ALDRICII GIVES
PLATFORM IN HIS
ItACEJOl) JUDGE
Former Governor' Announces
That He Believes His Legal
and Legislative Experience
Fits Him for the Office.
' . (From Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Neb, June 1, (Special).
Former Governor Chester H. Aldrich
has entered the nomination for jus
tice of the supreme court and has
made hit filing. Like Judge F. G.
Hamer, he hai not received the en
dorsement of the bar association but
goes In on the broad principle that
the whole people and' not any particu
lar organization has the right to se
lect their supreme judges. Mr. Al
drich makes the following announce
ment: "Following a well established cus
tom, I take this method by way of a
... publie letter to announce my can
v didaey for the office of judge of, the
supreme court of our state.
- I have been engaged in the actual
practice of law in Nebraska for 25
years, excepting the period when I
served as governor of this state.
"I have always ' been identified
prominently with state affairs, and
have taken special interest in seeing
N that the welfare of the state was ad
vanced by the enactment and en
forcement of progressive laws.
"It was my privilege while serving
as state senator to frame and 'assist
in framing many measures of much
importance to this state, such as
out two-cent fare law, and other
measures of a similar nature, some
of which I afterwards as called up
on todefend in the federal and circuit
, courts of the United States. 1
"I believe that my legal and ex
ecutive experience with the large
affairs pertaining to Nebraska's wel
fare, qualities me to nil this position
acceptably to the people of Nebraska.
I am in the prime of life, and enjoy
' ing vigorous health, which is an im
' portant qualification in the arduous
and confining duties of a supreme
- judge. '' v-
"As I will be out of the state from
June IS to September 1, engaged in
- giving. a series of lectures in behalf
of the government's activities in
prosecuting this war, I take this
method of announcing my candidacy
and thus leave the same largely in
the hands of my friends."

- tion as they could be expected to
call a halt' at the' Marne.
Thf allies must now be prepared
' either to see the offensive resumed In
the north soon, continued General
Bridges, or else to see German divi
sions from the north sent down to ex.
ploit the new success. v
May Continue for Week.
The battle, hi continued, is likely
to continue tor weeks and Decome a
long-drawn-out struggle of man power
with the first duty of the allies to
husband their .resources by giving
ground for men, where possible.
In concealing their preparation! so
" as to make a surprise attack, General
Bridges said, the Germans were aided
probably by four factors: Their pre
ponderating number of divisions; a
good railway system; the proximity
of woods to their first objectives
where large numbers of troops could
be concealed and the fact that this
. front Ions had been organized for
attack, . v. . ' h -; . .

OMAHA GENIUS MAKES 'CONEY'
Amusiment Park Wizards of Wonderland ''
of New York Started in Game in Gate City
GREAT PLAYGROUND OF WORLD
Coney Island, the great summer
playground of New York City, was
the legatee of much of the genius
that went to make the Transmissis
sippi exposition the pioneer festal
event in which the lavish use of elec
tricity and great spectacles made up
the dominant features.
-Fred Thompson and Scipio Dundy
Omaha boys, were the .creators of
Luna park, which from its natal
day to the present time is considered
the acme of perfection among the
amusement resorts of the world.
One of tie denizens of Luna park,
one who looms largely among the
creative geniuses who make that spot
a fair land of light and a wirard land
of wonders, is Hugh Thomas of Oma
ha, who won his spurs in the game
of making electric lights perform
wonders by the use of trick-scenery
and lighting effects at the Transmis
sissippi exposition. He is a brother
of Charlie Thomas of The Bee, and
during Omaha's great carnival was
assistant electrician to Henry Rustin.
After the Omaha experience
Thomas went to Buffalo, where he
lighted the exposition there. v
New York was the next beneficiary
of his genius and each year he has
produced some new and novel specta
cle to awe or entrance the countless
visitors to that great "hot dog" mart
of the universe, Coney Island.
Mr. Thomas thtj year has the two
big, outstanding spectacles of the is
land. Both are remarkable in their
realism and magnitude. They are
panoramic spectacles of "Over There"
and "The Submarines."
"Over There" is an outdoor affair,
showing an expanse of three miles of
the European battlefront and a dis
tance of 12 miles. In the range are
four villages, three in the distance
and one in the foreground. There
are trains bringing up' troops, sup
plies and ammunition. You can
catch a movement of the' troops go
ing forward in the trenches. Sup
ply transports and hospital ambul
lances are seen going across an im
provised bridge. Sentries can. be
seen doing patrol duty before the
headquarters of officers. The sound
of shells is distinctly heard, while an
occasional one is seen to fall in one
of the villages. The shell-torn ground
is lined with deep holes. In the
spectacle Thomas has made it possi
ble for the hordes of eastern amuse
ment seekers to see the hell of bat
tle almost as it is "Over There."
Another Omaha man who started at
the Transmississippi and who is now
on of the big showmen of Coney Is
land, is M. D. Cooney, who, because
of his initials is known familiarly as
"Doc." He is one of the old timers
at the park and still conducts the
baby incubator show, one of the
famous features of Omaha's exposi
tion. He did not invent the baby
incubator, the Chinese having beat
him to it by nearly a thousand years,
but he was the first man' to make the
people of America familiar with the
institution and coin it into dimes and
dollars.
