Sayi Won't Stand for It
HOW ITS DONE IN OMAHA
From Our Near Neighbors
ST. LOUIS, Mo. March 3.
(Special Telegram.) John Purroy
Mitchel of New York and James C.
Dahlman, "cowboy" mayor of Omaha,
last night exchanged verbal shots In
a rapid-fire skirmish on national pre
paredness at a meeting in Mayor
Kiel's office of the executive commit
tee of mayors to outline plans for
the national defense conference of
mayors which will open tomorrow
morning.
Mayor Dahlman charged Mayor
Mltctaol with a "frame-up" when
the New York executive asked per
mission to read for approval by the
committee a resolution he Bald he ex
pected to submit to the convention.
"I object to you fellows bringing us
fellows down here to approve some
thing framed up for us," Mayor
Dahlman declared. "Let everybody
buy some checks In this game. If
everything Is framed, let's go home
before we begin.
11 err In play Rail.
"t enme hero to piny bull. I did not
roino here to approve a typewritten
frame-up. 1 am wllllns to throw my
hand In the deck when the cards have
been dralt openly anil the convention
Itself panned on the questions."
Mayor MJ tenet explained he only
wanted to outline a definite plan for tho
convention amnion 1n the shape of a reso
lution. "My mistake," ho said, "probably
was In dictating my thoughts to a tenon
rapher on the train and having- them
typewritten Instead of writing- out the
document myself In long hand."
"We are all free to take," yelled the
cowboy. "There la no use disguising
nnythintt. We have all been to conven
tions and we have all seen typewritten
frameups to control the convention and
they usually delivered the goods."
Several other mayors Interrupted and
risked Mayor Kiel as chairman to ad
xlfe Mayor Mitchel to read hia resolution.
The Omaha War.
"You fellows have your Way of dolus
things In your country," was Dahlman a
doflnnce.
"But we have a way of doing things In
Omaha that's different. This nation Is
nervous because It Is not prepared to
cross swords with any of tho warring
nations and that Is the problem that the
people want us to solve. We ought to
do It without flourishes or frameups."
The matter finally was put to vote and
Mayor Mitchel waa allowed to read hla
resolution.
Dahlman caueed laughter when, after
hearing It, he said It waa "an awfully
tame affair."
Mayor Thompson of Chicago with a
party of 100 is expected Friday morn
