MANDAMUS IS
TURNED DOWN
Juds. Hale at Nit Pleasant Makes
Short Work of Legal conten-
lions of Attempted
Candidates.
NOBODY WAS SURPRISED
Attempt to Compel Auditor to Place
Names on Ballot Failed as
Thoroughly az Attempt
to Keep Secret.

| Judge Hale made short shrift OF
the attempt to mandamus the county
auditor to place the names OF several
men on the democratic ticket this
fall for county officers.
| He promptly refused to grant the
mandamus after hearing the argu-
ment of County Attorney Hamilton
against it, and by his action sustained
the opinion of the attorney general
that names cannot go on the ballot
In the manner attempted by the man
who want to be candidates.
This action causes no surprise here,
as the lawyers seemed practically
unanimous that the opinion of the
attorney general, under which Audi
tor Hull is acting, is correct.
It caused no disappointment In the
democratic ranks, as the leaders OF
the party did not participate in the
attempt to force candidates against
the chairman of the exemption board
and other republican candidates, in
view Of the fact that the republicans
left several places on their ticket
vacant
Democrats are Good Patriots.
The democratic party of Lee county
has made clear record for the patri-
otto idea that this Is no time for
petty politics. and that men who are
helping win the war need every en-
couragement. The leaders of the party
have taken pains to make this atti-
tude plain, and the masses of demo-
Gratis talk the same way all over the
county.
The scheme to force the names of
the certain men upon the ticket was
not improved any in public estima-
ton. many men are saying. by the
strenuous efforts to keep the man
damus proceedings secret from the
voters of the county the other day.
Friends Of the men who have been
trying to get a place on the demo
cratic ticket say today that they will
run on an independent ticket on
which they can place themselves by
petition This WIFI make them oppo-
nents Of both the regular tickets in
a separate column on the ballot.
Little interest has been manifested
IN the whole scheme. except some
curiosity expressed among politicians

They viii Consider Several
Matters That VIII
Provoke Discussion.

| Everybody In kecKuk, who ever
rode in an automobile, and thousands
of motorists all over the United
Estates knows about them.
/, In fact they are one OF the things
that have made Keokuk famous in
lone way.
They have been studied by engineer
/, ing students ON account OF their
curves so precisely perfect for the
function they perform
| Thus, the street crossing bumps all
lover the city, built before automobiles
were in use and the most perfect and
bumpdeet bumps anywhere.
| They have been cussed more than
the kaiser, and only the automobile
repair shop proprietors find any good
/, in them.
HIT Merchants the Hardest.
Now 1t has been recognized that
they are particularly costly TO the
business men Of KeOkuk.
Hitherto, 1t was supposed that they
were fnimfcal only to the family car
owner and the tourist; but somebody
who keeps cost account has found
that they are costing more TO the mer-
chants than anybody else

springs and least shock to the me-
chanism OF his automobile.
But the owner of the costly trucks.
and the owners of the delivery autos.
lof whom there are many here, en-
ploys hired drivers who have not SO
much interest in what happens to the
motor vehicle. A few OF them find the
sfroof crossings almost as thrilling as
any device in street carnival.
ComerciaI Club May Act.
This matter viii be brought before
the Comm ercial club at its first meet
ing OF this fiscal year, one Of the MEM
bers said today. and the club will dis
cuss 1t from very practical angle.
Under the conditions outlined, some
merchants believe the Commercial
club ought to pass a resolution calling
on the street department of the city
to make the bumps at every street in
tersection less bunny.
Aside from this matter, there are
other things which members threaten
to bring up which are of importance
to the business men of Keokuk, and
the retailers will have an interesting
session.
It will be after the e,nner which
starts at $50 o'clock this evening IN
