Barlow, president of the Omaha Water board, and a member of it since it was organised ten years airo, ever since havlns been active In the flht for possession of the waterworks, haa formally declined to be a candidate for th republican nomination for an other term, on a petition signed and c r culated by his friends. And In making his declination he lias given his em phatic recommendation that Fred D. Wead be elected to succeed lin aa a republican- and that l. J. O Brim be elected to succeed himself aa a democrat, both being In harmony with the past action of the board, which was last en doreed at the bond election last August by a vqte of twelve to one, and pledged to continue Its policy. Mr. Barlow lias written this letter to I Ihe World-Herald expressing his views; j "As I am now retiring after several I years of service upon the wster boarj, 1 have a very Intense Interest In the success of the waterworks sfter It is taken over by th city, and I am deeply concerned In th men who are to com pose th water board. Every member should not only! be an honest but a cap able man. My twenty-seven years' clos business acquaintance with F. P. Wead lead me to reoommend him as a man well qualified to be a member of th water board. It was this same estimate of him by bis friends and th friends o: municipal ownership of th water plant that led them to persuade him to be come a candidate.' I bellave th repub Means of this city should nominate Wead. "My association with U. J. O'Brien on th water board and my knowledge of his character and fitness for the place fully Justifies m In recommending that th democrats should return O'Brien. He haa always protected th Interests of the city In this matter. , , "Th books of the water company, to which we have only recently had access. show a gross Incoma. of nearly three quarters of a million dollars per year. In th hands of competent business msn th waterworks .will be a splendid asset for Omaha.. It would b unwise to let th water plant get out of th control of men who favored Its purchase and who favor municipal ownership. I be- liev our Interest In tha welfare of th city shoul lead us to work for the nom ination and tltutlon of these two men." Adv. i'OLlTU'.U.
