MrKrnna's hall, at the corner of Sherman I

capacity Tuesday night to hear an address by
Edward Rosowater on municipal question.
Mr. Rosewater apoke for over an hour and
wn frequently Interrupted by applause.

Crawford, who la after the eouncllirianlc
nomination for the Fifth ward, mad brief
remarks. W. B. Cbrtatle presided at the
meeting.
Mr. Rnsewater apoke as follows:
"Under our system of government public
ity Is the moat essentia', safeguard of free
dom and free Institutions. The founders
of our republic discussed all the problems
of self-government In town meetings. Every
measure of reform for the betterment of
the conditio! of the people was freely and
fully debated In the often. Whenever any
body proposes to save the people from some
real or Imaginary ill or abuse by secret po
litical organization you may reat assured
that the movers have something to cover
up or some aelftsh scheme up their sleeve.
"About thirty years ago a lot of broken
down politicises, who had lost their grip
In the republican and democratic parties,
banded themselves together for the oaten
rlble purpose of purifying politics and re
deeming Omaha from perdition. The co
operators, or ko-ops, of 1873 were then
commonly known as the "Gopher Klan."
They met In the hours when graveyards
yawn and spooks make merry, and held In
tercourse by alga, grip and password. They
flourished for a time, but Just as soon as
their " lesders ere uncovered and their
scheme, for dtstrlbutlug political spoils
made public, they went to pieces and dis
appeared as spooks usually do at sunrise.
There Is nothing w under the sun. Tho
dark lantern movement which has recently
been Inaugurated In this city differs in no
respect from that of the defunct 'ko-ops' or
Gopher Klan.
Political Tina; Line; Feoi.
"The leading (spirits of 1903 are Imbued
with the same patriotic desire to save
Omaha and get themselves Into office as
the political spirit mediums of tilrty years
ago. Like tho professional sleight-of-hand
performer, they want to shroud their move
ments In mystery. Now you see It and now
you don't. You doubtless remember the

geese on tba stage. That Is the way Ting
Lliig Poo Broatch and Jung Ling John
Vestberg, ar.d Blng Ling Burban't are try
lng to make geese of you all. Many -of
you, doubtless, have been handed a type
written circular with the Injunction to
keep it dark.' Here Is one of the Gopher
pledges for the-Sixth ward. The closing
sentence reads as follows: 'Whether or
' not I am accepted to membership In this
committee, I hereby pledge myself to keep
the Identity, work and membership In said
committee "a profound secret" and will at
11 times be governed by the action of
majority of said committee. I further pledge
'- myself to do all, In. roy power honestly and
.falrlv tn mtit an inlLmtptilna nlAoallnn
to the next . city convention to be held
April 11, 190S." Now. why this profound
secrecy T Is there sny reason why the
problems of municipal government cannot
be discussed In the open? Why should any
a . iu v; a ivii a, v.ivi'1 uiuu MS movi a V W aV
governed at all times by the action of a
dark-lantern committee whose Identity
he does not even know? Why should any
' self-respecting republican sign away his
sacred right to exercise his privilege as
citizen according to his own best judgment

himself to be blindfolded by a gang of
masked political bunco-steerers who do not
dsre to show their faces In tire open?
Something; . About Machines.
"They say they want to down the ma
K ciltne. What machine? Is It the old or the
fvnewT Let us be frank about these mat
ters. The machine that has figured so con
spicuously In Gaha politics was known as
the Moores-Rosewater-Dennlson machine.
Hoores stood for the city hall gang, the
police commission, with 100 policemen
winging their clubs over the heads of
brewers and saloon keepers, and a dosen
sleuths forretlng out and running down
anything and anybody that did not toe the
mark, all the while collecting forced con
( trlbutlons from gamblers, prostitutes and
iv outlawa for political purposes and personal
' gain. That was precisely the way It was
pictured by the sham reformers who cir
culated those 'well defined rumors' two
years ago.
Rosewater stood for the political part of
the machine. He controlled the county
committee, with -an Iron hand and be
manipulated the city committee and packed
primaries and conventions with machine
tienchmen.- And Dennlson, the policy king,
s he is called, was presumed to line up
the burglars, footpads and vagabonds of

deviltry generally that was necemary to

old machine fits the descriptions that have

ok In the City Hall and See.
"If there ever wsa such a dreadful ma
chine as above described. It certainly has
no eilttene now. Take a look Into the
city hall and what do you find? With the
exception of a couple of elevator boys and
two or three clerks the entire ground floor
of the city hall has worn out Its shoes In
kicking the old machine. Every occupant
on the ground floor Is fornlnst the machine.
City Clerk Elbourn, who wan nominated by
the machine and elected by the machine s
with the new machine orgsnlzed by the
Gophers. John N. Westberg. the comptrol
ler, who had the support of the machine
for bla third term election, Is afflicted with
Rosewaterophobla, and has been foaming
at the mouth between drinks for more than
two years. Gus Hennlngs never dreamed of
the city treasurershlp until he was pro
jected Into the city hall by the Moores-Rosewater-Dennlson
machine, but he has
been dancing an antl-machlne hornpipe
twelve hours out of twenty-four these
many months.
"The top floor of the city hall, which was
so conspicuous In circulating these 'well
defined' and never discovered ugly rumors,
Is bitterly opposed to the machine. What
ever there is left of the Moores part of the
machine Is therefore confined to the middle
two stories of the building, with the ex
ception of the apartments occupied by the
Broatch police reform commission.
"What la there left In the city hall of
that terrible machine?, Just the third floot
and a portion of the fourth, but on that
one floor right opposite to the head of the
machine Is the head of the other machine
Mr. Broatch with his police commission.
I do not see any terrible machine left there
In the city hall.
Breatch's Private Investigation.
"Now let us look at the police depart
ment, of which Mr. Moores was presumed
to have full control for one purpose
only, and that Is to bulldoze and blackmail.
Bulldoze those who did not want to give
him their Involuntary support and to hold
up people who were subject to police sur
veillance. This Is the story they told and
thousands of good, respectable people In
the city of Omaha believed and hundreds
of them still believe. You remember the
gentlemen who started the well-defined
rumors called upon the Judges to convene
special grand Jury. The grand Jury was
called and continued In session about two
months. It Investigated these stories, but
failed to find any tangible proof of hold
up or blackmail or collection of forced
contributions from the vicious classes.
But the men who are now leaders In the
Gopher camp Insisted that the grand Jury
was packed and, moreover, that the men
and women who were subpoenaed before
the grand Jury did not dare tell what they
knew, for the police were sllll In the hands
of Mr. Moores, and as Jong ss ho had the
police they would not tell what they knew
and would not disclose anything detri
mental to him for fear of retaliation.
"You all know that the police have been
under the control of the Broatch commis
sion since the early part of August, some
thing like eight months. I am credibly In
formed that women who piled their voca
tions In Chicago were brought to Omaha
and planted In various houses of Ill-fame,
In order to Investigate these rumors and
And out whether the keepers or Inmates
of these disreputable resorts had been held
up or had paid for protection, hut so far
as I oan learn they failed to discover any
thing to confirm the rumors. An expert
detective was also brought to Omaha at
the Instance of the Broatch commission to
ferret among the sporting fraternity. He
professed to be a gambler who wanted to
negotiate with Omaha gamblers to go into
business and sought to ascertain what he
would have to pay for protection In Omaha,
and when he was told that no protection
money was being paid, he said: 'That
can't be possible. We are paying for pro
tection In Chicago. We know those
things.' But when be found no gambler
who had been! held up or paid for pro
tec'lon the expert gave It up as a bad Job.
In addition to these Imported male and
female detectives Omaha aleuths, known
to be hostile to Mayor Moores, have been
scouring the city night and day tor nearly
eight months, but up to date the well
defined rumors of 1901 have failed to ma
terialize. Samples of Gopher Reform.
"In the meantime the reform police com
mission, to whom the good people of
Omaha have looked for a municipal clean
up, have been swinging the police clubs In
the wrong direction. The . leaders of the
Oopher antl-machlne aay their main ob
ject is to get the elty purified so that de
cency can prevail in Omaha. If it Is true
that indecency flaunts Its brazen face In
Omaha, who, I pray. Is responsible? It
there is tolerated vice In any part of the
city, where Is the blame? Who controls
the police? It not this hue and cry of antl
machlne hypocritical? In 1901 when the
county committee was captured by the
faction ot self-styled purifiers gentle
man was put at tts head who stands high
In ths Young Men's Christian association,
and wherever good men walk, eat and

ssked me particularly to go down to the

brewers sod helped him collect 1250. Yet
st that very time the sham purifiers
tried to make political capital by de
nouncing the Moores machine for subsist
ing on contributions from the brewers snd
liquor dealers. Ia that very campaign, as
I am informed, the sstl-mschloe committee
with the knowledge and consent of Its pious
chairman solicited a campaign contribu
tion from Tom Dennlson, the policy king,
aa I am Informed, although he was being
clubbed night and day by the parties for
whom that committee stood ss purifiers
and machine crushers. Dennlson honored
the draft and gave them $100 of gambler's
money snd they took It. I presume that
if Dennlson or any other man of the sport
ing fraternity should drop a hundred-dollar
bill Into the slot machine of the
Oophers they would use It without any
qualms of conscience. (Applause.) They
would not hesitate to accept s.ich stained
money. Not at all. At the same time
they would thank the Lord that he has not
made them as all these others are.
Attested Ho.ewater Machine.
"Now as to the Rosewater machine.
When the county committee and city com
mittee was by decisive majority made up
of my political friends there was always
some representation In the committee for
the minority. The committee was or
ganized for the republican party and not
merely for one faction. The Rosewater
machine recognized the right of the mi
nority to participate with the majority.
When a ward or precinct was carried by
the opposing faction the antl-machlne del
egates were always allowed to name the
members of the committee for that ward
or precinct. They were always given their
due proportion of campaign ammunitions
whether In the shape of carrtagss or
workers, snd were permitted to share the
fortunes of the party and march hand In
hand with the majority. At no time In the
history of Omaha and the county, at least
for the last twenty-five years, has any
precinct or ward preaented the names of
committeemen selected by the delegates
presen without having them duly rec
ognized and enrolled In the central com
mittee. Methods of the Reformer..
"Mark the contrast between the old and
the new machine. When the county con
vention last fall was captured by imported
repeaters from Iowa and hundreds of affi
davit men who had no right to vote and
by corporation bcodle, the anti-machine
faction set up the most arbitrary and
tyrannical machine that we have ever seen
In the city or In this atate. When South
Omaha came up with a delegation opposed
to the majority of the convention they
were chastised and denied any representa
tion on the legislative ticket. Not only
that, when the delegation from South
Omaha, In accordance with old-time usage,
named the six committeemen to which
thst city surely was entitled under the call,
those committeemen were Insultingly re
jected and six men who had been over
whelmingly defeated at the South Omaha
primary were put upon tho committee. Is
It any wonder that the ticket met with
disaster in that town by reason of the
resentment of the republicans of South
Omaha at such treatment? The same
treatment was meted out to the Second
and Third wards In Omaha and precincts
In the county that had elected anti-Mercer
delegates. Thus the county committee was
made not a representative of the whole
party, but simply a club representing one
faction of the party, and what I believe to
be a minority of the party and not a ma
jority. (Applause.)
"The same tactics, only more so, were
rursued In the city convention last fall.
There wae really no great struggle. There
were "bo candidates for cRy offices and
only one-third of the school board, but
In their anxiety to crush and destroy all
onnositlon by main force the convention
dominated by the sham purifiers deliberately
went to work and named a city commit
tee, regardless of the wishes of the mi
nority delegatea. The committeemen were
11 selected In advance, their names read
off from a paper and put through under
whip and spur. Not a single member was
of the minority faction. The republican
city committee no longer represents the
party. It simply voices the will of a
faction. If this policy Is to be pursued in
the future sny rational man who is famil
iar with human nature can see nothing but
disaster in the city campaign and in all
succeeding campaigns so long as such a
policy Is pursued. No political party can
hope to succeed unless It can broadly
recognize the rights of every faction and
every element of the party and give It
fair representation, not only upon the
ticket, but upon the managing committee.
Flat form ot The Bee.
"Manifestly the outcry against the Rose
water part of the machine Is senseless and
misleading. The only thing that may re
main, and does remain, is The Omsha Bee,
and that stands purely upon the broad
platform of popular confidence. Nobody is
obliged to take the paper If it does not
suit him. Nobody is obliged to support its
policies unless he sgrees with the senti
ments expressed, and its Influence depends
upon the good will of the public. If It
exerts any political Influence it is because
it champions principles and policies that
are popular. (Applause.) If It Is a power
In politics It is because It has always stood
for Omaha and Nebraska and has always
advocated what It believes to be for the
welfare of the masses.
Tom Dennl.on's Machine.
"Now we come to the last part of the ma
chine, and that Is perhaps the most odious
part, and I am going to speak without re
serve. There Is no doubt that Tom Den
nlson, Juat ths same as dozens of other
men ot the sporting fraternity, has exer
cised a certain amount of Influence politi
cally and I will describe It by recalling an
incident In Omaha polities. If memory
serves me right, it happened about two
yeara ago, when Thompson of the Ninth
ward was a candidate for sheriff. In the
middle of that campaign Thompson called
on me with his bosom friend. City Treasurer
Hennlngs. 'What do you think of my
candidacy for sheriff?' said he, 'and where
do you stand on that? I said: 'So far as
I am concerned, I want to help nominate a
man that we can elect. I do not think
you are a good mixer. I think you are
talking too much on the street corners and
do not circulate enough among the work
in graen. It I was In your place I would
change my tactics and endeavor to get In
with the people.' 'Well,' said he, 'where
does Frank Moores stand on sheriff?' I
said: 'I do not know exactly, but I under
stand that the mayor wants a man thst
csn be elected, and In the main I believe
he thinks the same ss I do, that you do
not mix enough and that you do not have
the strength you ought to have among the
common people.' 'Well, how does Tom Den
nlson stand?' said Thompson. 'Do you
think I am a mind reader?' said I. 'Den
nlson is a rambler, and gamblers are al
ways with the powers that be, and the
powers that be is John Power, over In the
court house. Naturally Dennlson Is with
Power. Hs Is Just Ilk. all ot his clsss.
They always try to stand In alth the sheriff
and the mayor and tbey always drop on
their feet lias a est when the political
policy wheel takes a turn.' (Laughter.)
Bo tar as I can ascertain, Tom Dennlson
has no calling In the city of Omaha. now
that can be eonaldered illegitimate. He
has not bean In business, as they say, for
more than sis months, except as a sport on
the race tracks and In side speculation. As
a matter of fact, Dennlson Is a vary reticent
nan. lis does not take anybody luto his
confidence. Tor all I know, he may have
an Interest In gambling houses or In policy
shops In Cincinnati, Denver, San Francisco
or South Omaha. I am not hla keeper and
he is not mine. I have candidly given you
an outline of the situation of the so-called
Moores-Rosewater-Dennlson machine that
baa given way to the new machine en
gineered by the Gopher Klan.
Why Its tsmpilan Failed.
"The new machine Is the most despotic
machine that anybody has ever seen In this
or any other state In the union. Never has
anybody seen such high-handed snd stupid
mschlnlng. The disaster that overtook the
new machine last fall waa due almost alto
gether to Its unrepubllcan policy. They
did not want to fraternize with anybody
that did not belong to their faction. Mer
cer himself repelled the proffered assist
ance of Senator Millard. When he was
asked by Senator Millard whether he could
do anything for him, he said, 'No, I am ee
good as elected now. I do not need your
help.' The Impending city campaign Is not
national. It does not Involve great state
Issues, but It msy bear on the future ot the
party, and on the future ot the state. The
paramount Issue In this campaign Is
Omaha, and the republicans of Omaha must
stand by Omaha, against corporate tax
shirkers and corporate misrule, and against
the election of anybody that stand with
those people. (Applause).
Stand of the Corporations.
"There Is no doubt that the parties that
have been operating at Lincoln this winter
will now enter into this campaign and at
tempt to give us the kind of representation
In the city ball for the next three years
that they have given us tn the legislature
for the last three months. It remains for
every republican to decide for himself
whether he can afford to be represented In
the city government by anybody who la
chained to the corporatlona. We want to
give the corporations fair and equitable
treatment and If they are satisfied with
fair treatment they should stop tampering
with our city council and city officers. If
they want to rule this city with an Iron
hand, if they want to own our public serv
ants, our councllmen, mayor, treasurer,
clerk and comptroller, then, for one, I am
willing to go anywhere to break that power
down. (Applause.) And I will say that no
party ties are strong enough to chain me
down to that class of candidates. I realize
that we have a great future before us. I
believe that If Omaha would make a con
certed effort to develop the resources at tts
command the oldest man In this room may
see a city here of 200,000 population, but If
we continue simply as the hewers of wood
and carriers of water for these corpora
tions and allow them to control our public
men, we cannot hope for progress. The
people of Omaha In the earliest days stood
up for Omaha and fought Its battles and
they ought to fight them again, and what I
want to see Is the republicans of Omaha
take up the banner and carry It to victory
at the coming election. (Applause.)
Aa to Frank E. Moores.
"I am not committed to Frank E. Moores
for mayor of Omaha. I do not believe that
any man is absolutely essential to the
growth and prosperity of Omaha. I do not
think that any single man must occupy any
office In order that the city should prosper.
(Applause.) When they present to us a re
publican candidate who has greater ele
ments of strength than Frank E. Moores,
when they present a man who has a better
chance of winning tn the coming battle, and
who will have the courage to stand up for
Omaha against corporate greed, I am will
ing to support him.' It don't matter what
his name may be, hut no candidate who Is
not tn touch with the Working men can hope
to be elected. While these people are
howling machine and'talktng about purify
ing our polltlci, and trying to make the
peopia believe 'the;4oVn'.t swarming with
thieves and thugs, 'iney' .are preparing a
raid upon the city halt.. '
Look .it Their Records,
"When we come to elect our city officers
the whole question will be, Have they been
tried and found wanting? Those who have
been tried and proved true or fairly repre
sentative ot the city, of Omaha should be
endorsed. (Applause.) We cannot expect
angels anywhere. We must expect men to
make mistakes. All men have some faults,
but when a man does the best he can do,
when he exerts all the powers ot his mind
and usee all of the power vested In him to
carry out, as far aa he knows to protect the
interests of the city, he is entitled to your
confidence and support.4 It he fails so to
do, he should be retired. That Is the rea
son we have men in office for fixed terms,
and when they present themselves tor re
election, tf their conduct has not been such
ss meets tho popular approval they are re
tired, but I do not approve of the vindictive,
mean, contemptible warfare that has been
waged for years against one particular man.
(Applause.) I do not care who the man Is,
every rational, law-abiding citizen will
agree to this principle that when a man
has been elected to office by a majority of
the voters of the community, he should be
allowed to serve his term and should be
given an opportunity to carry out the wishes
of the people who elected him, and it Is
simply reprehensible and despicable for any
man who has not been voted for to try to
rob the people of their choice under any
pretext. (Applause.)
Boyd Incident an Illustration.
"Years ago. In the year 1890, the people of
Nebraska elected James E. Boyd governor,
and the man that occupied the seat, Gen

on me and told me that he had been ad

not eligible to the office. He ssld he was

(Laughter.) I said: 'That is exactly what
these people advise you to do.' When
Governor Thayer attempted to hold over
I said it was the sentiment of
many prominent republicans in this
state that James E. Boyd should
take his seat, and not that the place
should be occupied by a man that had not
been voted for.' And some men of consid
erable eminence have agreed with me. One
of those was Benjamin Harrlaon. When
Harrison csme to Omaha, as president, on
his way to the stats of California, he was
terribly embarrassed. Two men wanted to
sit with him In his carriage, one was James
E. Boyd and the other John M. Thayer.
Both claimed to be governor ot Nebraska,
so the -president requested that neither
ride with him and rode with the mayor and
left the two governors to' travel by them
selves, but confidentially end privately be

greatest mistake the republicans could
make, to undertake to take from ,'imei E.

what the pretext. And the supreme court
of the United States finally confirmed the
I right of Boyd end seated him. The at
tempt of W. J. Broatch to oust Moores
from his office was utterly indefensible.
The principle that the man elected by the
people should serve the people Is sacred
and should be protected by all means. (Ap

"The persecution that followed from that
day to this has been of the same char
acter. As I said before, I do not believe
that Mr. Moores has any special right or
title to the office be holds. Tho people
ot Omaha have the right to choose whoever
they please and the republicans have the
right to nominate the best man they can
get, and when the man is presented who
possesses these qualities to a higher de-
i gree, who can get more of the common
people to rally around him and make sure
of his success, Moores will hsve to give
way. But until then It seems senseless
to Join in this hue and cry against him
and endeavor to make Moores alons the
paramount issue of tho campaign. In my
Judgment the paramount Issue this spring
Is the right of Omaha to govern Itself.
Shall corporations rule Omaha or Omaha
rule the corporations, which? That is the
question that has got to be fought out in
the coming primaries.
"Fellow citizens, I have given you some
glimpsea of the old machine and the new
machine. The old macblno has ceased to
exist. It has passed out, except ss it stands
by the suffrage of the people. Whatever
the republican majority In Omaha wants
i It can have and It ahould have. It should
' not allow Itself to be dominated or dom
ineered over by corporations, by police

FALLING HAin STOPPED.
Baldne.a Cored by Destroying the
Parasite Germ thnt Onuses It.
Baldness follows falling hair, falling hair
follows dandruff; and dandruff la the result
of a germ digging its way Into the scalp to
the root of the hair, where It saps the
vitality of the hair. To destroy that germ
Is to prevent as well as cure dandruff,
falling hair, and lastly, baldneas. There
Is only one preparation known to do that,
Newbro's Herplclde, an entirely new,
scientific discovery. Wherever it has been
tried it hss proved wonderfully success
ful. It can't be otherwise, because It ut
terly destroys the dandruff germ. "You de
stroy the cause, you remove the effect."
