f Hrookhart Given
Iowa Certificate
of His Election
Statf* Council Find? He De
feated Steck by 755 Vote?;
Senator Believe? Cheek
Authentic and Final.
By Associated Prr«.
Des Moines, Nov. 24.—United States
Senator Smith W. Brookhart tonight
was In possession of the official cer
tificate of election, approved by the
slate executive council, following the
finding of that body today that the
senator received 755 more votes in
the November 4 elections than did
liis democratic opponent, Daniel F.
Stock.
The election certificate, which en
titles, the senator to the seat in the
United States senate, was Issued by
Secretary of State TV. C. Ramsay late
today. Senator Brookhart received
it personally, having spent the day
A st the state capltol building, where
7 the council made Its check of the
count canvasses.
The official figures In the senatorial
rontest, as given out by the executive
council, were:
Brookhart, 447,706.
Steck, 446,951.
The council’s check recorded five
more votes for Brookhart than the
unofficial figures compiled by the
Associated Press.
The check on the senatorial figures
was taken up before that bn presi
dent because of the rlo.se race and
♦ he fact that a contest will he brought
before the senate by Steck. Repre
sentative of both Brookhart and
Steck were admitted to the room
where the council checked the county
figures.
While the council was doing Its
Work, Senator Bro'okhart visited with
friends at the state house but was
somewhat reticent on congressional
matters. He indicated, however, that
it was his belief that farm Interests
would be as strongly championed In
the new congress as In the present
one.
Of the recent election, Senator
Brookhart said he felt certain the
check made by the executive council
today was authentic and final. A
contest by his opponent will only
strengthen his own position, Senator
Brookhart told friends. He was of
the opinion that the number of "ar
row ballots,” claimed by some to be
sufficient to throw the election in
•' favor of Steck, was negligible.
The senator leaves far Washington,
D. C., on Thursday.
