VOTING MACHINES IN HARDIN.
TEldora Ledger

There are nineteen precincts in
Hardin county, and the voting is done
with twenty-five voting machines. The
use Of these simple devices facilitates
the counting Of the votes to such an
extent that i'm an hour aftersthe polls
have closed the results are fairly wei
known. BY the use of the telephone TO.
The county auditors office nearly every
town and hamlet in the county are
appraised of the results in two or three
hours after the last vote has been
registered. With these machines the
vote is registered--not cast. -
What great step forwardsit would
be il more counties were provided with
voting machines.
Hardin county, along with its many
natural and acquired blessings, is to
be congratulated on being at the fore
front in matter so vital to the ready
dissemination Of intelligence. The
voting machines are so constructed
that no fraud or sculduggery in cleo
ton affairs can be committed by those
who might become unscrupulons were
the peoples interests not 50 we'll safe
guarded. asa
Let us hope that other states will
profit by the example of this election
and avail themselves of these modern
election improvements.

ANXIOUS TO BELIEVE.


Now that the election Is over 1t is
up to Mr.. Harding to fulfill the pledges
he has made in regard to the liquor
question. The republican platform
contained as strong plank for pro-
hibition as was the democratic decla-
ration. Mr.. Harding said in hts
speeches over the state that he stood
square on that platform and would
do his best to fulfill its pledge on the
liquor question. 1t is now UP to him
to do it. Surely he will not repudiate
the pledge he has made to the voters
RI the state and do Just the opposite
Of what he has pledged himself to do.

RAILROAD HEAD
IS MISSING NOW
SUPERINTENDENT OF CROOKED
CREEK COMPANY is
AWAY.

Webster City, April 10.-A sensa'
ton was caused in this city when it
became generally known that Roy w.
Clark, superintendent of the Crooked
Creek Railroad & Coal Co.. has been
missing since last week Wednesday.
Investigation by other officials of the
road discloses the fact that his &C
counts are in bad shape and they be-
lieve that he deliberately absconded.
His shortage is estimated at $4,000
or better. -
Mr.. Clark spent his last day in this
city collecting freight bills. Just how
much he may have collected is not
yet known. He left word at his Office
that he was going to Boone on bust
ness connected with the Crooked
Creek line and the FIT Dodge, Des

on the telephone when it was learned
that Mr.. Clark had not been there.
Up to Bonding Company.
No effort has as yet been made to
apprehend him as whatever shortage
can be proven will have to be made
good by bonding company. The
latter, of course, will begin an ex-
haustive search for the fugitive.
Clark has passes over practically all
the large railroads in the country and
could have gone any place he wanted
to without having to pay care fare. He
left his wife and two children in this
city Mrs. Clark has no idea where
her husband is. 1t is the belief OF
other officers of the road. however,
that he had planned to leave and that
by this time he may be outside the
country.
Mr.. Clark came to Webster City
three years ago as superintendent Of
the Crooked Creek line. The inter
urban company will take possession
about May l. and at that time Mr..
Clark would have lost his position.
