II lit MMIp Attention ( o Second Chnlcr
So many of those Interrogated refused t
express a second choice that the returns Ii
that respect were hardly worth tabulating
but in response to the third question , as t >
whether republicans would or would no
vote for Frank E. Moores were ho nominated
1.029 responded In the affirmative. Of th
remainder of the 1,534 responding many re
fused to say whether they would so vet
and the answers of many left the quest lei
In doubt. About 100 of these indicated tha
their voting for or against Moores , it h
were nominated , depends upon the charade
and Identity of the opposition candidate.
The wag and the eccentric manifested hi
characteristics in many of the replies re
celved and some took occasion to air thcl
political spleen Incognito. One of the 10
spondents specified that his first choice fo
mayor to be "myself , " his second choice
"my wife , " and Indicated that he "possibly'
might rote for Moores if nominated. An
other specified as his first and second choic
"any good , clean , honorable citizen who 1m
a good business experience. " Another sal
tlat his flrnt choice was "a clean , etraigh
republican for whom no excuses have to !
made , " and to the question in relation ti
his voting for Moores , "not it a better mai
orposes him. " One emphatic indlvldua
wrote "No" seven times after the thin
question , giving to each negative a iloubl
underscoring ,
Variety of Iti-pllrx.
"I have heard no names mentioned for th
position , " wrote one , "that I think epeciall :
desirable. Think Frank Kennard would b
the best man If not tied to Broatch. Moore
is not au ideal mayor. It will depend 01
the man with me. " In response to ques
tlon No. 3 ho replied : "Yes , but If such i
man aa Judge Doano runs against him
might vote for him. "
Another wrote that ho would vote fo
Moores , but did not "believe It wise ti
nominate him. " In answer to question No
1 one man responded : "Any clean buslnefi
man not a politician , " and in response to th
third question , "Too pointed a question. '
One gave his first and second choice as "i
good , iioneHt , American citizen , " and dc
dared that the third question Is "None o
your business. "
A conservative answer to the first qiiestloi
was "An entirely now man , " and to th' '
third , "Yes , for the good of the party. "
"I am a republican on state and natlona
Issues and tickets , " natd one , "but thor
oughly disgusted with all politics In Omaha
May not vote at all. "
One was expressed his firnt choice for f !
O. Iroy. the absent member of the Board o
Education , and three of them picked out A
M. Cowlo as their Ideal. One eplcnetic In
dividual declared his first choice to be fo
"any old thing , " his uecond Cadet Taylor-
nnythlns "fornlnst The Bee , " and answeret
the third question by "When election da ;
comes. " Another bilious freeman declare !
that he would not vote for Moores If Thi
Hco supports him.
KPW of the cards bore' signatures , bu
1'cetmaster Joseph Crow attached his slgna
ture in saying that his first choice Is "nn ;
good republican who can be elected , " am
answered the third question by saying , "
always have and will vote for the republlcai
nominee. "
John S. Wood writes : "Hon. Kdwan
Uosewater Thanks for what you have doni
for deserving veterans. Omaha Bee : Thl
Is my anBwer A union veteran of the Buck

The fpaturo of the meet Ing of the Hoard
of County Commissioners yesterday \\ai
the. approval of 'the ' $10,000 bond of S. U ,
Letosky , who occupies a doputyshlp In the
ofllco of Sheriff I'owcr. Lctosky Is also one
of the assessors for South Omaha ntul since
his apixilnttnent as deputy sheriff ho Is
holding two county positions and his name
appears twice on the pay rolls.
When Lelosky'a bond ns deputy sheriff
was presented for approval rommlssloni're
Ofttrom and Harto made speeches In opposi
tion. They expressed the belief that they
cannot legally accept Lctosky's bond as
deputy sheriff whllo ho Is simultaneously
filling the office of assessor. Chairman
Ilofeldt of the popocratlo majority studied
n moment bcforo ho voted on the proposi
tion , remarking that ho was not quite cer
tain as to the legality of such procedure.
Hut a brief and pointed speech from Com
missioner Hoclor evidently convinced the
chairman and ho said : "Well , 1 am Rolnp
to vote In favor of accepting the bond. '
The substance of Sir. Hector's remarks
was that ho believed the sheriff had the
right to appoint whomsoever he pleased it :
a dcputyshlp and that as thcro was no ques
tion ns to the quality of the bond he would
vote In favor of accepting It. The repub
lican members did not assail the band , for
It Is admittedly good , being signed by 11
well known bond company , but they tilt !
question the legality of carrying a count }
employe on the pay roll In two places
When a vote was taken It was cast strictly
along jiarty lines and the bond was ap
proved. Letosky Is bookkeeper In the
sheriff's olllcc.

INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. , Jan. 30. The Jolnl
conference of coal operators and miners to
day resumed the discussion of the twc
propositions submitted yesterday afternoon ,
The miners distributed printed copies of the
Hldgley bill a measure Introduced in con-
grcts by Congressman Hldgloy of the Third
Kansas district and Intended to regulate the
proceedings In contempt cases before the
federal courts. The bill provides for trial
by jury In all cases of Indirect contempt.
President Mitchell , for the minors , was
the first speaker. He complimented Opera
tor Chapman of Ohio on his argument yes
terday on the "national defense fund. "
"I think , " said Mitchell , "tho operators
had better hold a conference among them
selves and agree to give us a scale. I do
not think we can make any progress by
arguments on this floor. "
J. S. Morton , president of the Sunday
Creek Coul company of Columnim , O. , fol
lowed Mitchell. Ho took issue with
Mitchell on the average earnings of minors ,
saying that the last year would show many
advantages to the men. Morton declared
that Ohio operators will not pay advances
on run-of-mino basis.
