JUDGES MAY LOSE OUT
Non Partisan Ticket Almost Push
ed Off the Ballot.

Unless attention of all voters is
specially directed to the place on the
election ballot of the, ticket of the
nontpartisan, supreme court judges,
the gentlemen seeking place on the
state bench are likely to receive only
a small fractional portion OF the vote
cast for other candidates.
Those who make up the tickets
handed a lemon to the state judges for
they poked them off to the outside of
the ballot and made them line up as
though they are separate party ticket.
The names of the non-partisan judges
arc away out in a remote corner of
the suburbs of the ticket and unless
the voter is directed by street, num-
Der and addition he is very likely to
overlook or forget tho judges altogeth-
er.
BY rights, the names of the candi-
dates for judges being non-partisan
should appear in the BODY and each
and every political ticket on the bal
lot from republican to socialist. In
this way the ticket would receive the
vote of democrats, prOgressives, pro
hibitionists or republicans as intend
ed. The way the ticket is now placed
the judges will receive a very small
per cent of the elective expression of
the state IIi.'

RECEPTION TO PASTOR
Central M E Church Welcomes DR..
and Mrs. L. M, Grigsby.

On Tuesday evening a goodly num-
Der of the membership of the Central
M. E. church came out to attend the
reception given in honor of DR.. l.. NJ
GTigsby and his family. The advent
OF new pastor in church as large
as this one, is an event of more than
usual interest.
In the receiving line were DR.. and
Mrs. G. L. Minear, the District Super
intendent; the pastor, Dr. l.. M .Grigs-
by, and wife, and l.. r. Grigsby, the
father of the pastor. After the gen
eral Introduction of the members and
friends, the company was called to
order by DR.. Minear and after few
selections by the Sunday school or.
chestra led by DR.. ]. /. Tony, DIR.
Minear in behalf of the church, de-
livered an address of welcome to the
pastor and his family. This was
heartily responded to by DR.. Grigsby
and in both the address and the re-
Spouse the best of good will and CO.
operation prevailed.
several vocal selections were also
rendered by the male quartette, COM
prising Roy Kemble, Claire D. Cor
don, Mark Norman and DR.. Tony,
and their delightful music was thor
oughly enjoyed. This was followed
by reading, Hope, Faith ana Love-"
by Miss Mabel Doll, given in her own
attractive manner and in which she
received a hearty encore. 49,.
In the few weeks that have passed
since the coming OF DIR. Grigsby and
his family to Oskaloosa, they have al
ready made place for themselves in
the hearts and affections of the peo-
pie. In pulpit ability, pastoral eff
cheney and qualities of church ad.
ministration, Dr. Grigsby seems to be
admirably fitted to the work of Cen
trail church. sfs a. ~

To Be Voted On At the Regular
Biennial Election.

Voters at the election, Tuesday,
November Z, will be asked to say yes
or no upon two propositions, apart
aad separate from the regular cleo
ton ballot. Each voter will be CIV
on three ballots upon entering the
voting booth. One will be the large
blanket sheet upon which appear the
names of candidates of national,
state, district and county tickets, etc.
Another will be the amendment to
the state constitution proposition, and
the third the county hospital PROPOSE
tiOE
The two questions to be voted up
on are the repeal of Section 7, Arti-
Gle 2, of the Constitution of the State
of Iowa, and to adopt in lieu thereof
the following:
The general election for the state,
district, county, and township officers
in the year 1916 shall be held in the
same month and on the same day as
that fixed by the laws of the United
States for the election of presidential
SieSLuIp VI VI pApoAuShb pAH wv
president of the United States, and
thereafter such elections. shall be
held at such time as the general as
semhly may by law provide 81"
Now this is not clear to, the gen
eral public nor would it be to any
one not conversant with what the
state assembly is attempting to do.
The state assembly. is seeking to
change the time for the elections
from Tuesday to Monday. Some
travelling man complained to the leg.
islature or some of its representa-
tivcs or senators that he was being
terribly inconvenienced by the great
state of Iowa by the election day fall
ing on Tuesday. For his own con-
venience he wanted the election held
on Monday morning so he could vote
before going on the road and thus be
able to st1e a days time. -
Just what time he desires the polls
to be opened is a matter for future
consideration.
The second question appearing up
on the special ballot is the PROPOSE
ton to be put squarely before the PEG
pie of the county, a yes or no prob
lem:
Shall Mahaska County accept the
property of the Oskaloosa Hospital
Association as gift and conduct the
same as County Hospital as provid-
ed by law"
The question is submitted to the
voters of the county by authorization
of the Board of Supervisors following
a petition from the property owners
or voters Of the county, made in &C
cordance with the law governing the
case.

BRIER GETS DAMAGES
Awarded a Verdict For SIS, 200 In
Court at Washington.

II. B. Mccoy, of the law firm of Nc
Coy & Mccoy, is home from Washing
ton, Iowa, where he has been engaged
in the trial of the damage suit of
Glenn Brier VS.. c. r. |. & p. Ry. Co.
The case was of interest as it was
prosecuted under the Federal En-
ployoc's Liability Act and involved
the question as to whether a lineman
injured while engaged in the repair
Of the telegraph lines of the railway
company was so employed in the
furtherance of interstate commerce
so that he could recover under the
Federal Statute and not the State
law. The court held that the en-
ployment of Brier was such that he
could bring his action under the Fed
eral act. Brier was thrown from a
gasoline motor car while on his way
to repair the telegraph lines along
the Iowa Division of the Rock Island.
The jury awarded damages in the
sum Of $4,000 for the injuries so
received.

County Board of Supervisors were
in session yesterday afternoon letting
the contract for seventeen bridges
and culyerts to be constructed over
the county. Bidders came from Des
Moines and Beacon with their sub
missions, six in all; and a local man
gets the contract. H. E. Whitlatch
of Beacon submitted the only bid
from this locality, the other five com.
ing from Des Moines. Mr.. Whit
latch bid about one thousand dollars
under the other submissions
Mr.. Whitlatch expects to start
work within the next ten days and
will have the work completed just as
soon as possible. This letting was
particularly advantageous to the
county, being made just at this time,
since prices are better at the present
time than they will be early next
spring. '..
Aside from the letting yesterday
afternoon the Board of Supervisors
heard some of the road petitions for
the extention of the present county
road systems. So far no objections
have come up, and they will continue
the road hearings on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
