ran with a blanket around her and sought

testimony johnson claimed the woman had

The headquarters of the West Leaven-
worth Improvement club at Forty-eighth
and Leavenworth streets was crowded Fri
day night to hear the republican candidates
discuss the issues of the municipal cam
paign. President Morris Turkleson pre-
sided.
The first speaker at last nights meeting
was e. A. Benson, republican candidate for
mayor, who reviewed the work of improve
ment clubs in general Rewriting to cam
paign matter, he said: "When 1 am elected
mayor 1 shall endeavor to serve all the
people and shall have no interest but for
the public good think our taxes are too
high and shall do what can to lower them.
am in favor of the railroads being taxed
on their terminals and shall insist that they
pay their just proportion of the taxes. They
now pay but cents on s., 900 of their termi-
nal valuations, while the ordinary citizen
has to pay so per $1,000 on his property. 1
promise you that 1 shall undertake to equal
lie these taxes fairly. AS mayor will have
no power to do this, but we can go to the
legislature and have this matter adjusted
there"
w. Ernest Johnson, candidate for comp
troller, gave his reasons for running for

my competitor has been circulating his
cards and blotters about the city recently

BENSON STANDS BY HIS Guns
Refuses to Be stampeded from His Platform
Through Democratic Dodges,
CLEAN GOVERNMENT IS THE ISSUE NOW
Shall Citizens own the city or
shall the Corporations Have
Control, is the Question
Before voters.

+. A. Benson, A. w JeGeris, John Scott,
John Butler, William Kennedy, Joseph
scheidt, T. b. Dysart and Uncle Biz
Christie comprised the list of speakers at
republican headquarters last night. The
hall was packed to it's capacity and a num-
Der of men had to sit on dry goods boxes
or stand up against the walls.
Mr.. Benson made short pointed talk
to the voters urging them to stand with
the republican party against the corpora
tions. and assuring them that no corpora
ton money had been used or would be used
by the republicans in the campaign. He
warned them against allowing the opposi-
ton to throw dust in their eyes and mis-
lead them as to the real issue in the cam
paign. This, Mr.. Benson said, was not the
question of the lid, but the question Of
whether or not the people would own their
own government
DemOcracy's Bogus Issue.
Mr.. Jefferis scored the democrats for at
tempting to make the lid an issue. He said:
"The democrats declare that the destiny
Of Omaha rests on the privilege or the
denial of the privilege of the liquor dealers
to sell on Sunday. 1t is ridiculous for them
to attempt to make this an issue. ANY five
men in the city can keep the saloons closed
and the Civic Federation, headed by demo-
Gratis, with a mayor and fire and police
board of the most liberal inclinations, has
closed the saloons. If that was accom-
plished under conditions most favorable to
the saloons how could Jim Dahlman change
| matters? DO you believe that the Civic
Federation is going to lie down if Dahlman
Is elected? 1t doesn't make any difference
whether the mayor is republican or demo-
cratic, the Socumb law is on the statute
books, and the lid will be on as long as a
few citizens are together working for the
law. The democrats are undertaking to
inject this bogus issue into the campaign
in order to get away from the gas PROPOSE
ton and other economic considerations. The
republican party is waging the campaign
on an economic basis and stands for eco
nomic reform"

Ants Kali a Rather.

A hunter tells an interesting story
of the way In which a colony OF red
ants put to death rattlesnake which
dared to disturb their abode. He was
out hu2ting when he saw the RATHER
and started to put load Of shot into
the reptile when he noticed that Il was
headed straight for an ant hill OF I'M
usual size and waited to watch the
proceedings 1t had hardly got half
way across the mound when a big red
ant fastened to the attack and sank
his nippers into the snakes body. In
less than two minutes he was Joined
by the whole colony, which practically
covered the whole body of the RATHER,
each one sinking its scissors-like blades
into the lntruder's body. The snake
began to thrash and squirm, but the
ants held on like bulldogs. The rat
tiers fury grew so great that he sank
his fangs into his own body, then
Strengthened out after a few more
convulsive efforts to get away and was
dead in less than ten minutes after the
first ant had mounted his body.-Kan-
