RED CLOUD MAN
FILES PETITIONS
FOR METCALFE
Eighteen Documents Placed in
Charge of Secretary of
State Asking That
Omahan Run.
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Neb., July 16. (Special.)
Petitions from 18 counties with about
2,700 names thereon asking that the
name of Richard L. Metcalfe of Om
aha, be placed on the primary ballot
as a candidate for the democratic
nomination for the United States sen.
ate, were filed with the secretary of
state this afternoon by Bernard Mc-
Xeny, of Webster county. No ac
ceptance accompanied he petitions,
but it is believed that Mr. Metcalfe
will accept.
Mr. McXcny stated that this would
rive the democrats a chance to nom
inate a 100 per cent candidate if they
wanted one.
R. B. Howell and R. L. Metcalfe are
in political brown studies. Their
brows are furrowed, indicating deep
thought.
Mr. Howell's state of mind is some
what chaotic over the question of
whether he should throw his new
I'anaina hat into the political ring
once more. The thought of dropping
the substance for the shadow, as re
.lated in the fable, acts as a deterring
factor. The best bet offered is that
he will not get into the gubernatorial
contest.
"Met" avers that he is an uncer
tain factor in the democratic sena
torial gymkhana. He is busy getting
the measurements of "Bill" Price, Wil
lis Rcecl, J. H. Morehead and Edgar
Howard, the present entrants with
whom he would have to run if he
should file.
Local filings are. not causing any
excitement at the election commis
sioner's office. F. D. Wead and W.
J. Coad, members of the Metropoli
tan water board, have filed for nomi
nations. C. G. Carlberg, realtor, filed
for the republican nomination.
All tilings for state representative
thus far have been republicans, eleven
aspirants having appeared as follows:
James Allan, John A. Lovegren, John
Larsen, R. L. Bailey, Victor D. Rey
nolds, George A. Sargent, Chris Lyck,
J. M. McDowell, H. C. Timme,
George C. Porter and Nels Lungrcn.
A. H. Bigelow, Charles W. Sears
and W. J. Broatch, republicans, and
Charles Anderson, James H. Crad
dock and Jens Nielsen, democrats,
have filed for state senatorial nomina
tions. Frank W. Bandle has filed for regis
ter of deeds, which' position he form
erly held.
James C. Dahlman is still being
i red to make the race for sheriff.

Trouble Over
KINKAID PUTS
THROUGH BILL
TO SURVEY LAND
Uncle Mose Satisfies Objectors
That Legislation is Needed,
Especially in Big Sixth
District.
Washington Bureau of
The Omaha Bee,
1311 G Street.
Washington, July 16. (Special
Telegram). "Uncle Mose" Kinkaid's
bill authorizing the resurvey or re
tracement of lands her-tofore re
turned as surveyed public lands of
the United States under certain con
ditions, passed the house today with
out a record vote. For a time it
looked as if there were serious objec
tions to the bill, judging from the
temper of the members who asked
questions upon certain features of the
bill, but Judge Kinkaid, who is an
old hand in getting legislation through
the house, met all comers in a master
ful manner, satisfying the objectors
that the legislation not only was
urgent, but needful, to clear up many
titles, particularly in the big Sixth
district.
Semi-Rest Period.
Congress today began a semi-rest
period for tired legislators, permitting
the solons to go home if they so de
sire, to look after their political
fences, but they must be back and
ready to resume business, August 19.
Saturday, the senate decided to in
augurate the three-day recess plan and
the house fell into the spirit of the
scheme after side-tracking the agri
cultural appropriation bill and passing
a number of bills on the "unanimous
consent," calendar.
Hitchcock on Vacation.
Senator Hitchcock, accompanied by
Mrs. Hitchcock and Mrs. Hitchcock's

wife of Colonel Bowen, now on the
western front, will leave for his sum
mer home in Swanipscott, Mass., to
morrow by automobile, going north
via Gettysburg, Lancaster and the
smaller cities in New York and New
England.
Senator Norris will go to Nebraska,
but when he has not decided, pro
bably sometime next week.
Congressman Lobeck will leave for
Omaha tomorrow evening. Mr.
Lobek stated today that Representa
tive Scott Ferris, chairman of the
democratic congressional committee
and W. G. Jamison, of the national
committee would be in Omaha Fri
day for a conference with democratic
politicians. Ferris and Jamison are
booked for speeches at the Iowa dem
ocratic convention to be held in Des
Moines Wednesday and Thursday of
this week.
Representative Sloan, being a mem
ber of the ways and means commit
tee, will remain in Washington for
a few days with a view of aiding the
committee in drafting the next in
come tax bill, which it is expected
will be ready to report to the house
on August 19. Mrs. Sloan and daugh
ter will remain in Washington while
the congressman is making a hurried
tour of the state.
Congressman Shallenberger, accom
panied by Mrs. Shallenberger and
daughter, will go home some time
next week, in ample time to attend
the democratic state convention at
Hastings.
Judge Kinkaid lias several impor
tant departmental matters to look
after before he goes back to meet the
home folks previous to the August
primaries, but in all probability the
last of the week will see him on his
way to the "big sixth."
Officers of the Omaha Street rail
way were advised today that the war
labor board would hear their side of
the controversy between the employes
and the company at Kansas City

About the most depicable form of untruth ia the
slanderous "half truth," which makes plausible the false
hood which dare not be uttered direct.
A blow in the dark, like a knife in the back, invari
ably proclaims the sneak and coward.
Slander, abuse and blackmail are fitting weapons for
jealousy and incompetence, but have no terrors for him
who "hath his quarrel just."
I have been the object of many attacks in my many
years of professional life, but despite the misguided ef
forts of those who would paint me in colors of the darkest
hue, I have managed to retain my self-respect, the respect
of my friends and the confidence and the esteem of my
patients.
I do not think my bitterest enemy will claim that I
am other than a Competent Dental Surgeon. Being care
ful to see that my patients and creditors always get what
is their just due, you may rest assured that I shall be
equally careful to see that my detractors shall "get all
that is coming to them."
To those who may read between the lines and under
stand me, I merely desire to say, "He laughs best who
laughs last."
To those fair-minded, square-dealing people of Oma
ha and vicinity who have been numbered among my
friends and patients from the first, I desire to sky: "Be of
good cheer." This office is here TO STAY, Omaha is
going to have BETTER DENTISTRY, OMAHA IS GOING
TO HAVE HONEST PRICES, and no amount of blackmail
is going to swerve me from my purpose.
