SENTIMENT 1§ SOUTH 0¥AHA Directors of Auditorinm Project Hear Some Views and Variations, MAYOR KELLY IS INTENSELY PATRIOTIC South Omaha's interest in torlum project was debated ut a compli- mentary dinuer tendered representatives of the different Interests of South Omaha by the board of directors of the auditorium at tho ller Grand Thursday night. The guests were: Mayor A. R. Kelly, W. J, ¢ Kenyon, Robert ¢. Howe, J. G. Martin, Bruce McCulloch and Denna Allbery, rep- resenting South Omaha, and those sponded to the limited number of Invitations {ssued were: Fred Nash ber of the advisory board ae W penter and John 8. Knox. At this meeting the closely allied fnterests of the two citics were mentioned by the several gentlemen the audi other mem- Car- who spoke during the evening and a happy | hit was made by Charles 8. Elgutter, gens eral counsel of the auditorlum committee. when he spoke of the immense project that has been undertaken as the ‘Greater Omaba auditorium.” After the dinngr was completed Pres- tdent F. E. Sanborn of the board of di- rectors made the opening address of the evening. "I want to say just a word,” he sald, “speaking as a director of Omaha Auditorium company and for the benefit of our visitors from South Omaha Omaha is going to build an wuditorium Altive cperations will begin in about sixty days and the date of completion will be about September 1, 1901, Omaha does what It undertakes in earnest and the fact it has demanded an auditorium makee the project as geod as done Wo firmly believe that the building of an auditortum in this city will not aloue bemefit Omaba. An auditorium such as I have outlined, such as we want and such we propose to have, will not ouly bene- At Omaha, but will be a source of sat- iafaction and a benefit to every man in South Omaha and Council Bluffs and all the citizens of Nebraska. It scems to me, astoall of the men interested inthe pro- Ject, that the building of this auditorium will be one means of helping along the ma- terial interests of this city as much as anything else we could do, consldering the amount of capital, labor and energy em ployed in it Interests All Identical. “I bave been much interested i this en- who re- | the | terprive,” John 8. Knox, who fol- lowed F ut Sanborn, “from the be- ginning. South Omo appreciates th magnitude of this enterprise, for her citl zens are used to great, big things. 1 know | that ever since s | has considered herself her separate municipality, in all matters of public moment that iovolved Omaha just as much a part of this city as though coustituting one of its ward subdivisions.” Isanc W Carpenter complimented the members of the board of directors on the work they have a'roudy lished In the matter of the auditorium he plans they have outlined for future operaiions. He credited (he incépticn of the profect to the Commercial club Fred Nash, & member of the advisory board, stated his hearty sympathy with the project and paid a high compliment to o hustling abilities of the men who have tiken it upon themselves to secure stock | subscriptions. “You gentlemen are cer- | tainly not lagging” he said, “in your ef- forts to make this plan a reality and I can assure you that it all your committees ap- proach everybody as they did me, calling atd of the Electric ralse $1,000,000 “The president of this said that this is a great enterprise,” said W. J. C. Kenyon, “It doesn't seem so to us in South Omaha. We think it's an easy matter, It affords the opportunity for Omaha to show the entire country that we have as many people here as we had ten years ago by starting out and buflding on auditorium such as you have outlined The amount necessary, $250,000, does scem arge ove viewed from the standpoint of | an individuai, but dividing it up among the ihabitants of a big city like Omaha it isn't much. Omaha has at least 140,000 inhabitants, notwithstanding the figures of the last census, and it ms to me that | it ought to be casy to raise $1,000,000 for | an enterprise iike this. I am heartily in favor of the auditorium and I will take pleasure in recommending to the board of the Union Stock Yards company that it be liberal in its subscriptions o the enter- prise.” Light company, they assoclation has 8¢ Mayor Kelley a Trifle Coy. Mayor Kelly of South Omaha: “In regard {to this auditorium matter I can not speak ;ror our people, but only as an individual citizen. We have contributed liberally, | financially and by personal presence, to everything that has taken place in Omaha— | for instance, the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities and the expositions. In return we have called upon Omaha people for very little. 1 firmly believe that in case South Omaha people at- tempt any enterprise of importance your citizens would co-operate with us. We have | now no ventures or any great undertakings, I but we expect to have and when we do we will call on you for assistance. We are now | contemplating the erection of hall large enough to accommodate local conventions, lalso an opera house and a large commercial ath Omaha was horn she | notwithstanding | upon me for a subscription as president | win | hotel. Whether or not the Commercial club {ot my city would endorse a project that would bring stock conventions and live stock shows to your city is a question I am not in a position to answer. These attractions in Omaha naturally briug people to patron- lze your local Institutions, and this is what our people are trying to get.' Robert ', Howe said 1 feel that the quicker this auditorium is built the better. As far as the interests of South Omaha are concerned we are entirely with ft. You can depend on South Omaha peopie to do all in their power to belp make the enterprise a success.” . “I have always consldered the interests of Omaha and South Omaha as common Iuter- ests.”” said J. G. Martin, “and 1 am heartily in favor of the auditorium project. I hope that it will be carried through to & success- ful issue and I assure you gentlemen that will do what little I can do toward that end.” Bruce McCulloch gald: “Unquestionably there exists in South Omaha two cpinions with regard to anything distinctively an Omaha project. Our mayor has stated one and Mr. Martin has stated the other. 1 believe there 1s rather the more pronounced opinion that whatever conduces to the bet- terment of Omaha Is In a measure reflected in the city on the south. At the outset of this auditorium profect, however, it is well | to look the situation squarely in the face and realize that our mayor has stated the position of many of the people in South Omaba. As a matter of fact, we have hardly been treated as a younger brother, but rather as a kid that didn’t amount to much. Omaha Has Helped Alwayw. Denna Allbery followed with a few re- marks {n which he stated his good feeling toward the auditorium project C. B. Elgutter spoke briefly upon the ad- vantages of an auditorium for South Omaha as well as Omaha, and when he spoke of the project as the “Greater Omaha auditorium’ the sentiment was cheered to the echo. Secretary Utt of the Commerclal club spoke briefly, stating his bellet that South Omaba should give the auditorium undivided financial and moral suppport. ‘The Com- mercial club of Omaha,” he said, “has at all times looked upon South Omaha as & com- posite part of this city. We have always stood ready and willing to help along any of its projects. We have helped carry on some of its most notable rate wars, and our club has been in a measure instrumental fn gaining some great victories In the matter of treight tariffs. When any manufacturing firms have decided to locate in Omaha we have never discriminated in favor of this city in the matter of sites, but nave con- sldered and recommended South Omaha upon the same footing." 5 Murriage Licenses, The follo - P . juihey following marriage licenses were Name and Residence, 4.

The questions are 1. Why did so many men work on county road for pork and beans in 15947 Could they not get work and receive money for it as they do now? 8. How Is it the same men now money and dive on porkchops and pie? 4. Why don't ihey work as then and go to the county store and receive their pay in pork and beans, as they did then, instead of money, as now? 5. Why I8 it there Is no army marching to Washington? Can't Coxey find men to go? 6. 1t mot, why mot? Are and can’t spare the time? 7. How is it we laboriug people ing bomes for ourselves to live four and five years ago we could rent? . How can the Bryan pushers expect (o &t our vote this year, atfer telling us we would starve if McKiuley was elected four years ago? And we have never seen work s0 plentiful as now and wages s good. Senator Hoar thus councisely points out the absurdity of the democratic statements about trusts: "It does not secu to me it can be necossary to say anything further on this subject, for certainly the position of the democratie party upon trusts is too infinitely absurd to be taken seriously When you consider the Bryaw remedy to put upon the free list the greatest protected industry of the country, provided a few people, perhaps couspiring to that very PULPOSe, get up & trust (o manufacture the asticle, when you consider that of the three the have they (oo busy are buy- in when not pay great managers of Bryan's campaign, Jones of Arkansas, Croker and Tillman, two are defendants in sults in their own states for violating the laws against trusts and the other is the head of the greatest voting monopoly, the impudence of their attitude becomes sublime.” spoudent of the Atlanta sizes up the situation fn Tilinols in these words: ‘“'As the day ot elcction draws nearer the democrats are realizing the probabllity of republican suc- In Iligols. They find it almost jm- possible to overcome the great republican influence In this state The weak point of the democratic party in Ilinols is the fact that it has little newspaper support. I Chicago there are only two democratic papers and one of them is ouly three months old. Hoearst's Chlcago American a the Chicago Chronicle are the only papers in this city and state of any im rortan which are supporting the demo- cratie ticket, and their influence does pot begin to compare with that of the big res publican papers. On the other hand, Mc- Kinley aud Roosevelt are supported by the Chicago Times-Herald, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Inter O n, the Chicago Jour- nal, the Chicego Post and others. The Chicago Record and’ the Chicago Dally News have assumed an independont attis tude, with republican leanings.” The Chicago cor Journal (dem.) in Observers of preparations the bLig parade of sound money men o New York Ity on the eveniWk of November 3 say that the bill for carnations, which marchers wear in their buttonholes, will foot up § Tho florists of New York have made a flat Tate at $50 a thousand for these flowers. The estimates are on a basla of 150,000 marchers. Western florists have volunteered tq help out on the orders for the carnations for but the New Yorkers expect to be able to supply the demand themselves. There are manufacturers of imitation carnations who want to furnish blossoms made of paper, which look just as good as the real thing, but they have been refused. “Rarely, 1t ever,” writes the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, “has there been an eléction in which such overwhelming confidence in victory has pos. sessed one of the parties so long in advance of the balloting. The republicans are now sure of success. This is not leading them, however, to relax their efforts, as they in- tend to make assurance doubly sure.” Ex-Secretary Charles 8. Fairchild, who served during President Cleveland's first\ad- ministration, is takiog an active part for the republican ticket. He still insists that he 18 not @ republican, but says he will do anything in his power to defeat Mr. Bryan Four years ago he voted for Palmer and Buckner.

Curtis writes to the Chicago Record. “The Honest Money Democratic league of Maryland has oyer 20,000 members, every ame of whom I8 in active business, a yproperty owner, an employer of labor and a wember of the democratic party. In 1896 President McKinley had 32,222 more votes in Maryland than Mr. Bryan. This was the direct result of the work of tne Democratic league.

Complete ¥ cKinley will carry Nebraska by a ma- Jority of easily 5,000 to 7,000, said Chair- man H. C. Litdsay of the state republican committee yesterday. It was the first offi- clal estimate made by the state chair- man during the campalgn: he has not in- dulged in surmises until the poll of coun- ties was complete, and he has the actual names an: places on which to base his calculation “The complete poll of the state has been recelved and tabulated,” sald Mr. Lind- say. The committeemen from each county have sent in the tames of pvery voter in thelr jurisdiction, giving his party afMliations as republicans, democrats or doubtful. The last class has been divided on a ratio generous to the fusionists, and | the result is as I say. The lists are | catalogued and it is simply a matter of counting the names. “From the very opening of the campaign the reports from every precinct in the state have been encouraging without an exception. The gains are not confified to any one quarter, but reach from the south- east to the wmorthwest A number of precincte, espectally in tho cattle country, have been carefully canvassed and show not a single fusionist voter where four years ago they met YOu at every corner “The partial crop fallure which, as a rule, would be counted a boom for the fusionist cause, will be of little effect The only agricultural district where crops | were burned out s fn the southwestern | part of the state.

Our information shows that we are fully as strong in this end of the state as ever before.’ The state committee is working night and day cleaning up the business of the campaign and attending to the final rush A considerable amount of literature Is being sent out as a final shipment. It is Judged that literature will have no effect after this week and that department of the headquarters will close on Saturday The influence of speakers, however, will be of effect until the last day of the cam- palgn, and mo effort is being spared by Chairman RIgg of the speakers' bureau in this line of work BRYAN'S MISTAKES OF MOUTH e Ba Are ¥ Some of Breaks He Has Made nted Out by Winter. The Fifth Ward Young Men's Republican club met last night at Sixteenth and Lo- cust streets and was addressed by Charles E. Winter. For nearly two hours Mr. Win- ter spoke on the fssues of the present campaign, setting forth the principles the republican party in a manner that called forth much applause. Much of the speech was devoted to the so-called issus of imperialism which Mr. Bryan and his tollowers have been attacking. “There {8 nothing in all this talk about no man being good enough to govern an- other without the vonsent of the goverend The republicans do not favor governing people against their will as a general prop osition, but in many cases this is neces sary for a time. Jefferson Davis and the confederacy were governed without their consent. As soon as the Filipinos show that they are capable of maintalning a stable government, they will be granted independence The speaker discussed the bitter attacks the democrats have made upon Marcus A Hanna and compared him with Croker of Tammany Hall fame, the man who do inates the Bryan organization and dictated plank in the Kansas City platform. “Hanoa is at the head of the republican party, but he Is no boss. He made Presi- dent McKinley the republican nominee for the presidency four years ngo against the will of many party manipulators and since that time has done bis best to carry out the wishes of the great majority of the republican voters. But granting that he is & boss" Mr. Winter continued, “is it not better to have a clear-headed, upright business man at the head of a party rather than the leader of the most corrupt po- Mtical ring in America? Is not an honors able citizen to be preferred to a man who 1s supported by the most disreputable ele- ments in New York city?" In conclusion the speaker urged all re- publicans to vote the straight ticket and {nsure the election of & republican delega- tion to Lincoln. He pointed to Douglas county' failure to pull itself out of the wire of populism, while less fortunate parts of the state have returned to the repub- lcan ranks. Al eyes are turned upon Ne- braska in this campaign and the state must not fail to choose leglslators who will send two good republicans to Washington, GERMANS SHOW GOOD WILL Tuetons Disapprove of Abusive Pam- phiets and Cull Upon Germans to Support K. Rosewater. The German-American Republican club of Douglas county at its meeting last night took up the matter of eirculars recently circulated attacking the candidacy of Ed- ward Rosewater for the United States sen ate. The authors of the circular were strongly denounced and the tone of the effusion deprecated. It was unanimously decided to issue an appeal to the German voters of Douglas county, calling upon them to rally to the support of Mr. Rosewater in return for the good will he has shown the German citizens and work he has done in their behalf. A transiation of the appenl was ordered printed in The Bec and any other papers which would publish it In regard to the excursion to Millard next Sunday, it was decided to leave Ger mania ball at 10:30 a. m. in carryalls and it was anounced that Editor Kraft of the Chicago Staats-Zeitung would accompany the excursionists and deliver an addre in German at the grounds at Millard.

A rousing republican meeting was held last night at Hibbler's hall, Forty-fifth and Leavenworth streets, under the auspices | | of the Republican Knights of America. | About 100 voters of the Seventh and Ninth | wards were present and all took a lively | interest in the wiscussion of current issues.

Mercer's Stand on Anti-scalping Bill No Injury to Workingman. “I do not wish to notice such an attack,” sald Congressman Mercer yesterday when an article in & morniog paper re- garding his position on the anti-scalping bill was shown him “I will simply say that if certain labor organizations were op- posed to it, I recelved just as many peti- tlons from molders, machinists and other trades in its favor. The stand I took was a conscientious one and was so recognized by union labor. As a proof of that I bave here a vote of thanks from a number of unions, the first of which, the Columbia Typographical union of Washington, was mentioned in the article as being violently opposed to my course on the anti-scalpers’ bill The resolution Mr. Mercer referred to was joined in by six printers’, bookbinders' and stereotypers' unions in Washington and spoke cordially of the congressman as the workingmen's friend in assisting to defeat an amendment to the pensfon bill (8 2, 179), deemed inimieal to the cause of labor.
