FORMING A NEW TACT CLUB Judge Eatrlle Is Recovering from Hie Recent Sickness avnd Ex pert. Soon to Be Able to Be at Work. Crltlolsm of the democratic members of the Board of County Commissioners for taking a voting machine from the city building to Metz hall for use in instruct ing Bohemian voters Sunday is heard fre quently on the streets. The democratic board members still have nothing to say regarding the re moval of the machine. Which of them gave the order is not known, but tt is known that the order was given with the approval of all four. Their refusal to ex plain the action Is taken as a confestlon that it was unwarranted. Critics ssy If a machine should be taken to Thirteenth ana wimam streets for tbe benefit of voters, there is no reason why all the machines should not be distributed about the city and professors assigned to teach the people how to vote. The machine which myrteriouslv was taken from the city hall Saturday was at Met hall Sunday and its workings were explained to many voters. The ex plaining was done by Owen Slaven. Why the voters could not go to the city hail for Instruction, as other voters do, has not been explained. There has been con slderable hinting that the explanation of the machine's workings as given to the aonemians is not exaotly like the ex planation as given at the city ball and in the court bouse.

M CLUPE TALKS ON THE TARIFF Tells Ad Clel. the Reasoa bep Grower Are Aaetnst th Pro. poif.1 RiaMl"u lu tbe Tariff on Wool. The meetlnr of the National Wool Growers' association In Omaha, Peomhr 14. IS and 16. will be one big protest against the proposed reduction tn the wool tsriff this winter, according to W. S. MoClure of -Gooding. Ifla.. secre tary of the association. "We are gnlnvr to tnlk about the tirlff " nld Mi. M-Cl.u-n. in r alflieM to the Omaha Ad club.it the Paxton Monday. ' It Isn't the tantf that make the rri"e of clothes so high This suit I am scar ing cost me $40 and the wool grower got only a. 67 for the wool there Is In It. "But reduction In the tariff will ruin the wool men. of which there are .( tn the country.' "We are coming to Omaha because our sheep market hrn has the best f.irilities cf any in the country, bevaueo Omaha Is the central point for sll tho wool men In the country, l.irere and small, and because the prosperity of Omaha and that . of the western wool country are largely Interdependent. Last fall I snw whole trainloads if Nebraska corn going . to the we,t to feed our shfep." Mnny Wool Men I'sperted. Oiscuseing the convention after the Ad club's meeting with a reporter for The Ree, Mr McClure said: "We expei" to have between 2, OX) and 2.o1 men at the convention, due to the In terest of the wool growers In the tsriff and to the fact that It Is a queMion that concerns the smaller flookniastevs of the middle west and the east as well as the owners of the big flocks In the west. In Iowa . alone there are 4I.CW owners of sheep. Ohio Is s big sheep state. I have letters from men as far east as Vermont, saying thev will come for the convention Our propram, too. will be attractive to the small f.'ockniaHer. "Secretary of the Interior Fisher has tentatively promised to make an address and we have positive acceptances frum Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Hays, Chief Forester Graves, Senator Borah of Iduho and Senator Dixon of Montana Former Governor Gooding of Idaho will be here. "My f!0 suit, as I said, brought the wool grower only 11.67. and the manufac turer got only 14 80 for the three and one half yards of cloth required to make it So tt is plain that the tariff has almost, nothing to do with the price paid by the consumer. "If the tariff Is reduosd. we cannot compete with t?outh American wool. Tbe freight on 100 pounds of scoured wool from the west to Boston is . W 80; the freight on the same quantity from Buenos Ayres to Boston Is only 80 cents. Besides this, the western grower - pays his employes 40 to P0 a month, with board, while the Argentina rancher pays liis employes 111 a month, without board." Mr. McClure is here to confer with the Commercial club committee In- chsrge of srrangementa for the national shep show, which will be held tn connection with the convention.
