"oh, | can't stand him at ALL" was the
reply.
But he's friend Of mine" nterposed the
doctor
81 can't help that. It's really too bad if
he is friend of yours"
But you must vote for him." insisted the
doctor "By voting for him you'l be helping
me. If Jacobsen is elected commissioner my
appointment as county physician Is a sure
thing. | have his promise already"
We'll of course that puts the matter in
an altogether different light"
Deputy Westberg has not yet volunteered
to play the role of Comptroller Olsen's scape-
goat. Some people are ungratefu
There is nothing that bowling dervish
will not deny. He will deny that he is a
m amber Of an oathbound political order He
will deny that he ever bolted republican
ticket, although he may be one of the
notorious Twenty-eighters. He will deny that
there has been a de:acation in the city
treasury. He will deny that the city has
paid for killing more dogs than were drowned
No wonder. then that the demo-dervish organ
should deny authoriatively that Sackett is
to be Albyn Franks deputy. That denial
can be fled away for future reference with
all the others.
Johnny Mcdonald now denies that he was
present at the Lininger banquet. Why did
Johnny remain silent under the charge Of
political treachery for six long years?
Chatter's little paragraph about Carr AK
| ford's peculiar financial methods seems to
have awakened that hitherto proyerbally
near person to a sense of his past stinginess
and it is now the pleasure of this depart
ment to announce that not only s the would
be councilman paying his political assess
| ments, but he is contributing literally to
church funds, charitable ventures and any
thing in fact that gives him an opportunity
to show his generous nature. Just how
| badly he wants to be councilman will likely
not b. known till full returns are in from
The touching committees but it is the word
now that no worthy cause will be sent away
ford till after the votes are counted, at least
If you desire to see him. you would do we'll
to go early and avoid the jam. p. S.--Mr.
Affords boy had to tramp it from Kansas
| City to Omaha all the same.
Hon. Jim Allan is prosperng we'll in the
matter of street railway transportation.
| few years ago he used the red chips that
are given out by the motor officials in re-
! turn for small favors. Then he secured an
| employees pass and used that until his cleo
! tion to the Legislature when he was pro-
NOTED on the list and furnished with a presi-
! dents pass, which he still uses. If he is
! elected to the council he expects to have
! special cars run for him.
| G.. S. Benewa, one of the candidates on
| the dervish ticket for city councilman, has
| made plea for the barber vote by parting
| with the flowing rasbutans that have adorned
| his face since his arrival in Omaha years
ago. 1t is suspected that Mr.. Banewa is so
| heartily ashamed of the company he is in
that he has sought to disguise himself and
| thus save himself the humiliation that he
would naturally feel when caught in the
company he is training with. Now, If Major
Dennis will shave off those goat trimmings
that have been his pride so long the barber
vote ought to be solid for the derviph ticket.
Israel Frank is already working for endorsa-
ments for the appointment as meat inspector
in case Broatch the Penman and Promlsar is
| elected for mayor. Frank says he is as much
entitled to a vindcaton as Droatch is.
| c. Ranter Scott according to one of his or
gans, didn't know that the Martin houses in
the burnt district were being used as houses
! of prostitution OF course he didn't He
! ought to have consulted his fellow High
! binder, Broatch, about it. Broatch was the
| father of the burnt district and could have
| given the gu!leless judge all the necessary
| information. But that bluff of Scott's is on
a par with a lot more of his rot. 1t was be-
| fore he went into the management of the
! houses of the burnt district that he used to
rail from the bench every few days about the
| Nervousness of the city officials licensing the
social evil and wanting the mayor impeached
for violating the law. C. Ranter is as in
consistent as a prevaricator as he is as a
judge.
Harry Bronze in his speech before the
Fourth Ward Republican club said that he
had examined the record of A. G. Edwards
and could find nothing in it that would not
commend Edwards to the voters of the city as
a good man for city treasurer. Harry, you
had better consult an oculist. Your physical
vision is in bad shape and there are also in
dications that your mental vision is somewhat
obscured.
Judge" Slabaugh has told long story in
the papers about the chase he had in Chicago
to capture an important witness in the Ish
murder case. What do you want to suppress
important testimony for, "judge?" Why
don't you tell why the witness left Omaha
and who was paid for getting her to go to
Chicago? Conidentially, in f. p. & p, as it
were, the story is pretty well known and it
will look better for you If you will tell it

Councilman Gordon is not boasting of his
