Tl.e 'Tuned Citi7-.iis" party of
Flat!.-muth v. as launched on the
P-..'.:: val .-trt-;i-. evening at the
mass convention held at the district
court room and the new party carries
with, it a strong and forceful city
ticket that wa- selected by ihe large
and representative gathering f peo
ple of tl." comiiMtr.it y who were
prM .
I.nnu before the time for the as
sembling of the convention the citi
zens began to gather at the scene of
activities ami while there was no
avowed candidates,
ity of the members
w re busy in thtir
he vast major-j
oi the convention I
own minds pick-
ing out the logical man to head the
ticket, as the trr;ttest interest seem
ed to attach to the office of mayor.
Attorney C. A. Rawls. who had
been one of the signers of the call
for the convention, presided over the
meeting and stated the reason for the
gathering as that of a generally ex-
pre--s-d desire
ii'n if) secure

the temporary seere-
tary and the convention was fairly
launched and on the way to do busi
ness. After the temporary organi
zation was made permanent the ques
tion of what the new party was to
be labeled arose and the chairman
called for a iu'!ii- i..,r the political
infam.
Jos. 11. McMaken suggested that
the party be designated as the Citi
zens party of Flat tsmouth. to which
an amendment was moved by M. S.
Briirgs to make jt the 'Tnited Citi
zens party of Plattsmouth" and this
was carried by a unanimous vote
and the new party formally
placed i
m the running.
TL" discussion of the manner of
picking the candidate for mayor led
to the adoption of a motion to take
an informal ballot for the nomination
of a candidate and this led to tiie
necessity of the chair appointing
f iitrs to handle the vote and T. M.
Patterson. Emmons Ftak. L. L. Mc
Carthy and M. S.-Friggs were desig
nated to act in that capacity ami be
fore the nominations were made the
tellers had a good working out.
The first ballot showed a large vote
with Mayor Schneider receiving 63
and Mr. Rawls 49 and a large scat
tering vote among other of the well
known men of the city. No one re
ceiving a majority, a new ballot was
ordered by the chairman. Mr. Rawls
also stated tluit he would not accept
the nomination and urged that the
delegates cast their votes for some
one else as they were wasting time
in voting for him for the office. Mr.
Schneider also urged his friends to
omit his name from their ballots as
he felt he was entitled to a rest from
the duties of the office which he has
filled for the past three years.
The second ballot was lost as the
old votes were mixed in the con
fusion with the new ones and it was
necessary to throw away the ballot
and order the tellers to take another.
This third one proved fruitless, how
ever, as the friends of Mr. Schneider
and Mr. Rawls continued to vote for
them, while C. A. Johnson began to
develop strength as a candidate.
The fourth ballot gave the nomi
nation to Mr. Johnson of the fourth
ward as the candidate for major, the
final result of this ballot being John
son, 101. Schneider, 46, Guy Morgan,
2". and a small scattering vote for
different candidates.
CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR
Clerk, C. E. Hartford for City
Marshall and Mrs. S. S.
Board of Education.
j Before the result was definitely an
TICKETj nounced Mayor Schneider moved that
the choice of Mr. Johnson he made a
, unanimous one, incidentally paying
tribute to the successful nominee's
' faithful service as a member of the
: city council during a part of Mr.
; Schneider's administration.
The new nominee of the citizens
; was called for and received quite an
. ova'ion from the convention as he
' pledged his efforts to give the city
the best services he could possibly
, render and asked for the co-opera
tion 01 the community in his work if
he is selected to preside over the
city.
The difficulty of securing a nomi
nation through the means of an in
formal ballot led ( hairman Rawls to
suggest that the nominations be
ward i made from the floor of the conven
ward tion and a formal ballot for nomina
tion then he made and this was
I adopted as the best method of seleet-
ing the other candidates for positions
on the ticket.
For the office of city clerk the
names ot Aubrey Duxbury and li. A.
MeKlwain. the present incumbent,
were presented to the meeting and
the result of the ballot was the nam
ing of Mr. Duxbury as the candidate
by a vote of 120 to 40.
For the office of city treasurer, the
name of Charles Hartford was pre
sented, as were also the names of
II. M. Soennichsen and H. F. Goos.
The result of the ballot was that
Mr. Hartford received S4 votes. Mr.
Soennichsen 41 and Mr. Goos 14.
For members of the board of edu-
cation three names were presented
to the convention. Dr. C. A. Marshall.
Mrs. S. S. Chase and Frank E. Schlat
er and the result of the ballot gave
Marshall 94. Chase 75 and Schlater
74. making the two nominees Dr.
Marshall and Mrs. Chase.
The residents of the various wards
of the city were divided into their
ward caucuses for the purpose of se-
letting nominees for members of the
city council and the result was that
the following were named:
First ward R. F. Patterson.
Second ward James Ptacek.
Third ward Roy "W. Knorr.
Fourth ward John A. Schulhof.
Fifth ward, Frank Sebatka, Jr.
In the ward caucuses there was
not much contest save in the third,
where Roy Knorr won over V. H.
Mason, the present councilman from
that ward by a majority of one. Of
the candidates. Messrs. Ptacek and
Schulhof are the present councilmen
from their respective wards.
The ticket named is one that
promises much for the cause of good
government in the city in the future
and the candidates are men who will
make an earnest and sincere effort toj
serve the best interests of the people
of the community without a doubt
and they will enter their offices free
of any political strings that might
interfere with the full and free dis
charge of their duties.
Mr. C. A. Johnson, the nominee
for mayor, has served the people of
the city for eight years in the city
council and was one of the strong
men of that organization and during
his term of office was vigilant in
watching for the best interests of
the taxpayers of the community. He
has resided here for a great many
years and has been in the employe
of the Burlington and is held in the

sturdy honesty and integrity.
For the office of city clerk the con
vention has named one of the bright
est and most efficient professional
young men of the city in Attorney
Aubrey H. Duxbury. who is excep
tionally well qualified for the posi

city treasurer, is one of the active
business men of the community and
one who will make a splendid official
for the city as he has had a long ex
perience in the lines of book work
and business affairs that will make
him a worthy successor of the pres
ent city treasurer. Mr. H. M. Soen
nichsen. who is retiring after having
served some eight years in that ca
pacity. For the board of education there
is nothing that need be Baid of Dr.
C. A. Marshall as he has served on
the board in a most efficient manner
for a long period of years and is at
the present time president of that
body. Mrs. Chase, the new nominee,
lady well qualified for the office!
and one who will have the nest in
terests of the public school system
at heart.
In the first ward Mr. Patterson,
the nominee for councilman, is one
of the best qualified men for the of
fice in the city, as he has served for
eight years in the council, and was
during his time of service chairman
of the finance committee of the coun
cil and made a splendid record there.
I Mr. James Ptacek. who is a candi
date for re-election in the second
ward is the present chairman of the
streets, alleys and bridges committee
and president of the council, and is
one of the big men of the city legis
lative body, and his return to office
will bring much pleasure to the
residents of his ward.
Mr. Roy W. Knorr, the candidate
in the third ward, is one of the ac
tive young business men of the city,
whose nomination, will bring a very
efficient citizen to the city's service
in the legislative body.
In the fourth ward the re-nomination
of Mr. Schulhof shows good
judgment on the part of the resi
dents of that ward and if elected to
the office Mr. Schulhof may be de

city.

Purlin gton shops and has been active
in the labor circles of the city.
Taken as a whole the new party (
has nominated an excellent fusion !
ticket on which is represented all .
classes of citizens and which should
meet with general approval of both
political parties which have hereto
fore had tickets in the field.
MEN PROVE TO BE
ADEPT AT SERVING
Demonstrated Skill Last Evening by
Acting as Hosts to the Ladies
Who Enjoyed the Feed.
From Thursday's Pally.
For the past six weeks the mem
bers of the congregation of the First
Presbyterian church have been en
joying a weekly mission study class
and on each Wednesday evening
there has been served at the church
a supper to the members present.
These pleasant feasts have been pre
pared by the ladies of the church
and have been much appreciated by
the congregation.
With the approach of Easter the
study sessions have drawn to a cloe
and the ladies decided that it would
be no more than fair that the men
of the church show their metal in
the way of preparing a supper and
accordingly hurled a bomb, figura
tively speaking into the ranks of the
men a few weeks ago by announcing
that on the night of Wednesday,
March 23, the men would be called
upon to provide the feast.
A hurried conference of the men
was held and it was decided to ac
cept ihe challenge and a search of
the members revealed the fact that
they possessed a real chef in the per
son of Fred Wagner, proprietor of
the Hotel Wagner and he" was ac
cordingly given the main job of pre
paring the supper and from all re
ports of the gathering last even
ing the men more than covered them
selves with glory as entertainers.
Mr. Wagner had the direct work
of preparing the supper and it was
"some feed" everyone concedes. As
assistants to the chief chef, J. K.
Pollock. C. A. Rawls, G. L. Farley
and J. W. Marquette were on the job
and the boys had the good things to
eat on hand last evening at 6: HO for
the enjoyment of the ladies as well
as themselves. In the dining room.
J. W. Holmes, Rev. McCluskey and
J. W. Tritsch assisted, while Dr. H.
C. Leopold aad D. C. Morgan pre
pared the "Java" for the supper.
The only unfortunate feature of
the affair is the fear entertained by
some of the gentlemen that in re
vealing their skill in the culinary
line and their adaptibility to house
hold work they may secure more of
this passtime in the future.
LADIES AUXILIARY MEET
From Thursday's Daily.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Pres
byterian church, was entertained by

The regular monthly meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce was held
last evening at the auditorium of the
public library and during the session
quite a number of matters of inter
est to the community in general was
taken up and discussed by the mem
bei ship.
At the opening of the session the
president. Mr. J. P. Sattler. read the
resignation of Secretaiy Claude
Smith, and on motion Guy W. Mor
gan w;;s elected to the office and at
once commenced the discharge of t he
office.
President Sat'ler announced the

A. Fricke.
Mr. Sattler al.-o stated that al
though the members of the commit
tee that have been soliciting the
funds for the purchase of the land
belonging to Edward Fitzgerald near
ihe Masonic Home, was not present,
the committee had prac'ically raided
the fuM amount a-ked for. $;?. and
That if would be ready by Friday eve
ning To turn oer to the owner of the
land and the matter closed up.
Mayor H. A. Sehiu-Mer explained
briefiv the situation there and which
the Masonic Home association wishes
to have improved in order to make
the surroundings of the home more
retractive and also the fact that the
grand lodge of the Masons of Nebras
ka will !e here in June and the work
is des-ired To be completed by thai
time.
J II. McMaken offered some ob
jection to the closing of Sixteenth
street for a block as proposed, but
was favorable to other changes that t
might be necessary.
The general sentiment of t he meet
ing seemed to be in favor of the pro
position of doing all that was possi
ble in the way of improving and
Messrs. W. A. Swatek and J. V. Hatt
were both of the opinion that the
changing of the roadway and the
closing of the present road between
the Home and the Fitzgerald proper
ty would tend to better roads.
Mr. Reed was present at the meet
ing and offered the lyceum course
proposition for next year, but no def
inite action was taken at this time
to await further consultation on the
matter of talent and the practibility
of the securing of the needed sup
port for the proposition.
Mayor H. A. Schneider, who has
been one of the boosters for the
lyceum in the past and also one of
the few persons who have taken off
their coat and put in some hard licks
for its success in the years past, re
ported that the last season, while
the talent had been the best ever
shown here, the attendance and sup
port had been the poorest. The li
ceum this season has had a deficiency
of $l;o' which it was necessary for
the patrons of the course to make
good.
There has been no question that
this entertainment in the season of
1920-21 was the best in its way
that has ever been shown here, but
the .seeming indifference of thepub
!ic to the matter has not been very
encouraging to the men who have
labored and stood the cost of the
bringing of the attractions to the
city.
Mr. Schneider also told of the pros
pects of legislation in the way of
free bridhe anil his report was very
pleasing to all of the members pres
ent. GIVES H0USEWARMING

formed that their neighbors and
friends were planning the house
warming and true to their announ
cement the friends arrived at the

dainties and prepared for an evening
of the rarest enjoyment. The- time
was spent in games and music and
a general period of social enjoyment
that lasted until a late hour, when
members of the party wended their
way homeward feeling that the
Spangler home had been given a
thorough "warming."

Dr. A. D. Caldwell. the dentist,
who was operated on Tuesday at the
Nicholas Senn hospital in Onjaha fcr
appendicitis, is dot.- reported as do

Getting Back to Normal !
That we are rapidly getting back to nor
mal is clearly seen in recent Federal Reserve
figures.
Last October the Tenth Federal Reserve
Bank at Kansas City, to accommodate its
member banks, had borrowed more than $44,
000,000. By January 28 this debt had been
entirely wiped out.
This is most encouraging, and thanks to
the operation of the Federal Reserve System
in acting as our great financial shock absorb
er, we shall soon be on the up grade.
