Talk about your steam rollers!
Mayor Jim is finally securing the en-
dorsement Of most Of the ward democratic
clubs in Omaha and his supporters are hop
ing that all the ward clubs will endorse the
mayors subernatorlal campaign before the
primaries.
The Sixth Ward Democratic club has
been the ptickler, but II came across
Monday night and passed resolutions ad-
vocating the mayors. candidacy. The club
organized some time ago, but persist
emily refused to endorse. w. s.. Sheldon,
member of the mayors democratic council,
is president Of the club and he has been in
the habit of giving the excuse that they
forgot about the endorsing business
Finally, a number OF the Dahlman lead
ers' went to the meeting Monday night
and demanded on pain of accommodation
from the ranks of the democrats that the
big chief be given the glad hand. There
was no way out Of it. and the mayor was
endorsed.
All democratic candidates before the
primaries have been invited to address the
1000 Dahlman Democracy club members
Friday evening and the shining lights in
that organization are wondering If the Jack
candidates will respond. Jack and Jim
candidates alike nave been invited to at
tend. The Jack candidates are c. p. Mont
gomery and r. s. Horton for the state
senate; w. S. Shoemaker, Walter p.
Thomas and ]. p, Connolly for the house
p. C. Heafey for coroner; Fred II. Co.'S
grove for the Water board and DR.. H. NJ.

Not all the other candidates are Jims,
but the majority are, while some are both
Jim and Jack. While the Jims by resolu-
ton decided not to endorse any candidate
other than Mr.. Dahlman, still the individ-
ual members are sta~nding-nobly by the Jim
candidates and slurring the Jacks. Jims,
Of course, say their man will win, while
Jacks pick out their favorites, but demo-
Gratis who belong to neither club are Of the
opinion that the neutral candidates stand
