TAX PAYERS On November 7th the men and women of Omaha must elect eight men to serve on the Omaha School Board with the four who hold over, viz: Robert Cowell, I. W. Carpenter, C. J. Ernst and Thomas A. Fry. The board expends hundreds of thousands of dollars each year and each member must necessarily spend very considerable time in the school board work. The Members Are Paid Absolutely Nothing for Their Services This office, above all others, should seek out the man and the man who is anxious to have the office should not get it. The citizens of Omaha, both men and women, have persuaded the following well known and successful men, against their wishes, however, to give their services for a term: FRANCIS. A. BROGAN, Lawyer JOHN BEKINS, President Omaha Van & Storage Co. SAMUES BURNS, JR., Burns-Brinker & Co., Investment Brokers FRANK N. CLARK, Manager Guy C. Barton Estate WILLIAM A. REED, Mgr. Clay Robinson Co., Live Stock Commission CHARLES O. TALMAGE, President Columbia Underwriters, Insurance CLARENCE V. WARFIELD, Grocer i ARTHUR R. WELLS, Lawyer Not one of the foregoing men desires the place because each knows that acceptance of the position means a big sacrifice, but each is willing to do his civic duty. They are competent men in every respect, and they are men of standing in Omaha and above reproach. Vote for these eight men November 7th and vote the school ticket first as it will be separate BEWARE Of the men who are seeking the position and are anxious to give their time for absolutely nothing. This advertisement is paid for by the citizens of Omaha—not by the candidates. All women who pay taxes or have children of school age are permitted to vote without registering, and the assessor’s office will be open Friday and Saturday of this week to list property for taxation. I FATHERS AND MOTHERS Take heed and further your interests and the interests of your children by voting the straight CITIZENS’ TICKET ELIZABETH J. LINDSEY, MATTHEW A. HALL, Ch. Women’s Com. Ch.
