has no time to handy words with Mr..
Blackburn and would let it go at that
except for the paragraph in which he APP
peals to us to admit all the distortions OF
fact and half concealed truths incorporated
into his letter. The Bee admits nothing
of the kind. 1t is notorious the Fontanelle
club was an organized outgrowth of Ben
sons boiling campaign in 1908, and that
Tom Blackburn himself, more than any
one else foisted on the club the endorse
ment of Benson as "a vindication Of his
bolt against Moores 1t is plain enough
now to those willing TO see that the bolt
ing record of Benson is what made him
weaker than any other candidate mem
toned in connection with the mayoralty.

oessful machine man had the full Fonta-
nellie support
1t is, therefore, unfair, as well un-
wise, at this time to be throwing bricks at
the first and only strong political club ever
organized in Douglas county which does
its fighting against republicans at the pr-
mares and takes its medicine cheerfully
at the general election.
The Fontanelle club is not now and
never has been "a proscriptive fractional
club" 1t is not now and never has been
bent on keeping fractional sores open,
'and has never been either arbitrary" or
''despotic' and has never been machine
in the political sense, saving as the word
machine may be used to cover the term
organized voters" You doubtless remem-
Der a speech made by your father in which
he explained to the Eighth ward repub-
leans that machine was essential to the
upbuilding Of party.
The Fontanelle club is a representative
republican organization. Its board of gov
errors is made up of one man from each
voting precinct i'm the county, one from
each ward in this city and an elective ex-
ecutive committee of nine. In other words,
so far as the city of Omaha is concerned,
seventy-five representative republicans con-
Slllule the uttGllub anu CONTINUING lOIte
OF the Fontanelle club. 1t is provided by
the bylaws that when a member Of the
board OF governors becomes a candidate
for an elective Office he by that act loses
his place in the board OF governors and
cannot vote at any meetings Of that body.
It is further provided that no applicant for
the endorsement of the club shall be rec
commended to the voters unless he shall
have received a two-thirds vote of the
board Of governors present, voting by Sc
cret ballot.
The pledge Of membership Is simple and
reads as follows; Il am a republican
voter I'm - precinct, - ward,
and wish to join the Fontanelle club"
Any republican is eligible and no man was
ever expelled from the club or refused
membership therein.
l submit, therefore that there is moth
ing in the plan of organization. or the
