Why They Want Holovtchiner's Scalp.

Omaha, November 3,--To the Edi-
| tor of The, Bee: Dr. Holovtehiner
has asked why the citizens committee
| eliminated his name and. two others
from the citizens ticket. Kindly'al-
low us space to answer. ~
The basis of the unheaval of two
years ago, which resulted In the cleo
ton of every member on the citizens
ticket for the Board of Education,
was the alleged withdrawing of the
principal Of the Omaha High School
Of Commerce and the subsequent disa
missal Of some and demotion of othe~
teachers who testified against him
the trial, after receiving assuranceN
from members Of the Board of Educa'
ton that they would be protected and
their positions in no way affected III
they should testify freely as to the
facts.
The people of Omaha have not for
| gotten that Mr.. HoIovtchiner presided
at that trial and also voted for the de-
motion and dismissal of the teachers.
In view Of these facts Of record, his
plea now for fair play does not come
with very good grace, and 1t will not,
we think, be given much considera-
| ton. DR.. Holovtchiner and the other
gentlemen mentioned In his letter
were holdover members two years
ago, but they are now up for re-elec-
ton and should be given to UNDER
stand that the people are not ready
now to endorse what they condemned
| by their votes two years ago.
Answering his second question,
why was there any need or neces-
sity for so-called citizens ticket?"
we say that the situation is critical, as
the term Of Office of one-half of the
men elected two years ago will expire
January /, leaving only four hold
overs. The citizens committee was or
ganized for and is advocating the
election of the citizens ticket in or
der that these four holdover members
be given the support to which they
are entitled and not be left in the mi
nority during the next two years. The
citizens ticket is composed Of men
who command the respect and esteem
of all classes. and we can conscien-
tiously recommend them on their
merits. M. A. HALL,
| Chairman Citizens Committee,
