ton. Each had his own particular
remedy for the threatened malady Of
county option or prohibition.
Mayor Dahlman vas militantly
eager to give battle in the open to the
cold water hosts, with home rule and
personal liberty for the party motto.
Governor Shallenberger was for main
tanning the status quo and UNFOLDING
the daylight enactment of q demo-
cratic Legislature. Ex.Mayor Brown,
of Lincoln, Was for strict regulation as
the surest means of warding off county

lery. It was signal to get away from
the wrath to come. Only Mayor Jim
seemed undaunted. The other two
wobbled and seemed fearful that any.
thing but Concession meant disaster
and drought.
They preferred diplomacy to open
battle, aud an earnest desire to get
away from the main point at issue.
An unqualified fight for thesupremacy
of the saloon forebOded evil for them,
but promised no terror for the Omaha
mayor.
The lesson If it is that the daylight
saloon bill has come to stay until .
more stringent restriction shall sue
ceed it. The republican party cannot
be expected reasonably to oppose it
unless it be for something that prom.
ises less of freedom to the saloon, some
such promise Is is coltained in q
county option platform. Mayor Dahl
man might be expected to wipe out
the daylight bill if given a legislature
in sympathy, but no such legislature
could be elected while the current
sentiment prevails, and the chance
does not seem favorable for the cleo
ton Of any man who holds the liberal
views of the Omaha mayor. Not even
for the nomination by his party. There
is going to be . lot of hedging upon
the party Of candidates for governor
and legislators. and Mayor Jim is un.
willing, if indeed able, to hedge. He
is too outspoken and believes too
much. He is where he could not avail
himself of the aid of clever subterfnge
and could not make a single battery.

Who voted with Aldrich on every roll
call. Besides these, there were fifteen
Republicans who voted with Aldrich
most of the time, falling to do 20 only
when absent or paired, and never, 1t
any time, voting against him.
It Is we'll that the names Of these
men be prominently displayed, that the
public may know them and remember
in the days to come that they are the
people who are responsible for the
tariff bill. The first group, compris-
ing the twenty.three who were never
absent and never wavered, are as
follows:
Brandegee of Connecticut.
Briggs of New Jersey.
Bnrnham of New Hampshire.
Burrows OF Michigan.
Carter of Montana. y
Dixon of Montana.
Flint of California.
Gallinger OF New Hsmpshire.
Gugeenheim Of Colorado.
Hale Of Maine.
Hepburn Of Idaho.
>Kean of New Jersey.
Lodge OF Massachusetts.
Oliver of Pennsylvania.
Page OF Vermont,
Penrose Of Califoruis.
Perkins Of California.
Piles Of Washington.
Root OF New York.
Scott OF West Virgins.
Smoot of Utah.
Stephenson OF Wisconsin.
Wetmore of Rhode leland.
The other group consists of senators
who are just as guilty as the twenty
three. They are assembled in q separ-
ate list simply because circumstances
were such that they happened at diff:
ferent times, to be absent or paired
when the roll was called. Had they
been present they would have voted
with Aldrich, and it is noteworthy
that when present and voting they
never cast their ballots in opposition
to the party boss. These fifteen are
the following:
Bradley OF Kentucky.
Bulkeley Of Connecticut. =
Clark OF Wyoming.
Crane OF Massachusetts,.
CullOm OF Illinois.
Depew OF New York.
Dick Of Ohio.
Dillingham; OF Vermont.
Elkins Of West virginis.
Frye of Maine.
Nixon OF Nevada.
Smith OF Michigan.
Sutherland OF Utah.
Warner OF Missouri.
Warren OF Wyoming.
These two groups have given Aid.
drich absolute control Of thirty.eight
votes in the senate, which, with his
own, have made thirty.nine votes
which he could count upon positively
for every emergency. OF course, this
is not majority. for there are ninety
two members Of the senate, making
forty-seven votes necessary for con.

bills. On each roll call, however,

STUDFBAkFRS WILL
HAVE LARGE GARAGE
Auto Company Will Erect Ex=
pensive Stable in the
Downtown District
Modern Appliances and Ma

New Motor Car Home
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

Those who own automobiles and use
them in the downtown district will
be pleased that that section of the city
is to have one of the finest garages in
the United States.
Chester \. Weaver, manager of Stude-
baker Brothers of California, yesterday
let contract for the erection of a
100000 garage 1t is to be situated
back of the Studebaker building in
Fremont street and will run through
TO First street The building viii oc-
cupy a ground space of 275 by S71s
feet. The necessity of the garage has
been apparent to Weaver for some
time, as the many owners of Stude-
baker cars have complained of the lack
of garage facilities in the downtown
district 1t is TO meet this demand
that the building will be erected.
While the building is for the ac-
commodation of Studebaker owners it
will. however, be run as public
garage separate from the automobile
department of the company. 1t is TO
be equipped with all the modern ap-
pliances and machinery for the proper
upkeep of motor cars
The company yesterday received a
beautiful polished chassis of the 1910
40 horsepower four cylinder Stude-
baker 1t is a splendid piece of me-
chanical work showing distinctly all
the refinements of the new models.
The chassis will be on exhibition but
a short while, for it is the one that
factory has built for the New York
show which is TO be held in Januery.
