MIR. Brando. Withdrawal.

OMAHA, March 2S.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: ] hereby announce that / am
no longer a candidate for commissioner
under the commission form of govern
ment.
Prompted entirely by an earnest desire
to have hand in the upbuildIng and
oetterment Of Omaha, I took an active
part several months ago in the movement
that resulted in the organization of the
Citizens union. Regardless Of what is
or may be said TO the contrary, the sole
aim of that organization has been, and
now Is. TO bring about a better order OF
things through the selection of seven
candidates believed 10 be worthy OF con-
fldence and trial in office.
l became a candidate with the hope of
ultimately having the endorsement of the
Citizens union. That hope has not been
realized. and l am neither surprised. dis
appointed nor disgruntled. shall al
ways be cheered By the secret thought
that the public has lost heavily in my
reimbursement and retirement.
In view Of my earlier work in. connec-
ton with the Citizens union and with
the knowledge have OF its high purpose,
do not feel that | can consistently
oppose its candidates by remaining in
the field. EUGENE z. BRANDo.

\ Laboring Mans Experience.

LabortnE Mans Experience.
OMAHA, March 2S-To the Editor Of
the Bee: would like to say a few
words about some experience have had
in the last twenty years in dealing with
firm who happens to loan money and
expects to get something for its use.
About twenty years age saw a notice
in a paper of firm which loaned money
on household goods and chattels. Being
an ordinary working man. with no trade,
( in the winter time. and having no work,
/ had TO try and get a small loan on
the few things l owned 4 representa-
tive Of the loan firm came and looked
at my goods and reported to his en-
ployer.
I once went with an acquaintance 10
one of these firms who loan money on
salaries. The man l was with had a
pretty good job and wanted 10 borrow
some money on his months salary. due
in week or so. The best he could do
was 10 get a loan bigger than he needed
or wanted. and then ne could get no
loan for less than three months.
Another time | accompanied a man
10 Il loan firm to try and find out for
him how much he owed We went into
the office and the woman attendant
with a smile told him how his account
stood. He had nothlng~to show OF his
business. only a small card with figures
on il, which he himself could not en-
plain. l told the woman | was an old
acquaintance Of his and had come at
his request 10 try and find out how
much he owed. She gave me no salts
faction. | learned they told him he
should not bring anybody around unless
they wanted TO do business.
A man who works a few days in a
week or week or two in a month has
TO go to some one to help him out. He
has no gilt-edged security to give. con-
sequently cannot borrow from a bank.
What is he to do?
The firm deal with has been a bene-
factor to many laboring men during the
last twenty years. In many instances
they have very little only a mans good
intentions for security. | have never
heard of them refusing to help any
man who has dealt honestly with them.
/ Last summer a street sweeper dropped
dead who only day or so before had
got help from them and they lost what
he would have paid.
The members Of this firm are home
owners, have the name or used to have
their name. on the outside OF their office
door When one goes to them a fair
understanding is had; there is nothing
obscure or shady in their dealings. |
do not think all should he blamed be.
cause some Of the men in the business
| are sharks. When this communication
is read by the firm II will be the first
they VIII know OF it,

4 Note OF DISQUALIFICATION.

OMAHA, March S.-.To the Editor of
The Bee: There were three principal
governing qualities required by the Clti-
gems union Of candidates receiving the
endorsement OF that organization. First
honesty, which was good. Next, ability;
We know Of no quality more worthy of
at least second place. But the third. that
Of popularity; We trusted the Citizens
union to put themselves In the place of
popularity and choose for the people as
they were organized for that purpose
and In position 10 know these eandi-
dates. regardless of thelr popularity.
If there is any value In popularity
towards making n better government
this value is oyerbalanced by its danger
Gus features. There are several who are
not wholly satisfied with the slate and
the only way to remedy is to place your
vote for good men under the first two
principles regardless Of the last.

SAY No offer Really Passed,

OMAHA, March 50-To the Editor of
The Bee: In your issue of March %,
there appears a statement credited TO "a
man who has been on the inside of the
Citizens union scheme from the start"
This statement is to the effect that the
Omaha Daily News made a proposition
TO the Citizens union to sell II a certain
amount OF space for a certain cash con-
sideration.
From tie beginning, no one has had
any authority and no one has assumed
any authority to speak for the Citizens
union except the members of the execu-
tive committee. In order that the public
may know the exact truth regarding this
matter. we, the undersigned. comprising
every man who has ever been a member
Of the executive committee. except Mr..
Benson, who Is now in Florida and could
not be reached, state, without any equivo-
cation or mental reservation whatever,
that no proposition Of any kind. nature
or description involving the sale to the
Citizens union OF any space in their
paper vas ever made by anyone con-
nected with the News. Furthermore, no
such proposition OF any kind, nature or
description was ever made by us, COL
Iectively. or by any Of US individually, or
by any one representing the Citizens
union to anyone representing the News.
The News has never asked anything
for its support Of the Citizens union
movement and the Citizens union has
never offered the News anything for its
support.
We ask you TO give this letter the same
publicity that you accorded the statement
which 1t is intended to refute.

The temporary Injunction secured by

driving an artesisn well, was set aside
last week by the Chancery Court, after
the matter was heard by the Vice Chance
