HONORABLE RECORD AS DISTRICT CLERK Hook Checked I'p liy One of .Monro' fUltfcr .Kiirmlf Count? flit o v hull A'unliint tin- tfii) or n tll.,.r...l r l The feature of tbo regular meeting of th Seventh Ward Republican club Thursday night was an address by V. 1. Klcrstead, ytha said, In part: "Tho opponents of Frank K. Moorcs, after examining his olllclnl record clo?oly and learning there was no placo where he could bo attacked upon It, began a campaign of ' falsehood and slander. They could not point to ono ordinance he had signed agaliiBt the ! Interests of the people, nor to one which he I had vetoed which would bcnellt them, but they thought they could mislead the people by misrepresentation, and they have been unceasing In their attempts to blacken his reputation. I deny that Frank K. .Moorcs ever robbed tho county, as has been charged, for ho eould not have done It. The county has owed blm ever Hlncc he was first elected to the otllco of district clerk. The year I ' was elected county commissioner .Mr. Moorcs 1 titepped out of otllre, and at that time there wero bills against tho county aggregating 1 thousands of dollars due Mr. Moores which wero unpaid. .Mr. Moores had run his offic e , liberally. Ho was paid with fees and had to pay his own ofllro expenses, which nt ono time were over Sl.flOO per mouth, and he paid his hills for labor, too. "Disputes aroto between Mr. Moorcs and the commissioners as to the right of the district clerk to retain certain fees, and that was the reason these bills of Mr. Moorcs had never been allowed. When I cetnu Into olllce I tried to get the matter of the fees straightened out. I found that the accounts of Mr. Moores had been cherked tip fby one of his bitterest enemies, Mr. Jiuane, and that ho was responsible for much of tho trouble between Mr. Moorcs and the. commissioners. I -want to say right bero thatthcro was ono place whore Mr. Moorcs was short In his accounts, and that (was Jf.T.r.O, which had never been reported by Huane, and as soon ui ho discovered tho Khortagn ho Immediately paid It into the treasury. Money line Muore. "After tho accounts of Mr. Moorcs had keen chccKcd up by Mr. limine thcro was found to be undlspiitcdly due Mr. Moores tho sum of $G,700, which wns allowed him by tho county commissioners, democrats and republicans both voting to allow It, and the warranlH laid in the hands of the county clerk for eight days longer than required by law, and there, wna no protest against de livering them tiled by these fellows who arc now claiming that Mr. Moores Is abort In his accounts with tho county. "Now as to tho maf.er of tne fees due witnesses. Mr. Moores has all along con tended that ho Is tho legal custodian of all fees paid Into the olllce during his In cumbency. Tho county court took an op Voslto view, but now Mr. Moores' position has been sustained by tho courts. If uny Witness has any fees still due him In cases In tho courts while. Frank Moorcs was clerk lind will -call on Mr. Moorcs they will get their money." Mel Iloerner, clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, at this point arose and con firmed the statements uf Mr. Klcrstead und tated that tho county would have to pay Mr. Mooren about $1,000 more as soon as bis nult against tho county was tried. j"Ycn," continued Mr. Klcrstead, "the !World-IIerald with as much truth as usual In Its political report's, states that the odtinty has sued Mr. Moores, when the fact Is that Mr. Moores has HUed tho county for fees withheld by tho commissioners. Tho "World-Herald never kicked on the bills fwhen,they were pending." A voice In the audience "No; but Hitch eock had a dueblll In the drawer of Henry Jlollu when ho was found to be a defaulter." At the close of Mr. Klorstcad's address Dr. M. (). Klcketts, Judge H. S. Haker, K. J,f. Hart It tt and several candidates de livered short talks. There will be no meeting of the Seventh Ward club until tho first Thursday In lAprll. Major I'uriiy-HefeniU Moure. "When you cast your ballot for Frank 15. IMoores," said Major J. 11.

('. 1'ratt, who spoke of tlie present campaign as tho we,lge which would force Nebraska Into the republican column next fall. The republicans of the city should vote for every candidate on the ticket, not for any personal reason, but tcause the nominees represented the prin ciples which had governed tho country visely and well. "It Is possible that can didates on the ticket may possibly not have been altogether cue's own personal ehoi.c." Mr. Trait said, "but in every convention thero must be trades, tickets must be a com promise of different elements of a parly." lieorgo K.

Judge Dickinson of the equity court hns decided that the olllclal ballots prepared for the approaching election do not In every re spect meet tho statutory requirements. This decision wus handed down Thursday after noon as tho result of mandamus action brought by fusion campaign managers. The plaintiffs set forth that the space between the names of the candidates Is not so wido hh the law dictates and that tho city clerk erred In removing the bracket from the end of the names of tho threo parties comprising tho fuslonlsts democrats, populists and sil ver republicans. At the conclusion of the hearing. Judge Dickinson ordered that one-fourth of nn Inch space be placed between the names and that tho dotttd lines be extended on the ballot to the square In which the fuslonlst voter should mako his cross-mark. The fiulonlsts took tho position that the ballot was mis leading and that It was liable to cause con fusion among tho voters. City Attorney Council, representing City Clerk Higby, against whom tbo mandamus action was di rected, made a showing to thu effect that no Intelligent voter would have reason to be misled. He thought It an easy matter to vote tho ballot as It stood. Republicans generally say that the change to bo made In thu ballot cuts no Ilguro and that It Is simply a technical Incident In the campaign. The hearing lu Judge Dickinson's court aroused but little interest among repub licans, but the fulanln seemed to lay great stress upon It. This means that a no. lot of ballots will have to be printed, thereby creating additional cost to taxpayers. Judge Dickinson's order applies only to tne list of candidates from mnyor down to the beginning of the council ticket. Aj to the names of council candldnte3, tho court held that the space was proper as the billot stood when the proceeding wns Instituted.
