actions. Mcmillan, Nolan and Roberts are
the others to be brought upon the carpet.
Little can be said Of Roberts, as his iniu-
ence in democratic circles has been on the
wane for a number Of years. OF the three
prominent democrats a lively reply lie ex-
pected. They propose giving their reasons
for not supporting John Henry Loechner
for mayor last April. The report Of the
meeting will doubtless be read by a great
many people in South Omaha. In addition
to this a great many democrats have sig I
nihed their intention OF attending the ses-l
sion.
The trouble at this time has caused a
decided split in the democratic ranks and
the result Of the trial may not be entirely
satisfactory to the oechner or the lSolau
ends Of the string.
