239 were names of persons who had
neither registered nor voted and were
not shown to be qualified, and nine
names were thrown out because they
could not be identified This left
1922 valid names on the petition Of
revocation. The number of votes at
the election being $3.50, it required
2,677 to constitute a majority, and
hence Judge Vermilion held that the
petition of revocation was short fifty
five names.
Contentious Made.
Counsel for the petitioner, Mills,
contended that under the wording OF
section No. 2451 of the Code requiring
such a petition to be signed by "a
majority Of the voters of the city as
shown by the last general election"
it was not meant that only those who
voted could sign the petition, but that
any man qualified to vote could sign
and his. signature be counted as a
valid one.
On the grounds that any qualified
voter of the city, whether he actually
voted or not, was privileged to sign
the petition and that his name would
count, the "drys" appealed the case
to the supreme court on July 2, 1909,
and on January 10, 1910, each side to
the controversy filed printed argu-
ments with the high tribunal. The
counsel for the "wets" maintained
that 1t was necessary for each man
signing the petition to have actually
voted at the last general election and
that names on the petition could only
be counted in the event that they cor
responded to the same name as signed
on the election registration books.

When the trainers of the party
choice in the ranks of Iowa's democ-
racy assemble in Des Moines Thurs
day, one of the names to be mention
ed for a state office will be that Of
James V. Curran. At the county treas
urers Office this morning Mr.. Curran
admitted that such thing is likely,
although he has not taken out nomin
alton papers as yet and Of course Will
not do so until after the meeting of
the democratic state central commit
tee Thursday. Friends of the Ottum-
wan over the state have written and
proposed that he go after the nomina-
ton for state treasurer, and he has
made up his mind to do so. The Reg
lister and Leader Of Des Moines makes
the following mention of Treasurer
Curran:
James V. Curran of Ottumwa, coun-
ty treasurer Of Wapello county, has
announced himself as a candidate for
treasurer Of state, subject to the &C
ton of the democratic primary. MI
Curran believes that this is a good
democratic year and he is determined
to try for promotion, having served
successfully as city treasurer and
county treasurer at Ottumwa.
Jimmie" Curran has. gained no lit
tie popularity among the people Of
Ottumwa and Wapello county. He was
a street newsboy when he first began
to count money and when he gradual
ed from the ranks of the newsboys it
was to enter bank. In time he be-
came cashier Of the South Ottumwa
bank and resigned to become county
treasurer after having served three
terms as city treasurer. He has enter
ed the field now as candidate for
state treasurer to oppose w. w. Nor
rows third term candidacy.
Mr.. Curran is the only democratic
candidate in the race thus far.

PROBE RESOLUTION LOOKS LIKE HOAX
 IN COUNTY CASE
Strictly Interpreted Affairs of Commissioners Can be InveS- tigated Only Last
 Eight Months
Attorney Charles M. Robinson Promises to Take Stump in Order to Show Up the Rotten Doings of the Republican Ring in New Haven County

l New Haven, June Swallowing | upon the surprise and consternation
 that seized some of the prime nov CTS for the probe into county affairs with the appointment of the commit | tee, Senator Blakeslee picked out and
 announced Monday night another big
 jolt was given to those interested in
 the thorough and genuine investiga-
 ton of county management and busi-
 ness in the discovery that the resolu- | tion of investigation, as it is worked, | if strictly interpreted and acted up-
 on, calls for no investigation into af- fairs dating back of October 1 of l last year, thus ruling out most of | the matter contained in the charges which the Council of One Hundred has prepared, and the matter of rentals and contracts which cover a since October l.
 That this is the result of the clause which states in the resolution that a l committee shall be appointed to in vestigate into 'the management of county affairs by the present board of county commissioners is the opin- ion held by those most familiar with the situation and while many mem bers of the civic bodies believed the investigation as amended by Senator Chase would cover all that was de- sired, they have awakened to a req
 lization that the amendment of Sena- tor Chase did not materially affect the resolution and that it's scope, un- less the committee exceeds, the ex- press terms of the resolution, is linn ited.
 Attorney Charles M. Robinson, in an interview, scores the action in re- gard to the investigation as a frame up, saying that it had been announce ed in political circles in Hartford last week that this would happen. He ent board,' would shut out about nine-tenths of all the charges which had been suggested and would even exclude the last annual report of the commissioners for the year ending September 30, 1909. There is hardly will not be barred because it runs back of October 1.
 In conclusion he says:
 we are not through yet. There is an election coming and we will try to find out on that occasion money have any right to know how it is spent and who gets it. Person ally I intend to take the stump next fall and give the voters the benefit of what I have learned of the doings of the county political ring. I am there are quite a few of us who be- lieve in honest government first, the party afterwards"
 Senator Blakeslee, when asked whether he had considered his re- tirement from the committee on ac- count of the criticisms which had been directed against the committee chosen by him and his presence thereon declined to make any state ment for publication last night.

 It is expected that all the members of Ida lodge, N. E. O. F., will turn out at the meeting tonight when the new district deputy grand warden, Dr. J. D.
