RUBBER IS THE BALLOT BOX
Erawr with Which llterationi Were Made
Tound by Board.
EIGHTH WARD SEES END OF CHANGES
Discover? of (he Joker Marks the
Klalah of the Krrr Which
for fireenlenfs.
A rubber eraser mas found snugly tucked
away anilil the ballots In the box belong
ing to the, third precinct of the Eighth
ward during the progress of the recount
last night.
This was the feature of the proceedings
up to date and created something of a n
ration. It also marked the end of the al
terations In the ballot. The several boxes
opened after that disclosed no further eras
ures and no change from the published
count.
Two precincts of the Eighth ward wero
counted, In one of which nineteen batlois
showing the erasures were found and in
the othr, seventeen were disclosed. In
each of these the erasures were of the
cross mark opposite the name of Oreenleaf
and Its Insertion in front of the name of
Elbourn. The marking Indicates that it
was all done by the snme party. The
eraser was found In the second of these
box's.
The recount proceeded through the Ninth
ward and two precincts of the Seventh
ward, without disclosing any further eras
ures or other signs of tampering with the
ballots and without making any change in
the face of the poll books as canvassed.
The work of recounting will be continued
today, but it is not thought likely any
further changes will be discovered, as the
party engaged in the work evidently quit
after losing his little rubber, which Is now
in the possesion of Treaurer Fink.
Broateh and atoekham Oat.
It now seems certain an Investigation is
to be made through court channels. At
torney Burbank, who represents 8. K.
Oreenleaf, the nominee (or city clerk, la
securing affidavits from thu election offi
cers in the precincts Involved. Several
that have been obtained swear the ballots
were correctly counted by the election
boards and that when the ballots left the
hands of the board they bore no evidences
of tampering.
Developments In the primary election re
count Wednesday morning were the with
drawal of W. J. Broateh from the con
test to determine whether he or llennlngs
ran second to Benson; similar action on
the part of W. F. Stockham, candidate
for clerk, who started the whole affair,
and a statement by City Clerk Elbourn
that In view of the fact It was clear at
tempts had been made at fraud, he would
accept the poll book relurus In the
precincts where tampering was manifest.
Nevertheless, through his lawyer, T. J.
Mahoney, he Insisted upon a recount of
all the republican ballots cast on the office
all over the city. Mayor Ziiuman, us
chairman of the canvassing board, held
no leason existed why the board should
proceed merely to determine the facts re
garding the changed ballots. Inasmuch as
the candidates asked merely for a recount
on the ground of error. He said he was
willing to Investigate' for fraud, but first
wanted the returns as canvassed approved
and certificate of nomination Issued to
the successful candidates. He pointed out
that more than a week had elapsed since
the prlmuries and the republican candi
dates were anxious to get their campaign
started.
fclhoara Objects (a This. -
Klbourn and ilia attorney objected strenu
ously to this plan and the board ad
journed to 3 o'clock without counting any
' oatlot. in order to get an opinion from the
v-.ty legal department.
W. J. Broutch, unsuccessful mayoralty
, candidate, appeared before the board In
, .person and said he wanted to withdraw
nls petition for a recount on the office of
mayor.
"I would not have started Hie recount
if u contest had not been opened on the
clerkship," said he. "1 thought, as long
US the votes on clerk were to lie counted
it would be a good opportunity to check
up the mayoralty votes, as Hennmgs' ap
jutrent plurality over my figure l.s small.
It has developed there were raw. crude
and unmlstakrable efforts to tamper with
the ballots In certain precincts and I do
not care to have any further effort made
to verify the returns. I utn satisfied to let
It drop."
City Clerk Elbourn said the evidence of
fraud were so plain they could not he dis
regarded and that he was willing to accept
the poll book returns in the dis'rlcts af
fected, but he asserted lie wanted to see
tho recount made complete. In order to
develop all possible evidence of tampering.
4 ha age After Official Count.
Tivafuref- Kink, the third member of the
board said:
".There is no doubt that the bal
lots were changed after the count was
made by tha election officers and no fair
minded man can believe otherwise after
I investigating the conditions. Whether the
alterations were made while the boxes
w ie on their way to the city hall or after
' they were received here has not lieen

determined. In the First precinct of the
Second ward, which showed an apparent
gain of twenty-six votes for Elbourn, eigh
teen ballots had been fixed In his favor.
The original count showed eighty-two
votes for mayor, the head of the ticket
and only seventy-two for city clerk. The
recount showed only seventy-eight votes
for mayor and eighty-two fr clerk. Ap
parently nine or ten ballots were left
blank on clerk and mny have lieen fliled
l."
The board decided to discontiue the
remunt on mayor on the strength of Mr.
Broateh withdrawal and Attorney Bur
lank attempted lo have the same pro
cedure follow with regard to the clerk
ship. Elbourn asked time to consult with
liis attorney before agreeing to this and
received it. In the Interim, V. E. Btock
hnm withdrew his application for a recount
on clerk.
Looking- for (rooked Work,
"I wanted to see if any crooked work had
been done," said Stockham. "Certain per
sons posted rewards of IIOO for discovery
of frauds. I heard rumors of ballot fixing
and wanted to find out if they were true.
These reports related to precinct In tho
First and Second wards and I am satisfied
to drop It now."
"We have enough evidence now to open
the door of the penitentiary to one or
any number of fellows," said Burbank.
Mayor Zltuman and Attorney Mahoney
wrangled over the propriety of dropping
the contest. Elbourn, who had abstained
from acting as a member of the board on
the recount In which he was Interested, at
the direction of his lawyer, reassumed his
authority and proceeded to act as such.
Mayor Zimman was unwilling to go on
with the count, but Mahoney ordered El
bourn to open the ballot boxes and go
ahead. Treasurer Fink simplified matt
by suggesting a recess to get the legal
department's opinion and an akward situa.
tinn was solved, for Ziniman had taken
possession of the keys of the boxes of the
Third precinct of the Fifth ward, the next
one to be Investigated.
Roses Looked In Vault.
According to the riry elerk anil S. K.
Greenleaf. one of the clerks of the office,
and both candidates for the nomination at
the primaries, the ballot boxes after being
received Tuesday night and the following
morning remained In the office until
Wednesday evening. v Elbourn had gone
home to sleep, leaving no directions about
the boxes. Oreenleaf says he carried them
Into the vault In the main office and locked
them there. They remained there Wednes
day and Friday nights, but Thursday night
they remained unguarded In the outer office.
The bo ird of c;.nvnssers wag at work Thurs
day and Friday and the boxes were' In con
stant use during the day to get at the poll
books which were locked Inside. Saturday
morn I hi?, under Greenleaf's supervision, the
boxes were removed to the vault In the
basement and the combination look turned
by Oveenlenf.
Blbourn says Oreenleaf did not have the
combination to unlock this vault and that
only he and Sam Simonson. former chief
deputy In his office, possessed It.
Oreenleaf says he did not know the com
bination. There is no record of the boxes
having been disturbed up to Tuesday morn
ing, when they were brought up for the
recount. The night watchman says he Is
unable to throw any light on the subject
and noticed nothing wrong. The figures
on the clerk and mayor were totaled and
made semi-official Friday and published
In the papers that night.
City Attorney Kreen rendered an opinion
that the board was required to proceed
with the recount of the ballots on clerk
unless all affidavits demanding It were
withdrawn. At ? o'clock the recount of
the votes was taken up again, starting
with the Third precinct of the Fifth ward.
Democrat Wants a Krruont.
Kv L. Robertson, the democrat who, on
the face of the returns, was 'defeated for
the councllmunic nomination in the Ninth
ward by Tlionias MoGovern. has filed a
written application with the Hoard of Can
vassers for u recount of the vote on the
alleged grounds of error. McOovern's mar
gin over Robertson, as shown by the re
turns, was just sixty votes. The original
returns een snowed Robertson nomi
nated. Now, since contests appear to be
uuite the fashionable thing anyway, Mr.
Robertson thinks ho Juis been nominated,
and at any rate might Just as well have a
recount.
The board has taken under advisement
his application and probably will grant It.
Changes Made k Reroant.
In the ballots from the first district of
the Seventh waid six erasures from Oreen
leaf to Klbourn were discovered and the
board decided to take away six votes from
Elbourn and leave Greenleaf's original
count stand. It was by no means clear
that fraud had been committed in tills pre
cinct, although the erasing had been clev
erly done. In the third of the Fifth. El
bourn lost eleven votes and Greenleaf ten
and Htockhnni gained one. In the fourth
of the Fifth, Elbourn and Stockham lost
one each; Greenleaf lost one; In the first
of the Sixth, Elbourn lost one In the sec
ond; of the Sixth Elbourn gained and Stock
holm lost one; in the third of the Sixth,
Elliouin lost two and In the fourth of the
Sixth there wan no change. In the second

JEFFER1S FOR CHAIRMAN
Republican City Committee Oreanizes for
Coming Campaign.
HARMONY AND VICTORY THE WATCHWORDS
I'roeerdluas Knllvened by Short and
Karneat Talks b- Leaders Who
Are Unlisted for the
War.
A. W. Jefferis. chairman ; J. C. Klnsler,
vice chairman: Frank t Best, secretary,
and Charles Morgan, treasurer these were
the officers elected by the republican city
central committee at its meeting last night
In the court room on the seventh floor of
The Bee building.
Harmony seemed to be -the watchword
of the meeting. Kvory officer was elected
unanimously by motion, there being In no
Instance a second candidate. A score of
speakers expressed themselves as "for the
ticket from top to bottom." In no way
whatever did the question of strength in
the committee as between the Fontanelles
and the other crowd come to the test.
Forty-seven out of tirty-four members of
the committee were present al the roll cull
and two more arrived shortly after. Chair
man Robert Cowell called the meeting to
order and at once formally announced his
previously declared intention of retiring,
lie said:
I came Into being as a politician during
a storniv time. I have no apology to make
for niv attitude in that campaign three
vmri airn and I have no anoloK.v to make
iiow. 1 will support the ticket rrom top
to bottom. There never was a brighter
outlook and no man would dare hint of
defeat. It is a ticket.of business and pro
fessional men, all men of education, who
have their all staked' In this city. What
reason thenican liani lei for any good
republican not supporting the ticket at this
time? ...
Ha la nee la Treasurer's Hands.
Before asking for nominations Mr. Cowell
read the report of Treasurer Churl'-s K.
Morgan, allowing all debts paid and cash
on hand lo the amount of S130.U1, a situa
tion new In the history of the committee.
Ben J. Stone moved to make permanent
the organization of the committee by elect
ing A. W. Jefferls chairman. J. C. Klnsler
vice chairman. Frank C. Best seiretary
and Charles Morgan treasurer. The mo
tion was seconded and passed .without a
dissenting vote.
Hurry Cowdutoy and K. I Bradley nutl
lied Mr. Jefferls of his election and he took
the chair. In the course of bis address he
aid:
The time lias come when we must go to
work earnestly and honestly, early and
late, to elect the ri publican ticket. '1 lie
enemy are already on the ground: barreis
of lucre have been poured liwo their co
fers. We cannot aflord to let things Vie
run by a conglomeration not brave enough
to come out in the open before the pri
niurv, but which afterwards attempts to
steal thunder from the republican party.
The committee imssed a resolution offered
by Ben Stone, authorizing the chairman
to appoint an executive committee of which
he should be chairman ex-oftlclo. consisting
of one member from each ward, to formu
late plans for the campaign and carry them
out. Mr. Jefferls announced he would name
Hie committee today. Ijiter the chairman
was authorized to appoint an advisory com
mittee of five to act with the executive
committee.
Judge I.angdon moved to elect Robert
finilth asr.ist.tnt secretary, but Mr. Smith
objected, saying the selection should be lift
with the executive committee. Accordingly
the motion was withdrawn.
K. A. Benson was called on for an ad
dress, but, on account of a severe head
ache, he mide his remarks brief..
"The 'cl.ih' soeim; to be Instituted to put
out fake reports and it is putting tlieui
out fast." he said. "This morning an edi
torial in the World-Herald said it couldn't
be denied I had every corporation in the
city behind me. It ran be denied, and I
deny It here, and I throw the falsehood In
Mr. Hichiock's teeth."
The committee was addressed by a nuiii
Iwr of the candidates for office, also by
William crke, Jim Allen.-Frank Stone, M
J. Greevy, A. H. Burnett and others. W. F..
Johnson created no little amusement by
declaring that the opposition had a stolen
platform In which was Incorporated a lit
tle bit of t'ooley and a little tilt of Stuht.
The chair announced a meeting in the
Fifth ward at Sixteenth and locust streets.
Friday night. Adjournment was taken sub
