AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Great Effort Being Made to Defeat
Consolidation Plan.
POLITICIANS GET VERY BUSY
They Are ClamorinR for vote On
Project Ia Hope Of DcIayinE
Measure People Already
On Record For.

Laboring men and poor people q south
Omaha, together with many who insist
upon consolidation. are expressing them
selves freely as TO tho performances OF
a few politicians, whp have undertaken
to use the old sleight of hand tricks to
beat consolidation when the legislature
meets this time. II Is conceded that the
people OF tho city want consolidation and
that they have wanted IL for years. II
Is said that the people have gone 50
far as TO cast heavy vote Tor the propo-
sition, but that IL never showed up in
the returns Yet the politicians with eyes
turned upon comfortable offices are
anxious to beat the proposition when II
comes up before the legislature. The cry
Is now to let the people vote on II.
The Last Resort.
This Is used when everything else fails.
II will be remembered that the people
have voted on the measure before this
and many OF the people insist that the
consolidation carried at one OF the cleo
tons at least Now the people want the
legislature to put the professionals out
OF the running by legislative action. II
will cost less and will bring quicker
results.
