This means more spec Peolpe of Omaha Have Right To Vote The people of Omaha are entitled to vote on the question of whether or not they wish the Nebraska Power Company and its present electric service turned over to municipal ownership. As the situation now stands, under the provisions of L. B. 204, the people dfo not have the right to vote on this question if Omaha’s electric service were taken over by condemnation pro ceedings. Unintentionally, no doubt—the people of Omaha have been deprived of their right to vote on this important question— a right that has been carefully guarded for many years by Omaha’s cherished home rule charter. In order to restore to the people of Omaha their full voting rights, the Omaha on Guard Committee is now circulating peti tions. When a sufficient number of signatures have been secur ed to these petitions, either the City Commission will pass an ordinance giving the people full voting rights TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES as to the type of electric service they want, or the City Commission may refer this question to a v'ote of the people. When a petition is presented to you, we hope you will sign it, and also help in getting other signers. PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE ON THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION. Omaha On Guard Committee FRANK C.
