The fight is on among democratic factions
good and plenty. and among other thlhss
promises no good for the Hitchcock
senatorial candidacy
The story in The Bee about Hitchcock
and little bunch of disappointed Office
seekers framing deal to prevent Mayor
Dahlman from leading the Douglas county
delegation to the state convention, stirred
up the menagerie and Saturday morning
the political atmosphere was rent with
howls There also was an output OF
literature and a general capitalization OF
the ranks, together with many unkind
words for Hitchcock, who not only wants
a congressional nomination and senatorial
endorsement for himself. but wants the
republican state convention to nominate
father-in-law for senator.
Councilman Alma Jackson and few
other loyal Dahlmanites got together and
uITiedly produced slate of delegates
during the day The card contained sixty
seven names, although the delegation Is
10 be composed of no more than sixty
six men, and was void of everything else,
even a union label, As lO4 candidates h!ed
for delegate honors, naturally all were not
enumerated and those whose names did not
appear did not conceal theiI ill-wil to-
ward the Dahlman machine. Said one OF
these:
All but One Accounted For.
I'VE notice the names OF Hitchcock, Ed
p Smith and other anti-Da hlman people
are on the slate, and about a dozen men
have beer thrown in for the sake OF APP
pearanees, but every city hall appointee
who filed as a delegate. with the exception
OF Charles Epstein, Is accounted for,
Despite the fact that II Is wen known that
voter would throw away his ballot II he
votes for more than sixty-six names,
sixty-seven are printed. The cards deliv-
cred about the city han had the last name,
that OF Harry Buel OF Willard, crossed on
In pencil. but It is plain to see the game
is 10 knock on some other man, such os
Comptroller Lobeck or II. S. Daniel. whose
names lead each column, just as circum-
stances may require. II this Is not true
why was not the mayors name put at the
top? The production OF this slate has
stirred up the anu-Dahlman crowd and
their slate win be out tomorrow"
Dan Butler ChRErined.
Among the forces most deeply chagrinet
y lack Of representation on the slate Il
the city clerks ONCE. City Clerk Butler
vas not taking any hand in the tight, bu
lie and one OF his assistants, Jellen. had
lied as delegates and planned TO so 20 Lin
coin. Jellen is a Bohemian, and this ma
tlonality was overlooked by Jackson AM
the other compileTs. Therefore Butler
Jellen, and supposedly iarge proportion
OF the Bohemian democrats win line up OF
TIE opposite side OF the fence.
Councilman Jackson rapidly Is becoming
the mayors right hand man in the city
law-making body. He and Councilmei
Bedford and Bridges are the only onees o
the eleven democratic solons down on tn
slate Jackson feels sore AT the maJorit
members because they have given him tn
cold shoulder and kept him out OF thei
private conferences, presumably for tn
