Demo Boss Admits
Republican Victory
And That's How 1t Came I hat
lie Committed a political
Ineptitude.''

what is political ineptitude?
asked one Omaha democrat of an
other. yesterday afternoon.
Harry B. Fleharty committed a
political ineptitude last Wednesday,
which was democratic day,"I at the
Douglas county fair at Waterloo,
where Mr.. Fleharty spoke under
democratic auspices and for the
democratic cause.
In explanation of this, it may be
stated that Mr.. Flehartv told his
audience that the republican party
would win this fall and that is the
reason why the democrats must
grid their loins.
II do not doubt that Mr.. Fleharty
spoke his real mind when he said
that the republicans would win in
November, but I would not admit
it if Iwere speakinghas democrat.
However. | give Fleharty credit in
this instance for uttering convlc-
ton continued the democratic pas
serby.
Democratic leaders here have
whispered to Fleharty an injunction
against admitting republican sue
cess, even if he feels that way about
it.
Waterloo is strong republican
community- and it is believed that
may explain Mr.. Fleharty's frank
ness of expression on this occasion.

Kirk Attorney
Investigating
Furlough Case
Prepares for Long Fight to
Prevent Return of Omaha
Gupnaan to the State
I Penitentiaryl

Lincoln, Sept, 1S.-(Special. y
Attorney Earl DeFord, counsel for
ByrrC. Kirk, came to Lincoln Sat-
urday to gather data to enable him
to, fight the extradition of the
Omaha gunman to Nebraska as a
fugitive from justice. During the
morning he made trip to the peni-
tertiary to examine the records in
the Kirk "furlough" aud also to talk
with Harry Williams, one of Kinks
partners, who is serving aeentence
for the same crimes
Mr.. DeFord also called on At
torneys Peterson and DeVoe, VITO
procured Kinks release from the
penitentiary last December on a
furlough issued three months prior
by Acting Governor B. K. Bushee.
At the penitentiary. Attorney De-
Ford asked to see the furleugh on
which Kirk was freed from prison,
but this document had been turned
over to Chief Agent Gus A. Hyers
before he left for Des Moiifes to
bring Kirk back. The Des Moines
lawyer sought other. information
from the prison records. He did not
dkelose to officials what was dis
ctksed with Convict Williams.
ATTORNEY General Davis an
nounced that he sent one of his as
sisisnts, Mason Wheeler, to Des
Moines to represent the state in the
legal proceedings started by Kinks
attorney. He declined to say what
course of action would be pursued
by himself.
Attorney De Ford declafed it
would be a year before Kirk was
back in the penitentiary if ever at
all. The Dcs Moines lawyer said
he would carry his fight to the
United States supreme court, if nee
csssry. to keep Kirk out of prison,
One Of De Ford's contentious in
tile legal fight for Kinks freedom
will be that the "furfougt" is the
sante as conditional pardon, and
if Kirk has not violated any of its
conditions he cannot be returned.
There are no. specific provisions in
the order about Kinks behavior ,r
The order directed the
warden to release Kirk, subject to
further orders"
