SPLIT IS OVER SOUTH OMAHA
Democratic Conference Committees Almost
but Not Quite Agreed.
SESSION HELD TO SETTLE DIFFERENCES
Itepreseiitntlon to He Allotted the
SlntiKhter House lJemnoriiey the
Only ThliiK Thnt llns Xot
Been Adjusted,
No harmonious agreement resulted from
tho peace conference Saturday afternoon
between tho rival democratic county com
mittees. Both committees met at 2 p. m
tho Howell cotnniltteo at the rooms of the
County Democracy and the Molse committee
nt tho Board of Trade rooms. Tho former
nppolnted a conference committee com
prising E. E. Howell, Oeorgo Bertram!, J. J.
O'Connor. Dan Cannon nnd A. Hugh Hippie.
This committee sallied forth tip Fnrnam
street. The Molse committee appointed n
conference commlttco comprising Wnltcr
Molso, Harry Miller, J. It. Watts, Rhodlo
Redmond nnd Patrick Caldwell. They sal
lied down Fnrnam street.
Neither commlttco knew Just where It was
to encounter Its conferees, but they met by
chanco nt tho Henshaw, retired to rooms
behind tho closed doors and (or threo hours
tho only Intrusion upon their privacy was
by tho man who responded to tho electric
call with delightful frequency, bearing the
lubricant th'tt Is often wont to oil the wheels
of harmony
To disagreement was encountered that,
under tho genial influences prevailing In
three-linger doBcs, whb not easily surmount
nblo except that over the representation to
bo allowed South Omnha In the next county
convention. Tho Molso crowd has success
fully courted and won the South Omaha
crowd. In fact tho South Omaha following
is nearly the whole push of the MoIho con
tingent, and tho latter was therefore bent
on tho allowance of Boven delegates to each
South Omaha ward, whereas they havo here
tofore been allowed but four. Tho Howell
committee, realizing tho hostility of South
Omnha, did not deslro to help put In the
hands of the South Omnha democracy u
club with which It could beat out Its en
emies' brains. Tho Howellttcs wero willing
that South Omaha wurds should havo their
representation raised to seven each If tho
Omnha wards wero proportionately In
creased. Tho Molso men wanted tho South
Omnha representation Increased nnd tho
question as to tho city wards left open. On
this rock the conference split, nt least for
tho tlmo being. Both committees reported
back their Inability to reach an agreement
nnd were continued. Tho conference com
mlttco will hold another session next Tues
day.
Tho committees agreed, or rnthor did not
disagree, on the points that there shall bo
but ono convention, with Joint primaries
that lists of delegates therefor shall bo filed
with a rclcreo to bo mutually ngrecablo, and
that tho resultant county convention shall
select a. county committee to hold for two
yenrs. Tho dates of convention nnd prl
marles wero not l)xcd, and, In fact, owing to
tho failure to reach an agreement on rep
resentation, none of tbo disputed points
wero Ilnnlly ndjusted.
Tho sentiment of tho Joint committee was
somewhat In fnvor of South Omaha as tho
location of tho convention.
Tho Howell committee ndjonrned to meet
again Saturday next nnd the Molso commit
too subject to tho call of Its chairman.
Congressman Davo Mercer made a rattling
speech last night at the rooms of the Patri
otic league, In which ho went over nil of
the current Issues nnd pointed out the In
sincerity nnd Inconsistencies of tho modern
democratic platform. His closing picture
painted tbo encouraging conditions promls
lng republican success In tho coming cam
paign nnd declared that Nebraska will cer-
tnlnly manifest Its choice to arrange Itself
alongside of Iowa nnd South Dakota rather
than with Colorado and South Carolina.
It was Third ward night nt tho league
rooms. C. F. Tuttlo. ns vlco president for
that ward, presided and addresses were also
mado by John L. Webster. A. H. Murdock
of South Omaha nnd others.
Tho Jacksonlan club will hold Its annual
picnic nt Syndlcato park this year nnd has
selected August 2."i as tho date. W. J. Bryan
and Charles A. Towno havo promised to be
hero and the cnmtnltteo is now trying to se

Al no other hciihou of the year Is ther

nn Imiulrv upon this subject reaches tho
olllcers of the I tilled Sttttes Health lte

with the coming of the heated period, when
beer becomes a more popular bovnrngo
thnti ever before, and the public naturally
seeks Information from what is every
where recognized ns an unbiased source,
and at the same time regarded us thn
standard American authority upon ull mat
