I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

Republicans are making gains in South
Omaha every day and 1t Is predicted that
on election day a large majority OF the
votes cast will be marked with a cross at
the head Of the republican column. At the
commencement of the campaign some of the
Bohemians were rather disgruntled, but
have Joined with the great majority in
working for the republican ticket from top
to bottom. Efforts are constantly being
made by the subsidized fusion press to
cause dissatisfaction among the Bohemian
voters and to stir up discord in the repub-
lican ranks 1t is a we'll known fact that
very little If any dissatisfaction prevails
among the Bohemians in South Omaha.
While some agisators have tried to stir up
discord and have endeavored to prevail
upon the voters to work for the fusion in
stead OF the republican candidates very lit.
tie has been accomplished in this line and
1t is now expected that the Bohemian vote
will be solidly republican with the exception
OF a few disgruntled members of the party
who are following in the wake OF Editor
~ sicky. The Germans are factor which
will enter largely into today's registration
and into the vote on election day. The old
line German democrats are dissatisfied with
the workings OF the fusionists and will not
vote the ticket as whole. few Germans
will vote for some of the democratic can
didates, but a majority will cast a split
ballot, with the preponderance of votes in
favor OF the republicans Republican meet
ings are growing in favor nightly and
good attendance is customary.

and demolished them to the entire satisfac-
