THF. OMAHA SUNDAY BEK: ATRIL Z 1909. A ' OMAHA NEEDS A NEW MAYOR Seaiona for Getting Rid of Jim Axe Mtny and Plain, TRUTH TOLD TO THE CITIZENS peakera at Wa.alartaa Hall Rallr Tnlmt Oat Maw Cllr Haa Sal fered Mrlklejoka Talka to Boeeters. Interest never flagged t the republican rally held In Washington hall Friday, and. though the speskere several tiroes Intimated that they had better brim their remarki to a clone, cries of "no on" from tha Interested auditor kept them on the platform, and It was near midnight before the meeting adjourned. The gallery In the large hall had to he opened to ic rnmmoriatc the crowd and only a few left before the meeting cloaed at the late hour. Addresses were made by George D. Metk eljohn, former assistant secretary of war; Harry B. Zimman, member of tne council for the last nine years; 8. A. Sea'rla and John P. Breen. the republican nominee for mayor. John U Kennedy presided, and aeveral campaign aongi were given by the Breen Booaters' quartet. Three Parties la Omaka. 'There are three political partlea In Omahg," said Mr. Bearle. "First and fore most, th largest and victorious over all, is the republican party. Second, following the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson and of the almon pure democratic brand, are the Jscksonlan democrats, numbering about l.fcOU, whom you and I believe will rote the republican ticket this spring. Third, we have the Dahlman brand, the Jim brand. If you please, of democracy. "This last named so-called democracy has cantered up and down the last three years on a bucking broncho until it has made Omaha the laughing stork of the country. Thirty years ago, when I first came to the state, a man from Omaha was as good as any other. But now comes a man with a lariat and we don't know where we stand in the estimation of our fellows. "Why do these false prophets with their false platforms on which they have never stood and never Intend to stand, govern the affairs of this city? Do you mean to tell me that Mayor Jim and Ig. Dunn ran do any more good than can repub licans who mean what they say, say what they mean, and live up to their platform? If you were a member of a company would yoj eleot this man whh the lariat rope and midnight gyfatlona as president of your company? No, you know you wouldn't." Tarty anal Principles. Mr. Mrikcljolin talked largely on party principles and nuked his hearers to vote the party ticket and redeem the city, con gressional district and state. The former war secretary said he was glad he had at lust made his home In Omaha, but that he would enjoy ills residence In thla city bet ter If the city hnd a better administration. "A party Is made up of principles; can didates are but the exponents of those principles," said Mr. Melkeljohn. "The re publican party Is a party of principles, and we come to you tonight as the party of Lincoln of Grant, of Blaine and of Taft. And we come to you as a party with men and I uee that word with emphasis and In the fullest meaning as standard-bearers. "But how Is It w;h the democratic party? "With the democrats the candidate la primary: the principle of secondary Import , ante. They ssy on their placards: 'Three more jears of Mayor Jim,' but they say nothing of principles. They have picked i 'Jim' as their star, hut he la not a atar . of the first magnitude and he will soon pass away. "What we want In Omaha la an honest, decent, clean business administration, and with that you will see this city grow to become one of the largest between the At lsntlc and the Pacific oceans and between Canada and the anilf." Politics aaal Personal Liberty. Mr. Rreen touched again on the temper ance question, denying the persistent state ments made by the opposition that he be lieves In strelct prohibition and secretly gloats over th enactment of the 8 o'clock closing law. He also called up the demo cratic pledge of three years ago to give the people all personal liberty possible and reminded his hearers that it was a demo cratic legislature that killed this very pr vonal liberty, closing by showing that the republican party has always been the party of personal rights. "The republican party was horn In a struggle for pernonal rights and is the varty that has given you every degree of personal liberty you now enjoy," said the mayoralty nominee. "It whs the republi can party that In 1SS2 placed upon the statute bonks of this state the Slocumb law, which up to the time of the late lamented legislature sustained the most efficacious of the liquor traffic. It waa the republican party which has ever defended your Interests. "This Slocumb law. the work of the re publican rarty. ia of vital Interest to every one of you and it must be retained. We have hud one fight on this topic and another one. how soon we don't'know. will come. It may be next year, it may ha later, but when U does come you don't want men who wtl go hlatherikltlng nround leaving harm in their trail, but you want tnen of convictions and with high motives. "1 stand for that acntlment that upholds civic pride and virtue for what T believe the best citizenship of this city stand for. for what you stand for. and against the Dahlman brand of democracy. It la a marvelous fa-t that this city, ranking eighth or ninth in cammeretal Importance with the other cities of the country, known from Maine to California, has not sufficient pride to have a nisn In t!ie mayor's chair tyr'eal t it oHIienship." for the Home Onifn, Mr. Zimman talked earnestly on local questions and of interest of the moment. He exhibited a number of extracts from official records of the present council, quoted many of the birken platform pledgee the democrats mudr three years ago, and hawed that the democrats are not and have not safeguarded the interests of the city. The facts he gae were of filial and ha challenges any member of the present city officialdom to controvert them. Mr. Zimman told how the democratic paper characterised him as "the custodian of the democratic platform." by reason of his frequent reading of it to his colleagues to get them 10 vote as they had promised; how he had been compelled to protest gainst the weekly visits to the council chamber of paving contractors who act ually hugged councilmen they tat in their official seats; and how the democrats hod been utterly unable to paaa any bene ficial legislation without the one vote cast by the one republican member. "I plead with you to do your duty, not s a republican, nut as a democrat, not as a socialist, but as a taxpayer, as a home owner, as a patriotic citizen, to go to the polls on election day and vote tiie republican ticket straight, and turn out thia democratic administration which in 'wasting the city's money and playng hand and glove with the corporations," said Mr. Zimman. George r. Meiklejohn and llsrry Zim ma were the principal speakers at the meeting of the Breen Boosters, held last night In the Fontsnelle club rooms. Mr. Melklejohn'a address was a strong and earnest appeal to the young men of the city to vote for John P. Breen for mayor. He referred to those men. many of whom are atlll alive, who voted for Abraham Lincoln and have since then always voted the republican ticket, lie briefly outlined the history of that party In administering the affaire of the nation and said that the men who hsve stood with that party during all the years have ho need to go back and amend thir rec ord, as they have nothing to apologise for. Referring to local cordttlons. he said: "The party of Jefferson and Jscksr.ii Is under an eclipse in On-aha. A new star haa arisen In the democracy, though It will not last long. "We now have Pahlmsn and a Daltlman democracy. Instead of the democracy of Jefferson and Jackson. Thia party h.n their candidate first and principles sec ondary, instead jrf putting principles flrrt and the man secondary. "But the people have Hwakened from their Hip Van Winkle sleep and are alive to national and municipal Issues. They art looking for men of backbone and Integrity. This is what the republican ticket offers. We leave buffoonery and opera buffe to some rne else. We offer you a man. A man of ability, capacity and integrity, one who will see that the Interests or the cltl serui and taxpayers are carefully guarded. Effect Far Reach lac "Vote the republican ticket and you will help to redeem Omaha, and not only Omaha, but the Second congressional dis trict, and the state of Nebraska, and yoj will also help to place a republican in the senate two years from now." Mr. Melkeljohn also paid a tribute to Nelson C. Pratt, candidate for city attor ney. Harry Zimman made a thoughtful ad dress, quoting many figures to show the lie of Omaha as a, business corporation, and pointed out the necessity for selecting competent business men to conduct the af fairs of the municipality properly. The meeting closed with a unanimous vote endorsing George Craig, candidate lor city engineer. Burglar and His Victim Both Miss Council Bluffs Man Target for Bullets and He Fires in Return Police Still Looking. At midnight Friday, while sleeping In an tipper bedroom at hia home, his wife belin ill and In a hospital. B. II. Ouren, 31!t Park avenue. Council Bluffs, was disturbed by a noise, and on raising up on one elbow he hecnnie the target of three bullets. One penetrated his nightshirt, one glanced from the rail at the head of his bed nnd the third sunk in the wall at the side of his ear. The burglar showed some dealre to fly thene", and Mr. Ouren, who was by that time somewhat aroused, reached undc his pillow nnd pulled out a 44-callbre Coll he had deposited with war In view. But as he had never taken a medal on a tsrget range one of hla bullets imbedded Itself In the Jamb of the folding doer and the other smashed the hinge of the kitchen door as Mr. Bad Man dissolved Into vacuity. An Inventory of the wreckage disclosed the contents of the, bureau drawers well shuffled, but still present and accounted for, and Ouren's cpjdermls unscarred, but he will be obliged to engaae a plasterer and a carpenter to efface the results of the near tragedy. "It sounds nice to listen to it, no doubt,' exclaimed Mr. Ouren, "but ycu ought to have been there." Hadley Measure Meets Defeat Missouri Kills Bill to Tax Corpora tion Capital Stock State Needs Funds. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo April :4.-The house today defeated a measure taxing corporations 26 cents for each 11,000 of capitalization. A companion bill failed in the senate last week.

Governor Hadley said that the present revenue laws will yield an Income of J8.O00.. 000 for the next two years, while the needs of the state will total Jll.OOO.ono.
