DAVIS COUNTY
HAS A RECORD
MANY IOWA OFFICERS FIRST
SAW LIGHT OF DAY IN DEMO-
CRATIC STRONGHOLD.

Des Moines, Jan. 25.-Davis county,
whose democracy is as rock-ribbed as
her hills that separate to let old Salt
creek through to the river, has furnish
ed to the state each of the officers nee
essary to make up the state execu-
tive council. Governor Carroll, him
self always firm in his loyalty to Davis
county, has discovered that it is the
only county from which have come a
governor, a secretary of state, a state
auditor and a state treasurer.
Away back in the fifties Davis coun-
ty gave to the state treasurer with
the euphonious name of Israel Kister.
He served from 1850 to 1852 and his
picture adorns the wall in the office
of State Treasurer Morrow today. He
signed his name with the simple asser-
ton, Il. Kister," and the joke is a good
one, even if it is almost sixty years
old
From 1878 until 1884 John A. T. Hull,
now congressman from the Seventh
Iowa district, was secretary of state,
having been elected from Davis coun-
ty Later he was made lieutenant gov
ernor, but at that time he was a resi-
dent Of Des Moines.
Governor Carroll came from Davis
county to take the Office of auditor of
state in 1904, and his legal residence
is still in Bloomfield SO that his cleo
ton as governor gives to Davis county
the honor of having given to the state
the men who have at one time or an
other, filled all the offices which are
united now in the executive council
Lieutenant-G George w.
Clarke is a former resident of Davis
county also, although his present resi-
dence is at Abel, in Dallas county. Gen
James B. Weaver before heTemoved to
Jasper county, lived in Davis county
and was elected congressman on the
Democratic ticket from the Sixth dis
trict during his residence there.
Such is the record of Davis county
and Governor Carroll is duly proud of
it.

MEEK VAN buren,
CO. TREASURER
JUDGE ANDERSON MADE DEcls.
ION LATE SATURDAY AFTER
NooN-FIRsT DECISION.

Keosauqua, Jan rs. - Especially
The Morris-Meek case came to an end
Saturday when Judge Anderson de
cided that Meek had won the Office OF
county treasurer by one vote This
was a contest over the Office of coun-
ty treasurer.
On the face of the election returns
Meek had majority of IS. When
tried before the contest court it was
found that Morris had majority of
8. AS counted Of Morris VS.. Meek III
favor Of the incumbent, Meek has a
majority of in a vote of 3,S40.
The contest grew out of the fact
that in few precincts the election Of
ficers threw out ballots having crosses
before the names of president and
vice president, holding that they were
identifying marks.
The court holds that they are not
identifying marks and counts such bal
lots.
The court threw out one ballot
where the word Eyes" was written be-
fore Senator Aliens name, holding
that it was an Identifying mark. The
court threw out eight ballots where
the voters had put single straight
the other of the candidates, and one
ballot where the voter had attempted
to vote by putting circle in the
square before every name on one Of
the tickets.
All other ballots were counted as
marked.
The First Decision.
Des Moines, Jan. 25. - The Meek
Morris case is the first decision of a
court with respect to a contention
which has arisen everywhere in the
state and may have wide significance.
Thousands of voters marked ballots
by drawing square in front Of Taft's
or Bryanis name and putting a cross
in it, thinking the square had been
sdeft off by mistake, and so, not voting
FOR electors at ALL Judge Anderson de.
cldes they should be counted.
Several legislative seats depend on
the ruling made as to this matter, it
is thought. 1t is not unlikely the con-
test committees may take cognizance
of Judge Anderson's view
The same point arises in the Hep.
