Clerk of District Court Selects Five
Candidates for City Commissioner

appreciate the privilege Of speaking to you tonight
about the City Primary, which will be held just one week
from today.
Out of the large number Of candidates which will
appear on the ballot, fourteen will be nominated; and one
month thereafter, we will select seven from this number,
to serve as City Commissioners for the next three years.
We, as citizens of Omaha, should go to the polls on
next Tuesday and cast our votes, uninfluenced by any
consideration other than a patriotic and unselfish desire
to serve our city.
have lived in Omaha for ffty-three years. have
seen this City grow from a thriving town of thirty thous-
and inhabitants until it has become the Queen City of the
West, the metropolis of Nebraska.
During the past fifty years, many public problems
have arisen to test the leadership and character of our
~citizens-problems of sanitation, education, fire protec-
ton, police administration, etc.
Invention, discovery and changing circumstances
will not permit of absolute, permanent solution of these
problems. However, we may boast that we have met and
solved most of them as we'll as any City in the country.
We have attained a fairly permanent and reasonably sat
isfactory settlement of all of them but one, and that one
is the problem OF police administration. Our failure here
[ attribute to two causes-outside sinister political in
fluence and lack of continuity Of policy and administra-
ton.
During the past three years we have seen the head Of
the Police Department change three times, SO that the
policemen, when he went to bed at night, was never sure
who would be his boss in the morning. Nothing could be
more demoralizing to any organization. The wonder is
that our Police Department functions at all, when we con-
slider the policy Of change and confusion adopted with
reference to it by a majority of the City Commission.
And now We may inquire, what is fundamentally
wrong?" suggest that it is the lack Of harmony and CO.
operation in the City Commission itself, which is reflected
in the ranks of those who serve the City under the Com
mission.
We should elect City Commissioners who have learned
by practical experience how to cooperate; who have the
wisdom to determine what should be done to meet public

The Douglas County Voters League an independent,
nOn-partisan organization, was formed in 1924 for the
purpose of giving independent voters correct information
about candidates for public office that would guide them
in the choice of their public officials.
The founders of the league realize that many voters
have no means Of ascertainingw who among the many can
didates for public office will best serve them if elected.
They therefore, believed they could serve a useful purpose.
by scrutinizing carefully, records of citizens seeking pub
lie office and recommending and indorsing men who have
proven themselves capable, honest, and efficient, and who
viii serve the people ably and faithfully.
Great care has been taken in making these indorse-
ments and during the years the league has been in exist
ence, not one Of the candidates Endorsed by it has proven
to be anything but a competent, loyal public servant. Mem
bers and officers of the Douglas County Voters League
have no personal interest, neither the candidates or the
officers. The organization does not accept funds from any
candidate that is endorsed by them.
They are actuated solely by desire to help the voters
choose honest, upright and capable public officials.
The officers of the organization are: S. E. Klaver, at
torney, President; C. c. Galloway, editor of the Omaha
Guide, Vice-President; Alfonso ]. Bell, Secretary.

Mayor Says Unable
To Verify Charges
Gives No Serious Consideration to
Complaint Of Threat

Mayor Metcalfe stated Wednesday
that he has been unable in a private
investigation to verify a charge made
by Arthur G. Storz before the council
Tuesday that Inspector Danbaum de
manded five hundred dollars from GER
tain persons and received $40 bills.
The mayor also said that after con-
fidential inquiry into Storz's charge
that a man was threatened with arrest
if he did not support a certain candi-
date, he did not believe it fair to give
the matter serious consideration. The
man would not permit his name to be
used.
The mayor announces that if anyone
will bring him concrete evidence Of
any payment Of graft or police inter
ference he will use the power Of his
office to prosecute the guilty persons.
Mayors Statement.
Mayor Metcalfe's statement in full
follows:
Referring to the charges made
in the city council March %, by Arthur
G. Storz, that Inspector Of Police Ben
Danbaum demanded five hundred
dollars from certain persons, and re-
ceived n hundred dollars in five
$40 bills:
Mr.. StorE gave me in confidence
the names of these men and / inter
viewed both Of them, promising to
keep their names in strict confidence.
They both declared that there was no
truth whatever in the charge. and
they added that they have never paid
Mr.. Danbaum or any other police Of
fcer a cent.
In the complaint that a man was
threatened with arrest If he did not
support a certain candidate for office.
this mar made statements to me under
pledge of secrecy. In the absence of
permission to use this mans name. I
do not believe it would be fair to give
serious consideration to his charges
1T is easy to make accusations
against public officials, and it is very
common to have these accusations
made against police officers. Some
times such accusations grow out Of
personal grudges or are made for DO
lltlcal advantage. It is very difficult
to obtain evidence to support such
charges. While doing justice TO pub
lie interests, we must not do injustice
to public officials, but if there is any
man or woman in Omaha who can
bring me concrete and disable evidence
OF any payment Of graft or any police
interference, I will use all the power
OF the mayors office for the protec-
ton Of the informant and the prose
cution of guilty persons"
