LARIATS HIMSELF INTO
MAYORALTY OF OMAHA

OMAHA, May 6.-Mayor James C.
Dahlman and his lariat won the city
election yesterday by about 1000
votes, gain of 1000 over his vote of
three years ago. John P. Breen was
the Republican candidate for mayor.
During the afternoon Dahlman, on
horseback, rode into the third ward
and from one election booth to an
other. His horse was kept on the
gallop and over his head the mayor
swung a lariat. Now and then he
would stop close to a crowd, swing
the rope around his head and when
he let go it would sail straight as an
arrow over the head of some indi-
vidual
| This was done time and again, and
although it disguised the workers on
the other side, it buoyed up the
Dahlmanites and made more votes
for their chief.
The Democrats have elected four,
and possibly six of the twelve coun-
cilmen. Although the count is pro-
crossing clowly it looks as if they
have elected the city clerk, control
Ter and building inspector, while the
Republicans have saved from the
wreck the city attorney and engi-
