MADE IN OMAHA. 1512y2 Dodge Street Nebraska DEMOS CALL OFF BIG TON DAY Unable to Get Speakers Willing to Jump Into Breach and Talk at Fair. SAD BLOW TO KARMOXT HAS (From a Staff Correspondent.) IJNOOLN, Aug. 27. Speclal.)-The democrats can find no one with the nerve to come to the Nebraska state fair and tell the people what the democrat to party has not done to run tho government suc cessfully and so the committee which started out with fleas flying and bands playing, metaphorically speaking, for a bang up AVoodrow Wilson day, lias called It off and democratla oratory at the fair will have to be confined to personal re marks from the members of one faction to the members of the other. The committee selected by the "get to gether" meeting two weeks ago could not get together on a speaker today, and whll the names of Felix Newton and Tower and Power Allen were susRosted as men who could tell interesting things about some democrats, the suggestion was turned down by the party and the day called off. This Is a sad blow to democratic hopes. On the spur of the moment the plan was suggested to have a Wood row Wilson day and get speakers of national reputAtlon to come and orate, bu while many were) called none waa willing to come to tho fair and tackle the harmony pioKiain. In the meeting the matter waa discussed pro and con, but no agreement could be reached, and after the committee had de cided It was a "darn poor time to hold a meeting anyway." the committee dis banded and the day was called off. While there will be no democratic day at the fair, It Is pretty evident that the political tomahawks and bowle knives taken from the republicans will be In evi dence and will be used to continue the very apparent peculiar brand of harmony which democrats Insist prevails among Nebraska followers of Thomas Jefferson.

"I would say that your new planning board should spend the first year In get ting a line on the situation.

By communication I mean all means of travel, whether of pedestrians, steam cars, traction, automobiles. That Is a big problem for a growing city. Provision should be made for tho swift-moving pleasure vehicles so they will not Inter fere with business vehicles. "Fortunately Omaha has broad streets, a desideratum for which many cities to day are paying millions of dollars.
