AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Controversy Over House Roll No. 1877
Expected to Be Settled Before
Adjournment.
IOWA YOUTHS VISIT THE YARDS


Governor Morehead'S statement that
the Greater Omaha proclamation awaited
the passage OF house roll No. 1871 pro-
viding for funds to run tho greater city
between the time OF consolidation and
January /. when the Omaha levies are
made, was not unexpected here. A number
OF South Omaha politicians made visit
to Governor Morchead some days ago
and claim to have gotten his promise that
he would not Issue the proclamation un-
less provision was made for taking care
Of the city in the interim between the
election and the following January. What
the local politicians actually wanted was
an assurance that the governor would
not issue the election proclamation until
after next years levy had been made in
August.
As a matter Of fact, the fight on house
roll No. 1877 is nothing more than poll
ticians' fight. involving both local and
Omaha politicians. House roll No. 1H IL
said to have been kept back in order to
keep the legislature from extending the
terms Of the Omaha officeholders. many
Of whom feared the votes OF the Greater
Omaha. The Douglas delegation was
divided upon the measure. insofar as
that measure concerned the amendment
10 postpone the primaries and city cleo
tons until after the merger. 1t was said
yesterday by weli-informed people that
the Omaha charter amendments would
probably be passed. -
