NOISE FORGOTTEN ENTIRELY
Man Who Used to Fill Barrel for
Bryan Lost at Banquet.
so ARE OTHER OMAHA DEMOCRATS
IG Dunn f. n Like n Man Keep
ing Lent and Dan Butter Fails to
Connect with the Lunch


Some good stories OF the incidents attend
ing the dollar dinner at Lincoln Monday
evening come out every time the Omaha
delegates fall to talking about It. Colonel
Walter Noise was the center Of one hilari-
Gus outburst OF ~laughter. and Ignatius
Dunn of another. while City Clerk Butler
was the victim Of a third.
While the milling" was in process In
the lobby OF the Lincoln before the ban
quet began Colonel Noise was loudly de-
claiming about what Is to be done to Gov
ernor shallenberger for throwing down his
brewer friends when he signed the 5 o'clock
law.
who ls that big, noisy man7'' timidly in
quired one Of the ~Chautaudua salute dele
gates OF an Omaha mar who is consid-
cred a friend Of the governor. The gov
ernor's friend started into an explanation,
when a quick-witted Dahlman booster
butted In;
why, don't you know him7 That's
Colonel Noise, who used to supply one
third of organs campaign fund from
Douglas county every time he ran"
And just then Noise burst out with the
declaration:
No More Bryan for Me.
I've been for Bryan every time, but
never again for me. He's a dead one now
with so many democrats that he will have
to Join the prohibitionists."
MY, my" calculated the Chautauqua
person. such outbursts are quite un-
seemly."
He put on a look that gave Louis Patti
a chill, and Louie is not easily refriger-
ated.
Dunn, who was accorded the great honor
of nominating a third AefCof Mt Denver.
was given so little consideration by the
banquet managers that he could not even
get to the table. He had to content him
self by wrapping his dignity about him and
staying in the ruck OF the crowd out in the
hallway. His friends were quite offended
by the cavalier treatment given the erst-
while star of the big dream seance held in
Colorado. Tom Flynn explains the over
sight as to Dunn by the remark:
zig is keeping Lent, anyway, and he only
eats eggs. II there had been any of those
at the banquet in handy reach no telling
what would have happened when the air
was full Of handkerchiefs and throbbing
with ladylike screeches."
Big Dan is Kissed Off.
City Clerk Butler likewise was over
looked, although quite p~ulohritudinous, and
got nothing to eat at all.
IF some of us could have gotten to the feed
trough" says Dan, who is usually not slow
in reaching pie counters, I'VE might have
made even more noise than was the case
when Mayor Dahlman came to the front.
My belt must be tight before l can let out
the real Dahlman yell, and the same is
true Of others. A hungry man Is not in the
proper humor to do much but growl. With
beefsteak, coffee, Ice cream and charlotte
russo snugly packed below the diaphragm,
any man can do justice to the cheering
stunt; otherwise not. Then, too, the BAN
quet managers we're pretty foxy. They in
n~ocently but effectively put one over on
us by splitting our party up and elbowing
some of the'best Of us out into the space be-
yond the feed corral. Those fellows are
learning all right; and maybe we ought
to be proud Of their proficiency, for they
have been our pupils in times past. How
ever, Dahlman easily split the honors with
the governor, and that's the main thing"
