AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA
Still Somewhat Out of Repair, Dem
ocratic Machine is Out Again.
ATTEMPT MADE TO ROLL CHIZEK
Incline Fault Tilth the Deputy
Countr Clerk, lint the Talk
Aunlnat Mini la Cnnalil
err it I.nnahnblc
Wonted over the continues unity among
republicans of South Omaha, the demo
cratic machine, rickety and nattered from
last spring, has been brought Into action
ngaln for the spring campaign, when a
number of school directors are to be
elected.
The democratic machine In the last bat
tle got the worst drubbing ever given at
the hands of tho local republicans. The
cause was the strons organization among
the republicans who stood solidly to
gether while the democrats conducttd en
Internecine war.
This tine the old methods have Iwsen
resurrected to ret the old machine Into
shape. Jamos Chlzck, deputy rounty
clerk, has been selected for the first at
tack. Some republican Is supposed to
have found fault with Chtsek, because he
has held office for so long. Chlzek Is
also supposed to nourish political ambi
tions, according to the story of ther dem
ocratic mach'ne. nut tho plan did not
work and republicans generally laughed
at the attempt yesterday when discuss
ing the matter. Chizefc Is regarded as cne
lot the strongest men In Douglas county
and among the republicans of South
! Omaha he holds a first-class rating.
; Of the attempt to Injure Chlzek's !epu
; tatlon as a party worker In South Omiha,
: It. C. Murphy, president of the republican
I club, said yesterday:
; "Of course, this talk against Chitek Is
j puerile to any one who knows republican
"Kings m South Omaha. There Is no
ucllcr worker In South Omaha reptibll
CMn aff"lrs than he and whatever notice
nis party has given comes rl?htly. Ch'xek
Has been secretary of the republican club
for years. Ho was one of the associates
of George McBrlde, late county surveyor,
to whom South Omaha men could always
look for assistance.
"Chlzck has always served the local
republicans and any one who knows any
thing about republican polities In tho
county knows that he has refused to be
mentioned as a candidate for county clerk
as long as Frank Dowey, present county
clerk, cares to run. There's nothing to
this report of Chlzek wanting to be county
clerk or county chairman. Kvery repub
llcan in South Omaha knows that Jim
Chlzek In always ready to aid him In
county court ,matters."
Chlzek Just laughed about the matter.
"I'm for Dewey first, last and all the
time," he said, speaking of the county
clerk's Job.
