election in Iowa was that very few
changes will be made In the various
judiciary districts. Most of the judges
who were in office were reelected.
This was the case in Polk county
(the Ninth district) where only one
man, Judge Brennan, was defeated.
He gave way to Police Judge Utter

Judge also, but in most districts prac-
tically all the officials were returned
to office.
