QUALLEY WINS CONTEST
CONTINUED from page u.

did so vote, and their votes should
be counted. Here and there he
found a few defective ballots on
both sides and threw them out, but
upon footing up the result found
Qualley still ahead by SO and de-
clared him elected by that majority,
and gave judgment against Carolan
for the costs.
The count of the ballots as return
ed to the County Auditor showed
Qualley elected by As majority. At
ter canvass of all the votes, nine
Of Qualley's votes were thrown out
because they were defective. Then
Judge Fellows adjudged seven votes
cast by Luther College students to
be Illegal, and as they voted for
Qualley, he deducted seven more
from the 80, which left Qualley's
majority 80. Then he entered the
following decree:
Judgment of the Court is that
Thomas j. Qualley is the newly
elected Sheriff of Winneshiek Coun-
ty, Iowa, by majority of 80. The
judgment of the Election Contest
Court and the Certificate of Elec-
ton issued by that court to P. J.
Carolan is reversed and set aside.
1t is adjudged that P. J. Carolan
and the sureties on his bond pay the
costs of this action
We have seen lot of fool things
done by newspaper men, but this
caps the climax Coming into the
newspaper field in this county when
everything was propitious for an un-
usually successful career, Editor
Biermann of the Journal seems to
lave done just the things he ought
not to have done. Given cordial,
friendly reception by all the news
papers of the city, the editor of the
only local democratic paper, at a
time when the republican party was
almost torn asunder by factional dis
sension, instead of taking advantage
of his opportunity he seems to have
been the very means of bringing to-
gether the republicans of the county
in a united campaign and organiza-
ton along party lines such as has
not been known here for years.
Flushed with partial victory obtain
ed by republican assistance, he as
sumed a domineering, dictatorial at
titude which has lost him the friend
ships and political support which
seemed to be his for the asking a |
year ago.
Maybe this is none of our bust
ness, but the Carolan-Qualley con-
test is attributed directly to him, |
and he accepted a position as a |
member of the contest court, he is |
chairman of the democratic county |
central committee, and as spokes-
man for the party and its leader in
this county has defended the action
of this court in his newspaper-the |
party organ, so as representative of
the party he must accept the respon-
sibility. This statement is made in
a political, not personal sense, and
we desire it so understood.
