number Of the republican club mem
lfrrs met at the headquarters last Saturday
evening for a smoke and a casual discus
sion Of the political situation. The presi-
dent OF the club, Lew Etter, and several
good workers we're among the number. and
with them was one Of the local candidates.
The president expressed regrets that there
was such apparent indifference in both the
political parties. II like q good, hot scrap
like we used to have ten years ago, when
everybody gets excited and talks on the
corners and If two men should get i'm AN
argument the street and the sidewalk
would be jammed with listeners. Nobody
wants to hear that kind or arguments now.
There are some funny things I've noticed
that you never saw in any campaign be-
fore, and some OF them mean a lot. 1t is
strange that the democrats, who have al
ways boasted OF the poverty of their cam
psign funds. should now be flush with
money. II Is a fact. You fellows all know
that wo haven't had a cent from the CEN
trail committee 20 be used even for hiring
rigs or any OF tho legitimate activities Of
election time. We've taken up a collection
of about $40 and I've put in about $50 out
Of my own pockets The individual candl-
dates have sent us a Few candidates pic
lures or we'd be mighty near out in the
streets with not thing to show.
Several fellows have come to me and
asked II / wanted TO hire any men TO give
up their time and work at the polls.
told them 1 might want to do 1t all right
but hadn't cent to hire them. The can
dldates will have to dig up IL many car
riages are used on election day.
I predict that the big contributions with
in the next five years win all go to the
democrats. The time has come already
Few people realize how stern front the
republican party has taken against cor
porate aggression. Wen, we may not get
any corporation money. and I'm glad II we
don't; but well give 'em the biggest scare
before we are done that they ever had"
Regarding tho lead OF the democrats in
the South Omaha registrations the chair
man said he was not much surprised con-
sdering the local conditions THE bum
combe promises Of the democratic leaders
has been having its effct Such a speech
as the local candidate for representative
made before the Bryan rally at the An
oient Order Of United Workmen temple
don't believe the fusion organ would dare
to quote verbatim even in the South Omaha
column"
The chairman announced a meeting of
the club members at the headquarters this
evening. All the members are wanted.
There is no notion of quitting until the
polls are closed Tuesday,
