With the exception 'of the withdrawal
from the contest of A. E. Cook of Malvern,
th eandidate from Mills county, after the
157th ballot, there was pnctlcaliy no change
In the situation when the convention ad
journed at 6:15 p. rn. until this morning.
At various times during the balloting the
names of several "dark horses" were
brought out by the Pottawattamie county
delegation In an effort to break the dead-

peded.
On th sixty-seventh ballot W. C. Hat
cliff, county attorney of Monigjmery
county and secretary of the convention, re
ceived otia vote. On th next ballot he
received four and then on the sixty-ninth
ballot Pottawattamie, county cast Its entire
twenty-eight vote for Ratcliff. . On the
next Joint ballot Katcllff oga'n received the
twenty-eight votes from Pottawattamie
county, but after this his boom met with a
sudden death and the "dark horse" from
Montgomery county faded from th lime
light. , ,
Charles M. Harl of this "city, a member
of the Pottawattamie county delegation re
ceived one vote, but his name did not again
appear during the balloting, tleorge II.
Mayne, another member of tho Pottawat
tamie delegation, aleo received one vole on
the ninety-eighth ballot.
Pottawattamie Tries Another.
On the 132d ballot Pottawattamie county
Injected the name of E. 13. Woodruff, a
member of the Mills county bar. Into the
conversion by giving him four voles. Mr.
Woodruff remained In tho field until the
lo.Td ballot, when Tottawattamle county
changed Its eight votes from him to V.
Scott Lewis, another member of the Mhls
county bar. Mr. Lewis was dropped, how
ever, after two ballots, and for three more
ballots Pottawattamie county gave Mr.
Woodruff eight of Its votes.
On tho :8th ballot Fremont county
brought Jud3e W. N. Macy forward by
giving him Its eight votes, but this attempt
to stampede the convention failed to work.
Dr. Wood of the Shelby county delegation
announced that Judge Macy did not seek
and would not accept a renomlnatlou under
any circumstances and asked that his
wishes be complied with, arxi his name was
not mentioned.
Tho withdrawal of A. E. Cook of Mills
county came shortly after a recess liad
been taken for thirty minutes at 3:15 p. m.
In a short address Mr. Cook said he de
sired to release the Mills county delegates
from his support and that while doing so
he was not doing it Irj the interest of any
one of the other four candidates. "The
delegates who have stood so loyally by me
can go where they please and when they
chooso. I do not withdraw In favor of any
candidate. It Is for the convention to de
cide. I know that this convention wants to
do what la best for the Interests of the
Fifteenth Judicial district."
The withdrawal of the Mills county can
didate did not, however, clear the situation,
and th thirty-one ballots which followed
before adjournment failed to bring about a
loosening of the deadlock.
After the lSlit ballot Chairman Garvin of
th Pottawattamie county delegation moved
to adjourn to (:3u Thuisday morning, but
on a roll call beinar taken the motion was
lost by a vol of 9 to .'. After the lth
ballot Mr. Galvln again made a motion for
adjournment, aa It ai evident, he said.
that the convention was no nearer settling
the question of a nomination than it waa
when It assembled In the morning. Mr.
Galvln Incidentally suggested that the cir
cus was In town and he was sure many
of the delegates wanted to take It In after
supper. This time ho carried the day and
tho convention adjourned in a hurry.
Arthur Near Nomination.
At one time during the morning session
It looked as if a break In the direction
of Arthur! the Harrison county candidate,
waa imminent. On the seventy-ninth bal
lot, which was the sixteenth following
the adjournment Tuesday afternoon,
Audubon cast Its eight votes solid for
Arthur, whllo Pottawattamie county gave
Mm twenty-five out of its twenty-eight,
Its other three votes going, two to Uee
son, the Montgomery candidate, and one
to Rockafellow, the Cass county candi
date. The voto of Shelby county would
have given Arthur the nomination, a-i he
only lacked ten of the required fifty-five,
but Shelby stuck by tt3 candidate, George
Culllson. On tho next ballot Arthur went
back to his former position In tno con
tent and the flurry was over for the time
being, i The highest vote Arthur secured
during the rest of the day was forty on
the lMth ballot.
Ueeson, tho Montgomery county candi
date received forty-three votes on the
111th and 112th ballot. On the 17JJ bal
lot he went from 40 to 47 and up to Ihe
17Hth ballot had forty-seven voles, as
against thirty-four for Arthur. After that
he did not get beyond the 42 mark.
Rockafellow of Cass county was high
man several times during the balloting,
but at no time did he receive over thirty
one vote.
Culllson's normal vote was sixteen, al
though on the UOih ballot he led wih
thirty-three votes, but on the very next
ballot he went bark to sixteen.
Cook's highest vote at any time yesterday
wsi twenty-two, but from the 137th to the
157th ballot, following which he withdrew
from the contest, his vote remained sta
tionary at nine.
I-ate last night at the Grar-d hotel, where
most of the delegates congregated, It wai
stated that the situation was unchanged
and that no broak In the lineup of counties
had been reported.

1IIGI1ES IS EI.KCTED SECRETARY
Democratic Members Give Hint the
IVrcpssary Four Vote.
At the annual meeting of the Board of
Education last night J. J. Hughes was
elected secretary by four votes as against
three for Dillon Uoss, who has held the
position for several years. The election
was by secret ballot,' and It Is presumed
that Mr. Hughes received the votes of the
four democratic members, President Tin
ley, Schoedsack, Capell and Reed, while
Mr. Ross had the votes of the three re
publican members, KUlpack, Shugart and
Elliott. Mr. Hughes is chairman of the
democratic city central committee and
member of the slate democratic committee
from the Ninth district.
The salary of the new secretary was
not fixed, as It was suggested that it would
be economy for the board to consolidate
the positions of secretary to the board and
secretary to the superintendent. Mr. Ross
as secretary of the board received J50 a
month for the entire year, while Miss Gib
bons as secretary to the superintendent re
ceived I"i0 a month for ten months. As
Miss Gibson has already been re-elected to
the position of secretary to the superin
tendent and Mr. Hughes was elected as
secretary to the board. It is not plain, as
Member Killpark suggested, how the board
can now consolidate the two positions.
Reuben Herner was re-elected aa truant
officer and his salary fixed as before.
As tho financial committtee desired more
time to Investigate the financial needs of
Die school district, the matter of fixing
the amount needed for the maintenance
of the school for the ensuing year to be
raised by lax levy was deferred to a
meeting to be held later In the month.
The following report made by Secretary
Ross shows the present condition of the
school finances:

The annual statistical report of the sec
retary gave the following Items: Number
of rooms In schools, 141; number of male
teachers, 9; number of female teacheis, K.3;
average ray of male teachers, $131.71; av r
age pay of female teachers, $.S7. The
school census Just completed shows 3.S97
boys, and 3.730 girls, a total of 7,627. Last
year the census gave 7,572 children of school
age, so there has been only an Increase
of fifty-five during the last year. The
cost of tuition per pupil per month was
$2.20. The value of the school buildings Is
$;),( 0.
The report of the committee on fuel and
heating showed that 1.34s tons of coal at
$3 64 per ton had been used, the copt being
i,lS0.51. During the winter of 1906-07, 1,246
tons at $3 55 had been used the total cost
being $4.4M.5. For the winter of 19n6-07 the
est f coal was $3,772.62.
The following resolution introduced by
Member Shoednack at a former meeting
was finally adopted after considerable dis
cussion: Resolved. That tho bosrd considers it
detrimental to the discipline of our schools
and beneath the dignity of our teachers
to take part, in or promote, or in any way
lilentny themselves, In a public contest
Willi a prize r a premium as a reward.
Therefor Re It Resolved. That If anv
