attended the initial meeting.
one Of the conspicuous figures among
the visitors was Mayor Dahlman Of
Omaha, who was here as a special guest
Of Hastings Gemuetlichkeit Maennerchor,

opportunity to boost his candidacy for
governor. In his address to the bund the
Omaha mayor said he favored Sunday
amusements when not in conflict with re-
ligious worship, as they form about the
only. sources Of recreation for the working
people. Mayor Miles had turned the city
over to the visitors and Mayor Dahlman
proposed that they take him at his word

that of all the people with whom he had
business relations he had found none more
reliable and honest and in whom he could
place more dependence than the Germans.
In their hands, he said, the city Of Hast
ings would be safe.
The address of welcome on behalf Of the
Sons of Herman was made by Karl Kauf,
who spoke in German. He engendered a
spirit OF enthusiasm among all the visitors
and made them feel that Hastings is glad
to be their host. A Lembach presided over
