John W. Towle, foreman of the grand jury which investi gated the riot, said it is his firm conviction that the crime for which the negro was lynched was never committed. The negro was not a prisoner of the POLICE DEPART MENT. He was in the hands of the SHERIFF. The sheriff had been advised and urged by the police to re move this negro from Omaha, but this advice was ignored. The prisoner was dressed differently from any other in the jail. . , i The sheriff was a friend and political co-worker of Den nison, , The man who was with the girl at the alleged committing of the crime was a cousin of the man who today is running Dennison's campaign er Dahlman and Dunn. He could not be found at the investigation by the grand jury. After the downtown riot was over more than a hundred , of the thugs and criminals who had been imported: to carry out the riot went to the police station "to clean it r out." They would have done so, but for the timely ap pearance of federal troops. If it was an organized effort, as Towle and General Wood say, it was for the sole purpose of discrediting the Oma ha police department. v ,Who could it have been that was willing to commit organ ized arson and murder to discredit the Ringer police Ringer may hot have handled the riot as well as many who had no responsibility think he should, but ask your selves, good citizens of Omaha, is that any reason for turning back the police force into the hands of the ungod ly crew" who in all human probability were responsible fortheriot? If not, vote the straight Good Government Ticket. If you don't want these enemies of the Omaha police department to get control of the city govern ment, vote for these men: . - ' .
