Drops Contest; Friday Is Mayor.

S'opo SOVtCoNt ''Noy 10
John Friday is the undisputed may
or OF Norfolk.
The election contest filed by e. E.
Coleman, the defeated republican can
didate, has been dropped, Mr.. Cole
mans counsel, after having canvassed
the ballots which were opened and re-
counted in county court at Madison
last week, declaring that Mr.. Friday
was fairly elected.
Coleman's attorneys say that Friday
was elected by a majority of from
three to Ave votes. The original can
vass gave Friday a margin Of one vote,
but in that canvass Coleman ballot
found on the floor in the Second ward
polling place was not counted, and II
was thought by Mr.. Colemans friends
that q recount would show him to be
the winner.
The contest was formally dropped
by Coleman and his attorneys yester.
day afternoon, after a careful consid-
Grafton of the disputed ballots held by
Judge William Bates for decision.
There was some more testimony to
be taken in the contest in regard to
ballots in the Fourth ward, but what
ever may be the disposition of those
ballots, Mr.. Coleman and his attor-
neys declare they are defeated.
The following statement was made
by Coleman's counsel:
Friday Fairly Elected.
"Mr. Coleman. and his attorneys,
after carefully considering and count

was fairly elected by from three to
FIVE votes. Being convinced that Mr..
Friday was fairly elected, we think
ne should have the office and that the
contest should proceed no further"
In the recount Coleman lost two
votes in the First ward. The discov-
cry of two straight democratic ballots
among the straight republican votes,
was the cause. In the Third ward, 1t
was found that twenty votes which
we're cast were not on record. Out OF
these twenty, Friday gained seven and
Coleman three. Ten other disputed
ballots gave Friday. additional gains.

mans attorneys. "The contestant will
withdraw and the contest Is ended
We went in to find certain ballots We
found them as we expected, but we
also found what we did not expect
which is few more votes for Friday.
Many illegal Ballots.
Duplicates Of disputed ballots were
made by Mr.. Coleman's attorneys. An
examination of these ballots showed
that in many cases the election judges
either failed to sign or else they were
signed by only one Judge, making them
illegal These ballots were cast fol
both Friday and Coleman. In many
cases, where an illegal ballot was
found for Coleman, the same kline
could be found for Friday. Other bal
lots were defaced by voters signing
their names on blank places, scratch

JUSTICE FOR ALL ENTERPRISES.

Nothing is more intimately con nected with the development and prosperity of the country than tho railroads. The Southwest of today ana the Southwest of twenty years ago affords an unanswerable argu- ment in proof of this.
 And yet the railroads have for the last twenty years been the tar gets for attacks by small bore poi- ticians and misled public says the Fl Paso Times.
 For much of this. if not all of it, the railroads themselves are to blame through the greed. avarice and selfish management of a few of them, which were ignorant of the science of railroading and the rights of the public.
 Therefore, the great railroad sys- tems of today are not averse to gov enrnment regulation. provided, of course, wise and practical railroad men are entrusted with that regu lation. But it takes a lifetime of experience, coupled with a natural talent for the business to fit a man to manage a railroad system and ia miliarize him with all the details of operation and rate making. and gov ernment control, even government regulation, would not be objection able if the vast enterprises with such enormous sums invested in them were entrusted to practical railroad men instead of the practi- cal politicians, because such control would possibly protect the large and legitimately conducted systems from the errors and mis6eeds of the reck- iessly managed predatory kiEd.
 All that the railroads ask is a square deal-the same justice and show given to other legitimate en- terprises and that and nothing more is what the Times has declared for.
 The railroad is no more entitled to special privileges than the indi- vidual or any other enterprise But they and all other enterprises and the apital invested in them are en- titled to the same even-handed jus dee given to individuals.
 The Times has received Bulletin No. 12 for the month of February, 1911, Of the bureau of railway econ omnics at Washington. Even a cas- ual reading of the document and tho summaries of statistics covering ev cry phase of railroad work win serve to lead to the disquieting con clusion of the thoughtful citizen tSat the railroads are not getting 3 square deal In Februory the reports show a loss in revenue over the cor responding month of last year of ss4 per mile
 Inimical legislation and agitation have impaired values and hampered operations to an unjust degree. while. as never before in their his tory the railroads are giving better treatment alsd better service to the public.
 In the interest of all classes of business and of the whole country. and especially in the interest of the West and Southwest, to whose development to a degree depend upon more railroads, a halt should be called on the unjust and injustif- able war on capital, and efforts turned to the encouragement of it's investment in railroads and other enterprises which build up and de velopea tle country and add so rap

Thrilling Story of Jerry South,
 the New Chief Clerk

timate knowledge of panA'ns prac 'iees and financial matters, wtict convinced the delegate from tho backwoods that the well informed person was none other than Bu Ter Taylor, the suspected murderer oi the Meeks family. Jerry gent out and borrowed a double barrelled shotgun. Then he laid ln wait fog the two strangers. When they came along the road, he got the drop or them and demanded that they thruw up their hands. They attempted to draw their weapons. but 8 click oi the trigger or Jerry's gun convince them that that was no opportune moment to reach for hip pockets Jerry held them at bay for a hal hour or more until there appearst a countryman whom he ordered tc search the strangers. The s5'ch revealed a battery Of six pis.ols sul four bowie knives.

 Lands Them in Jail.
 The county which Jerry represent cd was entitled to six seats in tho convention, but he was the only delegate who appeared Accepting ly. Jerry tooE the two Taylors into the convention with him. and kept beside them. While he voted and took part in the proceedings of the convention he continued to keep an eye on his prisoners, having warned them that any attempt to escape would mean instant death. The con vention lasted two days, and the
 5 'soners were Jerry's guests meanwhile. Once he locked them in a room :n his hotel under guard of Q friend while he went out to call upon his sweetheart When the pro ceeiings O. the convention were over, Jerry carried the Taylors back to the county seat, where they were locked up, and the Missouri author ities were notified.
 Eventually, they were taken back to Missouri. William J. Stone, now senator from Missouri, was then governor of the state and issued the requisitioR upon the governor of Ar kansas, which returned them to the scene of their crime for trial. Rep resentative William W. Fucker, now member Of the house of represents tives, and one of the democratic leaders, was the judge before whom the Taylors were tried and convict ed, and both he and Senator Stone vouch for the genuineness of Jerry South's adventure.
 The state Of Missouri and the county in which the crime was com mitted paid Jerry sI1,0O0 reward for his capture of the desperadoes.
 For the next two years. Jerry South will be obliged to get what excitement be can out of such com monplace duties as fall to the chief clerk.
