Hitchcock anil his attitude In thla cam
paign ami wai followed shortly by '. H.
Hayward who also brought out the fact
that Mr. Hitchcock had personal aim In
making such a atrenuou fight for "Jim"
Ihihlman.
"It npptni (trance to me that tha good
People of thla city cun t ace at a giant
with which aide the grafter and cor
poration are lined up In thla fight," aald
Mr. Benaon. "I think tbijr will and by
their votea keep them from obtaining tlm

and the entire republican ticket, because
they know their business will not thrive
under our administration.
Comsillmenla to niletirnra.
"Mr. Hitchcock has made the atatement

Hitchcock baa developed a capacity for
lying In thla campaign which would make
Ananias look sick. He has ambitions of

for gain. Aa for me I would not make
one miaatatement If I knew It would
land me In the mayor's chair. I counted
the coat before I went Into thla campaign.
My bualneaa la worth several time aa
much to me aa the allowance which la
made for the mayor. It will be a sacri
fice to my home life, but my whole ambi
tion la to ace If I cannot make Omajia a
better place for people to reside. My
platform la not a collection of platitudes
on which to ride Into office, and then to
be abandoned. The only, issue after all
In thla campaign is whether you wish to
control your own government or turn
It over to certain special Interest. The
public service corporatlona pretend to
serve the people, but In reality aeek to
control the people,
Corporatlona All la I. la.
"Have Undemocratic manager made
any such statement aa did Chairman
Jefferls that not one cent had been con
tributed to the campaign fund by the
corporations? They could not. The
brewera are also In the deal, spending
a slush fund In this town tonight. With
this money Illegal votes have been reg
istered today some will be in jail before
Monday night.
"This all comes because one man la
seeking a high office In this state. That
1 just what Mr. Hitchcock I doing In
this campaign. He 1 striving to use the
mantle of hi respectability to cover the
thieve and thugs for his own personal
gain. Graft is never partisan, but the
good citizen la and ho la being fooled In
this campaign by the mask of respect
ability. Do those who love their homes
and their families wish to turn their In
terests over to such people. Graft Is a
material question a well aa a moral
question.
I "It has coat the county of Douglas
! $260,000 a year to protect agalnat crime and
to convict for crime. Do we want to In
i crease this expense by putting the criminal
l element In power?
"The corporations want more than to
control the government; they wunt to be
the government and to have 'their tools
In office."
Question lletfire the People.
John T. fathers said: "This Is an import
ant canipiiisn with a dangerous situation.
The question which confronts us is whether
we, the people, shall control the govern
ment or (urn It over to the breweries.
Harrington of O'Neill said last, night we
I should not elect Benson because he Is too
good a num. Can we have too goqd a man
for nur chief executive? More than 50
per cent of the taxes paid In during the
last ten years have been eaten up by
graft."
C 8. lfayward, candidate for councilman
from the Seventh ward, said: "I have been
trying for the laat aeven years to do my
duty politically and have atudied these
question. The government of the city
should be moved to the city hall. It has
been In the Budwelser saloon for the last
15 years. I have looked up Dahlman'a

look It up and vote according to their
conscience they would pot vole for Dahl

John Butter, candidate' for building in
spector, said:' "The motto should be re
ersed and made to read 'Omaha, build up
"Jim" Dahlman,' but Omaha i not suing
to do it."
R B. Howell spoke at aorue length on
the necessity of adhering to the old party
which ha done so much for ua all, and
added: "It Is not the tax collector who
collects moat of the taxes of Omaha.
Kvery utility Is aa much a tax aa the tax

the question of food and health, It might
be aald a truly, "It not so much hat
you eat as what real nourishment you get
out of what you eat."
This I the secret of health, strength and

your food contains. If your system does not
assimilate that nutrition take It up and
distribute. It throughout your body you
gain nothing beyond a temporary stimu
lation by having eaten It.

The plant cover a number of acres, and
employs several hundred people. No
other medicine firm In. the world reaches
anything like the volume of business done
by Dr. Hartman's flrin.
Although Peruna Is a proprietary medi
cine, the details of Its compounding are
in strict accordance with pharinacenutical
discoveries and nothing gives Dr. Hart
man greater pleasure than to shtw Ids
Intimate professional friends through tho
laboratory where Peruna is made.
A Doctor' lrewcription.
For year Dr. Hartman used Peruna in
Ills private practice as a regular prescrip
tion. He had no thought of manufactur
ing it or advertising it as a proprietary
medicine until there was a demand made
upon him by his many friends, who
clamored for the original prescription.

done easily by granting a franchise to
another company. If this gas company
thought for a minute another company
would get Into Omaha the rates would be
lowered at once. Mr. iJcnson and the
council can and will see that the people
of Omaha get lower gas."
Election officers have, been Instructed In
certain dutly with respect to the voting
machines iy circulars sent to each by City
Attorney flreen. One of the points made
clear Is that before the voting begins the
machinea must be examined In the presence
of audi party watchers as may be there
to ascertain that all counters are set at
sero. After quoting sections of the voting
machine law the circular reads:
You will thus observe that before the
polls are open It Is made the duty of the
election officers having the keys of the
machine to open the machine so us to ex-
pone the counters on the back of the ma
chine and to carefully scrutinize each
counter In the presence of whatever party
watchers may be present, and to ascertain
and to certify xn the return sheet that
each and every rounter was registered
sero before the polls opened and before
the seal was broken on the operurlng lever
In front, and If any counter when thu
examined by you is not found to be regis
tered at aero, to note what the counter
does actually register before the polls ar
opened and to enter the actual reKlstra
tlon on the return sheet, and thus show
at what number the machine was started
on any particular counter.
Special policemen are needed by the city
fur service at the May election "and Mayor
Zlmman has asked the newspapers to help
him out by publishing the fact. There

to Mayor Zlmman at 10 o'clock Monday

statesman. Introduced as Senator Sullivan
pf Casper, W'yo. He said he had come all
the way from the lakes of Klllarney to

senator managed to get rid of a lot of at.uff
like this:
" 'Gentlemen, I tell you what you want
for mnyor. You want a man with a nut.
You want a man with a back bone, and, by
God, I'm here to tell you Jim Dahhnan's
got the back bone,' To prove his asser
tion the senator told how Dnhlmnn had
Induced him to send his cattle to South
Omaha for the first time and how much
Dahlman'a commission company has bought
since.
"Aa for 'Jim' he was pretty well used up
by his strenuous campaign, despite his

"I was suffering from obstinate

"When 1 had taken only one bottle
I felt much better and since I have
taken two more bottles 1 feel entirely
well, but I will continue taking the
medicine for a short time to make
sure of my cure.
"I think Manalln Is one of the finest
remedies for constipation that I ever tried.
I Will never be without it. It has made
me so strong. I can do a day's work and
never tire.
"I am so glad I do not get those dizzy

I took your medicine.

your medicine has duno for me. All sick

Peruna is not like so many other rem

Mrs. M. S. Davis, 1503 Buena Vista St., Nashville, Tenn., writes:
'After having been a constant sufferer from catarrh for more than
twenty years and after trying almost every remedy advertised, and
having lost all hope, I very reluctantly began the use of Peruna about
two years ago.
"Everybody says I look younger now than I did twenty years ago,
and I actually feel younger and better, and weigh more.
"I am recommending it to my neighbors and all with whom I come
in contact."

Catarrh.
Peruna has no bad effects upon the
