HOWELL STILL SECOND MAN
Betaini Eii Place in Race for the Water
Board Nomination.
WELLER'S CERTIFICATE ORDERED FILED
Hecoaat Rrlorn Show He Has
Two Hsmdred and glstr-Slaa
" Votes More Thaa Font
. Belle Candidate.
R. B. Howell's scheme to have the re
publican primaries of last Friday, so far
Sas they related to 'the contest for member
of the water board,, declared Illegal, and
the names of all three aspirants placed on
the official election, ballot did not work be
fore a subcommittee ef the republican city
committee yesterday. The subcommittee,
which was composed of Chairman Cowell,
Secretary Valentine, Treasurer Morgan,
N. P. Iodge, Jr., and H. W. CoWduroy,
held a session lasting; most of the day in
Mr. Morgan's office, canvassed the returns,
heard Mr. Howell's protest and arguments
against It. and directed that a certificate
be filed with the county clerk to the effect
that C. V. Weller is the regular nominee
of the party for the place.
The burden of Howell s complaint was
to the effect that in the First, Second,
Third,' Fifth and Eighth wards the names
of the three candidates - for the water
board, ' Howell, Kasper and Weller, had
been reversed from the alphabetical order
of printing. He demanded an investigation
to show who had manipulated the changing
of the order of the names.
Cannot Fix the Blame.
, Chairman Cowell said he had ordered
the ballots printed in alphabetical order
and had a distinct understanding with the
printer that they should be, further that
he did not know by whom or what author
ity the rule had been changed with re
spect to the city ballots. He pointed out
that It would be on exceedingly difficult
matter to determine who was to blame
and not within the power of the com.
mlttee to Inflict punishment, even though
the guilty person or persons were dis
covered. Judge Fawcett, who represented Mr.
Weller, said the change In the ballots had
been aa great a surprise to Mr. Weller as
to anyone. He pointed out that allowing
Howell's contentions that persons had
' voted against him when they did not wish
to do so, which Ignorance he thought im
possible, It would have taken at least 136
such' voters to change the result, and he
thought this contingency Incredible. The
sample ballots used conformed to the
names on the ballots, he said, and there
was absolutely nothing to show whether
the change had been by accident or design.
He pointed out, also, that the statutes do
not require the printing of the names in
alphabetical order. y
Mottoa of Dodge.
Mr. Dodge put this motion:
Inasmuoh aa ballots used In the primary
were contrary to the instructions of this
committee and differed in various wards
and that as a result two candidates were
working for the same position on the
ticket and great unfairness done, that we
report to the city central committee that
we aeem tnis primary election null and
void and request said central committee
to submit the names of the three candi
dates upon the official ballot In November.
Mr. Dodge talked long and earnestly in
favor of his motion, to which there was
no' second.
Edward Rosewater, who spoke briefly be
fore the committee, said If any fraud had
been committed the worst was the hiring
of Kaspar to run for the place and take
away votes from Howell's opponent. He
aald Kaspar Is not a man of means and
yet had distributed considerable money n
the campaign, Mr. Rosewater knowing
' personally of one letter he sent out con
taining a 16 bill. Mr. Weller had become
a candidate of his own accord and had
made no pledges. The placing of more
than one name on the ballot would Jeop-
, ardize the success of the entire county
ticket, Mr. Rosewater aald. It was not so
much a question of the change In the order
of names upon the ballot aa the fact that
al! three names had been submitted and
the people had recorded their choice. Even
though Weller' name had appeared nrst
In some wards, as a matter of equity, this
merely offset the fact that Howell's name
appeared at the top In other wards, Mr.
Rosewater declared. '
Howell denied putting Kaspar on the
ticket.
What Returns Show.
Owing to the fact that no tally sheets
were handed In from the First, Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Ninth wards,
' the ballots were recounted by the subcom-J
mlttee, all those which 'were marked out
- Csta the square before each candidate's
Qame being thrown out. The returns given
!n the other wards were used with the
following net result, which gives Mr. Wel

OLD ELEVATOR FIGHT IS UP
Protons; Coatest Between Farmers
and 1.1 ne Companies Revived
i by More Litigation.
The long drawn out contest between the
farmers' elevator companies on the one
band and the line elevators on the other, is
revived by litigation which will be de

Elevator company against Oemos C.
Hlgby. Hlgby was appointed asent and
manager of the company last December
and September 6 decamped, leaving letters
by way of a confession, which showed he
had been speculating In futures with the
company's money in local commission
houses. The amount In question la aald to
be several thousand dollars, and the suit
now being heard Is for t2.809.S3 for opera
tlon with one firm. County Attorney W.

testimony, Is that everybody connected
with the grain business is taking a dig at
the co-operative houses. Hlgby in his let
ter says to the Incorporators, they would
go to the wall, sooner or later any way, be
cause everybody was cutting them short,
so he had only ended the matter a little"
sooner.
Manager I. E. Von Dorn of the George
A. Adams Grain company was subpoenaed
as a witness to produce the books of the
local offlce, but declined to do so, saying
they had been sent to the head offlce.
The Gretna company has been temporarily
suspended, but has made an assessment
to tide It over the ahortage and will con

Mr. Otto, J003 Cuming street says: "When
I bought my range and you told me how
little fuel It would take and how quick it
would bake. I could hardly believe it, but
It seems to do better than, you said It
would."
Mrs. Bonewlts, 1018 South 46th says:
"I know that my range takes less fuel
and bakes quicker than others because I
have made comparisons. When I bought
I came near buying like my friends have,
but I am glad I didn't because I have a
better range."
