DAVIS DEAL OF LAST YEAR
How Couneilmen Had Planned to
Fill Twelfth Ward Vacancy.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN MEMBERS
Republican to be Chosen for Twelfth
and Also for Eighth I'm Event
of Hsmmei Getting to
BE sheriff.

This talk of filling the council va
cancy from the Twelfth ward reminds
Inc that that same vacancy came near
city hall rounder Don't YOU remem-
Der when Councilman Davis went out to
Pueblo to look after business that had
belonged 10 his brother, and announced
his intention TO give up his residence in
Omaha and remove there? He communi-
Gated this plan of his TO his colleagues
in the council, and Its miscarriage was
not their fault.
When Davis got back from Colorado
he found himself pounced on by several
constables summoni9g him into justice
courts TO tell why he had not paid up
certain accumulated debts. and at that
time he set about to gather In a little
easy money. To more than one party
who wanted TO inherit his shoes he sug-
ested that his resignation would be worth
something. at least enough TO square up
what he owed. particularly as the other
eouneilmen had promised to let him name
his successor. and he could therefore
guarantee to deliver the goods. Inquiry
of some of the counclmanic associates
in a way corroborated Davis assertion.
as they said that while Davis endorse
ment would not all go by itself. II would
be given great weight. Councilman
Hummei was just at that moment trying
for the nomination for sheriff. and II was
also gwen out that the Twelfth ward
councilman's Job was to be placed where
It would be helpful for that purpose.
Failing TO make the deal. Davis recalled
his decision TO resign and staid on the
job. probably TO his sorrow.
Agreement 10 for q Republican.
AS to the place going to a republican
or democrat. that was all threshed out
at that time. As every one knows. an
inner circle combine Of three republicans
and three democrats has been running
the council for the last three years, and
the agreement was reached by the COM
hine that all vacancies in elective city
offices should be filled from the same
party as the outgoing officer. That is
how the city attorneyship was kept BY
the democrats when City Attorney Bur-
nam died. and the city comptrollership
passed on to another democrat when
Congressman Lobeck resigned. Tho
Davis place in the council was TO so to
a republican, even though without him
the remaining councilmen could name a
democrat by TO 5, and the same under
standing applied to the seat Of Hummei.
which be expected to vacate in favor of
a successor Of his own selection when he
became sheriff. So far the democrats
have had the benefit Of that agreement
all the way through, and they certainly
will not go back on II now when the re-
publicans have a Twelfth ward council
