n Candidates Arc All Optimistic As Primary Nears Varied Assortments of Cam paign Cards Telling Virtues Are Distributed Big Vote is Expected. Only one more day remains for 55,000 registered men and women voters of Omaha to mull over the list of 65 candidates for city commission ers, out of which list each voter will be entitled on Tuesday to express choices for seven. "I never saw such a quiet city pri mary campaign," asserted Mayor Smith Saturday, as he scanned the list of candidates. "1 believe, how ever, the voters are thinking and it is my hope that every registered f otcr will go to the polls on Tues day. A voter who does not exer cise his or her elective franchise lias no right to complain when the af fairs of city government go wrong. Take an interest in your own city government. It is jour duty as a citizen." Polls Open at 8. The polls will be open on Tuesday from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m. There arc now 161 voting precincts in the city, seven new precincts having been added by the election commissioner by his recent revision. Thirteen old precincts were cut out and 20 new precincts added, making a net ad- f tl:. - CI moil or seven. x ms may cause a )flc confusion in sonic instances, but every election board will have a map of the new precinct boundaries and will be ready to advise voters whose voting places have been changed. The most radical change of Jiny of the wards occurred in the Tenth, in the Dundee district, where 10 pre cincts were increased to 16 precincts, five old precincts not bavin gbeen disturbed, and the other five in creased to II. Thcre are approximately 55.000 )men and women eligible to vote. The lotal vote next Tuesday has been estimated from 35,000 to 40,000, ac cording to weather conditions. Three ycarse ago the lowest nomi nee of the-14 received 2.S94, but Miice then nianj' men have returned from inititary service and the women arc now voting, which will increase the total vote necessary for nomina tion. The consensus of opinion .seems to be that it will require not Jess than 5,000 votes on Tuesday to get into the nomination class. One man's opinion is reflected by his offer to bet ?50 that not less than 6,000 votes will be necessary to get within the first 14. The return of warm weather yes terday brought the candidates out for a week-end parade, handing their cards here and there, and express ing the familiar words: "Anything (" vou can do for me will be appre ciated." Hope Springs Eternal. "Hope springs eternal in the hu man breast," and likewise in the breast of a candidate. Sixty-five candidates presented an unbroken line of ootimism veslerday. Each seemed equally confident as the ! Iter of nomination. "It isn't a man's virtues that will count at the primary; it will depend on how many people he knows," was the observation of a youug woman who has had considerable experience with men and affairs in politics and business. The campaign cards reflect at! sorts of ideas and ideals. J. J. Dudley's card reads: "He made Six teenth and Faniam safe. Let's make Omaha safe." , W. S. Jardine has the smallest card of the campaign, with a bright red border and a brief announcement of his candidacy. T Dean Ringer has a lengthy state ment on the severse side of his catMs, both sides' being printed in red ink. W. G. Ure emphasized th? name of "Ure" on his cards. "I prefer the department of street cleaning and maintenance," an nounces A. C. Kugel on his cards. Most of the candidates include pic tures of their faces on their cam paign cards. Thousands of circulars are being sent to the voters, some by indivi duals and others by groups. It was stated at one of the campaign head quarters during the week that it costs $1,000 to print, address and mail one circular letter to the voters. Election Commissioner II. G. Moorhead is setting up the election booths at the voting places and states he will have everything in readiness for the opening at 8 Tues day morning. He urges all voters who can, to get to thepolls during the morning hours, particularly the housewives. By observing this re quest the way will be easier for those who will be unable to vote until the last few hours of the day. early, vote as early as you can." suggests the election commissioner. n 1 .

Pilot Back From Trip ; Of Adventure In Europe: Too Late to Join Wrangel, Omaha Flyer Joins American Squadron With Roumanians. Clarence C. Lange, who won re nown for his daring and skill as the ace of the pioneer air mail flyers on the Omaha run, flew into Omaha at 6:30 Saturday night from Chicago after realizing the dream of many an ex-A.

Sailed Last Fall. Lange. racing to join General Wrangel, sailed on the La France from New York last fall, landed at Lc Havre and hurried by rail to Paris. On the train he contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia. The god of luck was with him, for he had chanced upon an Amer ican medical corps major, who car ed for him during a week's severe illness in Paris. Convalescent, the pilot heard of the disaster to Wrangel. "Well, I'll just move on to China and join the army of the south of China," he decided. He went to the steamship agencies and after a deal of confab was re ferred to Marseilles for a chance at a reservation. He found that he could get on a boat through the Suez with no berth, requiring a month or so to make the trip, for $450. "Saw me coming," the young fly er said, and he ducked back to Paris, where he ran into Captain Clark. Situation Explained. Captain Clark explained the situa tion of Roumania four bolshcviki divisions camped on the Roumanian border just a little ways from Bucherest and Roumania, nervous and getting ready to fight a threat ened invasion this spring. The two of them, with several other kindred spirits, organized their all-Amcrican fighting squadron, which, in defer ence to the Roumanian ruler, they dubbed "The King's Owne." They volunteered the services of this squadron in case of attack and are now awaiting developments. Then Lange met . Bleriot world famous pilot who first flew the Eng lish channel, now chief of the S. P. A.

Lange found new Fokkers, Nieu ports and Spads for sale to him, carrying a brevet for training with the French air forces, at $450. These would cost $8,000 in the United States, he said. Almost any flyer could buy the planes as cheaply as he could, he said. Back in Main Service.

Reorganization Of Committees In benate Complete Total Number Reduced From 75 to 31 ItihUt Plans for More Efficient Legisla tive Machinery. C'liiniKo TrllMiiie-Onuilift Her IraM-il Mire. Washington, April .1 Reorgan ization of the senate committees and their reduction in number from 75 to .14. as provided in the Knox resolution directing the institution of more compact legislative ma chinery, has been carried out by the committee on committees and is ready for the senate's approval. Senator Brandegee. chairman of the committee, who directed the prep aration of the reorganization plans, had a difficult task on his hands and ! iminv senators have had to eivc 111) important committee assignments in order to take care of all, including tl'.c 14 new senators, in the limited number of assignments available. Of the 10 major committees, none of the chairmanships arc changed and senate leaders retain their places, but in combinations of old committees and the retirement of many minor ones, many sena tors must give up some of their old places. Senator McCormick of Illinois, as the result of the reorganization, gets an important chairmanship of a new committee to be known as the com mittee on 'expenditures in executive departments, which is a combination ot all the expenditures committees. There was a special committee for each government department under the old order. These are now thrown into one. 1 senator McCormick also gets an important assignment as member of the foreign relations committee, but it is necessary for him to yield hi.i membership on the naval affairs committee. Senator McCormick's otiier committee memberships will include mines an'd mining, rules and a new committee, territories and in sular possessions, which is. a com bination of former committees deal ing with the Philippines, Porta Rico, territories and others. .

The jury recommended mercy for the convicted men. They were con tinued in bail until next Thursday when sentence will be imposed. The maximum penally is three years' im prisonment or $1,000 fine, or both.

Magill. field secretary of the National Educational as sociation, who was one of the prominent speakers during the con vention of the Second district Ne braska State Teachers' association is considered as an authority on the liie of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Magill's old home was in Sangamon county, Illinois, the Magill homestead being within a few miles of the old Lin coln home. "John W. Bttnn of Springfield, III., told 111c a story about Lincoln, which 1 do not believe has ever been published," said Mr. Magill. "At least Mr. Buun told me it had not been in print up to the time he told it to inc. The story reflects Ihe ureat mind of Lincoln and it il- : lustrates his inagnaanimity and knowledge of human nature. Dunn told me that before Lincoln was j elected president he was in Ohio in la , lawsuit in which Edwin M. Stanton was counsel for the other side. At that time Lincoln was out matched by Stanton, who took an advantage of Lincoln's outward un couthness. Where Lincoln was elect ed president and was casting around for cabinet timber, he sent lor Stan ton, and confided the cabinet pros pect. Lincoln then went to his old friend. P.unn, and told what he had done with respect to Stanton. Bunn recalled the incident which occurred in Ohio and chided Lincoln tor hon oring with a cabinet position a man who had taken advantage ot per sonal appearances in a lawsuit. Lin coln, however, explained to Bunn that Stanton possessed rare ability and that it was ability he sought for his cabinet." William Kavau, secretary in the of fice of Police Commissioner Ringer, says he meets up with all sorts and conditions of men and women dur iiur ihe dav's work. A woman. carrying a large ear trumpet, called at the office last Friday to com plain of loud and unusual noises which she asserted were made in the basement of a neighbor, along about the midnight hour. She sus pected a still was in operation and she wanted the-still and the noise abated. Mr. Ka van's process oi reasoning told him that if a deaf woman was thus disturbed, and that ii her story could be given credence, here was an opportunity for the "hootch" squad to make a record for the po lice department. A detail of "rum hounds" was assigned to the case. Thev reported that they discovered a family of father, mother and six children, enjoying the pursuits of life, liberty and happiness, according to the law of the land. There was no still. Thev further learned that the woman with the car trumpet had been involved in a dispute with her neighbors whom she wanted to an noy. The latest "kid" story to reach the office of J. H. Bevcridge, su perintendent of schools, was brought in last week. A boy whose name is Forest, the son of a prominent Oma ha family, was required by his teacher last week to remain after school to impress upon hiiu the need of' a better observance of school rules. The reaction of this upon the boy caused his proud spirit to droop. His pride had been stung.

He fought for lower light rates, lower telephone rates, lower street car fares. He Has Experience Hrrv Zimman hm of this, coupled with his practical experience, he has obtained good understanding of his fellowmen. This knowledge stood him well when he was called upon to settle difficulties that have risen from time to time between capital and labor. During the street car trouble he ironed out the difficulties between the street car employes and the street car company, ending a situation which would have greatly injured and inconvenienced not only capital, and the strikers and their families, but also all the citizens of this city. Of all the city commissioners both the street car company and its employes picked Harry Zimman as the mediator. He has acted as mediator in many other labor-capital controversies. He was one of the. first leaders in the fight for woman suffrage in Nebraska. He supported the initiative and i referendum. of Everything boy looked full into his teacher's face and said: "I don't mind so much remaining after school, but I do hope you won't advertise it. 1 don't want the neighbors to know about it." C. A. Crinunel, candidate for city commissioner, has more than an academic knowledge of practical municipal affairs. He has been serv ing as vice chairman of the municipal affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce for some time and has been a close observer of local gov ernment for many years. But that is not the story told about his pres ent candidacy. During a recent spirited meeting in the city council chamber, Mr. Grimmcl became en gaged in a controversy with one of the city commissioners over a matter of policy. 'You seem quite interested in city affairs. Why don't you pay $10 filing fee and get into the race for city commissioner?" was asked. He smiled at the time, but when several other friends made the same sugges tion, he thought seriously of the matter and then filed.

Society Woman Needs One Hat a Day, Says Actress Loudon, April 3. One bat per day is quite reasonable for a society woman." This wa- the comment made by a member of a fashionable woman's club on the surprise expressed by a county court judge at a Spanish act ress ordering five hats in one day. "A woman should wear a hat until she is tired of it," she said, "if only for a fortnight, and then give it to her maid. But a hat a day is quite reasontble. One should remember that a woman's hair is part of her hat and she has often to wear the hat all day. She has to arrange her hair to accommodate the hat, and then she keeps it on at home and at bridge in the afternoon. rOMTICAI. ADVEUT1SEMEM.

Employers Fight 4 l-IIour Demands Made by Printers International Conference at Chicago Adjourns Without DeeiMou Will Meet in New York June 27. Chicago. April 3,-irThc interna tional joint conference council of printing employers and employes ad jounrned, to meet in New York, June 27, without reaching an agreement concerning immediate es tablishment of the 44-hour week ad vocated by the employes. James J. Freel, president of the Internation al Stereotypers and l'lectrotypers union, sa'd Jhe 44-hour week would go into effect May 1, as previously agreed. ' The conference was marked by a declaration by employers that tlic 44-hour week would mean busi ness suicide and reiteration of union heads that failure to accede to the shorter week would precipitate the greatest fight in the trade's historj-. The controversy hinged about a referendum vote taken in 1919 by the five unions of the printing industry, tavoring establishment of the 44-luuir week on the present 48-hour wage scale and later agreed to by the United Typothctae of America. Many employers, however, contend they are not bound by the Typothc tae s action. , Vigorous talks in which the prin ciple of the shorter work week was upheld and declaration made that the 160.000 printers and the 10.000 women of the bookbinders union would fight against any opposition, were made by union officers. Nation's Gross Debt Reduced $71,580,330 Washington. April 3. The na tion's gross debt was reduced $71, 580,330 in March, according to the treasury statement, which showed the debt to be $23,980,140,397. Of the total federal obligations out standing. $2,754,841,000 represents short term treasury certificates of in debtedness, several hundred million of which Secretary Mellon said will be retired during April. An analysis of the treasury's fis cal alTairs for the last year reveal little change in the amount of cer tificates of indebtedness or the float ing debt. The gross debt, however, consisting largely of Liberty bonds and Victory notes, has shown a de crease. Certificates of indebtedness outstanding March 31, 1920, totaled $2,667,220.00. less than $100,000,000 below the present total. Parsons College Ends Campaign for $300,000 Fairfield, la., April 3.
