Reviews the Boomers.
Mr.. Rosewater's speech was a review OF
the boomers typifed by Erastus A. Ben
son, who inflated values and real estate In
the city and far out until the bubble coll
lspsed and the city. was damaged to an
extent that It has not yet recovered. Mr..
Rosewater said the present campaign is
the most grotesque that has ever occurred
In Omaha and a perfect masquerade
candidate who had appeared before re-
publican convention, within three days Sc
curing q nomination from the populists and
following It up with petition in order to
show what people stood for him.
The boomers, he said, were the greatest
curse Omaha had ever had and had done
the city more damage than cyclones or
earthquakes possibly could do, He showed
how Benson and his compatriots had sold
prairie lots in the SOS to lAboring men,
small merchants and others, who had
thereby lost their savings. Some Of them
committed suicide, others were driven to
insane asylums, families we're separated
and men bankrupted, and all over the east
there was a howl OF curses from men who
had invested In Omaha vacant lots.
Mr.. Rosewater said he considered this
speculation worse than gambling. He read
advertisements telling Of $500" and 5000
lots In additions unheard of and unknown
at the present day, and said that Omaha
suburban lots were laid out and sold as far
away as Fremont. The folly OF extending
the city over territory disproportionate
to its population was shown by the de-
probation of the values Of property down
town, the vast sums spent on grading and
wooden paving and the distrust engendered
In Omaha investments. Later the same
boomers had the census padded in 1890 50
that in 1900 1t looked as though the city
had lost 10000 people and created the Inn
preston throughout the country that the
town is receding. Referring to Mr.. Benson
Mr.. Rosewater said:
Il enter my protest now as a citizen OF
Omaha. have worked here for forty
years and every dollar have earned have
Invested here, putting It into brick and
mortar and machinery and wages. 1 have
borrowed every dollar l could and planted
that here, too. l do not feel safe in the
hands Of the boomers and l will not have
II II / can help It," .
He warned his hearers that a vote for
Benson meant half vote for Howell, and
predicted the success Of the Moores ticket
Here are some things the candidates

Candidate e. A. Benson was entertained
last night by the Six Days Pleasure club
in the heart of the burnt district over the
beer emporium Of Mr.. Benson's ardent ad-
mirer. Leon Levy. 1923 Capitol avenue.
Leon contributed a pitcher OF tonsil wash

uted q free flow OF oratory in return The
attendance included Vic Walker, DIR. G. R.

plause promoter.
Mr.. Jefferis spoke first. threshinR over
the old stories Of Bensonian munlhoence
in laying out Briggs Station and the village
OF Benson; insinuating very broadly that
the voters OF the Third ward have been
bought heretofore. but inviting them not
to be this time pounding hard on the
slavery peddle, and concluding with this
declaration: People say, oh, Frank
Moores gives us a liberal administration in
the Third ward but would It not be better
to give the Third ward a liberal adminis-
tration and at the same time a business
administration
To such as remained to hear him, J. ].
Boucher volunteered the remark that he
endorsed all Mr.. Jefferis had said. ..+
Mr.. Benson arrived at tardy hour and
then excused himself by saying he had to
talk again out on Fortieth street. He de-
livered practically the same address he
gave in the Eighth ward Wednesday.
BensOnItes in sixth ward.
A fair audience gathered at Twenty
fourth. and Ames avenue laet night to
listen to the glittering generalities of the
Bensonites. j. H. Mcintosh opened the
ball and spoks at length OF the various
things done and not done by the present
city administration. He told OF the in
crease in taxation assessed to the railroads
this year, giving the credit Cor the same
to the Real Estate exchange as done by
himself. He then took up the career OF
Ed Howell and declared him 10 have been
a continual oficeholder and candidate. The
corporations, he intimated, had already
dragged him into their fold and his cleo
tion would only give the city corporation
rule.
Candidate Benson spoke q few hurried
words and left for several other barn
storming appearances on his list for the
evening. In the course Of his talk he said
he had taken the candidacy much against
his will and yet hoped to be the victor al
the polls.
After the retirement Of Mr.. Benson

CONT Owed Moores.

II want to say here, gentlemen, In the
light of later events Just what has been
the result Of the investigation that was
going on as to the accounts between Mayor
Moores and the county. At that time there
were pending certain claims Of his In the
courts Of Douglas county. Certain claims
were made that Moores owed the county
$4,000, while Moores claimed that Douglas
county owed him more than $4,000. Ex-
perts were set to work on the books. They
worked for weeks and months and found
out Just how the accounts stood. The
case came up for trial. 1t was tried very
hercely. The county was represented by
Judge Shields. who made a hard hght.
represented the mayor In the lawsuit.
''It was tried for weeks, and, gentlemen.
as the result Of that case Mayor Moores
secured judgment at the hands Of the
court after a thorough investigation OF all
these accounts of over $4,000. And the
county of Douglas, recognizing the correct
ness Of that decision. did not have the
temerity to appeal that case to the supreme
court Of this state. So instead Of being
proven an embeEEier from the county. It
was proven and decided that the county
owed Mayor Moofes this large sum OF
money.
This is not all. other charges have
been made and spread around, which, un-
fortunately, have not been Investigated and
proven false as these two. But If those
original charges could be made with such
a himsy foundation, there naturally comes
the query, cannot charges Of equal gravity
be made on Just as himsy q foundation in
other cases? And how much better are
you justified in believing them than you
are the charges that were shown to be
untrue3 have known Mayor Moores for
a great many yesrs. II thought him dis

The prizes are so desirable and val

to expend little energy and time to
secure them. 1t is easy to get sub
scribers for the Reformer, because the
Reformer is the paper everybody wants
to read and those who do not already

it, Those who do will surely want to

votes and secure Quaker Range. The

At the Congregational church the
services opened with young peoples
union prayer meeting at Z 30. The
young peoples society of the Protes-
tant churches in the village were invit-
ed, and there was good attendance
and helpful meeting. The church
was beautifully decorated with Easter
lilies, daffodils and other flowers, all
of which were distributed among the
sick and aged after the services. The
regular quartet was assisted by Mrs
Lima T. Hubbard, Mrs. Eric Landry,
Messrs. W. S. Stearns and f. c. Ad-
ans and accompanied on the cornet by
Carl Leitsinger, who also played
solo. The sermon was upon the text,
"Why is it judged incredible to you
that God should raise the dead?" and
the theme was that belief in immortal
ity is based on the same assumption
that underlies morality and ethics,-
that the deepest meaning of the world
is ethical. The Easter concert of the
Sunday school followed upon the morn
ing service. and members of the pri-
mary and junior departments were Civ
en- ported plants The last of the Sc
ries of union lenten services was held
in the evening, when the double quar-
tet rendered the music, and there was
a solo by F. c. Adams. Rev. G. b.
Lawson preached the sermon. The at
tendance was large at all the services.
