BREEN PUTS DAMPER ON FONTANELLES ateellaes ta Staad en Platform and Warns Candidates for Council They WUI Hit to Work , . for Salary. m """" " Contrary to Ha custom the Fontanelle club threw down the bars last night and admitted reporter and a few others to Its 60-cent enthusiasm-generator dinner at O'Brien's cafe. The feasters numbered something more than "loo. Harry C. Brome was toastmastcr. Remembering the com plaints made by the candidates below city attorney of shabby treatment at the Crelgh ton ball meeting the councilmanlo slate was called upon tr describe Itself first and Mr. Benson last. Mr. Benson said: I hava been thinking what a magnificent city we would have it all the men in the city were equal In character to thofie here tonight. If Omaha were populated by men like these and no one of lesser character ever -inhabited the city and the news should1 go out on ths wires tonlunt and be known all over the country, I think the value of every piece of property here would be doubled by tomorrow noon. The value of the property would be almost inesti mable, you would need no policemen ex cept to direct people the way. You would need no police court nor criminal division of the district court with Its array of Juror and witnesses. As I said before the only thing of intrinsic value In this world of ours is men and if I should g iwn to defeat I should regnrd It as an honor the highest in all my life that I had been your candidate for this high office. ' Breen ChllU. the Reach. . The club's candidate for city attorney, John P, Bresn, politely told the organisa tion that so far as he was concerned It might take Its platform and use It 'to build fires with; that he thought platforms only a kind of a gold brick at the best and that It's a nion'a character and Intellect and that alone that make him a good or bad public officer. Besides this Mr. Bresn took sharp Issue with a number of men on the OckeU winv jpljaded that -they? f'1"1" ,?0 b4. re4uigj Ha .4voti. all of jLbek Jlme-to tba, councilmanlo office If elected. He told them that the city of Omaha Is a corpora tion spending something ' like 11,260,000 ' In taxes each year and that. to execute the duties oT councilman properly means a great deal of hard, unremitting labor, coupled with-the-expenditure of time and study. Said he. I have noticed - that pretty nearly every candidate here tonight, has taken pains to climb up on the Fontanelle platform, until this Instrument seems so well loaded that i doubt if. mere is room ior me 10 get on. fm not very strong on platforms, anyhow, think I have scarcely ever seen one 1 could not run upon, in the final analysis 1 think the whole' platform business may be riKulved Into the simple declaration of "He just and fear not." No platform ever written can completely cover or moet tho experiences, of a man in public office. Plat form or no piatform, the man in office will find that the boat he can do la to meet -cli separate problem as It rises, faith fully. Justly, honestly and with sincerity. Those who speak lightly of the small nniount of time they think It will require from them to handle the duties of council man do not, I think, realise what these duties are. The twelve men who would undertake to administer the affairs or the corporation of Omaha, spending ll.SaO.OuO a, year of the people's money, should, in my Judgment, be prepared to expend Just as much time as necessary to administer those duties with the same fidelity and attention to detail that goes Into the suc cessful conduct of their own private af fairs. One of the greatest drawbacks to proper councllmunic action that I have discovered Is that the Incumbents do not Ktva time enough to their official work to grasp the details and to understand .the substance of the work before them. .. , i Mr. Breen, however, thanked the club for lis endorsement and said he regarded it as the greatest militant force in politics today la Omaha. ' Attitude of Would-Be Connctlnten. tV, TV. Plngham oouncilmanlc candidate from the Second-ward, declared that con trary to the expressed intention of his principal , competltos, to establish an office liv the ward If elected . that he would' do nothing of the kind, but continue his devotion to the commission business as In the past. John' A. Scott, councilmanlo candidate from the Fourth, ward, said "It Is not necessary, for a business man to devote all -his tlnW to the city for $13 It month." C. 8. 1 Hay ward. Seventh, ' ward councilmanlo candidate, expressed the same sentiment. ' E. A. Willis, First ward candidate, said that Councilman' P. M. Back had - been under corporation dictation for three years and he could prove It, as well as the asser tion that Back procured passes from rail road companies and sold them.' Henry I. Plumb of the Third ward said he was a self-made man. U E. Lucas of the Fifth ward said the Equal Rights club meant an equal division of the spoils. George Hurst of the Sixth ward was Introduced aa a union labor man. C. J. Andersen of the Eighth said he ran on his record as a charter maker. J. C. Pedersen of the Ninth was absent. Ocorge Cott of the Tenth said he had been an unwilling candi date. Frank Crawford of the Eleventh remarked that platforms are cheap and platitudes thick and that he didn't Intend to be any better In the council than he had been in private life. D. A. N. Chase of the Twelfth ward put In a kind word tor Benson. Sam K. Greenleaf. candidate for city clerk, and John N. Westberg and John H. Butler also made speeches. ' FIFTH WARDERS DfcOltK FAKK Banal Rights Lnsse C'lob Rracdlates the Broatch Circular, ' At an enthusiastic meeting of the Fifth Ward . Equal Rights club last evening in McKenna's hall. Sixteenth and Locust streets, the ticket circulated yesterday, giv ing the Impression that Broatch was re ceiving the endorsement of the Equal Rights league members," was severely de nounced as a political trick of the lowest character. A number of candidates en-! dorsed by the league openly repudiated the use of their names on the spurious ticket and condenmned In no uncertain tones those who were responsible for the ticket. .President Christie of the Fifth Ward Re publican club had this to say in regard to the ticket In question: . ,. I hold In my hand a forerunner of what we expected fvnd what we are not surprised at. It is but one of a series of dirty, con temptible acta which will be resorted to before and after the primaries. This ticket Is a fraud upqn Its face and an Insult to the Equal Rights league and no man or class of men wire are not lost to all sense of honor or decency would circulate such a ticket. The ticket slanders every man on It and was gotten up in some scab shop and no union' man or their friends can or should be held responsible for. It. It has no union label. Some of the speakers present declared ; they would rather go down to defeat or withdraw entirely titan run on a ticket having the name of Broatch on It. W. I. Kierstead spoke of the general har mony prevailing In the Fifth ward and stated that the candidates which have been ndorsed by the Equal Rights leaguo had received the general support of all republi cans throughout the city. He character ised A. H. Hennlngs as a man of honesty and efficiency and a man who would be fair to all Iclasses as mayor, Councllmen Evans and Huntington addressed the voters and explained that they were working for the general weal when they acted as they did in the gas matter. Mr. Huntington went into the gas matter minutely and stated that many of the city officials had been arraigned before the bar of public opinion without Just cause.

At the Fontanelle feed Monday something of a discussion was participated in as to whether or not It is thought necessary to provide a feast to draw cltlsens to the Fontanelle meetings. Chairman ' Bromo spoke of the 60-cent dinner as a great suc cess, but S. A. Searle wanted down-town meetings held In halls without the pro vender accompaniment on the three Sat urday nights remaining before primary day. Campaign Manager Sauhders said meetings would be held In the Sixth and Eighth wards this week on dates not then fixed, adding parenthetically that It might be well to create interest In the wards be fore trying any more down-town pow wows. : Mr. Searle pointed out that the votes needed ' to nominate would have to come largely" from Worklngmen and that while dinners at O'Brien's cafe might be very well to assemble the, Impeccable and unapproachable character and Intellect of which Mr. Benson seemed so proud, they would hardly do as a method to reach vcters. Hugh Myers headed' off what might have been an Interesting debate by having the whole affair referred to the executive committee. Gus Cornbeck has been engaged in the city clerk's office to help fill the hole created by the resignation of Deputy Clerk Sam Slmonson, who quit because he did not care to support his chief for a nomination, having a preference for another candidate. Mr. Cornbeck is to be used to help out dur ing the busy election time season, according to the head of the department. Taking time by the forelock with a yank, the Jim Dahlman campaign managers have called a meeting of the men who will com pose the next democratic city committee for Thursday night. There are only eleven contests for committeemen in fifty-four precincts, so the affair can be arranged. In the eleven contested precincts both candidates are to be Invited. The object of the session will be to organise and start active work at once in the interest of Dahlman's candidacy. Until after primary day, the rest of the ticket is to be let alone, but things are to be whooped up generally ior Dahlman. George Rogers is to be temporary chairman until after the primaries, when he will be Invested with official authority. By this course the wily democrats think they will steal a big march on the wrangling republicans, who have at least three applicants for places on the committee In every precinct. They point but that with the precinct lights the re publicans can't follow this advance pro gram and they are correspondingly happy. One of the many curiosities of the pres ent campaign is the spectacle of a demo cratic candidate for an important city 01- fice boosting a republican ticket to the ex tent of his best talent and ability. ' The candidate is L. A. Crowell, who happens to be a reporter for the Junior yellow, to whom most of that paper's political thun der making la entrusted. At the last mo ments, before the filings for the primary closed, the democratic, managers, found may naq. overlooked : precautionary, jneati ures to file candidates for the offices of city treasurer and tax commissioner, these places being officially out of existence, but having Lu atlon pending , that ' might re establish them. Crowell In his private capacity was on the scene and was a close friend of one of the democratic en gineers. He said he was a democrat and agreed to permit the use of his name, none other being available owing to the stress . of time. . . Crowell has not much more than passed his majority and has never voted In Omaha. For a man of his years he has had an exceedingly varied career. About four years ago he landed In Omaha from Fremont, which had been his home since boyhood. He had tried his hand at news paper work on the Fremont papers and longed for a wider sphere. He got a desk Job, but preferred the more active life of a reporter and finally started in this line on another paper. In a few months he went over to the Hotel Reporter as ad vertising solicitor, but did not find this to his liking. He chanced to meet a man from the Big Horn country In Wyoming who claimed to have several Rockerfeller fortunes tucked away in oil lands there. This Incipient millionaire had a weekly paper at Basin, for which he wanted an editor. Crowell took the Job and went into the new country. After failing to draw his salary for several consecutive weeks and exhausting all the credit the place afforded he concluded that he bad a right to eat and got work punching cattle. He got to Denver by having himself sworn in as a deputy sheriff and escorting a desperate criminal to Cheyenne. In Denver Crowell fell upon bad fortune for a time, but finally connected with a newspaper and for about two years stayed with the game there. In cidentally being mixed up hi the most tur bulent of the miners troubles. Tiring of Denver, he returned to Omaha again and worked on the local newspapers and In the advertising department Of the Union Pa cific. Then his health fatted and he went to Los Angeles and worked on the news papers there for a year. About six months ago he returned to Omaha and now finds himself suddenly a full-fledged politician at the age of 13. of the Woodmen of the World Tuesday memlng sevrra! committees were ap pointed to visit the severs! states which have been presenting their claims for the location for the Woodmen headquarters, These committees will Investigate the laws as they spply to fraternal organisations and will report to a general meeting which will be held In Onmha as soon as tin committees return. No definite action has been taken on the question, of moving and this matter will be decided upon as soon as the committees return and report their findings.

Tho union men say ttiry would not be satisfied with $4.60" a day, because three years ago they wore entitled to a raise which they didn't get. Now they think they should receive this Increase with more add?d. There Is said to be no contention over the open shop.

Judge Troup announced Tuesday after noon that he would grant a temporary in junction to restrain the city from readver tlslng for bids on such printing supplies as are covered by the present contract with Klopp & Partlett company. This order will not Include the poll books and ballots, how ever, and the city Is lift free to advertise for new bids on these, items. As the two items are the only ones of any value in the list the decision Is considered a victory for the Typographical union, which Is seeking to keep the work from being done by Klopp & Bartlett company. Judge Troup held the city was bound to buy such Items as ' were covered by the annual contract from tho contractors, but where supplies In excess of 150 were needed and were not covered by the contract new competitive bids should be asked for. Un der the decision tne city authorities will proceed to advertise fof election supplies, eliminating those Items which Judge Troup decided must be purchased under the old contract. . y- OMAHA FIRM LANDS WORK Reynold Onk Secure Contract for Buildings nt Baltic Mountain Sanitarium.
