Contrary to recent charges by our chief of police, James no bondsman has ever appeared before me for his client except through his attorney." The judge then added: "I understand that Chief Cavender lias classed the courts of this building in the same category with bondsmen. For the chief's information, I would welcome a sweeping investigation into the affairs ot this court and its function by the grand jurv.
An Investigation of this kind would, I believe, prove Chief Cavender's recent insinuations to be without any foundation." Bondsman Is Irate. Whether or not the judge will make demands for an investigation of municipal court affairs could not be learned. Bondsmen in the halls of the municipal building were reluctant to talk. One of the more prominent bondsmen, who was implicated in a recent investigation, said; "The whole thing is a political plav and if this ordinance is passed by the council I promise vou a few revelations that will rock the city of Des Moines for ci Other bondsmen stated that they were a necessary part of legal procedure.

Two or three men twisted their fat necks to stare at her as she started along the crowded sidewalk. From the corner of her eyes Merry saw them look at her.

It flattered her. It convinced her that she was as pretty as shortly for Washington to assist the corn belt committee in its work for passage of a farm relief hill before the present session of Iconeress. Before startine for the capital, he will be the cen-jtral figure of the state federation of labor convention at Mason City, tomorrow. i larke Concedes ictorj Senator Cummins' campaign imanager, George W.
Clarke, con ceded today that Brookhart had won by a decisive vote. "We regard the vote as an expression of protest against existing conditions, rather than any lack of faith of the republicans of Iowa in Senator Cummins," Mr. Clarke said. "Senator Cummins will, of course, accept the result with the utmost grace and with the kindliest feeling toward all, both those who worked so earnestly for his nomination and those who so earnestly opposed him. "Iowa has honored Senator Cummins and he has equally hon ored lowa.

Should Brookhart decline to incorporate the Clark farm relief plan in his own or ai least to accept part of it. then Mr. Clark nrob ably would become an antl-Brook-hart factor this fall.
Whether this would bring Clark, out as an independent or as an outspoken supporter of an acceptable democratic candidate. Is doubtful. ONE WOMAN WINS OF THREE RUNNING FOR LEGISLATURE Ethel G.

Mr. Cook said manv judges failed to report to the school of instruction held last week to make them acquainted with their duties. Machines O. K. Mr.
Cook vehemently declared that the voting machines were O. K. He said onlv lack of knowledge and failure to follow minute Instructions, could causa trouble with them. Complaints of voters that they voted in the primaries two vears ago, but that their names were not on the books when they went to the polls in the same precinct yesterday, are erroneous, Mr. Conk is convinced.
Only those who voted at the primary two years ago were to be on tne books for this nr marv he said. Voting at the last general election did not qualify one to vote at this primary withortt be ing sworn in. as tne cartv affi a- tion is an essential element, and a general election ballot does not identify a voter In that way. xrr. cook also believes many of those who think their names were lost, have confused voting at one of the city elections, or the school election, with voting at the last primary.
When the county was redistrlcted, he said, his men, trained in accuracy, transcribed the names into new books to fit the revised precincts, and be i convinced no error was made. Some Refused to Serve. Further confusion resulted, Mr. Coo.k said, in attempting to the legal requirement that at each poll the republicans have two judges and one clerk, and the democrats, one Judge and one rlerk. It was found that frequently the democrats declined to serve, necessitating late substitute' appointments.
Yesterday's confusion was anticipated because of the changes, Mr. Cook said, but from now on, he continued, there should be little difficulty. Mrs. Anna Edworthv, judge In the third precinct of the seventh ward, was one of the outstanding critics of yesterday's primarv. She declared that not half the names mat should have been on the books in her precinct were there.
Voters Misinformed. Voters frequently forgot that! they went to the polls as mem-! hers of a political party; not as i voter to ballot for whoever thev I chose, and quite often squabbles resulted when a voter, after de-j 'minx iiinniion witn one oi tne parties, voted part way across the ballot and then sought to jump over Into the other party' section of the ballot to vote for a favorite name. At Sllberman's grocery, Twenty-fourth and High streets, a woman, after starting to mark her ballot, held up one of the machines fifteen minutes while she ran down to her husband to find out which candidate for supervisor he had told her to vote for.

If she hadn't lost that bloom that freshness and modesty-would she have dropped her purse today? Would she have given the Man In Gray a chance to speak to her, walk along the street with her, take her somewhere to lunch perhaps? Merry knew the answer only too well. A blush of honest shame flamed in her cheeks aa she sat there with her face hidden in her arms.
All afternoon she worked hard In order to shut the Man In Gray out of her thoughts. She didn't like to think of anything unpleasant. And the little drama of the dropped handbag had become a most unpleasant thing to thfnk about. For the first time in the eight months she had sat at her desk, she paid attention to her work. But that afternoon at 4 o'clock, when she was getting ready to go, Mr.
Klnch called her to him. "Miss Locke," he said, clearing his throat and looking at her over the top of his horn-rlmmed glasses. "Miss Locke, I am not satisfied with your spelling. And, as you know, yon failed In both of your speed tests the one for typewriting and the one for shorthand "All right," Merry broke In cheerfully, "I'll just keep on coming until I make good. Thai's all there Is to do, I guess." And she went out with an air of having- settled the question.
But she knew that it was far from being settled. She knew that Moms would be furious when she found out that she had failed in spelling and two speed tents. "She'll raise the roof when 1 tell her, I suppose." Merry thought gloomily as she started home. She decided to walk the long way to Chester street. Kor at half past four there was sure to be plenty of work to be done at home pens lo be shelled, potatoes to be scraped, or silver to be cleaned.
And Merry hated to work. As she turned Into Chester street at twenty minutes past five, a little roadster drew up beside her. On one side of It was painted the legend, 'Teaches, here's your ar." In it sat a long, lanky youth with red hair, countless freckles and a very nice pair of twinkling blue eyes. He was pressed In a bright pink shirt, white trousers, and from one corner of his month dangled a big black pipe with a gold band around It like an old-tashloned wedding ring. Dad Locke.
This was Derrick Jones, who had kissed Merry In the romantic moonlit stillness of the 1ockes' barnyard only last night. But there was nothing roman-tlce about the look that she gave him now.

Miss Samuelson had maintained a slight lead since late last night. The contest for lieutenant governor was favoring the incumbent, Clem F. Kimball, when 881 precincts had been heard from.

Brookhart Strong Everywhere. The Brookhart plurality was rolled up in nearly all the rural counties and a number of the more populous districts slso gave him the advantage. His lead amounted to nearly .60 per cent of the total vote cast, while only 35 per cent is required by the primary law for nomination. His campaign managers were claiming that his plurality would be about 75.000. In the democratic senatorial contest, Claude R.
Porter, who has several times been a candidate for the senate, was leading J. G. Mur-tagh of Waterloo and J. Ray Files of Fort Dodge by several thousand. Porter's percentage, like that ot Brookhart, had been running well above the necessary 35 per cent throughout the night.
Mr. Porter is a Des Moines lawyer and served as United States assistant attorney general under the Wilson administration, when he prosecuted a number of cases against I. W. W. members during the war period.

Clyde L. Herring, democratic national committeeman, issued a statement declaring the "republican regulars who failed to nominate Senator Cummins would be welcome to the democratic fold In November," Indicating that already the democratic organization was planning an extraordl- nary drive on behalf of the nominee ftf that party, hoping that a repetition of the 1924 upset might result from a republican splltyiver Brookhart. It wa in that year that republicans and democrats combined to give 8enator Dan F. Rteck enough votes to win a contest for the seat to which Colonel Brookhart wan certified. Burt B.
Burnqulst, chairman of the republican state central com mittee. interpreted the nomina tion of Colonel Brookhart as a slap at the national administration for failure to get behind one of the farm programs acceptable to Iowa and which still are before congress.

Half a block away, the Man In Gray had not yet caught sight of her. His eyes searched the faces of the crowd that moved past him in a steady stream.
There was no doubt that he was looking for someone. Merry knew that It was for her he was looking! The fact thrilled her right down to the very tips of her toes. Then suddenly he saw her! His dark eyes seemed to burn a path to her above the heads of the people between them. They seemed to be saying: "There you are, at I've found you! A pulBe In Merry's throat began to beat like mad as he came nearer and nearer, still with his unsmiling eyes on her. Was he going to speak to her? She was dreadfully afraid that he was going to! And yet that was the very thing she most wanted him to do! Then, all at once, she realized that he was going to pass her Just as he had every day for a week.
Without a smile or a word. "Now or never!" she made up her mind tn a flash. "If he's ever roing to sueak to me. it's cot to be now." And Just as he was about to pass her she dropped her leather handbag at his very feet. Merry Is Rebuffed.
She looked at him as she did It, and smiled straight into his eyes. But he did not smile hack at her as she expected him to. He frowned in a startled, 'puzzled way and stopped to pick up the little brown bag. Without a word he put It into her hands, gravely lifted his hat, and went on down the Blreel. Merry watched him until he was out of sight.
Then she turned and walked slowly back i Into the building. All the danc ing lightness was gone from her Htep. Bark ot her desk In the empty class room she began to call her- self a little fool. She hated her- seir i or tne ining sne naa none. She had made herself cheap nnrl common.
She had Ipt lht i Man In Gray think that she was i the cheap sort of girl who would drop her purse on the street. Just In order to scrape acquaintance with him. Of course, that must be what he thought about her, now! The look that he had given her had 'told her that, as plainly as words. Sick at heart, Merry put her yellow head down Into her folded I arms. She was too unhappy even I to rrv.
Something that Moms had been dinning Into her ears for I years, flashed across her mind. It had never meant anything to Merry until this minute. "A girl who lets men kls her and maul her Is like a pearh that loses its bloom from too much 'handling," was what Moms had said. i Kor the first time In her rre less, carefree life Merry began to see dimly what Moms had said. sne hadn let tne wan in tiray kiss her and maul her.

Derrick gazed after her, and scratched the back of his sunburned neck thoughtfully. "Well!" he exploded to himself after several seconds, "what, do you suppose ails her today?" Puzzled, he turned his car and drove up beside her again. "Doncha care, honey.
Hop in. and I'll drive you home." he said. "You look as if youll just had a tooth pulled or something." Merry smiled. "I ifel like it, too," she answered. "I feel as low as seaweed, Derry." Hut she didn't get Into the car.
The backyard was hot and bright with the slanting sunlight of lute afternoon. As Merry opened the gate, Dad got up from the garden he was unfailing cheerfulness, weeding and came toward her. "Well, I hear It's your birthday," be greeted her with his He slipped a folded bill Into her hand when she put her arms around him. Merry was Dad's favorite daughter, and she loved him as she never had loved Moms. He was a small, stout, middle-aged man, as cheerful in his way as Merry in hers.
Twenty-seven years of poverty and failure had not made him bitter. He could still joke with Moms when she lashed him with her tongue bs she often did. If he didn't hnve the money to pay the monthly bills, he put them away and forgot them until the first of the next month. his neighbor was richer than he was, Lad was glad of his neighbor's success. He worked hard and he envle4 no one anything.
But Moms never gave hljfi credit for that. "You're Just plain shiftless, that's what!" Merry had heard her tell him scores of time. "Get up and hustle a little lilt, and you'll find that money will come your way. too!" she seemed to think that Dad slept all day down at the wholesale grocery house where he worked. She came out on the back porch now, and stood there with her hands on her hips looking at the pair beside the gate father and daughter, for Her He Was looking! a radio receiving set.
"Hello, Gloomy Gert!" chirped Jinny, looking up as her sister opened the door of the little room, "Who's been hung?" Merry shrugged her shoulders. "I've Just flunked my two speed tests down at the school," she said, taking off her hat and flinging her slender body down on the bed. "Oh. boy, how I hate to tell Moms about It. She'll Just raise the roof when she hears it!" Jinny put her red head to one side.
