e
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 do 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 Orriaha 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 Vote 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.

Gov. Kelly also received a report
from Dr. C. F. Ramsey, director,
state department of public wrelfare,
on interviews and pyschologic-al
studies made of 340 persons arrest
ed.
Of the persons interviewed Ram
sey said none were recent migrants
to the city and 74 percent have liv
ed here for five years or more.
Most of them held jobs with more
than two thirds in war plants with
an average weekly wage of $54.
Almost 40 percent of the prison
ers had high school educations and
45 percent were married, the report,
stated. About 25 percent were il
literate and 13 percent displayed
emotional qualities or psychopat
hic tendencies. Eighteen percent
had been rejected for military ser
vice.
“The interviewed men,” said r>r.
Ramsey, “were not the instigators,
nor did they seem to have any pre
vious knowledge of planned action,
but became involved mainly out of
their individual reaction to the sit
uation.”
Meanwhile three Negroes ac«?us
ed in the Dowling report with
spreading inflammatory rumors are
either being held by police for trial
or are under sentence. They are
Aaron Fox, 17, and Charles Lyons,
20, charged with the actual starting
of the riot, “because they wanted
to even the score for being ejected
from Eastwood park five days be
fore by a group of white youths.’’
