Republican Club Formed.
The Swedish republican club, which was
organized this week. will be an active force
IN politics in South Omaha until election
day. II has been started as counter
to the claims OF Comptroller Lobeck that
all the swedes in the state are going TO
marshal themselves behind his banner
Judging by the letters that are floating
around, this is not the only nationality in
connection with which Lobeck Is putting
forward the claim OF fsvorite SON" said
street Commissioner Johnson. II these
claims be true Mr.. Lobeck is OF undoubted
cosmopolitan pedigree and he expects TO
have q march OF all the nations to the
polling booths on November g. But the
land Of our fathers plea is not going to
carry away the Swedish voters OF South
Omaha"
The new organization is creating a SEN
tment that will have an effect on election
day. Next week will probably see the Or
Ranlzation OF q Young Mems republican
club and from now until the final rally Is
held. there will be no stone left unturned
that will secure the success Of the ticket.
Halloween Excuses.
The police force is determined to have
this an orderly Halloween, and the warn
ings which have already been sent out have
clrbed the eNuberance Of the juvenile cele-
orators somewhat But they have yet to
learn that they will not be permitted to
make II week Of celebration, and that
anything in the shape OF wantonness will
have them hailed TO the station and sub
aequently before Judge Callahan. There
have been professions, plenty Of noise ana
door rappings 80 far, ana a Httle rlotous
conduct, but the behavior of the boys has
generally been such not TO call for the
Interference OF the police. Captains FL
fielder and DworalS declare they will not
stand for the greasing OF the street car
rails on Missouri avenue. This Is a favor
lite Halloween prank. II is due, no doubt
to thoughtlessness, but the grade in that
part Of the city is such that a serious &C
eident may follow and boys caught on
mischief bent there will be in danger of a
ride In the patrol wagon.
