PAPER COLLARS STILL IN STYLE

TIE largest shipments, however. go

the continent Their Sunday trousers,
for instance, are generally plaids seven

paper collar on a fancy flannel shirt is

in the coming contest at the primaries,
az which will hc selected delegates to the
democratic city convention, the JaCksuniau
club does not champion the cause OF any
particular candidate. nor assume to dictate
who shah or hail not Toe nominated. We
believe ln the right Of the voters TO say who
have faith in the ability Of the delegates so
chosen TO make proper nominations. Boss
ism is not q part OF our creed.
We have no demands 10 make except that
The nominees be honest. upright. clean
and capable men, who are Identified with
the growth and development Of the city Of
omaha ard who are Interested in its ma
terial advauc.rn ent.
We insist that only those be nominated
who are free from corporation control and
who will see that the laws are enforced
alike for all without favoritism or par
TALLY; that the burdens Of taxation be
MADE as light a. possible and made to rest
on all in proportion to their financial ability
and property interests.
We favor immediate action being taken
TO acquire title to the waterwurks, either by
purchase or condemnation proceedings, as
may best serve the interests Of the city of
Omaha.
We demand that our democratic candi-
dates he tried and true democrats, those
whose loyalty mas been demonstrated and
who have been true to our candidates and
our principles i'm past campaigns. Those
who have refused support to our candidates
in former campaigns have but small claims
on the party for its favors at this time.
We believe a political party is Judged
largely 10y the character of its candidates
and those placed in charge Of its cam
paiEns, and while insisting on honest men
as candidates for Office we also insist that
men of the same character be placed in
charge Of the campaign,
While demanding that only those who are
true TO the principles advocated by W. J.
Bryan be honorcd with nominations for
office we also insist that the party manage
meut be not turned over to those who have
in recent years sought to wreck the party
and defeat the election Of its candidates.
We believe in the union Of all forces hav-
Ing a common object in view, and there
fore favor fusion with the populists and
silver republicans, and an equitable division
of the offices between them, regard being
had to the relative strength Of each party.
