oMAHA's ELECTION.

Wisner Chronicle. omaha likes Dahlman
and his style, that Is evident.
Dakota city Record. Omaha is in for
three more years OF Mayor Dahlman But
then Omaha likes that kind Of Trims.
Shelton Clipper: Jim Dahlman has faults,
but his heart Is in the right place, and the
people overlook his faults on that account.
Waterloo Gazette: 1t is to be regretted
that Omaha should not have elected MIR.
Breen. Dahlman is a good fighter. anyway.
Tecumseh Chieftain: Omaha disgraces
itself by the reelection of Dahlman as
mayor and an expression for a wide open
town.
Pender Republic. Omaha voted to con.
tinue the Dahlman regime. This we con-
slider a disgrace to the good name Of Ne
braska.
Beatrice Express: Omaha people have
sentenced themselves to be led by Mayor
Dahlman as the city's chief executive for
another term.
Hastings Republican (dem.): In omaha
of course the expected happened. Dahl
man was the sole issue and won out. This
occasioned no surprise.
North Platte Tribune: Dahlman is not

its mayor, but this opinion is not held by
a majority of the voters Of that city.
Juniata Herald: The state Of Omaha
went Dahlmanic and democratic at the
election. Such a result will make Ne
braska republican and dry in a few years.
Howells Journal tdemD: Omaha has
again elected Jim Dahlman mayor. He
seems to be what its citizens want, and as
they have to put up with him we suppose
the rest of us can.
Rushville Standard: with Omaha elect
ing q wide open policy man for mayor,
and Lincoln going dry. would lead one to
think that there Is a great difference OF
opinion in. different sections of our own
state.
Hastings Tribune: Let us hope that
Dahlman will benefit by experience and
go in to give omaha the good. clean
administration it deserves. Dahlman
should remember that it is never too late
to do good.
Fairbury News: The election returns
from Omaha would Indicate that the old
saying, "A prophet is not without honor
save in his own country should be re-
vised to read: Some prophets are without
honor, save in their own country.
McCook Tribune: The volume OF moral
sentiment in the city of Omaha is perhaps
adequately measured by the result of the
last city election. One James Dahlman,
who has been a kissing to decency and
sobriety Cor years, won the mayoralty by
an overwhelming majority.
Lexington Pioneer: 1t appears that j. c.
Dahlman is a much stronger man, politi-
caIly than his ODDonents gave him credit
for. 1t begins to look as II he can be
mayor of Omaha as long as he likes, not
withstanding his drunken escapades, cow
boy advertisements hobnobbing with
swindlers, and other lapses from the path
of moral rectitude.
Kearney Hub: The World-H Herald has 1t
figured out that the reelection Of Mayor
Dahlman in Omaha is a rebuke to the
knockers who made nasty personal at
tacks' upon him. Possibly this is so, but
mis- majority is only a trifle larger than
when he was first elected, so that the
rebuking business was probably not very

endear Omaha to the balance OF the state
of Nebraska, in which the people look for
something better coming out of their first
! city,
