DAVENPORT VOTE
At PRIMARY JOKE.
A Total Of Only 43S Ballots Cast b.
Iowa Citizens ut Polling Places
Yesterday.
EACH VOTE COSTS CITY ss.ls
Republican Candidates for Mayor Falls
Short 36 Votes Necessary to
Nominate Him.

A total of 43S votes, costing the
taxpayers $3.42 per vote and moth
ing gained, tells the story OF Mon
days primary election in Daven-
port. The farcicality Of primary
elections have been urged In the
past In that city. 1t was proven Mon
day.
No evidence that the election was
not taken seriously is demonstrated by
the joke votes cast. Barney Squires,
Davenport's famous tree trimmers was
honOred with one vote for mayor. be-
ing classed as a Democrat. Some
friend of George w. Scott, vented his
humor by giving Mr.. Scott a vote for
mayor, CHASING him as a Socialist.
No better proof of lack of interest
in Mondays primary could be desired
than comparison of the total vote
cast for mayor at the last city cleo
ton and the vote Of Monday. Two
years ago the total vote for mayorsAt
the regular election was 8,467. Mon
Dictated, but 43S.
The primary election law stipulates
primary candidate must receive at
| least 10 per cent of the party vote
! cast for mayor at the last preceding
general election, in order to become a
candidate on the regular ticket. Ru-
dolf Rohlfs, Republican candidate two
years ago, received total of 1888
votes. Ten per cent of this would be
a fraction over 1853 votes. MIR. jaeger
the Republican candidate for mayor at
(! Mondays primaries, received but 317
votes, 36 under the required number
to nominate.
The law provides, however, that
where the primary fails to nomi-
nate candidate, that party may
hold convention for this purpose and
place their candidates in nomination
F., by this means. The same condition
applies to all the other Republican
candidates at Monday s .primary.
Members Of the Republican city cen.
trail committee stated yesterday that
! the delegates placed in nomination al
Mondays primaries would be called
into convention and full ticket placed
in nomination.

OF their circuit judges made and placed
