He will make several trips in the interim, coming In July for a meeting with the di rectors to make out the prise lists. Local features will be brought to the front mora than ever before and President Peck says ba Is certain that with the In creased number of horse owners and women who have learned to ride and drive at the riding school which was run during the winter by Fred Bork, m difficulty will be experienced in having several of these events at each performance. The circuit has been arranged and Is so fixed that there will be no conflicting dates, as was the case laat year, when St. Louis held its show on the same week as Omaha, and was able to get some of the crack entries away from us. The circuit Is now LouiHvllle, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and Chicago. This makes a good circuit, with short ratlroa jumps, and will cut down the expense considerable.

OUR LETTER BOX. Blackbarn'a Apoloay for Foutanellea. OMAHA, May 3. To the Editor of The Bee: In your morning newspaper, you have two editorials, one entitled "Time to Get Together" and the other "Causes of Republican Defeat." 1 take exceptions to many things in the Utter and approve ot part of the Ideas suggested In the former. To me it seems very Inconsistent to urge republicans to unite for the good of the party in one column and In another to blame the recent defeat to the only live republican organisation In the city, when It la necessary to have the support of that organisation and its friends as the first step toward union In the party. ' In passing permit me to say also that I question the propriety of a party news paper taking sides with either faction be fore the primaries, especially when that party newspaper was forced. In taking aides, to approve and endorse the records of men who had completely lost the con fidence of the people by their conduct while in .office. Had you refrained from attack ing: (he other republican candidates be fore the primaries your editorials could not have been used by the enemy at the election to creats false impressions of the purposes of the nominees. I ant not charg ing the defeat of Tuesday to you, tint am constrained ' to say that the element in the party- which has been yours to cam, mand. most of the time for nine y?nrs did bring about the result which is now the occasion of this discussion. 1 was one of the original Fontanellea; I am proud Of it, and proud of the good work done within the parly by that or ganisation. It was formed for definite purpotwMi, one of which was to antagonise a machine hiuvnced by a boss gambler and the service corporations, which iu three city campaigns bad outraged public senti ment, la other words, the Foutanellt) club was the organised protest of 4.0"U repub licans against the Denniaon machine and Its mtthodg. It smashed that institution effectually in the only way it could be de stroyed. It has also accomplished several other things the reduction of water rates, the direct primary law and begun the agi tation for cheaper gas. The Fontanelle club has never bolted a ticket or a man on a ticket after the nom inations were made, saving in the single Instance where it felt that C. F. Welter's nominal Ion for water commissioner had been secured by a species of Jugglery amounting to fraud. It did not charge this piece of political chicanery to Mr. Weller, but got behind Mr. Howell to re buke the fraud- When your friends were successful at the pi1 rim r ir a, even where your party man ager refused to bear contests, we rallied to the entire ticket aad in every single in stance the so-called machine men upon the republican ticket were elected, while, the Fontant-lle men In many Instance were kniftd by the ether faction and in soma cases were defeated.

It is, therefore, unfair, as well as un wise, at this tlmo to be throwing bricks at the first and only strong political club ever organized In Douglas county which does its fighting against republicans ut the pri maries aud takes Us medicine cheerfully at tho general election. The Fontanelle club Is not now and never has been "a proscrlplive factional club." It la not now and never has been "bent on keeping" factional sorea open, 'and has never been either "arbitrary" or "despotic" and has never been a machine In the political sense, saving as the word machine, may be used to cover tho term "organized voters." You doubtless remem ber a speech made by your father in which he explained to the Eighth ward repub licans that a machine was essential to the upbuilding of u party. The Fontiinelle club Is a representative republican organization, its board of gov ernors is. made up of one man from each voting precinct In the county, one from each ward In thla city and an electle ex ecutive commit lee of nine. In other words, so far as the city of Omaha. Is concerned, seventy-live representative republicans con- Istltute the directing and controlling force of the I'oniuneuo ciun. n is provmea ny the bylaws that when u member of the board of governors becomes a candidate for an elective office he by that act Josea his place in the board of governors , and cannot vole at any meetings of that body. 11 is further provided that no applicant for the endorsement of the club shall be rec ommended to the voters unless he shall have received a two-thirds vote of the board of governors present, voting by se cret ballot. The pledge ot lunula ml. ip is simple and reads a follows: "1 am a lejiublicun voter in precinct, ward, end wtah to Join the Fontanelle club." Any republican la eligible and no man wua ever expelled from the club or refused membership therein. I submit, therefore, that there la noth ing in the plan of organization, or the pledge of membership, or In the history of the club, of which any member need fortheBabjN OHQi D We will suppose that your baby is having a lutie difficulty with h i food.

We carry a complete stock of newest de signs. lie ashamed, or which any honest repub lican can Justly condemn, and In view of the bolting record of The Omaha Bee and some of the cohorts of the old machine, ft does not atund in the mouth of either to charge any Fontanelle with bolting at any time. Three yea's ago the Fontanelle club was not In existence. It was organised a little more lhau two years ago. Its first campaign was the one in which It sup ported Harry Brome for delegate at large to tho national convention against Ed ward Rosewater, and was successful. Its next campaign resulted In the elec tion of the entire republican county ticket and the election of Howell over Wellcr as water conimlsbioner. Its third campaign resulted In a clean sweep of the county offices last full, when the Fontanelles, both at the primaries and after the primaries, supported among oth ers formerly friendly to the machine, Robert O. Fink for county treasurer, D. M. Haverly for county clerk and E. Q. Solomon county commissioner. Why not be fair, therefore? The Fonta nelle club has invariably fought In the open. It has definitely outlined Its' plat form of principles and openly avowed its choice of candidates for the nomination After the nomination It has supported the entire ticket and lent Its substanlal aid to the party for the ticket. Furhermore, it haa always co-operated with the organ ized party committees, although it knew them In some casea to be unfriendly and suspicious, If not actually treacherous. Finally, In the campaign Just passed, the Fontanelle club and candidates turned the management of the election over to the county committee, yielding at every point for the sake of harmony, and in no case did the Fontunelle club insist upon usurp ing the functions of the regularly elwcted party committee, though its members stood ready to assist and did upon request give valuable iervlce, free of charge, to the city coenmlttee. i The club has not "outlived its useful nrss." t'ntil Omaha Is again given a clean, capable, honest, republican city ad ministration, thla club, made up in Its board of goernors. of business men, pro. tetulunul men und workingmen, all of whom, are busy and none of whom seek office for a living, the club will be a factor in the city and county, L'ntll that time the eople of Omaha cannot spar the Fontanelle organization, and until that lime the honest, earnest republicans of the city will be found largely co-operating with the club, which you have tried to make Omaha people believe is "a proscrlp. live, factional rlub." kept alive by "die- ii untied office keekers'' and "corporation hirelings." I submit, finally, that you owe it to our readers to say that you have been misinformed and that In the interest of the republican party ou admit the facts heiein slated, all of which you can readily verlev. The Fiiiitauetle club la dismayed at the treachery revealed at t he election; It Is lot discouraged, neither la it destroyed, and It is not going out of bustnesa, but will continue to work for good gvernrnent In Omaha.

The Bee admits nothing of the kind. It is notorious the Fontanelle club was an organized outgrowth of Ben son's bolting campaign in 1903, and that Tom Blackburn himself, more than any one else foisted on the club the endorse ment of Benson as 'a vindication of his bolt against Moores. It is plain enough now to those willing to s- that the bolt ing record of Benson is what made him weaker than any other candidate men tioned In connection with the mayoralty.
