Violating Rules, but Keep

The Burlington railroad has adopted the
merit system for RS employees and abolished
the practice of suspension as a corrective
measure. The new order became effective
Saturday under an order issued by Second
Vice President Willard.
A record will be kept of each man and
II an employee loses his place it will be be-

All party nominees Joined in securing the
mandamus compelling recognition of the
regular ity of the tickets nominated and
then the democrats stepped out and wanted
to stop, while the republicans insisted on
getting the full advantage OF the nopina-
ton by the privilege to vote the straight
ticket. Here they found that the demo-
Gratis had joined with the anti-saloonists to
keep the tickets separate and therefore
more susceptible of trades.
In their present dilemma the democrats
are passing the word along the line to stop
at nothing to save Dshlman. The first at
tempt was to pull off enough petition candi-
dates so there would be enough room on
the machines for the nominees. but they
were unable to get enough to withdraw.

We do not intend to, nor will we pay the amount of the
award [$6,263,0O0], unless compelled to do so by the decree
of the supreme court, where the matter is now pending,

We will not compromise unless upon a substantial re-
duction of the amount as found by the award. We will
try to compromise the matter Immediately if the bonds are
voted.
NUMBER g.
We are not in position to make any compromise until
the issue of bonds shall be authorized by vote of the peo-
pie. In previous attempts to compromise, we have been
met with the statement that we were in no shape to carry
out our proposition until bonds were voted.

We do not believe in granting a franchise to the water

for the city to handle for its own people.

If the bonds are voted, they will not be issued, nor will
they bear interest, until the water works are acquired by

the advantage" he said. Though two o.
their candidates are lawyers and the chief
engineer of the league claims to he a law
yer, they entirely disregarded the REQUIRE
ments Of the election law. They could
have held a convention and put up a ticket
as a party entitled TO a straight vote by
one mark on the ballot, but they neglected
10 do so and then wanted to deprive the
regular party nominees of the benefit Of
the party nominations.
The pretext that the republican city
committee which filled the vacancies on
the ticket Is not a legally constituted body
has no foundation in fact or In law. The
members OF the compittee we're elected az
the primary three years ago. and while
the law providing for the election OF their
successors was repealed, It expressly con-
tinues all existing committees in power.
The committee has continued uninterrupt-
eddy and no other committee has ever as
sumed to exercise the duties, though Board
Of Education or Water board officers have
been elected every year. The democratic
city committee rs constituted precisely the
same way.
Nomination. Legally Made.
THE meetings at which the vacancies
on the republican ticket were filled was
regularly called on written notice, signed
by the chairman and secretary. Thirty
one members OF the committee were pres
ent when the action was taken, and six
different candidates were voted on for the
four places to he filled. The committee
filled the vacancies without duress or inter-
ference from the outside. and the certifi-
Gates Of nomination were filed with the city
clerk before whom no protest whatever
was entered.
1T is surely accidental that such a null
tiplicity Of petition candidates filed for the
fire and police board as to overtax the
capacity OF the voting machines, There
might have been a dozen petition filings
for mayor in that event the same incapac-
ity OF the machine would result, but mani
testify that would not deprive the regular
nominee Of each party, from receiving the
benefit of straight party votes.
1t is not true that II was even univer-
sally conceded that police commissioner
were to be elected in a go-as-you-please
race by petition. On the contrary, the
legislature deliberately removed the non
partisan limitations previously existing
are made the officers strictly partisan.
Three years from now all candidates Tor
the board will be party nominees chosen
at the primary with other candidates, and
petition candidates will be in the same
position as now, unless the anti-ssloonists
learn by present experience to hold a con-
~vention to nominate a ticket of their own

city cannot avoid the payment of such judgment by refus.
ing to vote bonds. The judgment would be enforced by a
levy of taxes on the property of the citizens. If the bonds
are voted the judgment can be paid by the proceeds of the
bonds, and the interest and expense of running the water
works will be paid out of the revenues derived from the

TO THE PEOPLE OF OMAHA:
Many questions are being asked in regard to the prop
osition to vote 100000 of water bonds of the city.
We deem it proper that the public should know the rea-
sons why we urge the people of Omaha to vote for the water
bonds.
NUMBER l.
We believe municipal ownership to be the best solution
of the situation; that it will result in better water service,
more prompt extension of water mains, and in reduction Of
water rates without increasing taxes. There can be no mum
~ VI cipal ownership without voting bonds.
NUMBER 2
We believe the plant will sustain itsef-paying in
terest on bonds, cost Of operation, and create a sinking fund
- .t'-, to pay off the bonds, without additional taxes. In other
words, we believe we will be buying a revenue producing
property which will carry itself.
NUMBER 3
We cannot and will not use the 100000 of bonds
heretofore voted.
NUMBER 4
It is important that the bonds be voted now that the
zee water board may be in position to make immediate CON-
promise of the litigation, if this is possible.
NUMBER g.
If immediate compromise cannot be made, it is equally
important that the bonds be voted, that the water board be
- in position to pay the amount found due by the United States
supreme court.
