Omaha public library, and of this, 122 bal loti were marked for the winning candidate. Official announcement of the re suits of the election was made yes terday afternoon at 4. in the South diHaha library, where the electors were assembled for the Children's Story Hour.

Complete figures on the voting are as follows: Itohin HoOd. 122; Roland, 52; King Arthur, 25; -Siegfried, 4. Suffragette Is I,eader, The outcome Is the result of a week's whirlwind campaign which Included some exciting electioneer ing. .One ardent young suffragette supporter of the hold outlaw of Sherwood forest held the door of the children's room anil demanded that all her friends who appeared should mark their ballots for lhe leader of the Merrie Men. It chanced that among them was a lass whose real inclination laJ toward Chllde Roland, hut, with more prudence than con viction, she yielded to the orders of the youthful Pankliur.st and went for*Lincoln green. A little later her natural preferences rcaserteil them selves. so she went out and organiz ed n group of six, who cast their ballots for the second candidate. Ubntry authorities are coin l ined at the landslide toward a labor gov ernin'nr shown by the in jority of ITood. They console themselves, however, l>y reflei ting that there is nothing red about the men In I.in coin green, and add the reflection which is today bolstering up the courage of conservatives in the suc cessful candidate's native land, when they contemplate the rise of Ramsay Mac Donald, to wit, that the new man is likely to prove less radical when he is In power than he whs in opposi tion. Hold Story Hour Weekly. The South Side library is the only one in tlie city where the Children's Story Hour is held weekly. Every Thursday, a group of from 50 to 100 children congregate on their way home from School and listen spell bound to the tales dramatically told them by Miss Kate Schwartzlander. Attendance averages about 80. On# number of some great heroic sag* cycle is told at every story hour, w liil# the rest of the time is taken up with fairy tales or other chil dren's stories. The adventures of l lysses have been tlie main feature of tlie hour for six weeks. Irish fairy tales and fabli-s. especially those witli tho characteristic Celtic humor in them, prove great favorites, declares Miss Schwartzlander. The children, she says, are very quick to get a joke. Sometimes they see it coming a long time before it arrives, anil the room bubbles with suppressed giggles which burst into a peal of laughter when the funny part is reached. Sessions Held During Winter. Children of many different national inheritances meet at the story 'hour and learn to share together the great literary legacy whit’ll, although de scended from many different lands.
