GERMAN5 FAILED TO

London, Aug. "a That the Ger
mans operating in Western Belgium
had planned to occupy the French
Belgian coast cities, and thus ham
per the work of the British in keep
ing short lines OF communication
open across the Channel, but that
they have failed to accomplish this
object, is the position taken by the
War Office.
The reason for the failure has
been the inability to detach

French Department Of Pas de Calais.
The German cavalry has raided
through great section Of the coun-
Try and has moved south from Os-

HIN. Wragge, Of Holstein, Is cited as

CITY ELECTIONS AND FRAUD.

Des Moines and Sioux City neWspa-
pers yesterday published excerpts of
laws and gave warning that violations
Of election laws would be punished to
the extreme penalty. Those two towns
are holding elections today.
Year after year as the election day
approaches we see these warnings dis
played. The suggestion is that there
is much dishonesty and fraud in cleo
lions, that eternal vigilance is the
price Of approximate freedom from
Fraudulent practives in city elections
in cities of minor population like that
of the two cities referred to. But
prosecutions and convictions for cleo
ton fraud are scarce as original men
in federal office. If it be true as the
insistence suggests that fraud Is COM
mon in ordinary city elections, why
hasn't some one gone to Jail for the
crime?
Is our suggested impulse toward
criminal manipulation of ballot boxes
and the like merely local? There is
usually no question on the vote for
president, or governor Those cleo
tons are conducted in Iowa without
suggestion or fear of fraudulent vot-
ing. Why is it that the vote and the
canvass for a councilman should evoke
fear of crooked voting. unlawful meth
DDS and general political cussedness.
If we can run one election safely why
not the other?
And who and what class are engaged
in crooked election work that brings
out biennial suggestion of fraud
standing at the door Of the voting
booth watching it's chance? Who
does the crooked work and who pro-
cures it done? If it is SO prevalent and
such a present danger in all elections
why not a complete investigation and
an increase in the prison population?
How much of this fuss is based on
fact and does fraud obtain greatly in
our city elections?
