tlio Moral They Joiut to
The election is over and the bonds
have carried by a majority of 35 votes
according to the canvassing board
whii e met and counted the returns
Monday afternoon
Tii is means that Cherry county is to
have a new court house something
which is a crying necessity
Jt means that those who were short
sighted enough to work against the
improvement are to be benefited as
well as those public spirited citizens
who believe in -advancement and
economy
Up to the time the canvassing board
met Monday evening it was supposed
that he bonds had failed to carry be
cause the vote as reported by the var
ious parties who brought in the re
turns was as follows

and fheretums from those precincts
ere uoireounted In fact from tbese
pwieincts there were legally no re
turns at all the election board in three
precincts failing to sign the poll books
and in the two others no votes either
fr or against were certified to
There will probably be more or less
kicking over this action of the board
but under the law nothing else could
be done There will undoubtedly be
talk of mandamus or contest proceed
ings but the less there is done the
better off the opponents to the bonds
will be
The canvassing board counted all
returns which were properly signed
and certified to They could not
question the validity of the returns
when this was done but if a contest
ensues facts like the following will be
brought out and the vote from each
of the precincts named will undoubt
edly be cast out by the district court
In Buffalo Lake one of the clems
took the oaths of theremaining mem
bers of the board Under the law the
oath must be administered by one of
the judges the clerks having no
authority to administer same
In Boiling Springs the clerks sworo
each other and the three judges were
unsworn
The ballots from Enlow were not
sealed but came in loose This in ad
dition to the fact that the book was
not signed by the board
One of the clerks in Irwin was not
sworn
Xone of the board in Kewanee was
sworn
in Kennedy die board was unsworn
anv it is evident that one man signed
treatment of Dr Evans and kind tne Hanws of his four companions on
the board
In addition no return was
certified
A D Gallop appears from the depo
sitions to have been the only officer in
Mernman though five persons signed
the returns
In Mother Lake the board was
sworn in by C S Johnson as assessor
but an assessor has no power to ad
minister oaths only as legards proper-
The party of osteologists under the ty
One of the clerks in Pleasant Hill
swore in the board and the same
thing occured in Schlegel

There is food for reflection in the
foregoing The mistakes given show
a lack of care or education Every
poll book has printed upon it plain in
structions and it seems difficult to go
wrong yet it is done An election
board is supposed to be composed of
men possessing average intelligence
and it is a sad rellection upon our peo
ple when so many eiror are made
This may serve to caution election
boards of the future to be more care
ful in making up returns It is rather
hard to have thn vote of a whole pre
cinct annulled on account of the in
competency of one or two men
The vote throughout the county was
light every precinct except two show
ing a large decrease from the total
vote of last fall the decrease in the
whole county being 488 The twa
precincts which cast nearly the same
vote as last fall were Mother Lake 30
and Buffab Lake 47 A study of the
returns will show that precincts return
ing majorities against the bonds polled
a larger percentage of their total vote
8than did those in favor Wood Lake
for instance polled less than 50 per
cent of its vote Kewanee 33 per cent
Eli lesB than 50 percent Table 50 per
cent Nenzel less than 50 per cent and
so on while Buffalo Lake got out 113
per cent Mother Lake 90 per cent
Gillaspie 80 per cent etc This cer
tainly indicates that the sentiment of
the majority is in favor of the bonds
The canvassing board was composed
of Geo Elliott county clerk W S
Jackson merchant and D II Thurs
ton attorney and they were unanimous
in their decision to throw out the vote
of the five precincts
