Revised regulations of the Treasury

bROOKHART LEADS
IN VOTE CONTEST
Holds Advantage Over Steck.
Contested Ballots Seen as
Deciding Factor.

The official tabulation of uncon-
tested votes in y counties completed
in the recount of votes cast in the
sensational election in Iowa last Au-
tumn made public this morning gave
Steck 92.11 and Brookhart 93.419.
The statement showed that in %
counties there had been 353 Steck
votes challenged by Brookhart's su-
pervisor and that Steck's supervisor
had challenged 1857 Brookhart votes.
The three counties covered in the
statement issued this morning and
not included in yesterdays tabula-
tions were Clinton, Dallas and Davis.
Errors are Corrected.
II was pointed out that the reports
on unContested ballots covered only 2l
counties. while tabulation on chal-
lenged votes covered %, and it was
stated that this was due to the Steck
challenge of all votes in Clinton
County on the grounds of alleged in
validity because of defective printing
In Clinton County Brookhart had 200
plurality on the State returns, and it
was claimed by Brookhart's super
visor that the official recount had
given him ma jority of more than
500 in that county, due TO the Correc-
tion Of clerical errors found in the
ISIdIe COuIllS.
The counters this morning were
working on Emmett and Fayette
Counties. The supervisors for the two
contestants stated that no material
gains in uncontested votes had been
made by either side and that no note
worthy incidents had arisen in the re-
count. They are finding that there
are numerous humorists among the
voters of the State. This they have
found by the discovery of several
votes for Andy Gump for President
and of Barney Google for Vice Presi-
dent.
Depend on Contested Votes.
Brookhart people this morning in
terpreted the developments in the re-
count today as demonstrating that
the outcome of the contest will depend
upon the action of the investigating
committee upon the challenged votes.
They insisted that the showing made
in the recount of uncontested ballots
would not be accepted as indicative
of the final outcome in view of the
large number of Brookhart ballots,
which had been challenged. Most of
the challenged Brookhart votes. they
stated, had been counted for him in
the State, and they expressed conf
dence that these votes would also be
counted for him by the Senate com
mittee. The Steck representative was
equally confident that a large part of
the challenged Brookhart votes would
be thrown out by the committee and
not counted.
