CLOSED DOORS.
SUPREME COUNCIL A. p. A. USE
THEM AGAIN.
The Case of Mckinley Seems to Cut
Considerable of n Figure-SeveraI
RumOrs in Circulation.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The SUI
preme council of the A P. A. contin
ued today to deal with routine mat
tiers OF no interest to others than
members Of the order. MANY resolu-
tons were introduced at today's sas-
sion and were referred to various com
mittees for consideration. The council
has not yet decided whether to give
to the press an abstract of President
Traynor's annual message, which is
reported to be a very spicy document.
Although the interest of the dele
gates is centered upon the policy to be
pursued by the A. P. A. in the coming
presidential campaign, it is exceeding
ly difficult to secure any correct ac-
count OF the factions and under cur
rents at work in the council, on ac-
count of the strict secrecy which is
being observed. There is a large fac
ton urging the council to
REFRAIN FROM PARTICIPATION
in the presidential campaign, unless
to the A. P. A. be nominated, and to
confine the society's activity to mu-
nicipal and state politics.
Last night the advisory board held
a meeting to consider the action of its
executive committee in blacklisting
Mckinley. A special oath of secrecy
is said to have been imposed upon
the board in relation to the Mckinley
matter. Two reports are in circulation
as to the course likely to be pursued
One report has it that the advisory
board will report it's action upon Nc
Kinley's candidacy to the council to-
morrow. The other story is that the
board will be very glad to have the
declaration which was made hereto
fore stand without any consideration
by the council and will not bring the
matter forward, but will
ACT ON THE DEFENSIVE
if it be called to account for it's policy.
The Ohio delegates declare they will
leave no stone unturned to secure a
reconsideration of the ban placed upon
Mr.. Mckinley, and insist that they
will call on the advisory board for an
explanation. A majority of the coun-
cilors seem to regret that the body
should have become entangled in such
an issue.
Many Of them believe that the A. P.
A. should announce the principles
upon which presidential candidate
must stand to receive the support of
members of the order, and should
avoid personalities.

JOHN l.. SCHULTZ.
WILLIAM Il. NANSANT.

At yesterdays election in South Omaha
the democrats elected the mayor. treasurer,
police judge and one Of the four councilmen-
a~t-large. Mr.. Caldwell. The clerkship and
three of the councilmanic positions went to
the republicans.
Much interest was taken by the women in
the election Of members of the Board of Ed
u~cation. In the First ward about 800 women
voted, while the Second ward followed with
about half that number. The Third ward
women to the number of 116 voted and in
the Fourth ward 81. The total vote of the
city was 1864.
From early morning until the polls closed
at Z o'clock the candidates and their friends
worked like beavers.
The total vote by wards was: First ward,
1899; Second. 1.046; Third, SIC; Fourth, 2T3.
In the First ward the vote was 300 more
than at the last election, nearly, If not all,
Of this number being cast by women.
During the early part Of the evening
crowds marched from one booth to another
down town cheering for different candidates.
1t was rather expected, Judging from the
interest taken in the head of the ticket, that
the different precincts would count the votes
for mayor first. This was not the case eN-
cept in the Fourth ward, the others count
ing the ticket straight down.
As soon as the Fourth ward vote for
mayor was announced on the streets there
was talk of crooked work on the part of the
democrats and the rumor was that Smiley
would contest the vote on the grounds CT
Irregularities, it being claimed that persons
not authorized to dc so had marked votes
for foreigners who could neither read nor
write.
Taken altogether the campaign was a re-
markably clean one, very little mud-slinging
having been INDUCED in except in the fight
for city treasurer between Wilcox and
Broadwell.
By 10 o'clock partial reports from pro.
cincte began to come in, and in most caseo
showed a big vote for Ensor. Smiley vir-
tually gave up the fight a little after this
and stated that Ensor was getting three
votes to his cue. The First ward showed a
strong vote for both Smiley and Parkhurst.
but this was expected by the supporters of
DR.. Ensor.

was the principal issue with a side issue Of
reform government. The novelty was pre-
sented of a republican ex-mayor, Henry G..
Kumpf, a prominent banker, running for that
office on an independent-democratic ticket.
with him on the ticket were politicians from
both old parties. On the republican ticket
James M. Jones led a strong fight for tho
A. p. AS. as the regular republican nominee.
Jones is police Judge, and a young lawyer
very pronouncedly in favor of the A. p. A.
principles. The remainder of his ticket was
a mongrel, as was that of his leading oppo-
nent. John S. Crosby. who headed the peo-
pies ticket, cut but little figure. In the cam
paign the Kumpf managers have charged the
present republican administration with leav-
ing a deficit In the city treasury of almost
500, 600, and in addition to a desire to best
the A. p. A., many from both parties voted
the Kumpf ticket in their fight for reform
government. On the other hand, many demo-
Gratis left their own ticket, asserting 1t was
under the rule of gang politicians. and
voted with the republicans. Another inter-
esting item was the refusal Of two or three
A. p. A. lodges to support their organiza-
TONS nominee, because of their being
previously suspended fro mthe order.
The election was for mayor, city treasurer.

the upper house, four members Of the upper

has been elected. Returns have been receive

is not running ahead of his ticket. and It is
estimated that the complete returns will
show the lection of the entire republican

The convention was called to order at II
o'clock by Chairman Dcoly in a few well
chosen remarks outlining the issues of the

made an eloquent speech IN the interest OF

strong appeal for protection and blmetallism
for the best interest of the party and coun-
try.
Congratulatory kilograms were received
from Senator Brown and representative
Allen.
The platform Is confined almost entirely to
protection and bimetallism and the sense of
the convention is expressed in the following
language:
