Drunkenness of Judges and clerks of
etectlon of the second precinct of the
First ward, Omaha, delayed counting and
tabulation of the vote In that precinct
for more than, twenty-four hours. Clydo
Sundblad. clerk of the county court: City
Commissioner A. a Kugel, Morris Milder
and others helped the Judges and clerks
unravel the tangle Wednesday nlgnt and
the official returns of the precinct were
made to County Clerk Frank Dewey this
morning.
Still Hunt for Hip Kc.
Before the school district and city bal
lot boxes could be opened and tho vote
counted at night. It was necessary to go
to the home of Charles Lemmo. one of
the Judges. The election officials remain
ing at the voting plaoe, 809 Pacific street,
said Lemme had the keys and had pons
home drunk.
At 6 o'clock Wednesday night the count
of the general election vote had not been
completed. Persons who visited the voting
place found the election officials there
almost helpless. Ballots were strewn over
the tables and on the floor. Some of the
ballots were torn In two.
Possible Itcmls of Contests.
Muddle of tho ballots will afford an
excellent basis for a contest If the race
for any office Is close enough for the
total vote of the precinct to alter the
general result
Charles Lemmo and J. II. Cornoran,
democrats, and David Tons, Leslie Moore
and EH L. Barry, republicans, were thd
Judges and clerks of electlo-t In the Sec
ond of the First. Lemme, Tong and
Barry were most under the Influence
when outsiders name to the assistance of
the election board.- Moore had been drink
ing, but was able to handle himself.
Cornoran does not drink, but hn Is an
old man and was unablo to cope with
, the situation. Moore was appointed to
serve In place of W. O. Helnrlchs, who
J failed to appear for service on the pre
clnot election board.
Distress Cnll Sonndetl.
At about 6 o'clock Wednesday night
Ttobert Smith, clerk of the district court,
, was notified by telephone that the, elec
tion board In the Second of the First
was the worse for liquor. He telephoned
Clydo Sundblad, who lives not far from
the voting place. Commissioner Kugcl
also was notified. Sundblad and Kugel
reached the polling place shortly after 6
o'clock. The election board members
were making no progress. They were at
work, but to no purpose. The tally book
was blotted, evidently because the pages
hnd been turned without first applying
blotting paper. Ballots were scattered
on the tables: some were on the floor
under the feet of the election officials.
Milder and others had Just arrived, but
had not finished straightening out the
ballots.
The election officials accepted aid
willingly. With the assistance of Milder
und several other outsiders the count on
the general election vote was completed.
Rundblad and Kugel offered to assist In
counting the school district and city elec
tion ballots. Ixjnimo had gone home with
the keys to the ballot boxes, the other
officials sold. One of the officials, ac
companied by a policeman, went to
Lemme's house and got the keys.
The policeman said the officials had
had beer on the tables during the after
noon. Smith Rnuata (hp System.
Ttobert Smith, who by the law Is re
quired to appoint Judges and clerks of
election, his choice being restricted to
names on lists furnished him by chair
men of the county political committees,
said:
"I know nothing about It. I did not
visit the precinct. All I could tell would
be what was reported to me. I warn
you to be careful about publishing such
it story."
Pressed for Information, -ir. Smith ad
mitted It had been reported to him tnat

some election offlolats of the precinct
were drunk. He said he didn't know of
his own knowledge whether they were
drunk or not.
Mr. Smith availed himself of tho op
portunity to expose the weakness of the
present system of naming election boards.
"No public official Is responsible for
the oharacter of the election officials."
he said. "The clerk of the district court
has to appoint them, but ho Is not freo
to appoint whom he chooses. If he were
probably he would secure capable men,
knowing that If there should be any
trouble he would be held responsible.
The clerk must make the appointments
from lists submitted to him by the po
litical committee chairman. He" cannot
go outside these lists. Many of these
names he doesn't know; he doesn't know
whether they aro capable, reliable men
or not. When the time comes that some
public official Is charged with the duty
of naming the election boards and Is given
an unrestricted choice of the citizens for
this work these troubles will be prac-
flcally unheard of."

Headed by James II. Itanley. cam
paign manager for C. O. Lobeck. a band
of Ivobeck henchmen found Tong, Cor
noran and Moore in the city hall, scored
them mercilessly for their actions while
on duty and then required them to sign
affidavits purporting to set out all that
occurred In the polling place.
The Lobeck men found the election of
ficials when they went to tho city build
lng to turn in registration books and bal
lot boxes. The officials were rushed to a
private room, where the affidavits were
signed.
Tong, Cornoran and Moore came from
the room nervous and badly frightened.
They sold the affidavits set out that the

Department Heads
of Orkin Brothers
Gather at Banquet
Department co-operation wus the key
note of several talks made at a banquet
of seventy department heads of the Orkln
Bros." Htore, held at lliu Home hotel last
evening. W. 31. Robinson, manager of
the piano -department, who now Is con
ducting one of the largest piano sales
ever held in Omahu, presided as toast
master and called upon M. 10. Orkln, Q.

Aftec Mr. Vreston had brought out the
co-oncratlon topic, tho other speakers
dwelt on this subject, and' relnfoiced tfie
arguments that he had made, showlilg
how the forces could ro-operuto In many
other ways to the great advantage of tin
big store.
Mr. McCarrlck of New York, who Is In
charge of the giant piano sali that Is now
being, held at the Orkin store, spoke on
"Enthusiasm In Salesmanship." 'The
manager who imbues himself with the
spirit of the times," said Mr. McCar
rlck, "Is the one who not only sells
goods, but uIho receives the appreciation
of his superiors. An enthusiastic man
ager spreads tho spirit and feeling to
others, those employed miner nun, aim
Carrlck, oxpert saleH manager from New
York, and a number of othern for short
addresfes.
Mr. Preston, whose addra.s was made
early In the evening, spoke of the neces
sity of department co-operutlon If the
owners were to get the full value of their
money, both from the advertising and
from the clerk service. He pointed out
that an efficient clerk, one who kept
posted on the dally advertisements of
the store, would be able to sell goods
that were, not In his particular depart
ment, through being able to tell a custo
mer, who came to him, where certain
other bargains were being given at tho
time, lie would be able to drop a hint
about certain goods, on sale In another
part of the store, and Inform hts visitor
that these were really godd values, ob
taining, probably, only mr a short time.
Mr. Preston argued that co-operation
among the various departments among
their heads and their forces would bring
a higher degree of service, and at the
same time Increase tho efficiency and
selling power of the clerks many per
cent. He continued his remark's to ex
plain that no stoie received full value
from Its clerks unless these employes
had a wide range of knowledge regarding
many other departments of the storo. A
good clerk, he sa(d. was not only one
who simply knew thoroughly,,!)!) own de
partment, but one who was airly well
posted on the goods and advantages in

The result is the continually growing
and satisfied patronage."
Mr. Hoblnson, In a few remarks, told
the gathering that the, piano' business of
Orkln Brothers was ono of the largest
growing departments of the store und
that the saten In It ranked high among
those of any piano or department store
In the west. He also told of the scope
of tho present big and of the many
advantages It uttered to peTsons who
wish to place un Instrument in their homo
or who wish to get a new pluno to take
the place of the one they now have.
BIG TRAFFIC IN GRAIN AND
COAL NOW. SAYS BYRAM
Vice President nyram of the Burling
ton was In town between trains on his
way from Chicago to Lincoln, where he
has gone on a short visit with friends.
While here he stated that the car short-'
age continues without much prospect of
relief until the. time when the cars lined
up along the Atlantic coast loaded with
export stulf are released.
Mr. Byrom sees a large movement of
grain during the next few weeks and i
correspondingly large movement of roal.
but If the cars londed with export stuff
are held at coast points could be i-lean-d
the loads generally would havo
sufficient freight cars to take care of the
business, he says.
