HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY
POLITICAL STATUS OF JONES COUNTY.
Attention has been given to the religious and social conditions in Jones county, and it will form an interesting chapter to review the political situation. A gov- ernment of the people, by the people and for the people cannot well exist and prosper without having its principles supported, and this is usually done by or- ganizations called political parties.
Politically, Jones county has been since 1856, a republican county. The new party movement in 1874, called the anti-monopoly movement, formed an alliance with the democratic party, which in 1873, elected their ticket by from three hun- dred to four hundred majority. Some of those on the ticket had previously been republicans. They were opposed however, by the regular republican nominees, and their success was of course a defeat of the opposite party.
The formal organization of the republican party was effected on the 5th day of january, 1857, at a meeting held in Anamosa on that date, of which C. L. D. Crockwell was chairman, and George Higby, secretary
A committee to report a plan of organization was appointed, composed of A. H. Marvin, of Monticello ; Thomas S. Hubbard, of Castle Grove; W. S. Niles, of Madison ; H. O. Brown, of Clay ; J. S. Dimmitt, of Fairview. The committee reported the following resolution which was adopted :
Whereas, We have full confidence in the national organization of the republi- can party, and believe that we should use all honorable means for the triumph of its principles ; therefore,
Resolved, That the republicans of Jones county adopt the following course for an organization in said county : First, That there be a central committee of three appointed, residents of Anamosa, who shall constitute a board whose duty it shall be to call meetings, conventions, etc., in this county, and shall attend to the distribution of tickets at elections ; Second, That an executive committee of one from each township be appointed to cooperate with the central committee, and to call meetings in their several townships; Third, That the central and executive committees shall elect from their number a president, treasurer and secretary
As this central committee, W. J. Henry, C. L. D. Crockwell and J. S. Dimmitt were chosen.
The following township executive committee were chosen : Milo Q. Thompson of Cass ; George Higby of Castle Grove ; John Russell of Clay ; Pratt R. Skinner of Fairview ; Thomas Goudy of Greenfield ; C. F. Lewis of Hale; M. H. Byerly of Jackson ; John Niles of Madison; A. H. Marvin of Monticello; Jas. Kent of Oxford : A. G. Brown of Pierce (now Wyoming) ; Barrett Whittemore of Rich- land ; D. R. Carpenter of Rome ; John E. Lovejoy of Scotch Grove : G. C. Mudgett of Wayne.
A. H. Marvin and W. H. Holmes were the first delegates chosen to represent Jones county in the republican state convention of 1857.
It is to be regretted that a similar record cannot be given of the formation and organization of the democratic party in Jones county.
The republican and the democratic parties have been the leading political or- ganizations in Jones county. From the record before us, from 1852 down to the past election, the republican party has carried the county at every election, as to

the head of the ticket, except at four elections, to wit: In 1889 Horace Boies de- feated Hutchinson for governor by a vote of two thousand one hundred and eighty-eight for Hutchinson, republican, to two thousand, two hundred and sixty- seven for Boies, democrat ; again, in 1891, Boies, democrat, two thousand, five hun- dred and twenty-six votes to two thousand, four hundred and twenty-two for Wheeler, republican ; in 1892, Grover Cleveland, democrat for president, by a vote of two thousand four hundred and nineteen to two thousand four hundred and fort, defeated Benjamin Harrison, republican ; and in 1906, Porter, democrat, by a vote of two thousand two hundred and sixty-one, defeated Cummins, republican, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, for governor. The high mark of the republican party was in 1868, when Grant defeated Seymour by a majority of one thousand one hundred and twenty-seven; again in 1872, when Grant defeated Greely by a majority of one thousand and forty-eight; and again in 1880, when Garfield, republican for president received two thousand six hundred and seven- teen votes as against one thousand six hundred and twenty-seven for Hancock, democrat, Garfield receiving a majority of nine hundred and ninety. The next highest nark was in the presidential election in 1900, when Mckinley, republican, defeated Bryan, democrat, by a majority of nine hundred and sixty-nine.
The vote on local county nominees has not always followed the vote for the head of the ticket. Frequently there have been several of the county offices filled by democrats. The vote the past few years has been very close. At the present time the sheriff, superintendent of schools, recorder, county attorney and four county supervisors, are democrats ; while the auditor, clerk of the court, treasurer, coroner and one county supervisor are republicans.
Other political parties have existed in Jones county, but none have ever gath- ered much support. The greenback movement made a small start, having cast forty-four votes in 1876. The prohibition party has developed some strength and has had a county ticket in the field at each election for several years. At the election in 1908, the prohibition party received fifty-two votes in the county; while the socialist party cast twenty-three votes and the people's party received two votes, both from Richland township.
The taxpayers' party was organized in Jones county through the personal ac- tivity of John G. Krouse of Madison township, in 1897, and a county ticket was placed in the field. Although receiving promises of support, at the election less than twenty votes were cast for the party. The party platform enunciated a number of good principles, but several of its planks did not meet with sufficient approval to make it a permanent party.
There have been a number of quite aggressive campaigns. During the presi- dential campaigns of 1888 and 1892, the republican party was thoroughly organized, marching clubs with streaming banners and flaming torches fired the zeal of the young voters, while the orators proclaimed in burning words the calamity which would follow the election of the candidates of the opposing party. Several barbecues and ox roasts followed the victory in 1892. The democratic party conducted a "gum shoe" campaign and with a thorough organization and personal solicitation, secured a strong and influential following.
The practical workings of the primary law has had a tendency to demoralize the party organizations, and cripple the effectiveness of the party, and also stifle

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY
the ambitions of candidates of limited means residing in the lesser populated districts.
Since the enactment of the primary election law, the county convention has become a memory. The democratic county conventions have usually been con- ducted without much factional feeling, though there have been exceptions. The last few conventions held by the party had developed quite an active factional feeling. The Cleveland and Bryan wings, the sound money and the free silver branches, clashed on the floor of the convention and the question of party di- plomacy in the selection of candidates, became an interesting one. The republican county conventions likewise have been the center of skillful party manipulation, and the selection of candidates, strenuous. In the convention in 1903, fifty-six ballots were required to nominate a county attorney, the longest battle of ballots in the history of the county. J. E. Remley of Anamosa, A. A. Cole of Olin, R. M.' Corbit of Wyoming and A. G. Bauder of Monticello, were the candidates, the latter receiving sufficient votes to nominate on the fifty-sixth ballot. Each candi- date having had his hearing on the floor of the convention, harmony and good will followed the meeting. The conventions and caucuses of the prohibition party have been harmonious in the extreme, and the candidates have been nominated and defeated without as much as a ripple on the surface of their party waters.
Notwithstanding some indiscretions in the party nominations, good men have uniformly been elected to office in Jones county. No county officer has ever been removed for incompetency or misconduct, nor has there ever been a charge pre- ferred against any county officer for misconduct or inefficiency. It is true there have been superior men in office, and because of this the standard of the office has been raised. The best men do not always seek office or allow themselves to be thrust into office. Neither do the most competent candidates always secure the election. It is necessary to good government that there should be at least two strong opposing political parties, and so long as Jones county enjoys this necessity, the standard of efficiency in office will be maintained.

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY
EARLY MARRIAGES AND MARRIAGE LICENSES.
The first couple married in Jones county were Thomas J. Peak of Monticello and Miss Rebecca M. Beardsley. This event of historic interest took place on Christmas day, 1839. The groom was a native of Cheshire county, New Hamp- shire, where he was born September 9, 1813. In 1837 he came to Iowa from Illinois in company with B. Beardsley, locating claims in what is now Castle Grove township. They returned to Illinois for the winter, and in the following April returned to Iowa and took permanent possession of their claims. The bride was a daughter of B. Beardsley and was born in Delaware county, New York. Mr. Peak died at Monticello, January 8, 1900, and Mrs. Peak died at the same place, December 24, 1907.
In those pioneer days, the procuring of a marriage license was more than a formal matter, and was not as easily obtained as now. Mr. Peak had to go to Sugar Grove, Cedar county, Iowa, a distance of sixty-five miles taking him four days. But as his mind was in a happy frame, and his thoughts dwelt on the happy event which was about to take place in his life, the effort had its reward and he felt well repaid for his trouble.
William Moore and Alvira Neal, parents of Mrs. T. A. King, the present wife of the steward of the county home, might have had the distinction of being the first couple married in the county, had it not been that the license was procured in Dubuque county. They resided a short distance from the Dubuque county line, and the officiating clergyman required the wedding couple to walk over the line into Dubuque county to be within the jurisdiction of the license, and there just over the borders of Jones county, under the sheltering protection of a large oak, in May, 1839, they were pronounced man and wife in the presence of five of their friends who had accompanied them likewise on foot.
The first marriage license issued in Jones county was granted to Edmund Booth and Mary Ann Walworth, July 25, 1840, and on the following day they were married by Justice John G. Joslin. This is the first marriage that appears on the record in the clerk's office at Anamosa at the present time. Anent the pro- curing of this license also hangs a tale. Mr. Booth went to the clerk's house to get a permit, as it was termed, to be married. The clerk was not at home, and as he had no office other than his cabin and residence, this was naturally the place where he would be expected to be found. Mr. Booth was told that the clerk was cradling wheat about two miles north of Cascade. Nothing daunted, Mr. Booth set out on foot in search for the clerk who was found working for a man named Brown. When Mr. Booth got there, neither of them had any pen or pencil or paper to write out the permit. Printed forms were not then in use in the clerk's office. Mr. Booth and Mr. Clerk then returned to Cascade where the permit was written and signed. With a lighter heart, Mr. Booth trudged his way homeward and on July 25, 1840, the first marriage ceremony in the county was performed under the authority of a Jones county license.
It is also of interest to note in connection with the marriage of Mr. Booth and Miss Walworth that the justice of the peace was not burdened with marriage information and had no form other than what appeared in the newspaper which he happened to have. The printed service used in the marriage of Queen Vic-

toria and Prince Albert, who had been married on February 10th previous, was in the newspaper which Justice Joslin happened to have in his possession. This was read by Justice Joslin in the ceremony. Both the bride and the groom were deaf mutes; neither could speak a syllable or hear a sound. The marriage was simplicity itself. There was no gorgeous display of bridal flowers and neither was there present a grand retinue of bridesmaids to make the event similar in splendor to the modern day ceremony. The union of hearts and the cementing of the lives was perfect in spirit and sufficient unto the day was the happiness thereof.
There were two more marriages in the year 1840. In 1841 the number increased to eleven for the year.
We herewith give the names of the parties married in Jones county, down to December 30th, 1854, including the first marriage, which is not of record in the Jones county records. The other data given, has been taken from the rec- ords found in the office of the clerk of the district court.
