Two alternate propositions were included
in the ~pumphouse portion of the bidding.
Upon both of these Mr.. Bryan insists the
bid is too high on each one, as follows:
Wickham. Bryan.
Alternate NO. .$ll2,OO Sl0o,S40
Alternate No. 2............... 1O5,OUO 9l,6lS
In discussing the amount of the bid, as
compared with his estimate, Mr.. Bryan
says:
l can readily understand, of course, that
1t is worth something to the city to rave
a reputable and experienced contractor as
sumo the entire installation. There would
be but one party to look to, and he would
be responsible for everything. 1t would
be his duty to look after all the different
sub-contractors, keep everything moving
and see that all the different sections fitted
together tremendously, and that all parts
OF the work We're carried along stimuli
taneously and efficiently. Such services
are worth a great deal. but l question
seriously whether, in view of other methods
equally available, these advantages would
be worth as much of an advance as the
contractor seems to ask.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-09-10
Revision of Plans.

The engineer does not recommend that
the Wickham bid be rejected and new bids
asked for, after bonds are voted, solely
because 1t is too high. He suggests a num-
Der of matters in which the capacity of the
plant may be curtailed in such manner
as TO save expense, particularly in the mat
ter of the low service reservoir and set
thing system, which, he contends, are
planned on too elaborate a scale in the
Etnyre plans.
Upon the basis of such revisions in the
plans as are suggested, Mr.. Bryan says
the total cost of the plant, by sections.

This, however, would not be the total
cost of the proposed plant, as there are a
number of items which will have to be
considered. according to Mr.. Bryan's re-
port. such as real estate, interest on bonds
during constructive period, etc, which will
bring the total cost Of even the reduced
plant up to approximately 100000. The

LINDSAY'S REELECTION
Denver's kid ledge" Supported by the Peo-
pie on Prohibition Ticket

DENVER, Colo, November 1O-(Special CORE
spondence)-The reelection of Judge Lindsay, the
famous kid jedge" of this city, offers another il
lustration of the corruption Of the so-caled great
political parties.
Judge Lindsay came to this city some years ago
as Democrat and for number of years was
closely identified with the Democratic party. In
cidentally he discovered that the Democratic
board of county commissioners was robbing the
city and through his efforts a number of members
were convicted and fined Four years ago his
friends asked for him the Democratic nomination
for governor, but the ring would not have it so.
Three years ago, however, when his term as
judge expired, he was renominated for the posi-
ton by both political parties but during the last
three years he has been more than outspoken
against political corruption and against the saloon
AS result, this year, when he came up for re-
nomination, E. B. Field, the president of the Colo
RADIO Telephone company, which is one of the
most insolent and grasping corporations of the
state, announced that he could not be nominated,
and both parties accepted the order and refused
to put him upon their ticket
The Prohibition party thereupon nominated
Judge Lindsay and he accepted the nomination.
The independent people of the city focked to
him and he was triumphantly elected in spite of
both the old political parties, lacking only few
votes of receiving as many votes as both the other
candidates together During the entire campaign
Judge Lindsay stood squarely on the Prohibition
party platform.

THE LEAGUE IN SOUTH DAKOTA
"Omnipartizans' Lined Up as Usual Against
Prohibition and for the High
License Party

BRooK1NGs, SOUTH DAKOTA, November 10
Especial correspondence Ut is learned here that
just before election the Anti-Saoon League
flooded the state, taking particular pains to reach
Prohibtionists, with a letter beseeching temper
ance to vote the Republican ticket and to
work for the success of the Republican ticket,
particularly for the candidate for governor.
The letter was specially aimed at Prohibition
lists and contained these sentences:
"The who will vote for a candidate who
be elected and thereby defeat the worthy man, who
might elected by his ballot, shows himself partzan
rather than citizen To defeat by desertion just
in the thckest of the fight loyal temperance man. and
thus divide the temperance forces in hostile ranks
and elect neither, is little less than criminal"
1t is believed that large number of people
who had determined to vote the Prohibition
ticket but who had not analysed the question
carefully and had not in their minds distinguished
between the Anti-Saloon League and the Pro-
hibition party, allowed themselves to be swept off
their feet by this Republican annex and voted not
only for the Republican candidate for governor,
but as we'll the whole Republican ticket.

A Bit of Hips Work

DENVER, Colo, November 12-(Special corre-
spondence) -Denver has today another illustra-
ton of the fact that the Prohibltionlsts do more
than anyone else toward regulating and curtailing
the liquor traffic. At the instance of John Hipp,
Esq., the veteran Prohibition attorney of this city,
the courts have ruled that to obtain license for
a saloon majority consent of the frontage OF the
zVhole block must be obtained This will put
more saloons out of business in the city of Den
yer than the Anti Saloon League has closed-or
moVed-in its whole history here.

These figures indicate that in every county
where any aggressive work was done increase
was registered Otero county makes gain of
200 percent and that county has put up the best
fight of all, using every possible method of agi
tation. Had the same spirit prevailed all over the
state our vote would have run up to 10000. There
is no reason in the world why Colorado should
not double it's vote again in 1910.
