Tbo promoters of the Arlon are not con nected wlih other event of like na ture, and are devoting their energies to the complete sucoess of the enter prise, which will be a fixture In Omaha amusements In years to come. Tickets are meeting with a ready sale and a large attendance Is aured. l'ROTED AS ASTI-A. P. A. TICKET. The k'nmpf Gaag, SUr and fterld Sewxpaprr. The Star and World, two antl-A. P. A. papers, are making broad assertions for the Kumpf gang antl-A. P. A. ticket. The Star is a paper which advocate corporations for the same purpose an attorney would, and the World Is a purely gang sheet It sold out to the gang at the previous election and now comes out on the gang ticket again. It is demonstrated by these papers that the Kumpf ticket Is purely a gang measure to defeat any American who may appear on any ticket for election. The sole object in placing the Kumpf ticket in the field is to oust every man who has the slightest appearance of Americanism and to put the gang and Roman Catholics in offloe. The follow ing assertions appeared in the World In support of the Kumpf gang antl-A. P. A. ticket: "The Democrats can at least claim that their ticket was nominated In convention and not in a lodge-room." "It is absolutely certain that if Henry C. Kumpf is elected mayor, his ap pointments will not be dictated by a secret committee of an oath-bound or ganization." "The administration of a mayor de pends to a great extent upon the char acter of his appointments. Mr. Kumpf will be free to select his own appoin tees, uninfluenced by any secret cabal." The Slur, a paper which employs edi tors who close the doors In the faces of ladies of the W. A. P. A. who call at the office to ask that notices be printed, says: The contest In the present city cam paign is not between Democrats and Republicans. It is between the advo cates of business government on the one hand, and those who would use the city offices and the city money to strengthen a bigoted secret political organization on the other." Using plain English, It means that the present campaign Is not between Democrats and Republicans, but Rome and the gang against the Americans. The ticket Is called "Independent" by the Star and Worhl, but It was named in the Democratic convention, which convention was run by such men as Shannon, O'Nell, Stonestreet, O'Flah erty, May, and other. The Journal of Wednesday last gives an excellent record of the compilers of the Kumpf gang antl A. P. A. ticket, as follows: "In order that the publio maybe fully Informed as to who is responsible for the nomination of the mongrel ticket, a list of some of the delegates baa been compiled and their names will be given here'n, together with some of the facts concerning their personal characteris tics and associations. Most of the men named were there as delegates; others were there on proxies and still others were on the floor of the convention working with their friends for the nom ination of Kumpf and others of the can dates. The May gang was very much in evi dence In the Second ward delegation, which voted solidly for Kumpf. Mike Moran, brother of Councilman John Moran, who is under Indictment for ballot-box frauds; and William Buck, bartender in one of the May-Moran saloons, were delegates; George J. Pierce, one of the indicted Second ward election crooks, who is now a deputy under Sheriff John P. O'Neill, was also there working for Kumpf, although not a delegate. He was assisted by Frank King and Ed J. Harris, who have been bartenders for John May and John Moran for years. "Even before the regularly elected Third ward delegates walked out of the convention and the Delegates from that ward who were not electsd , took their places, Sheriff John P. O'Neill, who has some of the men indicted for elec tion frauds upon his pay-roll, was in the convention as one of the leaders of the Kumpf forces. He had a number of as sistants who were repudiated at the Third ward primary. Among them was Frank F. Rozzelle, who was city counselor under Mayor William S. Cowherd, nd who aided materially by his legal opinions In keeping John May in the office of superintendent streets at a time when the Board of Public Works was endeavoring to get rid of him and put William L. Sheppard into the office. Henry Crawford, better known as "Baby" Crawford, was an other of Sheriff O'Neill's lieutenants from the Third ward. It is admitted by members of the gang that he occu pied the office of city auditor for two years by reason of the frauds committed at the polls. The men who make this admission have said that his opponent, John G. Bishop, was elected by over 1,500 majority. Crawford is now a dep uty under Henry M. Stonestreet, who is holding a stolen office that of circuit clerk. "County Surveyor Frank J. O'Flah erty, who had George J. Pierce lnhls employ for a time after Pierce's Indict ment, was the leader of the Kumpf contingent from the Fourth ward. He was ably aoslsted by his brother Ed O'Flaberty, who was sidewalk inspec tor when Kumpf was mayor. ' Conplcuo"s In the Fifth wsrd dele gation as corkers for Kumpf were ex Councilman DeneU Bowes, who was in dieted for Doodling during the Cowherd adminUtrat'on; and Deputy Sheriff W. F. Cartwrlght, who was discharged from the city detective force. 'The leader of the Kumpf forces in the Seventh ward was William C. Scar rltt, who is a bondsman for some of the election manipulators Mingling with the delegates from this ward and urg ing the nomina'ion of Kumpf, was ex Recorder of Voters Charles S. Owsley, who is under Indictment for election crimes. "Circuit Clerk Henry M. Stonestreet, who has taken care of a number of the election crooks by putting them upon his pay-roll, was the most active worker for Kumpf In the Eighth ward delega tion, and when Kumpf was nominated he threw his coat Into the air and shouted at the top of his voice. Jim Shannon and several others of his dep uties were also In the convention work ing for Kumpf. In addition to giving emoloyment to Indicted election crooks, Stonestreet has gone upon their bonds and testified In their behalf at their trials. While upon the stand at Lex ington ha admitted that he contributed to the election crooks' defense fund. Frank G. Graham, who was city clerk under Cowherd; Arthur Chapman, who was at one time an assistant In Re corder Owsley's office; Frank P. Waleh, who has made speeches for every gang ticket nominated during the past five years, and others, were also in the Eighth ward delegation working for Kumpf. "In the Ninth ward delegation Pro bite Judge J. E. Gulnotte, who Is hold ing an office to which he was not elected, was conspicuous as an advocate of the nomination of Kumpf. Some of the other Kumpf people from this ward who were there either as delegates or proxies for delegates, or as workers, John Johnson, well-known lottery and policy man; Joa Shannon, the chief boss of the ward, and his brothers, Frank, Jim and Charley; Caspar M. Welch, Joe Shannon's private detec tive, who wis appointed sergeant-at- arms of the convention; Charles A Millman, who was tried for poisoning an election judge, and whose trial ended by a disagreement of the jurors; Tom Davis, keeper of the notorious "Lucky Number),' saloon, at 1711 Grand avenue. "At the head of the Tenth ward del egation was ex-Mayor William S. Cow herd, who kept John May In the office of superintendent of streets. He was one of the most ardent advocates In the convention of the nomination of Kumf, J. Ray Samuels, who was chief clerk In the office of superintendent of streets under John May, and who Is now a dep uty In the office of the county clem which latter office is held by Thomas T. Crittenden, Jr., and to which he was not elected, was another Kumpf boomer. Cowherd and Samuels were assisted by W. E. Hagan, a deputy in another stolen office, that of clerk of the criminal court Although Crittenden lives outside the city limits, he was In the conten tion working for Kumpt's nomination, and was assisisted by his indicted depu- tlei and other deputies in both the Kansas City and Independence offices." .Kansas' City Amencan.
