Hennlngs for treasurer," remarked Brneet Uertens in a crowd of democrats Thursday night, "and I defy any man to .uestlon my democracy." Mr. Mertens' stand In this campaign Is of special Interest because three years ago he was on the democratio ticket as the candidate for city treasurer against Mr. Hennings. "I am tor Hennings," continued Mr. Mer tens, "because I know that he has made a first clasa city official nd every cltlieni who wants good government should sup port him for a second term, regardless of party ties. If I had been elected three years ago and had made u good a record as Mr. Hennlags has made I would now be expecting, from the cltiiens of Omaha an endorsement of my work. "As for Frank Moores, I will say that he has made a good mayor a better mayor than Ed Howell would make. I was op posed to Howell for the nomination for the reason that I did not consider him a go'.d man for the office, and he Is no bet ter now than he was before the democratic convention. Ia a city election X am not going to vote tor any man simply became he la a democrat, but I am going to make my selections on the broad ground of good cltlsenshlp. I don't think any democrat who is familiar with affairs tnalds the party and who really knows what Ed Howell stands for can argue that It would be for the best Interests of Omaha to have a change In the mayor's office at this time." W. J. Perry, president of the Perry Live Stock Commission company of South Omaha and a resident of the Fourth ward, met a little party of republican and democratin politicians on Sixteenth street Thursday afternoon and the dlscuaaion naturally drifted to the city campaign. Mr. Perry was known to have taken an active part la the opposition to Mayor Moores before the primaries and some one In the party suggested that he waa now among the Bensonltes. "Not on your life," exclaimed Mr. Perry, as he reached into his vest pocket and pulled out a roll of bills. "Here's 1250 to back my opinion that Frank E. Moores will he elected on the 6th of May. I was against him at the primaries, but after he won out fairly against the odds that were stacked up against him and after the corrupt practices of his opponents in buy ing that Eighth ward delegate I say that every repi-olloen who loves fair play ought to vote .or him. I am not a supporter of bribery at any stage of any game." Mr. Perry found no taker for his $250 or any part of It. despite the fact that be gradually reduced the amount to $1 to accommodate any enthusiastic Howell man in the party. Late Thursday afternoon, when Ed Howell learned that the Douglas County Democracy waa almost at white heat be cause he had neglected to give It any rep resentation on the democratio executive committee, there waa quick action. The organization was to hold its regular weekly meeting In the evening and thero was no time to loae. Therefore measengers were dispatched to inform Lyale I. Abbott. Louis J. Plattl and Joeeph P. Butler that they were members of the executive committee. These men then supposed that they were to repreaent their respective wards in place Established 1023. That's Ml! fKtS) WttSWt P1WT!TJJJ4 CO i HI an re, ate. of the Jacksonlans who had previously been put on the committee, but when the com mittee met in the evening they found that the Jacksonlan members were all to remain and ths three Douglas Countyltes were merely added to the committee, giving the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards two rep resentatives each, while each of the other wards had but one. The adding of an extra man in each of three wards was a good deal like the placing of a fifth wheel on a wagon, and ao the Douglas Countyltes asked to have one of their men put on In each of the remaining six wards. This plan, however, was frowned upon by Willie Herdman, who, by.the way, has been made chairman of the committee by his brother Lee. The city committee of the people's inde pendent party meets in room S05 New York Life building, Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. The word has gone out that Lee Spratlen ia to be the political representative of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners in the present city campaign in its deal ings wltb those persons who are not next to the throne, but who are supposed to be in a position where police espionage and arbitrary action may affect them in their attitude toward candidates. The word which comes to the public Is that as soon as Lee Spratlen returns to the city he is to "see" the local brewers and the agents of the out-of-town breweries. In forming them that the board will have no objections to any work which they may do for E. E. Howell and will not visit upon them the fruits of their displeasure if they work for Mr. Benson, but that no favors can be expected If they do anything which might help the election of Mayor Moores. For the ttme being W. J. Broatch Is to place the whip of the police board into the hands of the democratio member of the board, while Broatch la to retire Into the background and from that vantage ground pull the strings which will make the board lump. City Clerk El bourn Is making arrange ments for the election, and yesterday was visiting the different parts of the city to se cure rooms in which polling places may be established. He is having the usual trouble finding acant bulldinga conveniently act uated and In some prec.ncts tents will have to be used as uaual. Becauae of the scar city of bulldiugs the work of preparing for the election will occupy the time of the clerk almost to the exclusion of any other business for the next ten days. charge and will be at the building the greater part of the time. Chairs will be provided fot )0 people and it is the in tention of th committee to bold meetings there every evening, which will be ad dressed by candidates and others Interested in the success of the republican party. The rooms are easily accessible and will be made the center of republican activity for the next two weeks. The real estate men have appointed the following committee to participate in the Benson campaign: F. D. Wead, George O. Wallace, A. L. Keed. O. S. Benewa, C. C. George. George H. Payne, W. T. Graham, D. V. Sholes, John W. Robblns and C. F. Harrison. Republican headquarters have been opened at 140T Harney street, the first door west of Meyer A Raapke's wholesale gro ery house.

Richardson, secretary of the Na tional Good Roads association, is at home for a few days, and will leave early next week, returning In time to cast a vote at the city election. Since leaving Omaha Mr. Richardson has attended meetings in a num ber of states in the interests of good roads. At Little Rock he organlied the Arkansas Good Roads association with several hun dred delegates. At the present aeseton of the legislature an attempt will be made to pass a bill based on the Massachuaetts Idea of state assistance to local communities In the construction of highways. At the meet, ing of the Missouri association at Spring field delegates were elected to the national convention to be held at St. Louis next year. Mr. Richardson attended the Iowa conven tion, which was held this week at Des Moines upon ths call of Governor Cumlmns, at which a state association was formed which has a membership of ISO to 400.

NEW WORK ON AN OLD TOPIC MoAtoj PrsaenU His Twanty-Ninth Edi tion of the City Dirootory. FULL OF. NAMES AND REFERENCE! Literary Stylo Hot Particularly At tractive, bat Sabfoct Blatter of Mocb latcreat to Present aad Fatare Generations. The literary editor of The Bee begs to. acknowledge receipt of the twenty-ntntn volume of William O. McAvoy's interesting work on "Persons We Have Met. Never Met, and Never Care to Meet," otherwise termed the Omaha city directory. For students of Mr. McAvoy's previous works it will be sufficient to state that this one has bearing upon the same era and deals with characters he baa already made familiar. But, to be frank, the author's style is becoming tedious. There Is an everlasting sameness about what he writes and one searches in vain for some pungent paragraph that can be quoted before the Philosophical society or played as original at a swell dinner. He grinds out pags after page In plain matter-of-fact, work-day, battleax style and then attempts an awk ward concession to the tendency of modern journalism by sticking In a yellow ribbon as a place keeper. Ho la Pandering; to Prosterlty. There will come a time when Mr. Mc Avoy's works will be searched for dili gently and studied profoundly, perhaps; but the search and the study will be prompted by that same desire to monkey with the facts and names of the long-dead past that now animates certain distin guished gentlemen who are scratching the pyramids of Egypt in the hope of digging up more scandals about Mr. Ptolemy, a deceased contractor, and his family. Mr. Ptolemy is generally conceded to have been unfair to union labor, but Eastern Institu tions of learning are not content to let the matter rest with the corpse, and one can not refrain from soma times suspecting that Mr. McAvoy, noting the expensive expedi tions they have sent out, has been fired by an unholy ambition to write more tor re search, present and future, than for simple entertainment, and to provide clues for tbs historians of 2903. To make a bad matter worse, the author has been guilty of rank partiality. In tbla laat volume he makes honorable mention of exactly 1,065 persona and firms whose names begin with Mc. The Browa family la mentioned III times, the Smith family 110. ths Jones family lit. the White family 9T, the Miller family 101. the Rogers family 49, the Black family 28 and the Blue family S times. In contrast, he mentions others on an average of only a dozen to two doien times, unless they pay for It. Caters to tbo Classes. Moreover, he seems to be catering to cer tain classes of business and professions. He mentions 163 physicians and forty-nine den tists, but only a handful of undertakers; 20S saloons, but only 116 clergymen; fifty two loan and bonding companies, but only ten collection agencies and six constables; 20 lawyers, but only one court where a man can go into bankruptcy voluntarily; 130 music teachers, but just a 'tew dealers in ear muffs; fifty-five tailors, forty-one laundries and twelve Chinamen, but not one woman who will sew on buttons for ovo; sixty-five newspspers and publications, but only one home for aged Indigent; -etebfv-elgbt boarding houses and forty-eight res taurants, but hardly a dozen convenient cemeteries. Digressing Into politics, he undertake to boom municipal ownership of the water works by listing forty-eight dairies within piping distance of the plant To Incon venience the courts and make necessary a new form of complaint, he locates a real "John Doe" at 912 South Thirteenth street. Pandering to local pride, he mentions ISt firms using the word "Omaha" In thel. names and forty-six using the word "Ne braska." He mentions 119 persons who be gin their names with Z, but gives X the double-cross Pretending for the volume that it is "a book for the family," he gives prominence to the Vesbnowskla, the Telle ruphuses, the Btumpfmalera, the 8c h neck -enbergers, the Staazaks, the Waslelewskls, the Koenlgsbruegges, the Psltnaaanaa and others whose names no child can tackle without subjecting Its tonsils to tbs dan gers of long exposure and whose names no adult can tackle and remain sober snd cheerful.
