Latter Appeals to Supreme Court for
Coroner domination.
KENNEDY REFUSES MANDAMUs
DistrIct Judge sUstRins Action of Cans
vassipE hoard in Throwing
out the Three Unsigned
Ballots.

GGeorge A.. Brewer, declared by the pri-
fnary canvassing board to be the republican
nominee for coroner, won out Wednesday
in the mandamus suit brought by willis G,
Crosby TO compel the board to give the
nomination to Crosby. Judge Kennedy re-
fused to grant tie writ asked for and
sustained the canvassing board in its re-
fusal to count three ballots which were not
signed by any judge Of clerk of election.
The suit will not end mere, however, as
mir. Crosby has instructed his attorney
to file an appeal In the supreme court at
4 once. Mr.. Burbank, his attorney, said he
would present the case TO the supreme
court at It's sitting next Tuesday and he
hoped for an immediate decision. The case
is of the nature Of an emergency which
viii be given precedence by the supreme
Judges.
The controversy arose over the three an
signed ballots, which Mr.. Crosby contended
| were all cast for him. The canvassing
! board refused to count them and gave the
nomination to Brewer by a majority OF two.
Judge Kennedy, in his decision, upheld
the position that ballots could not be
counted where there we're no marks OF
Identification on them. The eleot.-n law
provides the ballots shall be signed
by two Judges. but in the Bling.
ham-Broadwell contest the supreme
court decided the names OF one Judge and
one clerk would validate the ballot. Judge
Kennedy declared this would not Justify
counting ballots without any signatures or
the back.

BIG CONVENTIONS FOR OMAHA
Several Important National Gather
ings Are 20 he Sought
by City.

Commercial organizations and business
men of Omaha will have abundant oppor-
tunity 10 attend conventions in other cities
the first weeks of October and delegations
will be sent to all of them. An effort will
be made to secure the largest of the three
for Omaha next year.
The meetings include the Transmississippi
Commercial congress-. which meets in San
Francisco October 6 to 10. 1t is this big
and important convention which has been
practically offered to Omaha and only a
guaranty for expenses Of 5000 is asked
ana the necessity of sending "a strong dele
cation. No less an influence than E. II.
Hartman of the Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific and Illinois Central railroads. has
expressed a desire to have the next meet
ing of this congress in Omaha.
The Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways
convention is to be held in Chicago. Oc-
tober s. 6 and Z. and the Real Estate ex-
change, Commercial club and local organi-
cations of the Missouri River Navigation
congress are entitled to one delegate TO
each 100 MEMBERS. Victor Rosewater and
F.. d. Wead will represent the Missouri
River Navigation congress in Chicago, and
Mr.. Wead will also attend a meeting of the
executive council of the congress called by
President Ellis to meet at the Auditorium
hotel at noon next Wednesday. Mr.. Wead
is the member of the council from Ne
braska.
The Commercial club of Grand Island has
invited the Commercial club and business
men Of Omaha to attend the Harvest and
Frontier festival to be held there October
6 to 8, and arrangements are being made
to send a good delegation.

NTahOoI Makes a HIT.

You may have a city council or you
may have a commission he said, but It
makes no difference which you nave IL they
are incompetent and dishonest men. These
men are sure to creep in whenever the
people do not take interest enough to elect
good men. Any time the business men
neglect to do their duty by voting at the
primaries and general elections, they nay
expect to get a badly conducted city. II
you get the commission plan here in
Omaha, you will have to watch and you
will have to vote, or you will find dis
honest and incompetent commissioners Just
as you find dishonest and incompetent
councilmen.'
The mayor of Baltimore then told of some
of the municipal policies of his city and of
a public subway for electric light and
telephones wires which pays the city a
profit of 10000 annually.
And we make public service corporations
pay for their franchises and put the money
into the city treasury he said at is
better than allowing councilmen to receive
the price of a franchise and keep the
money! After the franchise is granted.
we take 1t. Our gas company pays taxes
on a franchise valued at 10000 900, and we
have assessed the value of the street rail
way franchise at $40, 900, 600.

RAP FOR CITY GOVERNMENT
John MacVicar Says Omaha is Elk
ample of Incompetency.
ADDRESSES REAL ESTATE MEN
Mayor MahoOI Of Baltimore I'm presses
In Exchange with His sound
Advice on Municipal
Affairs.

TT is not dishonesty but incompetency
which has cost American cities heavily and
Omaha is one OF the worst examples which
/ have ever known"
This Indictment against Omaha was pro-
nounced by John MacVicar, secretary of
the American League Of Municipalities, a
member OF the Des Moines commission and
former mayor OF that city. in an address
which he delivered before the Omaha Real
Estate exchange at noon Wednesday. The
real estate dealers %applauded the statement.
Cards had just been distributed by the
members Of the exchange boosting the ad-
vantages OF Omaha and saying;
"Gas-Owned by a private corporation
price, s1.l5 net; the city receiving > cents
per 1000 cubic feet royalty"
Mr.. MacVicar picked up the card. That
looks good, he said. 1t looks good. The
city gets 8 cents per thousand cubic feet
royalty and the people pay 1t by paying
more for their gas than we pay in Des
Moines. and in addition TO this 5 cents they
pay 10 cents more-15 cents more per thou
sand cubic feet than we pay in Des
Molnes."
Then the secretary OF the league looked
at the price paid in Omaha for electric arc
lights.
5SNNhNS live uolLdIS per ubuls He Adlu'
With the city receiving . per cent royalty
on gross sales. Say the company gets S63
per annum net for your arc lights, no one
pays the other s12 except the consumers of
light and power in small quantities. The
price is made proportionately high to cover
what the light company pays back to the
city
Mr.. McVicar took up the question OF the
Real Estate exchange charter committee
and said:
Don't attempt to fix up that old charter
and have a piece Of Legislature patch work
begin at the bottom and build up, get d
new charter"
He then told what the new ~plan-the com.
mission plan-of government has done II
pes Moines and said one Of the best things
1t had accomplished was to create a new
civic spirit in the city.
Concentration of responsibility into &
small body of men will solve the problem.

THE NEW PENSION LAW.

TIE following COMMUNICATION to The
DemOc .at from Hon. J. W. Murphy
under date of Washington, D. c.,
April "a, summarizes the provisions
of the new pension law:
There are doubtless nun berS of
persons in your locality who are in
terested in the Sulloway Pension Law.
I give you a summary of its provis-
ions.
The law became operative April 10,
1908.
The rate is increased from eight to
twelve dollars per month. The widow
must have married the soldier or sail
or before June 27, 1890.
She need not prove her husbands
death to have resulted from injuries
contracted in the service.
Those widows now on the pension
rolls will receive the increase pay
without making application.
Those who have been rejected be-
cause of having an income IN excess
of $3.50, must make application; but
an income of $3.50 is no longer bar.
Truly yours, J. w. MURPHY.
