The official count Of the California

cation with the Republican leaders OF

WORKERS, UNITE! - April 4th
will soon be here and we again will
have the opportunity Of selecting
our representatives. It is especially
interesting to note the fight that is
being made against Aid. Rodriguez.
Interesting, say, but not strange,
for it is the same old story: eff
champion of the workers shows
marked ability, beat him, beat him at
any cost"
Rodriguez and Kennedy have been
in the city council one year and on
every occasion they have cham
piOned IabOr's cause and that of good
government. Can it be possible that
the men and women of the 18th ward
are not awake to the fact that moth
ing will be left UndOne to beat so able
and fearless a man as Rodriguez?
The time to think and act is now.
l heard an enthusiast say the other
day: Rod has a walk away" No
one hopes so more than myself, but
this is no time to rest on our oars.
Agitate and educate The workers
will finally have to realize that the
old parties are not in the game to
assist them in any way, and that
beneficial laws and conditions can
only be had through real representa-
tives and never on your life through
misrepresentation.
Can any fair-minded worker say
that the time is not rotten ripe for
US to vote together as we work to-
gether? Our heads are. not only to
place hats on; there is gray matter
there, and if enough of US use that
inteIIigently it will mean the begin
ming of a brighter and better day.

tude of wrongs. By voting the old
party tickets you indorse this sort of
thing, as they are pledged to the

this is some job, to make it worse is
not fair.

for deliverance. Although millions
have called on this God for deliver
ance from the scourge Of the present
European war no deliveTance has
come. But God is said to intervene
in the small affairs of life, as many
are affirming. How can the writer
claim that His divine intervention Is
the only cure just because he has
found no other? He is not the only
person on the planet. Many thou

Christian Science; many by just
reading Mrs. Eddy's book, Science

God is different from theirs.
Many say they have been cured by
the silent demand method. Sit in
silence for ten minutes and demand
a cure and they have been cured.
Others testify to the efficacy of plen-

breathing, cold bathing and plain
food in moderation.

JOHN c. PEGG, WEIGHTS AND

For Ten Years He Filled An Import

and the Public.

Omaha, Neb., August Z, 1916
The wholly unexpected death Thurs
day afternoon of John Grant Pegg,
city inspector of weights and meas
ures, at his home, 4308 Patrick ave-
nue., came as a distinct shock to his
family and friends. Two weeks ago
Mr.. Pegg had what was then consid-
cred a slight paralytic stroke from
heat p~rostration and from which he
was apparently rapidly recovering,
and soon expected to be about his
duties. Thursday afternoon he took
a turn for the worse. Twenty min
utes after his death a telegram was
received from his mother asking how
he was.
Mr.. Pegg was born in Richmond,
Va, in 1868, and was raised and edu-
Gated in Kansas. Being the eldest of
a large family he was forced early in
life to earn his own living. For a
time he followed railroad life. He
came to Omaha in 1899, where he has
since resided. He served as messen-
ger to Mayor Frank e. Moores from
1901 to 1906. In 1906 he was appoint.
ed by Mayor Dahlman as inspector OF
weights and measures, which posi-
ton he filled for ten years to the sat
