V. W. MILLER,
Chairman Democratic County Central Com.
The above statements were given out last
nignt by the chairmen of the republican
and democratic county central committee.
While there has been' a fierce 'fight wag
ered by the democrats on the republican
nominees for treasurer and sheriff, every
thing yesterday Indicated a sweeping vic
tory .for the entire republican ticket. Re
ports from all over the county indicate thai
Brooks Reed, the democratic candidate for!
treasurer, will be beaten by at least SX)
votes and If the full vote is gotten out by
considerably more. '."Jlmmfe" O'Nell, the
aged candidate on the democratic ticket for
sheriff. It Is generally conceded1, will full
at least 1.000 votes behind Edward Canning,
the republican nominee.
Commits Political Suicide.
The attempt of Brooks Reed, the demo
cratic candidate .for county treasurer, to
Inject the Eagles' and Elks lodges Into the
political arena In his support, his friends all
say, must prove "his undoing. - In nj pre
vious campaign In this city has any mem
ber of any fraternal organization adopted
the course that Reed has and a prominent
member of the dcmocrallo party yesterday,
expressed the opinion that as far as he
could figure It out from the sentiment ex
pressed by the members of these two o:--'
ganlaatlons "Reed has cut his own throat."
Edward Canning, th republican nominee
for sheriff, his friends estimated last night,
.will be elected by at least 1,000 majority
over "Jlmmle" O'Nell, the aged nominee
of the democratic party. Reports from all
precincts In the county indicate that these
figures may be even Increased, as 'the dem
ocrats throughout the eounty generally are
of the opinion that O'Nell has passed that
age when he should seek public office, much
less an office with such strenuous duties at
tached to it as that of sheriff. 1
U O. Conalgney. the republican candi
date for county tressurer, has not been a
perennial offlceiieeker like 'his opponent.
Brooks Reed,.and this la the first time that
he has asked the suffrage of the voters
of this countjr. On the other hand. Brooks
Reed has for many years In the part fed
from the publio pap and It Is doubtful It
an election h(ks passed since he was retired
from office that he has not made an effort
to break In again. He has been defeated
time and tlmfi again, bnt he bobs up ssati.
The last democratic convention Inveighed
against the third-termer, but falling an
other candidate for the office nominated
Brooks Reed the . veteran officeholder and
seeker. The. same is, .true of "Jlmmle"
O'Nell, the democratic candidate Jfor sheriff,
and those who profess to be on the Inside
ay that O'Nell's nomination was due to
the fact that It was known he would be
.willing to provide the sinews of the cam
paign for the democratic county central
committee In return for the nomination.
O'Nell la the' only candidate on the demo
cratic ticket who has money 'to' spend and,
In the parlance of the stage folk, he has
acted the, "angel." '
MeMnnae Haa Experience.
County Superintendent McManus, who ts
seeking a re-election on the republican
ticket, has during the tenure fit his office
proven hlmsolf one of the foremost edu
cators of thelstate and his ability as such
has been recognised In Ms appointment as
a member of 'the State Examining board.
Against Superintendent' McManus the dem
ocrats have as their candidate W. 1 Ran
kin, a young man who la beginning his
career as an educator) as a teacher In the
schools of the town of Carson.
Dr. V. X Treynor, the republican nomi
nee for coroner, is a candidate for an office
which sought him and which he did not
seek. Dr. Treynor Is not a candidate In
the accepted meaning of the word. At 'no
time haa he ' sought the office; the ' office
so far as the. republican party of this
county is concerned, has sought him. Dur
ing Dr. Treynor's tenure of the office the
county has been saved hundreds of dollars
and the records of the office of the county
auditor will prove to any ono Interested
that the expenses of the coroner during
Dr. Treynor's Incumbency have been sev
eral hundred dollars less each year than
ever before In the history of Pottawattamie
county. , ".
It la, generally conceded that Thomas
Toatevtn, the republican, candidate for
county surveyor, ' Is the most competent
man for the place. Mis experience as a
civil engineer, -specialty In Pottawattamie
oounty, tits him for the position probably
more than any other man who' could be
named. Mr. Tostevln's past services to

The republican nominees for the County
Board of Supervisors are: Allen J. Bullls,
who seeks re-election, and George YJ Spen

the board has shown himself an able and
conservative administrator of the' county's
affairs, while Mr. Spencer, who Is one
of the foremost cltlsens of Neola township,
has long been recognised as one of the
leading business men of his part of the
county.
The polls will be open this morning at

republican central committee Is anxious1
that every republican who can shall cast

work In Omaha or at any. distance from
their place of residence cast their ballot
before going to work.

MATTER fUB AGAIN
Council Committee Hakes , Hcort,
hat No Matter Is Taken
Thereoa.
Outside of the ordinary routine buslneBi
before the city council at Its monthly ses
sion last night was the question of requir
ing the electric, lights telegraph and motor
companies to place their wires underground
In the business section of the city. This
matter when before the council before had
been referred to a committee, of which
Alderman ,Lbvett was chairman; and the
subject .was brought up for discussion on
his report. ., " ,
Alderman I.ovett stated that the etectrlo
light company' proposed fe- place its .wires
In the central part of the city underground
next year, but that- It was not practicable
for the street railway company to do 'so.
The Western ...Union Telegraph company,
Mr. Lovett said,, had advised -him that in
stead of placing Kb wires underground It
proposed In the near future to replace its
sixty or more wires with not more than
three cables In the business section of the
city. This, Mr. Lovett suggested, would ob
viate the necessity of the company placing
Its wires In underground conduits at least
tor several years to come. The Postal com
pany, he said, had recently Installed prac
tically a new system of wires in this city
and was not prepared at this time to make
any extensive alterations.
.While the matter was dlseussed.-at length
the jt-ouncH took nonaction, in ;thenmJtr I
beyond accepting the. report of the commit-
tee, and It is understood that the matter
will be allowed to rest, at least for- some
time to, come. -t . , . i i i.
i Another rrtatt'er whlcfr Invoked consider
able discussion was the need of street cros
sings In many parts of the city. Alderman
Huber stood out for brick crossings, but
after the matter had been thoroughly dis
cussed it was decided to authorise the com
mittee on streets and alleys to construct
100 plank crossings In the Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth wards, as being the portions of the
city most In need of them.
The liberality of the city counell In au
thorising the construction of the crossings
prompted Alderman Casper, chairman of
the committee on bridges, to suggest that If
he had the authority he would like to put In
a number of culverts In those -parts' of the
city which needed draining.. The matter
was referred to the city solicitor and If he
gives it as his opinion that the committee
of which Casper Is chairman can go ahesd
and construct the culverts without special
authority , ss to each separate culvert, as
many culverts as the committee deems
necessary are to be put In. '

Scandinavians for Ticket,
The Scandinavian club held a rousing
meeting last evening; and unanimously en
dorsed the entire republican ticket. Not
only did the club endorse the ticket, but the
members Individually expressed their In
tention of working; for' its success at the
polls today.' This action on the part of the
oiub Is a complete refutation of a certain
democratic organ that the Scandinavians of
this city had decided to support the demo
cratic candidates, especially those for
treasurer and sheriff. This misleading state
ment, which It Is said emanated from the
headquarters of the democratic county cen
tral committee without any warrant, proved
most displeasing t U Scandinavian com
munity and the action of the club last night
entirely refutes It
Residence for Presiding Elder.
The Methodists of ' Council Bluffs are
planning to build a residence In this city
as the permanent home for the presiding
elder of the district. It Is estimated that
a fund of about $10,000 wilt be rcquh-ed and
tke matter Is in the hands of a committee
consisting- of Presiding Elder Griffith. Rev.

ENTERTAIN"iTICKNEY PARTY
President of Great Western and
Korthtra laltors Meet Com .
merrlal Clab.
President Stlckney and his party of Min
nesota capitalists, on their arrival In this
city yesterday morning were entertained at
breakfast at the Grand hotel by the
directors of the Commercial club and a
number ot leading professional and busi
ness tnen of the city. After the. menu
had been disposed of President Bender of
the Commercial club, In a few well chosen
words bid the visitors welcome to Council
Bluffs and Introduced Emmet Tlnley, State
Senator C. Q. Saunders and Congressman
Smith.
Mr. Tlnley referred to the necessity for
a change In the method of assessment of
railroads and urged that railroad com
panies should join In urging the passage
of a law by the next legislature taxing
railway terminals, at least at the places
where they are located. Colonel Saunders
spoke of the advantages of Council Bluffs
as a shipping center.
Congressman Smith recalled the Incident
that Abraham Lincoln, long before his
nomination for president, came here to lo
cate a claim under a Black Hawk Indian
war warrant, that he stood on the bluffs
overlooking this city and subsequently,
when he as president had to locate the
eastern terminus of the Union Paclilo
placed It In Council Bluffs.
President Stlckney made a short address,
In which he said that Council Bluffs and
Omaha were practically one shipping cen
ter and that there should be no reason
why they should not become one of the
great grain markets of the United. States.
Owing to the heavy downpour of rain
the drive sbout the city ,had to be aban
doned and Instead the visitors were ten
dered an lnVonnal reception at the Elks'
clubhouse.
At 11:30 o'clock the visitors, accompanied
by the members of the. executive commit
tee of the Commercial club, boarded a spe
cial motor and after a trip to Sixteenth
avenue and around . the loop on Pierce
street crossed the river to Omaha.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Nov. I. (Special.)--While
there is more or leas of academic discus,
slon of the else of the republican majority
for the head of the ticket on Tuesday and
the guessing Is greatly varied In character,
the c'.osest figuring Is done on the legisla
tive tickets. Everyone recognises that the
result at this time may have an Important
bearing on the senatorial contests of the
future, and In fact this Is one source of
some of the factional feeling that has
broken out In the state the last few weeks.
The democrats hope to gain a number ot
seats In the legislature, and their hopes
have been somewhat encouraged by the
covert attacks of republicans, embittered
by factional 111 will. It Is "no secret that
in many , parts of . the state there are re
publicans who have heretofore stood high
In the councils of the party who' are now
giving no real support to the ticket In one
way or anotlier they have given encourage,
mejit to the democrats. That this may
have the effect of reducing the majority
for the republican state ticket will be ac
knowledged by all. But It will also have
some effect on the legislative districts.
The democrats have ten seats In ths senate
now and seventeen In the house. They will
keep three In the senate by the holdovers
and In the house they have a sure thing ot
perhaps a half dozen. The fighting ground
is confined to about a doxen senatorial dis
tricts and twice aa many house districts.
It is in this list that the interest now cen
ters. Below will be found a statement of
the doubtful column, or where there have
been contests of a nature to arouse unusual
interest, with the vote in these districts
cast tor Cummins and Phillips two years
ago. But Inasmuch aa the vote ot two
years ago was an abnormal one for Gov
ernor Cummins on account of his great
personal popularity and the failure of his
opponent to put up any campaign, these
figures make a much better showing for
the republicans than any other figures that
might be selected. But the comparison will
be mado with the vote on governor two
years ago and' the interesting districts are
as follows:

In connection with the houses of III repute
In the city. His trial Is set for this week.
At the time he was struck he had on his
person a letter addressed to htm, but con
taining a note apparently for Chief of
Police -Brackett, and It IS believed the
writer had written to Brackett and to
Dailey and had got the letters In wrong en
velopes. At any rate It Is regarded that the
attempt to murder Dailey Is In some way
connected with the prosecution of the con
stables and police In the city. The feeling
between the police and the township au
thorities has become very bitter.
