GOPHER KHAN WINS IN COURT
Judge Denies Mandamus to Compel City
Committee to Act Fairly.
CASE TURNS ON A TECHNICAL POINT
Court Holds that the RelatOrs Had Not
specifically that Injury
Would Wrong
s, fuI Act.

After listening to two hours argument
yesterday afternoon. Judge Fawcett denied
the mandamus asked by various candidates
not identified with the Gopher Khan to
compel the republican city committee to
give them fair representation on the pri-
mary election boards. The Judge said that
central committees invariably have acted
arbitrarily and that this one is no excep-
ton, but that he didn't feel he bad juris-
diction to compel It to meet again and
undo things already done.
City Attorney Connell called his atten-
ton to the fact that the supreme court
had done practically the same thing with
the city Board Of Equalization, but the
district Judge answered that in his opinion
the supreme court had erred. "And, any
how" the Judge said, "a court cannot we'll
mix into political lights too freely"
In defending the city committee Attorney
II. c.. Bronze first gave IL as an indisputa-
bic point Of law that & mandamus cannot
properly be invoked except to compel the
performance of an act, failure to perform
which will injuriously affect the interests
OF the relator.
bronze Is Frank Enough.
The REALTORS in this case had not, be said,
specifically alleged that they were to be
injured II the arrangement be not changed.
Then, with charming frankness, he added:
$50, this rule being a correct one, no mat
ter how wrongful may have been the ae-
tion Of the city committee, these REALTORS
have not legal ground for invoking man
damus. / say this merely that counsel OF
the other side may understand our posi-
tion."
His emphasis ON the word legal left
room for no possible doubt in anybody''
mind as TO his position and the frank
ness OF the admission that the Gopheri
proposed to deprive other candidates o.
their rights and then stand pat on a tech
nieality OF law brought a gasp from thu
audience and a blink from disintereste'
attorneys present.

MOORES In SEVENTH WARD
Mayor Addresses Large Meeting of Voters
at Polish Hall
WHAT THE OPPOSITION HOPES TO DO
Corporations and sham RefOrmers

May Control.
WHAT THE OPPOSITION HOPES TO D

The largest gathering Of republicans held
in the Seventh ward for three years was
assembled last night at Polish hall, Twen-
ty-sixth and Walnut streets, the occasion
being the meeting of the Seventh Ward
Republican club and was addressed by
Mayor Frank E. Moores and other candi-
dates on the republican ticket.
The meeting was called together by Joe
Koutsky. who was later chosen chairman
of the meeting. Those occupying seats on
the platform were, besides the chairman,
Mayor Frank E. Moores, Dan Coy, candi-
date for building inspector; Matthew j.
Greevy, candidate for city tax commits
sioner. and Frank A.. Johnson and John
Russell. candidates for councilman from
the Seventh ward.
Mayor Moores was the first speaker and
his appearance was greeted with applause.
He said in part:
Brother republicans of the Seventh ward,
you are to be congratulated for the fine
turnout vdn ar mere tonight ana It shows that
situation. 1t is proper that l should give
an account Of my stewardship and of my
position In this campaign. / am decidedly
in favor of municipal ownership of the
public franchises. Fortunately, the water
works question has been settled along these
lines and l believe that others will fol-
low. My enemies have charged me with
ruinous corruption during my sdministrs-
llUn as mayor. II mas Decn charged IndI L
have divided the proceeds Of this corrup-
ton with two others. You will remember
that at my instigation a special session of
the grand jury was called and l insisted
upon the most searching investigation into
all these charges and as you know their
falsity was proven.
Some Local Reforms.
When I went into ONCE a mayor of
Omaha 1 found that women Of the town
were paying a fee of S. each per month
to ply their vacations unmolested. l soon
put a stop to this practice, and found a
chief of police whom l could trust and the
practice was broken up entirely. / did not
believe that you wanted your children ed
ucated by any such blood money. Then II
was charged that l was gettingsthe money
raised by this means. and was letting the
saloons run wide open on Sundays with
out any effort at molestation. Under the
new police commission law, do you see any
change now? To crafty his spleen against
me and 10 defeat me by every means in his
power, this man Broatch sent for the sa.
ioonmen and told them that he would hold
them responsible for ny defeat and de-
manded II. They invoked the aid of the
legislature and a man from the sand hills
that knows nothing at all about the con
diuons OF a city OF the size of Omahs
or the management Of its police affairs
You will remember that once / had the
saloons OF Omaha closed for two Sundays
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-08

and there was more drunkenness on the
streets those days than ever before in the
history OF a dozen Sundays.
Corporations and the City.
1 have tried to conduct the affairs of the
city without fear or favor. am owned
enmity of the Burlington railway because
l refused to grant II concessions that l
preached by two parties In the interests
of the railways with the proposition that
they would send me to congress If would
veto a certain ordinance that they did
not want passed. The temptation was
great, but 1 refused to do so and was In
on the Mountain, of which you have ali
read. / recently called a special session
of the council in order to secure the pas
Omaha vote on the proposition of buying
the electric light plant. There were but
three member members Of the co Mr present mu az
have hypnotlzed the rest of them. The
corporations either own the town and run
corporations in hand and run their wi
municipal affairs.
/ am in favor of compelling the rail-
roads to pay their just proportion of the
taxes. Why, as a matter Of fact, the rail-
roads are paying less personal tax than
the wholesale house Of NJ. r. Smith. /
am heartily in favor of equal taxation. and
elected thai next fan | viii appoint a
every person and corporation shall pay
their just proportion of taxes.
Legislature and Omaha,
Let us be thankful that the legislature
Is now a thing OF the past. The Omaha
members of the legislature have not done
much, but they have tried hard to do one
thing, and that was to legislate me out
of office. 1t has been an anti-Moores, anti
Rosewater and an anti-Omana delegation
all through, and anti-everything except
for the railroads and corporations. Senator
Half has said that we DO not want lower
telephone rates. John N. Baldwin came
over from Iowa to show and tell us here
in Omaha what to do and what we wanted.
The legislature has passed an Infamous
and Vicious primary law, whereby you are
made 10 answer impertinent questions or
be disfranchised.
John WestbeTg has accomplished one
thing, and that is to require the city 20
pay for the bonds Of its officials. thus in
creasing the burden of taxation about
5000. He has also secured an increase
OF 1920 to his own salary, The officials
should pay for their own ponds, In my
opinion. His law providing for the APP
pointment of all employees OF the Board OF
Public Works was gotten up simply 70
take the appointive power away, from the
mayor. When Westberg pashed his bill
through ne expected TO be reelected. But
I do not think he thinks be will be elected
now.
