THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 0, 190 t j 10 WHITNEY IS LECAL NOMINEE Father of Jin. N. P. Dode, Jr., Wint in Bay State Tight. DEMOCRATS' MAN FOR GOVXRNOB. Dallnt Law rommluian, After Dellb rrallif on (he qorttlon, De rlarri Mr. flhlUfr the Standard Bearer. Henry M. Whitney, father of Mrs. N. P. rrvlff. Jr.. of Omaha, was declared the l-'irnl nominee of the domocratlc party of lssnchusntts for governor by the ballot law cnminlBRlnn. He hB bpn campatg-n-Iwr ever since the convention several weeks iko ns If he was the party'a representative, iHrvlnr the acts of the Bartlett supporters would never be upheld. A message was received by Mr. Dodge Saturday telling of Ilia decision. At the time of the convention the Bartlett supporters, who were allied to the Hearst element and who had control of the demo cratic machinery of Massachusetts, were opposing the. merger of the New Haven Hartford and the Boston A Maine roads, and backed their campaign slogan with a di-monotratlon that will go on record as one of the liveliest of Its kind In the party his tory of the bny state. Charles F. Bartlett. who 'htmsolf 's a rather mild-mannered man. kept In the background at the con vention, but Ms supporters more than made up for his attitude. A congressman of the state presided and yet It Is said that an or ganized pnng of toughs, among whom a number of Boston pugilists were recognized, Assisted In preserving the majority of tho Itartlett forces until a few of the Whitney men could get 'n the hall and nominate their candidate. Mr. Dodge, who has been following the case closely, raid Saturday the convention lias never before been equalled In Massa chusetts for the tactics pursued. The Bart lett men were admitted to the hall at Springfield by red tickets and the Whitney men by blue tickets. Whitney men were subjected to all manner of delay In ex changing their tickets for reserved seat checks and were subjected to other Incon veniences, while holders of red tickets were passed hi and even rushed through. The Bartlett in pushed their business and liac the ticket mmed by noon, and when at 2 o'clock, 125 of the -Whitney men were Inside, they wore obliged to hold a second convention, which they did with more than half their delegates still outside clamoring for admission. Many never got Inside the hull at all. One nominee of the Bartlett forces, put up for lieutenant governor, declined the ltnnor and withdrew from the ticket. VOTES TO COME IN MONDAY Ballots on Commercial dab Quarters Will lie Canvansed First of Week. Votes of members of the Commercial club on the proposition to enlarge the quarters of the club or erect a modern building, will begin to come Into the office of the commissioner Monday morning and the executive committee expects to can vass the vote at Its meeting Tuesday.

Whatever else the club may decide to do, it is certain to enlarge and Improve Its rooms and add every club feature which tlio organizations of business men have In larger cities. It Ik the plan of the club to make the social features of the organization attrac tive to the younger men of the city, who would otherwise be interested in purely social ?lubs, and not give much ofjtfielr energy to boosting Omaha. Under such a plan the Commercial club will become a training school for boosters, the younger men taking up the spirit of those older ones who have been in the harness for a number of years. The cafe fratur of the club will be extended and meals sered at all hours of the day. TWO BRANDS OF HONESTY One Is (iennlne Nebraska Sort, the Other la the Chicago Kind. A man edged timidly up to the ticket window of the Burlington station yester day. Pussenger Director Joe Mlk spied him und tapping hlra on the shoulder told him lie would have to take hla place at the end of the lung line if he wanted to get a ticket' "No, I don't want a ticket," explained the man, "but the ticket seller gave me two rents too much change and I'm Juat hand ing It back." Mr. Mlk turned his face away and smiled broadly. "Honesty la a fine thing," he said, "but we don't often And them as honest as that man. "The porter In the barber shop found a line ring - a couple of months ago. He brought it to me and In about a week a pr.Ktsl card came from a man In Chicago asking if we had found the ring. I wrote hack and told him to send a description of the ring. He described It all right and said as soon as ho received the ring he would i send the porter to for his honesty. We sent the ring by express, but the porter hasn't seen anything of that $5." JJNE REALLY OPENS MONDAY Street Car Tracks from Farasai ( Camlig on Fortieth Ready at Last.

Gordon, Hopelessly Afflicted, Works for Hla Own Livelihood. With his back broken from a fall off a train sis years ago John A, Gordon Is In Omaha trying by his own hands to earn money to provide himself a cottage here and thus escape life In a hospital or other charitable institution, and at the same time free his family from the trouble and ex pense of his care. Gordon's injury was received In 1901 at a' small town In Minnesota, and for a long time his case seemed hopeless, but surgical science succeeded In saving his Ufa, though he ia entirely helpless from the waist down. He manages to move around by the use of a velocipede and has become skillful In the making of crocheted wear. By the sale of crocheted slippers and Infants' and women's wear he hopes to be able to raise the $300 necessary to provide a small cot tage for himself. Gordon has also published a book telling of his mishap and his life since and is disposing of copies to help swell the fund. He also acts as agent for certain publica tions. A woman of philanthropic disposi tion has subscribed for I&0 worth of shares in a building and loan association for Gor don and he hopes by diligent work to bo able to make the monthly payments. When he secures the money he expects to buy a small cottage and move It upon a tract of ground he will be allowed to use and will establish himself there. Ills book, made up chiefly of newspaper clippings, tells of the horror of his situa tion and of the troubles of a worthy crip ple when forced to accept public charity In almshouses and Jails. Mr. Gordon is now living at 2419 South Twenty-fourth street. GIRL WHO CANNOT BE FOOLED She la Onto Everything- A roan '1 Hotel bat the "I" Let ter Box.

I'm not going to bite, but tell me what the Joke is," she said. "The Joke is simply this," he replied with some fervor, "1 want my mall and you're going to make me miss my train.
