At I o'clock this afternoon City
Clerk Elbourn decided he would not
allow the word "republican," used on
the ballot In connection with the
word "Howell." He decided the form
of ballot would dispense with the
party circle at the top and that the
order would be Weller, republican;
Hippie, democrat, and Howell, by
petition. Howell immediately an

Legal complications as to tne make-up of
the official city ballot for mejnbers of the
water bourd have tied themselves up In a
double bowknot, which City Clerk Elbourn
Is still vainly trying to untangle. Whether
or not a petition candidate has the right
to go on at all or not under the Howell
compulsory purchase law la a vexed ques
tion, lawyers holding both ways.
"Jf the petition' candidate does get on,
has he any light to a party designation,
and if so, how?" is the question being
asked. The law provides that two members
of the board shall be elected every other
year, one to be from each of the two domi
nant fiartlcs, but it is not clear as to how
nominations shall be made and does not
direct the form of ballot The scheme. It
Is pointed out makes the use of the party
circle at the top useless, yet such Is de
manded In the Australian ballot law.
City Attorney's Views.
City Attorney Wright, when appealed to
by the city clerk for an opinion, expressed
the belief that the only way out of the
difficulty Is to assume there are two offices
to be voted for, one "republican member of
the water board," and the other "deiro
cratlc member of the water board." Under
the first he would put the name of C. F.
Weller, the regular republican nominee,
followed by the word "republican," and op
posite the petition candidate's name, Imme
diately underneath, he would have the term
"petition" printed. Below, the democratic
ticket would be set forth. This, in his
opinion, la the proper way to make up the
ballot so as to give the proper Information
to voters that they should vote for two
members of the board, one democratic and
ono republican, and to know how and for
whom they are voting.
The city clerk is not altogether satisfied
with this opinion and has asked Judge
Woolworth and other lawyers for their
views. He declined to pass upon the ques
tion this morning when Importuned by 'At
torney Breen, representing Howell, to dis
cord the party circle and place the peti
tion candidate's name beneath that of the
democratic, followed by the words "repub
lican by petition."
Mr. Breen expressed a willingness that
the clerk decline to put Howell's name on
the ballot, so the controversy can be taken
into court and settled there.
Elbourn already has decided the petition
is sufficient as such. He will try to settle
the ballot question today.
Opinion et W. J. Coon ell.
Attorney W. i. Connall Is of the opinion
that Howell's name has uj i.giu uu iiw
oinclal ballot at all. He says:
"The law provides that there shall be
elected two members of the Water board,
one from each ef the two political parties
casting the highest vote at the last elec
tion. Without controversy the two partlos
that would be entitled to representation
are. the republican and democratic parties.
The law clearly contemplates that only one
candidate from each of the two parties
shall be placed on the ticket. Otherwise
the socialist party, by presenting a petition
with the required 250 signers, would be
entitled to representation, and if its candi
date received the highest number of votes.
It would be claimed he was elected, not
withstanding the plain requirement of the
law that only the nominees of the parties
casting the highest vote at the last election
would bo entitled to representation.
"There can' be but. one candidate of the
republican party and that is the candidate
who is certified by the proper committer
to be its candidate. As I view it, Mr. How
ell no more has the right to come In under
the pretense that he is a republican than
he would if he claimed to be a socialist.
I think it Is clearly the duty of the city
clerk to refuse to place on the official bal
lot the name of any candidate except the
two who are duly certified by the repub
lican and democratic parties."
COFFEE TARIFFS DISTURBED
Rates Out of Joint, bnt Jobbers Do
Not Look for Scrlona
Time.
Considerable Interest in Jobbing circles
is being directed toward coffee tariffs,
which have been unsettled for several
weeks. Railroads have been looking for a
demoralization of the rates, but until the
present it has not become manifest. It is
charged by some of the local representa
tive that one of the eastern lines has
been making secret cuts Into the rates but
difficulty seems to be experienced in get
ting at the exact facts. Most of the coffee
received in Omaha Is shipped by the way
of Galveston, the Rock Island securing a
lion's share of the business. It is shipped
to the gulf from eastern ports, via the
Mallory steamship lines.
A share of the business is transferred
to the lake route and the all-rail routes
are allowed a differential, but despite this
fact It is alleged that considerable cutting
has been going on in order to get a larger
share of the business.
Arthur A. Allen, vice president of Allen
Bros, company, said:
"There has been some fluctuation In the
tariff on coffee, but not enough to disturb
the situation. The rate on coffee Is higher
than it ought to be, but we are not looking
for any serious disturbance."

In an address following the luncheon
tendered her by . the Boston club women

Piatt Decker, president of the General
Federation of Women's clubs, said In part:
"The General Federation la steadily grow

They tell us we are governed by political
bosses. Well, then, we must make a

APPEAL TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS
Charles F. Weller States the Condi
tions of His Candidacy for Mem
bership In the Water Board.
A great deal has been said through the
democratic press regarding the fraudulent
printing of ballots, etc.. at the recent re
publican primaries. It must be apparent to
every Intelligent voter that this Is flmply a
schemt on the part of the democrats to
cause dissension In the ranks of the re
publicans and thereby insure the election
of some of their candidates.
In agreeing to accept the republican nom
ination for member of the Water board I
did so, not because of any desire to go into
politics, but simply for the reason that I
thought I might be of some benefit to the
citizens of Omaha. I will not go Into any
discussion of the issues before the people,
but will simply say that if I am elected
to membership on the Water board I will
see to It that the Interests of the people
are fully protected. I did not seek this
office, and, so for as I am individually con
cerned, it Is immaterial to me whether I
am elected or 11 t, but as matters stand I
am the candlduie of the republican party,
duly nominated at the primaries, without
any shadow of a doubt, and am therefore
entitled to the votes of all republicans. I
am not going to make any personal can
vass, believing that the intelligent citizens
of Omaha fully realize the Bltuatlon as It
exists and will govern themselves accord
ingly. C F. WELLER.

COLUMBUS YARN ' IS DENIED
Report Union Pacific and Bnrllnaton
Will Swap Truck Is Disclaimed
by Officials.
The report from Columbus that the Union
Pacific and the Burlington have under con
sideration the plan of trading a few miles
of tracks which would continue their lines
in middle Nebraska Is denied by the officials
of both the Union Pacific and the Burling
ton. The I'nlon Pacific has a line extend
ing from Lincoln to David City. The I'nlon
Pacific tracks between David City aqd Co
lumbus are not connected. TT.n connection
is completed by the Burlington.
Between David City and Stronisburg is a
short stretch of Union Pacific tracks. If
the Burlington had it It would give the last
named road a through line from Lincoln to
Stromsburg and from there down to York.
By trading tracks tho Union Pacific would
have a through line from Lincoln to Co
lumbus via David City and could make di
rect connecUuns with intermediate points
over Its own lines, while the Burlington
would be placed In the same position be
tween IJncoln and Stromsburg. In short
each company has a stretch of road broken
op at on point by a comparatively short
pier of the other company's tracks. A
Union Pacific official said the idea of a
trade bad not been entertained. For the
Burlington O. W. Holdrrga said the matter
had not been considered by the Burlington
eo far as be Is aware.
