Miss Bolotlne gath ered ia forty-nine months the education POLITICAL ADVERTISING. POLITICAL ADVERTISING. John J. Ryder Candidate for Commissioner At Election to be held Tuesday, May 7 I assert that indorsements from any source do not change the man. His daily life among his fellow work ers, and in the sight of his friends and neighbors, must indicate whether he is a good or a bad citis?n. As State Statistician and Labor Commisionor, under an unsolicited appointment from Governor Shel don, I had official dealings with many business men of Omaha. Let them say whether or not I was courteous and fair. As a member of the Public Library Board, I will let the librarian and the other directors say whether or not I have been faithful, efficient and willing to work. For a quarter of a century I have given as freely as a wage-earner could of my time and money to real, practical welfare work. My efforts may not come under the head of great service but they were exer cised freely and earnestly, without hope of pay or reward. I have been paid a substantial salary as a news paper man to gather statistics and dig out facts con cerning Omaha's municipal affairs, for special articles, as well as in the ordinary course of the day's work. Thus I have learned where the present system is weak, and have pointed out to interested parties where the commission form can be strong. I claim to be equipped by experience and training to go to work at once as a commissioner, intelligently and effectively. All the interests I have in the world are anchored here my family, my home and one other piece of property. I am FOE OMAHA absolutely, sincerely and with out pledge or promise of any land, to any person or body. With no powerful family or financial connection, I ask your support on my knowledge of city affairs, on my ability to do things, and on my standing as a man of good credit and decent, useful life. Trained newspaper men, wherever entrusted with public office, have "made good." I have a pride in my profession that will impel me to strive for a record of good work honestly done. I wear no man's collar, whether he be high or low. I will be OMAHA'S MAP all the time. JOHN J. EYDEL.
