man j. Bauler last Saturday was
shock TO the whole community. His
honest and clean council record had
made him known all over the city and
his death is loss to the people. He
was fearless and upright man,
strai ghtforward in all his dealings. He
was man through and through.
Governor Deneen on Monday gave
his decision in the election contest
cause of Mckenzie Cleland against Al.
bert c. Barnes, in which the former
asked the Governor to issue a certifi.
cate of election to him as judge Of the
Superior Court of Cook County over
Mr.. Barnes. Governor Deneen denied
the application of Mr.. Cleland. The
governor holds that the duty Of the
state executive is purely ministerial
in the matter; that he must issue the
certificate of election to the person
who on the face of the returns re.
ceives the highest vote as certified by
the Secretary OF State, and that the
facts regarding the matters at issue
must be determined by a judicial
tribunal only.
