JIMS AND JACKS
DIVIDE DELEGATES
TO CONTENTION
Big Howl Goes Up Over Dahl
man for Chairman and the
Matter Is Open; Metcalfe
Scores German Press.
The "Jajck," led bytheir indomitable
general. Thomas B. Murray, threw a
wrench into the democratic organi'j
zation machinery last night in Swed
ish auditorium, where a county con
vention was held with satisfying ora
torical accompaniments. '
Everything went along as smoothly
as the babbling brook of poesy until
Chairman Moriarty proposed that
James C. Dahlman should be named
chairman of the Douglas county del
egation to the state convention at
Hastings on next Tuesday. During
the evening R. L. MeUalfe, candidate
for United States senatorial nomina
tion, and other speakers, had voiced
expressions of praise at the sight of
an ' olive branch hanging over the
"Jacks" and the "Jims." They re
garded this as a happy augury for
democracy. .
Murray Protests.
The name of Dahlman for chair
man of the delegation, to be fco named
"by the convention brought Murray to
his feet with an objection to the for
mer mayor. He insisted that Mayor
mith could more properly wear the
lionor.
I. J. Dunn followed with this ob
jection: "Thisy body has neither the
practice, privilege nor the power to
select the head of the delegation.
-That action belongs to the delegation.
Indorsements made' by this conven
tion of members of the state central
'ii it i t. . : .J : nA
may be changed by the delegation at
the cenvention. We should have re
gard for decency and not try to
put through hand-picked representa
tives. The delegates will hold a cau
cus at Hastings and select their own
chairman."
Mullen With "Jims."
Arthur Mullen, national committee
man, said that the convention repre
sented democracy and had the pow
er to name a chairman of the dele
gation. He leaned toward the "Jims,"
and stood up with that faction on a
rising vote. The first vote was de
clared in favor of the "Jims" bp the
chair, but a second vote resulted in
at least a temporary victory for the
"Jacks," when the chair announced
that the convention would not name
the chairman of the delegation.
The scrap will be taken to Hastings
and as to the result none can tell.
The delegation is supposed to have
been made up on a 50-50 basis of
"Jacks" and "Jims." There was r.o
protest from either side on the per
sonnel of the delegation.
Balks at Hitchcock.
Tohn Fitz Roberts vated against the
resolutions on the grounds that he
could not endorse Senator Hitchcock
whom he did not regard as 100 per
cent American. The resolutions
pledged Douglas county democracy
to support President Wilson in the
prosecution of the war.
The real feature of the convention
was a stirring address by R. L; Met
calfe, who flayed an Omaha German
language newspapers and the Non
partisan league.
Scores German Papers.
. "You cannot do your duty if you
'close your eyes to that Germanlan
guage paper published here in, Oma
ha," he said, "I make no apology in
branding this publication as one ofthe
most insolent organs of Prussianism
in America. There are not 12 Ger-
tnan-larKrnaor Tianfre in tlii ronntrv
... u. o o " t J ' - J
that are true to the United States.
The only way to deal with them is
to wipe them out. They fill their
columns with insidious poison. The
German language is of- no use nor
service in America in this crisis. The
editor of the Omaha Tribune for 15
or 20 years has had more influence
in the democratic nartv than anv 50
men within the hearing of my voice.
"We must not be afraid to stand up
and brand .treason.
"The Nonpartisan league is an or
ganization of graft, drawing many of
its members from those of German
blood. I repeat what I have said be
fore, that it is bad for men of Ger
man blood to join any organization
in large numbers. We should see that
our melting pot melts and that there
shall be o clinkers."
Others Make Talks.
Arthur Mullen and Attorney Gen
eral Reed addressed the convention.
Congressman Lobeck and other
candidates spoke.
The convention adopted the plan
offered by the special committee, to
limit the members of the new county
central committee of 17, being four
executive officers, one committeeman
from each of the Omaha wards and
one for the county at large. The new
county committee was named as fol
lows: Chairman Lee Huff; vice chairman,
W. A. Schall; secretary, C. F. Hossie;
treasurer, J. H. Mithen; T. J. O'Con
nor, Dr. S. R. Patten, James Daugh
ton. Lloyd Magney. W P. Lynch. E.
D. O'Sullivan, William Roderick,
rGeorge Kleffner, John P. Gentleman,
F L. Weaver, Edward McArdle, J.
A. Linahan and A. D. Compton. The
ward and county committeemen will
name precinct assistants for their
subdivisions
Lee Huff, J. C. Dahlman, E. P.
Smith, Paul Skinner and Arthur Mul
len were recommended as Douglas
county members of the state com
mittee.

How Charming and Smart They Are
The New Early Fall Frocks
It's a joy to look at them they are so fascinating
in their conception. And it's a double joy to be able to
view them thus early in the season more especially
when our display is the most complete we have ever
shown at this time of the year.
Foremost in popularity are Satins, Tricolette and
Georgette, in dressier gowns; and for the tailored
wear Tricotines, Gabardines, Serges and Wool Jerseys.
The new narrow lines, coat effects and Moyen age types are
prominent and the loosely girdled idea comes to the fore.
Extensive use of braiding, deep fringe trimming ,
and touches of Oriental embroideries enhance the
beauty of the simple but extremely charming gowns.
New shades of Navy, Libert u Blues, Congo, Beaver,
Platinum, Wistaria, Dark Copenhagen and Black.
