Nov , 10 The Rnti-Fake Club.lleo. . e o e o The Advertising Men's Club of Omaha had another meeting1 last week and it's members decided they were tired of playing to empty houses and wanted a sqmrc meal for a change. That was bufoie election. Last evening such of them as had bet on McKinlcy got to gether in a back room at the Millard and made speeches and things , while those who had bet on the Boy Orator had to be content with licking1 their chops as they read the account of the banquet in the papers next diy. This club was organized lor the purpose of getting it's name in the papers once n month or so and giving it's membjts a chance to keep in practice while waiting for better times. When not engaged in speech-making- binqueting each member is supposed to stand at the city gates and keep out fakes of every description seas as to protect the merchants and give the fakirs on the ins de a chance to wax good and fat. We would respectfully suggest to the Advertising Men's Club of Omaha that each of it's members array himself in one of our Champion Irish Fnc/.e Ulsters at $10.00 and ascertain why other stores are advertising the self-same garment at $14.95 , marked down from $19,98. Or.il the constitution and by-laws will permit , \\e would like to have the members assemble in a body and pass judgment on the merits of the Men's Suits we are sell ing at $10 oo , and if not equal to any advertised by the fakirs at $16.24 , we \\iil agree to furnish a banquet at which all of tlu members may feel free to attend. What docs the club say ? Here's a chance to get after some of the advertising fakes. official count In the Sixth concrcfalonal dis trict of California gives llnrlou. populist , a niajorltj of GYT over McLirhlun , republican Si'iiulor I'liliiu-r N SitiNlli'il.
