DISCONCERTS THE DEMOCRATS
The Find Their Own Ranks Split and
Republican Gaining.
MORGAN SUITS THE BUSINESS MEN
Irrespective of Party the Mercantile
and Professional Interests Favor
film Hallroad Workmen Also
Work for Ills.
"Dell O. Morgan 1 a stronger candidate
today than the day be waa Dominated for
mayor by the republican city convention,
and hi election la a sure a anything In
politic can be," waa the remark of a
well known business man yesterday. This
remark show the way the wind I blowing
In the municipal campaign which will be
brought to a close next Monday at the poll.
Dell Morgan, who head the republican
ticket, has been gaining strength dally and
it Is now certain that he will have the sup
port of the business men of the city Irre
spective of party affiliations.
Mr. Morgan' record as a successful busi
ness msn a citizen who has earned the
respect of all assures the city, in the event
of his election, a clean, capable, businesslike
administration of the affairs of the muni
cipality and this is what the business men
of the city desire.
In accepting the nomination after It had
been declined by Mr. Hannan, Mr. Morgan
did so at the earnest solicitation of many
of the most prominent and Influential busi
ness and professional men of the city. While
he baa not made any ostentatious campaign
since hla nomination, he has not been Idle,
and bl friends have rallied loyally to bis
support with the result that not only Is
bis election almost a foregone conclusion,
but everything Indicates a decided rcpub
Ican victory at the polls Monday.
Hallroad Men Inlsg to Morgan.
The railroad men, and their vote Is a
power in Council Bluffs, have come out for
for Mr. Morgan almost to a man, and with
their support, bis friend say he cannot
be possibly defeated. Mr. Morgan's record
while a member and president of the
Board of Education entitles him to the sup
port of organized labor, and It 1 said he
will receive It. The rapid gains Mr. Mor
gan ha made within the last few day have
completely disconcerted the democrats, who
realizing the spilt In their own ranks, have
lost the confidence they displayed when It
became known Mr. Hannan was unable to
accept the nomination for mayor.
The prospect for a complete republican
administration In city affair for the next
two year were never brighter than now.
The business men realize that It I not to
the best Interests of the community to have
a democratic mayor and a republican city
council. The election of a republican mayor
will place the police department under the
control of the republicans, the same as
the fire department, and for thla as well
a for other reason, many of the buslnes
men of the city will support Mr. Morgan.
