W. W. CARMICHAEL
Wherever people cangTegate, and
whenever people meet te talk about
candidate* for the city commission
race, then, do people’s hopes and
thought* turn to men like W. W. Car.
michael, to lead them out of this storm
and stress period.
It sewm* that wherever you go, peo
ple torn to inquire about “this man
Carmichael”, who seems to have cap.
lured the hopes and expirations of the
eiUxens of Omaha. There aren’t
very many people in Omaha that do
aot know about the ability, the loyal,
ty. and the activity of W. W. Car
michael, but even those few are as
tonished by the assurance of his hosts
ef friends and well, wishers, that there
could net be another man, more pub.
Re spirited, more energetic, and more
desirous ef cleaning the city of politi
cal chicanery, and machine politics.
Mr Gannichael, has for a long time
been known as a sound, constructive,
and far.seeing business man and exec,
stive, a* evidenced by his 30 years
association with the C. N. Dietz Lum
ber Company, which for the last three
years, he has operated under his own
name. But his activities have not
been confined to business alone. The
diversification of his activities shows
the strength of character of this man.
During the past eight years, W. W.
Carmichael, has held the important
office of President of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce. He was a
member of the Board of Education,
holding the position as Chairman of
the Finance committee, and under his
leadership and direction the present
“healthy financial” standing, has
come about.
He has been the President of the
Rotary Club of Omaha; He was the
Exalted Ruler of Omaha Lodge B. P.
O. Elks No. 39; He has held the of
fice of Illustrious Potentate of the
Tangier Temple; and he has still found
time to serve as Vice-President of the
Family Welfare Association.
Can anyone, or dare anyone deny,
that Mr. Carmichael, has served this
community, without stint, or without
view to time expended, without a
thought of renumeration. Mr. Car
michael daring all these years, has
labored in the attempt, to have the
city move constructively forward, in
all lines, and it is at this time, at this
crisis, one might say, when people
are looking for leaders with sound
vision, that W. W. Carmichael, an
swers the call to step in, and do his
•hare once more.

RICHARD W. JEPSEN
A son of one of Omaha’s pioneer
families, and a member of one of the
oldest business concerns, ia the his
tory of this city, Richard W. Jepsen,
has for a long time been known as an
industrious, capable and civic-minded
citizen of this community. Having
been born on the site on which the
Jepsen Bros, retail grocery now stands
in 1892, Richard Jepsen, now com
mands an important position, in the
eyes of successful business men.
Working hard at all times, for the
last 21 years, in the grocery and meat
market, founded by his father in 1886,
Ur. Jepsen, has won and earned the
commendations not only of those peo
ple who are his direct competitors,
but of men and women in various oth.
er lines oi enaeavor.
In 1927, his associates, showing
their faith in him, elected him presi
dent of the Omaha Retail Grocers As
sociation. As a result of his efforts,
Mr. Jepsen was greeted with the larg
est convention ever held here by the
national body of the Retail Grocers
Association, when 3400 visitors were
entertained. He is at present one of

Having been born and raised in
Omaha, he knows its problems and is
I ready to meet them with that same
ability, and industry that he is known
for in the grocery business. Although
he was unknown politically in 1930,
his business associates and friends,
had so much confidence in him, that he
was nominated in the primaries, and
between the primaries and election
day. he made the largest individual
gain in votes of any of the “out”
candidates.

Commissioner John Hopkins needs
no introduction to the people of Om

well for the last twelve years, that he
has been a commissioner. He has had
charge of the fire, finance and police
I departments during this time, and his
management of these departments,
compares favorably with that of his
predecessors in office, or these that
followed him.
Mr. Hopkins is a man of strong de

Omaha for twenty years, and he has
been a citizen of Omaha and Nebras.

ROY N, iOWL
A test of the abilityr honesty and
good faith of a public official, is prov
en by the amount of confidence placed
in that man, and today Roy N. Towl,
stands vindicated as the most able,
honest and faithful, of all our public
servants.
Today the people of Omaha know,
that there is not another man, who
has fought for their rights, against
the enslaving of them by political
gangs, and low politicians. Roy Towl
has always been a fighter, and will
continue fighting as the friend of the
people of this city.
He has always been willing to co
operate, but has met with only few
attempts to meet him half-way. As
a nationally known engineer, Mr.
Towl has Deen willing wj oner nia am
to those city departments, which can
well use expert advice. As the trend
of the times is to put men in office of
business and technical experience, the
answer to the people’s call for exact
ness and analysis in the administra
tion of the affairs of the city, lies in
the re-election of Roy Towl.
The present fire commissioner is
well-known throughout the country,
as a capable man, and has held many
offices in national engineering organi
zations. He received his early train
ing at the Armour Institute of Tech
nology in Chicago, and came back to
private practice here in 1904.
Mr. Towl has been a member of the
American Society of Civil Engineers,
the foremost society in this field, for
the last 20 years, and at present he is
the Vice-President of the Nebr. Sec
tion of this organization. He was
elected President of the National
Drainage Congress in 1927, and has
been connected with the Omaha Cham
ber of Commerce, the Engineers and
Inter-Professional Clubs, and for a
long time, has been a member of the
Masons, the Elks, and the Shriners.
Among some of his achievements in
the engimeering line are:
As Commissioner of Public Im
provements from 1918 to 1921, Dodge
Street hill was graded down twenty
three feet; and the St. Mary’s im
provement was made.
In drainage and reclamation, as
well as river improvement, he has had
thirty organized districts in Nebraska
and that many more in other states.
On the Missouri River, he has been
employed as consulting engineer on
thirty-five projects from St. Louis to
Yankton, S. D.
Special investigations in 1929 in
Guatamela and Honduras on the be
havior and control of tropical streams
were made for the United Fruit Co.
by the use of planes where the jungles
were impenetrable and cover an area
formerly occupied by the Maya In
dians, the ruins of which civilization
were discovered by Colonel Lindberg
in Yucatan.
Investigations in Southern Cali
fornia and Mexico have been made in
the lower Colorado River. Reports
were filed on the navigation of the
ship channel from Galveston to Hus
:on, Texas.

One of the rarest curios in the mu

Ind., is this unique paperweight which
was In use on the desk of President
Lincoln at the time of his assassina

Dr. S. Neumann, veterinary surgeon
general of the Army of the Potomac,
by Major Stackpole, steward of the
White House at the time of the Presi

the widow of Doctor Neumann. Its
most recent owner. President Arthur

HARRY TRUSTIN -
Harry Trustin has thrown himself
so wholeheartedly into professional
and social welfare work, for the last
20 years, that his friends, in all walks
of life, have drafted him, as a com
posite of all things that are desirable
in the present-day public official.
Recognized ag a leader and execu
tive, in the fields of engineering and
contracting, by the railroads, by the
American Legion, and by numerous
social welfare organizations, Mr.
Trustin’s strength lies in the fact,
that he has not only an appeal to the
class, but also to that vast mass of
voters of Omaha.
For the last ten years, Mr. Trustin
has devoted himself unsparingly,
without any renumeration to the cause
of the disabled veteran, in his capacity
as chairman of the Rehabilitation
committee, which investigates and
presses the claims, of those unfortu
nate members, a reminder of the fal
len in the World War. He is known
far and wide in the national member
ship of the American Legion, being a
past commander of Omaha Post No. 1.
Mr. Trustin, has also been given
that high honor, reserved only for a
few, of being made a member of the
Court of Honor, that group of twelve
leaders in Omaha, who guide and in
spire the youth in this vicinity, in
the Boy Scout movement.
There has not been a time, in the
36 years that Harry Trustin has re
sided in Omaha, that he has not re-]
sponded with full force to the “call to'
arms” to aid the distressed. He
served very faithfully on the Red
Cross Board, in times of distress, and
under Dr. Stokes, he served com.
mendably on the Nebraska depart
ment of the Tubercular society.
Mr. Trustin was raised and attend
ed the public schools in Omaha, and
served his apprenticeship at the Un
ion Pacific, and is a graduate of Rail
road Bureau of Education and Engi
neering.

ARTHUR A. WESTERGARD
4 IMPORTANT REASONS WHY
ARTHUR A. WESTERGARD
SHOULD BE ELECTED
COMMISSIONER
1. Westergard Fought For Lower
Taxes.
Everyone acquainted with the City
Government knows of his record to
lower taxes. “The cost of Government
must never exceed the ability of the
people to pay” has ever been his cry
Through his effort, primarily, no in.
crease was made in the mill levy last
August, which would have offset the
15% tax reduction.
2. Westergard Saved Our Citizens
$1,125,*6$.
Arthur A. Westergard’s program of
rehabilitating the Fire Department
when he was Fire Commissioner
brought about the saving of approxi.
mately $1,126,000 to the citizens of
Omaha, over the last three years.
This was the result of lower fire in
surance rates made possible by his
work as head of the Fire Department
This saving should continue at the
rate of approximately $375,000 each
year.
3. Westergard Championed the Anti.
Fireworks Ordinance.
Parents certainly appreciate the
valient efforts of Arthur A. Wester
gard in sponsoring and fighting for
the passage of the ordinance prohibi
ting the sale and use of fireworks
within the City. Many a child has
been save from death and painful in
jury as a result of this sensible and
humanitarian measure.
4. Westergard Labored To Balance
The Budget.
Our newspapers have reported
Arthur A. Westergard’s daily efforts
to Balance the Budget and put the
City Government on a Cash Basis. His
fight saved the taxpayers several
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Continue Such Efficiency and
Devotion to Duty.

O-O
BLAINE YOUNG
The people are beco-miw? rapidly
aware, that candidates for public of
fice, should have as a pre-requisite, as
little entangling alliance with politi
cal machines as possible. With this
as a “starter", ability, industry, and
foresigh ted ness, are other character
istics, which should mark our candi
dates, and as the voters scan the list
of nominees, they must certainly se
lect Blaine Young, as the man, who
has all the foregoing desirable qual
ities.
Mr. Young, candidate for city com
missioner at the coming election, and
who is a prominent insurance man
here, is also a splendid example of
Omaha’s self-made business men.
Coming to Omaha, when only a very
small child, and fatherless, he has
made his way up through the busi
ness world until at present he is the
president of his own concern, the
Blaine Young Insurance Co., and gen
eral agent for several large Insurance
agencies. Mr. Young has been en
gaged in the insurance line for the
past seventeen years.
He has resided in Omaha for the
past 31 years, and during that time,
he has been a member of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, the Ad-Sell
club, and for a good many years, of
the Omaha Athletic club. It has been
his claim, that he has never mixed in
politics, or been connected with poli
ticians, and he is of the same opinion,
&s the wide majority of people, to
“clean the City Hall of politicians.”
Although Blaine Young has worked
hard at his profession, for a good
many years, he has still had time to
win a place for himself, in Nebraska
golf annals. He is of the same gen
eral opinion, as are many of our golf
ing executives, that you can learn
more about a man, by playing a round
of golf with him, then you can, by con
versing with him in your office, for
the same amount of time. Twice
state champion, he is always a con
tender for that honor. For the past
ten years, he has been Secretary
Treasurer of the Trans-Mississippi
Golf Association.
