POLITICS IN LOCAL ARENA
f ontensllM Will Trj Again 8atnrday Night
to Ferret) : Slate.
NEW MEN BOB UP ANI OLD SORES GROW
Braves Become Tlmoroas as They Ap-
f Splits aad Spats Among
Their Chiefs.
The Fontanel) braves will buckle on their
armor sgaln Saturday night and try to
finish their slate for the municipal pri
maries. The- 'outcry against the medlclro
fixed by the chiefs during the last few
weeks has .not been, of the congratulatory
character and the business Saturday night
will be approached with no llltlo trembling
and timidity. Endorsements remain open
for comptroller and councllmen from the
Second. Seventh- and Tenth wards.
Since the governors were unable to agree
upon either John W. Fead or John N. West-
berg for comptroller three other aspirant
have poked their heads through the open
ing. Most conspicuous among these, from
a social standpoint at least, Is Clement
Chase, editor and publisher of Omaha's ex
clusive society weekly.
Tom Blackburn pick Is John Nordwn'.l
of the Tenth ward, a clerk In the auditing
department of the I'nton Pacific, supposed
to Carry strength with the Swedes.
Further and again, Henry P. Kolb, who
has Just retired from the Damon-Kolb No
tion company, of which he was secretary
nd treasurer, wonld like to be comptroller.
He sought endorsement for the council from
the Eleventh ward, but the Fontanclles
chose another man.
. The councllmanlc nomination In the Sev
enth will be presented to C. 8. Hayward,
It Is stated on good authority. In the
Tenth ward William C. Cott of tho Martin
Cott Hat company la being urged. The Sec
ond ward situation Is still in the air.
George F. West, general agent of the
passenger department of the Northwestern
railroad In Omaha, admits he Is being
urged by friends to permit his name to be
used in connection with the republican)
nomination for mayor. Members of various
organisations of which he Is a member
and personal friends have assured him of
support. But Mr. West Is saying nothing
except that he Will "give it due considera
tion." A. C. Taylor, commonly known aa
"Buck" Taylor, has filed as a candidate for
the republican nomination for the council
from the Third ward. Mr. Taylor for
some years has been In charge of the
night street cleaning forces of the city.
He was sergeant-at-arms of the house at
the last session of the legislature. He says
he Intended to get In the race first against
Harry B. Zlmman, Henry Plumb and fifty
seven other varieties in the Third who have
announced their candidacy. Mr. Taylor
anted In at the city clerk's office at 4
o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday, Jan
uary 3.
Nearly one week has been blown Into
hlrtory and the downtown headquarters of
.tames C. Dahlman, democratic candidate
for the mayoralty nomination, has not been
opened, aa Mr. Dahlman assured the pub
lic would be the ease. Ward workers with
the everlasting thrill of patriotism In their
palms have been sneaking around, asking
questions about this downtown headquar
ters, but In vain.
A democrat who claims to know and who
Is Interested in stirring up all the trouble
he can between ' the Dahlman and Smith
factions, explains It by saying:
"The story of a possible democratic dark
horse candidate has kept the Dahlman
managers t 'out . of their money This
money was to have come from well known
sources, which were to have chipped In
to help Mr. Dahlman get the nomination.
Until a dark horse develops or Is killed oft
no rule of prudence would permit the open
ing of a pot. Hence the delay of a warm
ing up of headquarters."
And the democrat who, talked this wise
theu laughed brutally and refused to name
the dark horse.

The "Discovery
of the
Soda Cracker
For years the humble soda cracker remains J
obscure and unappreciated. No one seemed to
realize its food value no one seemed to know
that it was one of the most nutritious rations
obtainable.
Then one day the soda cracker was
"discovered." The NATIONAL BISCUIT
COMPANY saw its value if properly pre
sented to the public. They set about to
bring its quality to the highest possible stand
ardthe result being Uneeda Biscuit,
which are to-day recognized as one of the
staple foods of the American people.
Nearly 400,000,000 packages of them have
been sold, and the food value of the soda
cracker is a settled fact.
