THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, T0M BLACKBURN PERPLEXED Doesn't Know When and How to Call Oongressional Nomination, SAVAGE AND BARTLEY IN THE QUESTION \ Mr. Breen Refn to Allow Mercer's Man to Withdraw ¥ Name— John L. Webater Talks of ™ Political Honenty. good reason has he for being so. In addi- tion (o his inability to scare other candi- dates off the congressional track he is up to the trouble of choosing thé conditions upon which to seek a renomination for his chiet. Reallzing that the opposition to Mercer is not to be dispelled, Blackburn Is Just now trying to figure out the best way in which to meet it, and the problem has ®o far remalned unsolved As chairman and “whole thing” of the congressional committee, Blackburn may call for a congressional nomination when- ever he ple How and when to exercise this power-is the most perplexing puzzle he has ever had in hand. If he chooses to have the county convention which will pame the delegates to the pext state con- ntion select the men who are to make the congressional nomination, an embar- rassing situation will confront him, for Ahen it will be necessary for him to take wides in the gubernatorial contest. It hap- @ens that among his followers are a num- er of triends of Savage and Bartley and they will Insist upon having the governor's car coupled to the Mercer train as it runs through Douglas county. It Engineer Blackburn protests against such an ar- rangement he will bave to take the other end of the argument and array his forces sgainst Savage and Bartley, which s scarcely a possible thing for him to do, as perhaps a majority of said forces are in line with the governor and his pardon. It & majority of the republicans of the county were in the same line, then the question would be amn easy one for Blackburn, but from present appearances such is not the fact. A troublesome item to Mr. Black- burn e that a majority of the Mercer forces in this county just at this time forms only a small minority of the republicans, but Blackburn figures that he cannot even take a chance on antagonizing a rempant. 8o if Mercer is to go in for an early con- gressional nomination he must either stick to or oppose his Savage-Bartley friends for it is possible for Blackburn to straddle the situation only by his eyebrows, and an eyebrow straddle won't do. It Blackburn decides to avoid the compli- tions of the early gubernatorial fight by & determination to take his medicine in the fall, his embarrassment will be none the less. His only chance in the fall will be by forming combinations with candi- dates for county offices and the legislature, 4 this will be difficult work—perhaps im- possible. Judging from the manouvers of Blackburn at this time, he is endeavoring to aveld the troubles that would come to Mercer in the fall by pulling off the con- gressional momination in the mear future, and the great obstacle in his path is the Savage-Bartley proposition. If he decides to avold both the state and county complications, then comes the third last proposition—to make the congres- sional némination independently. And Blackburn knows that in a square fight, in- volving oply the congressional nomination, Mercer's chance would be slim. Mr. Mercer's engineer is perplexed and | That part of the scheme of Blackburn in his effort to secure a renomination for his non-resident candidate for congress is to misrepresent the opposition is shown in the talk he is making about town since the an- nouncement of the candidacy of John P. Breen. Of course his talk is only twaddle and will huve no effect, but it is significant 1n showing the anxiety of the congressional boss to create an impression that the op- position to Mercer is not substantial. In the presence of a Bee reporter and a well known republican of the Seventh ward yesterday Blackburn bad the temerity to deny that Mr. Breen was a candidate for the congressional nomination. “I bad & talk with Breen,” said Black- burz, “and be told me that the announce- ment of his candldacy in The Bee was un- suthorized—that he had merely been joking with the reporter. He is not a candidate.” But perbaps Mr. Breen himself is better suthority than Blackburn on this subject, in yesterday morning and “Mr. Blackburn says that you told him you were merely joking when you gave it out that you were a candidate for con- . “1 never told Blackburn anything of the kind,” replied Mr. Breen with emphasis “He came to me and asked if the newspa- per report of my candidacy was correct and I told him that it was; that I had decided to accede to the importunity of many friends and announce myself as a candi- dat “In politics, as in busine: & man is in ‘honor bound to keep his promise and be falls to observe an agreement made with other parties he forfeits what- @ver reputation for integrity he may have | thing many times and in various This belog tled principl and the evidence being that Mr. Mercer did not keep his agreement made two years ago, when he was allowed a renomination EXCURSION T0 SOUTHPLATTE without opposition, 1 belleve Mr, Rosewater | Commercial Olub Decides on Itinerary of 1s entirely justified in fighting against the return of the congressman for another term. It I were in Mr. Rosewater's place I would pursue exactly the same course, and 8o would any other honést and fair- minded man.” The above s substantially the statement made by John L. Webster to a group of gentlemen in a chair car on the Burlington train enroute to Lincoln several days ago When Mr. Webster was seen In his office by a Bee reporter yesterday and asked if he had made such a statement, he said Yes, 1 not only sald that on the train the other day, but I have said places. 1 don’t belleve a man has any better right to violate his agreements in politics than he has to repudlate his contracts in b iness “l am not sure of my premises, but I presume that Mr. Rosewater is sure of his, and if his premises are well taken my con- clusion that the opposition to Mercer is amply justified s correct. I am not sure of my premises because my memory does not retain the names of the men who, as representatives of Mr. Mercer, agreed that the congressman would not Interfere in the senatorial contest it he were permitted a renomination for congress without opposi- tlon two years ago. That such an agree- ment was made by the representatives of Mercer 1 am certain, but I cannot remem- ber the particular gentlemen who acted for the congressman at that time. Mr. Rosewater can probably remember them, for he and I were both parties to the agree- ment. ' “Mr. Rosewater and I kept our part of the contract, and Mercer was given the prestige of a unanimous nomination and saved the expense of a contest by our ac- tion. In return for this Mr. Mercer was bound by the promise of his representatives to keep out of the senatorial contest ab- solutely, but what does he do? After Mr. Rosewater, in a conteat with me at the pri- maries, wins the legislative delegation from this county and ie by all means entitled to the support of the republicans in this county for the senatorlal seat, Mr. Mercar goes down to Lincoln and announces him- self as a candidate In opposition, “It 1 had secured the Douglas county delegation, as Mr. Rosewater did, and Mer- cer had glven me the same opposition that he gave Mr. Rosewater at Lincoln, T would certalnly be acting just as Mr. Rosewater Is acting at this time. I have talked of this matter to a great many republicans, and I have yet to meet one who will even attempt to justity Mr. Mercer's interfer- ence In the senatorial fight. It may be that Mercer's oppoeition had nothing to do with Mr. Rosewater's defeat, but that has no bearing on the case. The prineiple of integrity is Involved and I Insist that we must act in good faith in politics as In business if we are to save our reputations.” CHURCH ADVERTISING PAYS New Policy of North Side Chriatian % Increased Large congregations attended all the services at the North Side Christian church on Sunday. Many hew faces were seen, which is taken as an indication that the policy of newspaper advertising, recently adopted by the North Side church, has al- ready begun to produce results The pastor, Rev. W. T. Hilton, occupied the pulpit morning and evening, having just returned from Columbia, M he attended the Missourl Ministerial insti- tute and presented the clalms of the na- tional convention, which meets in Omaha next October. Mr. Hilton reports widespread interest in the coming convention throughout Missourl, and that large numbers are planning to come to the Omaha meeting, the manage- ment of a seminary at Columbia having arranged to bring 100 of the young women students in & body. Arbor day will be observed at the North Side church by the planting of trees about the bullding. Plans are also being made for the erection of a flagstaff, from which “0ld Glory” will be flung to the breeze in the near future. SCHEME FOR TREE PLANTING To Be Tried on Twenty-E Regardl h Street, of Mayor's Veto., The bulletin board in Board of Publlc Works shows that pro- posals for planting trees and sodding along the margins of Twenty-elghth street, be- tween Leavenworth and Farnam streets, will be opened May 2. This is all tLat is left of Major D. H. Wheeler's ordinance providing for such improvements on all residence streets of the city, which was vetoed by the mayor three weeks ago. Major Wheeler owns property on this par- ticular part of Twenty-eighth street, and he proposes to test the efficlency of the measure there, with a view to reviving it should it prove effective. In order to secure uniformity in the ap- pearance of the street the work Is to be done under the city's direction and one contractor is to do it all. Bluegrass sod and soft maple trees will be used.

It will be urged that the heads of the houses be sent. Scents Some Trouble, The Commercial club sees In an an- nouncement of the Agricultural department of the United States government something which may injure business men of the city to a considerable exteni. Preamble and resolutions adopted at the session of the executive committee recites that It is un- derstood the department conteixplates the publishing of a number of formulae of pro- prietary articles used on the farm, includ- ing insecticides, stock foods, remedies and poultry foods, and that such a course would have a tendenc: to injure the buslness of the firms manufacturing these articles; therefore the club protests against such ac- tion and asks the department to reconsider its course, Endorses Irrigation Bill. A resolution endorsing the Irrigation bill now pending in congress, as amended, was adopted. Herman Drishaus, manager of the Gate City Hat company, was elected to membership in the club. A committee consisting of John Steel, G. M. Ribbel and George H. Lee was ap- pointed to visit the city council committes this afternoon for the purpose of represent- Ing the club in the matter of the closing down of the Union Pacific foundry. The committee was glven no Instructions and it was understood that it would take mo part in the discussion as to the proper course for the councll to pursue. GOOD ROADS MAN RETURNS Secretary Richardson Talks of Trip with Speci .1 Train Through South, R. W. Richardson, secretary of the Na- tional Good Roads assoclation, returned Sunday from the south, where he has been in charge of a road-building train of thir- teen cars, a complete account of which was in the illustrated supplement of last Sun- day's Bee. The train has made a tour of nearly all of the southern states, and In many of the principal cities good roads conventions were held to awaken public interest in the movement. “We visited the Charleston exposition,” sald Mr. Richardson, “and in the exposition grounds bullt a section of modern road, which attracted much attention and favor- able comment. While the Charleston ex- position presented many excellent features, it is mot to be compared for enterprise and originality with the Transmississippl exposition. The buildings as a rule were essentlally southern in their style of archi- ture, being low and characterized by heavy colonnades, porticoes and columns. “We have under contemplation now a tour through the northwest, but the plans for it are mot definitely settled as yet. 1 hope to be able to remain in Omaha for a while.” Guard Ag mitations.

Staf- ford, which took place Sunday afternoon from the residence of his son, Harry Staf- ford. The members of Nebraska lodge No 1 of the Masonic! fraternity had made ar- rangements to hold Masonic services at the grave, as Mr. Stafford was a past master of the lodg~s. The family had wmade arrange- ments for a hearse and two carriages from an undertaker, while the Yodge had secured ten carriages from another house. When the drivers of the carriages secured by the lodge arrived and saw the hearse and car- riages from the opposition house they de- clined to drive to the cemetery and returned their rigs to the stables. Other carriages were called, but their drivers also refused to take part In the funeral as long as the hearse and two carriages from the rival house were used, claiming that there was some sort of trouble between the employers and employes of the other institution. As a last resort the order for the hearse and two carriages was cancelled. The funeral was delayed an hour by the difficulty. CROCKER ABANDONS CONTEST Does Not Make S Warrant Continuing Fight for Register's Office. iclent Gains to On motlon of Thomas Crocker, republican contestant, the contest for the office of reg- ister of deeds of Douglas county was dis- missed at 3 yesterday afternoon by Judge Baxter, before whom the recount of ballots has been In progress. Mr. Crocker did not feel that the gains he was making were sufficlent to warrant his carrying the pro- ceedings further at the great cost that was being entalled. The official returns gave him 108 votes less than Harry Deuel, and In this recount he made no substantial gains in the first twenty-three precincts counted except in the Ninth precinct of the Third ward, where he gained twenty-seven. The contest of Charles Unitt for the county clerkship, which Harry Miller holds, will continue as Unitt is making better gaine than did Crocker and has a majority of only 32 to overcome.
