CANDIDATES WHO
LOST ALL PLEDGE
THEIR SUPPORT
Line Up Back Of Republican
Ticket; Morale of Party Is
High After Close of
the Primary.

In the language of the military ex-
perts the morale of the republican
party in this county, following the
primary clash, remains high.
Prospects of success are good.
Defeated candidates are unanimous
in pledging support to successful op-
ponents and to the entire republican
ticket.
Before he hurried away on a vaca-
tion to Massachusetts, N. P. Dodge
assured Albert w. Jefferis, his COIL
gressional rival, that he would con-
tribute to the campaign fund and
help for the interests of the republi-
can nominees.
Mr.. Dodge gave assurance that
there were no sore spots" on him.
Mr.. Jeffers has also received letter
from Mr.. Dodge, extending congratu-
lations and promising hearty sup
port.
Happy as June Bride.
J. J. Boucher, who wanted to be
county attorney, appears as happy
as June bride. He writes the fol-
lowing statement:
Early in the campaign I had the
thrill that comes only once in life
time. | saw the new moon over my
right shoulder and from that time on
there was no doubt in my mind as to
my nomination. When the returns came
in and | observed the large num-
ser of votes that I didn't get, / felt
like the disappointed farmer when he
returned from having sold his hogs
and said to himself, The derned hogs
didn't weigh as much as | had ex-
pected and I didn't expect that they
would And now that the excitement
has passed and | see the large number
of votes that were intended for me,
but which were copped by the other
fellows, I think of the soldier at Camp
Funston who was granted furlough,
but had no money with which to
pay his way home. Remembering his
early training. he wrote letter to the
Lord asking for $500. The letter fell
into the hands of the boys at the
Young Mems Christian association
hut, who made up a purse of $50 and
sent it to him in a Young Mems
Christian association envelope,
without notation. In due time
there came another letter from the
soldier, advising the Lord that the
next time he sent money to send it
through the Knights of Columbus. as
the last time the Young Mems
Christian association guys kept
out $50. That was the first time
l ever had my hat in the ring and
had lots of fun out of it. am for
the ticket and now that it has been
nominated l am going to do al! that
| can to elect it"
Stands Back of Ticket.
w. I. Kirkstead, one of the de-
feated republican legislative candi-
dates, said: THE republican nominees
will have my support. We all had
fair chance and the best men won.
In fact, | think this republican ticket
is the best we have had in many
years"
Now is the time for the republi-
cans of Douglas county and of the
state to get together" says Bob Smith,
who admits that his slate of candi-
dates were defeated. Il am ready to
do all that I can for the success of
the party this fall"

Louis Metz Visits Omaha;
His Friends Don'tKnow Him

The story of a returned prodisal"
was recently printed in narrative
concerning the mystical happenings
that have befallcn former Omahan,
Louis Metz, nov a resident of Los
Angeles. Mr.. Metz was back in Oma-
ha for a short visit and the Omaha
Examiner gathered data for the fol-
lowing story which appeared in that
paper:
Louis Metz, whose home is now in
Los Angeles, is passing few weeks
in Omaha to close up his business af-
fairs. During his residence OF year
in California a wonderful change has
taken place in his personal appear
ance.
Thirty years ago he met with an
accident which resulted in the loss
of his hair on the top of his head
where the hair ought to grow. To
cover his badness he wore a dark
wig. A few months ago when ad
justing it in front of his mirror he

John Kisicki 264l X street, South
Side blacksmith, has two sons in

Uncle Sam. Paul aged Is, is now
with band at Fort Riley and ex-
poets to be transferred soon to the
first band. Omaha boys he has met
there are Joe Scheiger, E. Drexel and
Mr.. Echteymer from west Q street.
Clement Kisicki, aged q, is black
smith with Company A at Logan,
Utah, and writes an interesting letter
of his first lesson in the art. After
making a wedge he was asked by
the instructor to sharpen pick. This
he did, at the same time tempering it.
When the instructor saw the work
he tried it by dropping it on the ce-
ment floor on the point. This made a
hole in the floor about three inches
in diameter and so pleased the in
structor that he asked the boy who
taught him the trade. The credit
was gladly given his father.

PARADE Marks
OPENING OF Big
war CARNIVAL
Double Line of MarCherS More
Than Nile Long; Record
Attendance at Bluffs
Entertainr ont.

The longest parade that has march
ed i'll the streets of Council Bluffs in
recent years Signalized the opening
of the military carnival last night. 1t
started at the intersection of Pearl
and Main streets and when the head
had countermarched at the Broadway
Methodist church and reached North
Eighth street on Broadway the NOV
ing line was still coming up Main
street from the starting point, max
ing the double stream on Broadway
alone more than a mile long.
The parade was a manifestation of
the hearty response to the appeal OF
the entertainment. bureau for a
spectacular opening of the carnival
1t was wholly a home affair, and
was not led by the quadruple platoon
OF United States soldiers promised by
Major Thompson at Fort Crook.
One of the interesting features was
the great array of service flags car
ried by individuals, manufacturing
and business firms, fraternal and civic
organizations.
Carry Service Flags.
Some of the flags proudly displayed
by the latter bore 100 or more stars.
Another feature that was literally ap-
plauded was the big service flag Of
the First Baptist church, carried in
defiance to the action of the Ministe-
rial association.
All of the Catholic churches and
societies were very prominent. Fol
lowing platoon of police band of
50 pieces furnished by the Beno COM
pany led the parade, and behind the
band came the famous drum corps.
The paraders moved between double
rows Of automobiles lining both sides
OF the streets, and for the half hour
required for its progress all traffic
was suspended, including the street
cars.
When the parade disbanded the
crowd poured through the carnival
gates, and a record first night at
tenance was the result The car
nlval will continue all this week.

encouraged.
Going over to Catalina Island he
remained there month and threw
aside his wig and roamed about bare
headed. The hair took a big start,
coming out gray, as Louis is 50 years
older than when he lost it.
ITO make long story short,
Louis Metz today has head full of
thick, gray hair and is the hand
soonest and happiest and proudest
man between the Missouri river and
the Pacific coast. His friends have
difficulty in recognizing him owing to
the wonderful transformation.
This is not an advertisement for
any hair tonic. 1t is simply a hair
raising story. And furthermore it is
true. How il happened Lotus Metz
is unable to say. He declares it is
