couple of hours to go through
the votes from the first ward.
After that the plan was changed and
the work progressed much faster.
otherwise the count would not have
been finished for week.
An adjournment was taken for sup
per and after supper the counters got
busy again and shortly before mid
night, completed the work of sorting
out the ballots.
They were then sealed up in en-
velopes and will be taken before the
city council to pass upon.

~ Sterne F1dS 10 WdJOTlty
The investigation Of the ballots cast
Al the election Of April s, shows that
Louis Sterne was elected mayor of
Keokuk by is majority on the legal
ballots cast, according to the table
above which shows the assortment of
the votes as completed just before
midnight last night.
The investigation favors him in
every way. He has majority OF the
legal votes cast and is also to the good
on the disputed ballots, there being
PSF Illegal ballots cast of which Off
had 143 and Sterne, 1924.
Illegal ballots are thrown out by
courts in all election contests and. af-
ter these 267 illegal ballots have been
thrown out Mr.. Sterne will have ma
jority Of 10.
BY counting the Illegal ballots, as
was done on election night in every
ward, Off still has the three majority
announced by The Gate City on cleo
ton night, but after the illegal bal
lots which are no good, have been
thrown out, the result will be quite
different.

there had been votes challenged in

the back of the ballots
The judges had thrown out is bal
lots as spoiled ones, as follows: Two

There were 90 voters who did not
vote for mayor. being one in the sec
ond ward. six in the third, four in the
fourth, five in the fifth and seven in
the sixth. Every voter in the first
ward voted for mayor
Those who examined the ballots
paid no attention to mistakes and IL
legal votes for other officers, the only
thing being investigated being the
vote for mayor.

the courts.

in the matter will be asked.
If the council throws out all of the
267 Illegal ballots, the only thing it
can do legally, it must declare Sterne
to be elected mayor by a vote of 1867
to 1851.

Case is Not over.

The case is not over as some people
have been led to believe. 1t is true
that the returns of the judges and
clerks still show Off to have ma
jority, but it must be remembered that
this figures in 267 illegal ballots
which any court in the country would
discard.
Until some agreement is made re-
garding these illegal ballots, the con-
test is not over.
Off is acting mayor, but is holding
office because of illegal ballots count
ed for him. Until these 267 disputed
ballots are legalized either by com
promise, agreement or court order
the matter is unsettled

Games Friday Night.
Baptists VS. st. Johns
Presbyterians VS. CPS.

In a game replete in sensational
plays and attended by the largest
audience of spectators of the season,
the Presbyterian team of the church
league defeated the Congregational
team last evening by a score of 16 to
Is, the game being won in the last in
ming when the head of the Presbyter-
ian batting list came up and sliced
out cluster of hits that brought vic
tory. At the end of the sixth inning
gregational team went to bat first and
succeeded in sending one man across
the plate When the Presbyterian
I team came up the audience was in a
state of noisy excitement Beard

The head of the batting list then came
up. Board stole second and Norris
King planted one of joys offerings
for single Board was caught at the
plate and King went to second. King
advanced base and Fuller reacher
second on the latter's hit. With Bell
and Powers things looked dark for
Pitcher Joy and the heavy sluggers of
the Presbyterians drove the two need
ed runs across the plate.
In the first three innings OF the
game the Congregational team sent
ten men around the coveted path and
the score at the end OF the third was
10 to 3. The Presbyterian team came
strong in the fourth and sixth and tied
things up. The one hand stop of Pow

The Investigation.

The table printed above, is the re-
suit of the investigation made yester-
day afternoon and evening. BY chang
ing the method of examining the bal
lots as first followed, the work was
FASTENED and an all night job was
completed just before midnight
The ballots themselves were count
ed by H. Boyden Blood and j. Albert
Henneman and everything was found
to be all right as far as the number
of ballots cast was concerned.
The legality of the banots was pass
ed upon by John E. Craig, Hazen l
Sawyer, A. T. Marshall and D. F..
Miller, four attorneys who laid aside
all Illegal ballots which had been
wrongfully counted by the judges and
clerks. They found 267 of them al
most equally divided between Sterne
and Off, but 10 more of these illegal
ones had been counted for Off than
for Sterne by the judges and clerks.
The investigation was favorable to
out with the legal ballots and wins out
with the illegal ones.
Contest Continues.
Had Mr.. Sterne found that he had
been elected by means of Illegal bal
lots he would have Withdrawn his
contest and the matter would have
been all settled today, but the investi-
cation of the ballots showing that he
was legally elected, he will conse-
quently continue the contest which is
70 be carried before the city council
at its next meeting.
From the result of the investigation,
there seems but one outcome of tae
contest and that is that either Mr.. Off

MAYORS chair which he is occupy
