Dineen Wants Judgeship.

ntends to make the race for one of
the new municipal judgeships cre
ated under the five-iudtre plan of the
municipal court. Two judges will be
elected next fall and they will begin
10 serve next January wan tne inrcc
now serving. The combined court
' will include the present municipal
courts, the police courts and the jus-
tice court. J presiding juage win uc
named by the five judges and police
court service will be assigned by the
presiding judge.
No "Dope" on Governorship.
The question of whether any Oma
ha man will have the temerity to
enter the gubernatorial race this year
is something which the political ob
servers are unable to answer. Mayor
Dahlman, who has had some ex
perience along that line, expressed
doubt whether an Omaha democrat
, , A-'
couia De elected governor mis year.
He commented on the usual diffi
culties of any democrat being elect
ed governor in Nebraska, the state
normally being republican. The
mayor noted that recent democratic
victories in Nebraska were on the
wet-and-dry issue, which is not an
issue now. He figured that with
women now voting, Nebraska is 60,
000 republican.
Mayor Is Hopeful.
Anent the democratic situation In
this district, the mayor asserted his
belief that a democrat might win this
year if he obtained the endorsement
of the third party, but he would not
advise heavy betting on the demo
cratic candidate for congress in this
yistrict in a three-cornered fight.

Cincinnati Fire
Fighting Expert
to Have Class Here
Ohio Manufacturer Interests
Governor McKelvie in
Conducting Summer
Training College. "
Leon L. Wolf, prominent manufac
turer of Cincinnati, was required to
talk fast and long yesterday before
he convinced officials of the fire de
partment that he was rot trying to
sell them anything, nor trying to
get their money.
Mr. Wolf has a hobby winch he
indulges about three months of each
year in going through the country
preaching the gospel of efficiency m
fire fighting methods. He has estab
lished many traininsr schools for fire
men, the school in Detroit being
known throughout the country as a
model.
".. Cuts Insurance Rate. ' .
"Cincinnati has the largest fire de
partment of any city of its population
in the world and the lowest insurance
rate of any city in the United
States," said Mr. Wolf. "An. effi
cient fire' department means less fire
loss and low fire losses mean low in
surance rates. But the insurance rates
are not the only factor. The tem
porary loss of an industrial plant in
a community is a distinct economic
loss."
Mr. Wolf Is instructor and drill
master of the Cincinnati , fire de
partment, serving in that capacity be
cause he nfakes the work his hobby.
He gives his salary each year to the
firemen's relief fund. He is a mem
ber of the advisory board of the
National Board of Underwriters.
At Norfolk Meeting,
v Last week he attended the annual
meeting of the Volunteer Firemen's
association at Norfolk, Neb., where
he met Gov. S. R. McKelvie. The
Cincinnati man interested the gover
nor in' the proposition of holding a
state fire College at Omaha " next
summer for several weeks. The
Nebraska communities sending men
here wilt be asked to oay the travel
and hotel expenses and the state will
pay for the instruction. '
The Cincinnati fire department has
a total strengh of 1,196 men, work
ing on the double platoon system,
which requires 24 hours on duty and
24 hours off, alternately. The men
are paid $172.50 per month.
