tale about the dangers that menace the Bo-
heman- Americans by reason of standing
armies and imperialism. The letter closes
with an appeal for each and all of them to
vote for Slas A. Holcomb for supreme judge
to avert this calamity. 1t is an open secret
down in Bohemiantown that this was con-
cocted at the Pokrok Office and that Vodicka,
who carried the petition around, had his
name inserted in the middle so as to avoid
the appearance that he was the cat'spaw.
The fact that he spent nearly week to get
nine signatures would indicate that the bug
bear of a standing army has not frightened
many Bohemians, especially when they know
that nobody has been or is likely to be
drafted into the army.

! SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !


The republicans are exceedingly confident
these days of the ultimate result OF the
election next week. Fusion stock has been
on the decline since the second day OF regis
tration and the chances OF a republican
victory are consequently enhanced. The
registration up to date shows that more re-
publicans have registered than democrats
and this is something which cannot be un-
derstood by the leaders of the fusion forces.
On the second day of registration the demo-
Gratis and populists worked hard and had
any number of carriages out hustlng for
voters. In spite OF these efforts more re-
publicans than democrats registered One
| reason for this change in heart OF South
Omaha voters is the attitude OF the Ger
mans. A great many Germans who have al
ways voted the democratic ticket in the
past have switched this year and have reg
| istered as republicans. Quite large pro-
portion of the Germans who have registered
| as republicans decline to speak of their
| change of heart, but 1t Is known that this
method is taken by the Germans to admin
lister rebuke to the local democratic ad-
ministration. Several times within the last
| few months the Germans of the city have
not only been turned down but have been
humiliated by the emissaries of the local
administration At the time, the Germans
| suiu nolulnS, DuJ now tney consider tnat
their time has come and they have declared
! their intertion of voting the republican
ticket this fall with a view to carrying the
| city for local republican candidates next
| spring.
Although the notice of the supreme court
decision in connection with the office of po-
lice judge was only received day or two
since, Judge Babcock is now actively en-
gagged in campaign and is making friends
wherever he goes The change of the office
OF police judge from municipal to county
or state office is rather sudden, but repub-
llcans were not to be found mapping and
Judge Babcock filed his petition shortly after
Patrick King, the fusion candidate, did.
Babcock has hosts of friends here who will
rally to his support and he will be elected,
big republican rally will be held in
Brynes hall, Thirty second and O streets
on Saturday night. Senator Van Dusen and
Lee Estelle will be the speakers. 1t is ex-
pected that candidates will also be present
at this meeting.

SEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS
Good Crowd Listens to Exposures OF
Some Fusion Fniiacics and
Pretenscs.

The Seventh ward republicans held an
interesting meeting with a good attendance
OF voters at 1908 Park avenue last evening.
George A. Day presided.
Henry Finke OF Milwaukee was first in
troduced and spoke for some time on ma
tional issues. merely mentioning state is
sues to say that republicans everywhere are
interested this year in the result in Ne
braska, as the campaign has been given
national significance. From his observa-
tions in the state he was led to expect a
sweeping republican victory. Mr.. Finke
devoted some time to a DISCUSSION of Carl
Schurz and his opposition to the admins
tration on the pretense OF opposition to i'm
perialsm and showed how Schurz had raised
the same cry against Grant. The outcry
against Imperialism was but a false pre-
tense to catch the German vote, which could
not be caught by the fallacies of free silver
and free trade. He put against the utter
ances of Schurz those OF General Franz
Sigel, who recently spoke in no uncertain
tones advising his friends to stand by the
government. He said that Sigels speech
would have more influence among Germans
than that of Schurz.
1t was announced that B. f. Thomas. can
didate for police Judge, was unable to be
present because of the prevalence of scar
Smith and Johnson, candidates for the Board
of Education, each spoke briefly.
Congressman Dave Mercer ,recounted the
| prosperity of the country under the pro-
tective tariff of the republicans and the lact
! of it under free trade regime, touched
! upon the money question and pointed out the
holowness of the anti-imperialism pretensey
of the modern copperheads closing with {
neighborly discussion of his observation:
abroad that intensified his love for his ma
tive land.
John l.. Kennedy responded to a call o
the chair and spoke briefly but forcibly il
pointing out the inconsistency of the dem
ocratic party in it's solicitude for the Fill
| ipinos in the face of it's attitude en- the slav
| cry question.

WANT WOMEN TO REGISTER
seventh Ward Republicans Construe
IL to He the Safer Plan for
Them to Adopt.

At meeting of the Seventh ward re-
publicans Thursday evening, attention was
directed to the fact that but four women
had registered in the ward to vote on the
Beard OF Education and 1t was stated that
they were all OF democratic tendencies. 1t
was suggested that republicans induce their
wives to register and the suggestion seemed
to meet with favor 1t was stated that City
Attorney Connell had given the opinion that
1t is not necessary for women to register
In order to vote, but that the state superin-
tendent OF public instruction had held other
wise and that the latter has authority to
construe the school laws. II was seemingly
agreed that it would be the part of wis
dom to have women wishing to vote on
the school board to take the precaution to
register.

WORK THAT WILL NEVER WIN
Futile Effort to Mislcnd by False

AS part of its campaign of unscrupulous

sent out through the fusion machine over
