Not less than 300 republicans of this particular class have already told me that they would vote the whole demoeratic ticket in this county if the republicans undertook to put Mercer back into congressy You nized labor representative on the new po- lice board. They have him marked plainer than ever as & tool of the Union Pacific and other corporaticns, and it the republiean party doesn't turn him down at the pri- maries it is golug to pay the penalty at the polls in November. “‘Of course I'm in no position to boost Mercer.

I can give you & quiet tip right now that a good bunch of demoerats are out plugging for Mercer every day and if there are any democrats registered as republicans you can offer about tem to one that they will be ordered to vote for the Mercer delega- tions.

Speaking of the present state of affairs in the county republican committee, a member of that organization sald yesterday merning: “After being folled in an attempt to IGPRUNE CEREAL A grain and fruit Coffee—nourishing and invigorating. SOLD BY ALL GROCERS, T take snap judgment on the republicans of Douglas county in the selection of judges and ‘clerks, in utter disregard df law and precedents, the congressional committee, owned by D. H. Mercer and manipulated by Tom Blackburp, is now proposing to turn another trick.in deflance of the recent ac- tion of the county central committee. accessory to this trick Mr. Goss, as ¢ man of the county committee, a8 become a part In the amended cal him as such chairman in purs action of the county committee he has not provided for the filing of lists of candidates tlon with the secretary of the county cof- mittee. The manifest purpose of this omis- slon is to require all candidates for congress to file with Tom Blackburn their lists of nd submit to whateves action he | may ‘take with reterence to them and the | making up of the officlal ballot. The ex- \ecuunn of this scheme is political anarchy. ' It would result in two forms of ballot, each purporting to be official. It might fur- ther result in two separate conventions, thus bringing certaln defeat to the re- publican nominee for congress. To this desperate end has Congressman Mercer reached and to this end his co-conspirator, Tom Blackburn, is now scheming ™ The county committeeman quoted above sald In yesterday afternoon’'s Bee that Mr. Goss had at first made h's amended call to include the filing of congress'onal A, {tions with the county committee an later erased the word ‘“congressional” from the call, “evidently as the result of a conference with Tom Blackburn.” “1 want to be perfectlys fair,” said the committeeman last night, “and I will there- fore say that the copy of the amended call shown to me had the word ‘congress'onal’ written in and then scratched out again. 1 bave since learned that Mr. Goss in mak- ing this copy of the amended call inadvert- ently wrote the word and scratched it out Agaln s soon as his attention was called to it At & meeting of the Bighth Ward Repub- lican club last night at Twenty-second and Cuming streets, Chalrman Charles Anderson appolated these committees | Finance, James Allen, H.

MUST SUE IN COURT TO GET THEIR PAY ellmen Want Legal 8 Boards Determined by O Betore They Take Any Chance on rt Nelither of the boards of fire and police commissioners has been officially recognized by the city council and if the members of either body draw salary at this time for the month of August it will be by proce of law. When the appropriation ordinance to pro- vide for the payment of the saluries of city officers and employes was presented by Comptroller Westberg to the councll last evening it contalned the names of the mem- bers of both boards of fire and police com- missioners, the members of the mayor's board being credited with $3.23 cach salary for the first two days of August, members of the fire and police board and the same amount as members of the license board, and the appointees of the governor with the sum of $30.10 each as members of each of those boards for the remainder of the month. When in the regular course of business the ordinance was referred to the committee on finance and claims, whose only members present were Councilmen Whitehorn and Burl , It was returned with the recommendation that the pames of the members of both boards be stricken from the list. The same recommendation appiled to the salary of the mayor - member of both boards, but this wi t his own request, &s he is under either gon- struction of the law & member ex-officio of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners and the License board. ‘The report of the committee was adopted and the ordinance was passed as amended. The committee’s report was based om the advice of the city attormey, and speaking of the matter, Mr. Whitehorn sald: “As long as the legal status of this mat- ter bas not been flnally determined by the cpurts the committee thought it best that the city should pay mome of the salaries, rather than take the risk of having to pay them a second time. The members of the boards now have an opportunity to manda- mus us, and perhaps that will assist in the settlement of the question as to which is really the legally constituted board.” A communication was recelved m the hat $500 be appro- priated from the genmeral fund, provided the city comptroller could certify that amount to be available, for the purpose of erecting a platform in front of the city hall from which the Ak-Sar-Ben parade may be reviewed by President Roosevelt. It was referred to the committee on pub- lle property and bulldings. Tax Commissioner Fleming reported the appointment of twenty feld deputies to as- sess property in the city subject to taxa- tion for 1903 as follows: A. F. Ross, George W. Covell, Ben Durbam, Peter Kie- wits, P. L. Forgan, James M. Morris, T, C. Goodeon, J. E. Emblem, J. G. Arthur, Elias Svenson, M. J. Greevy, W. C. McLean, George W. Medlock, M. T. Kinney, Frank Plank, J. B. Quinby, Joho George Thompson, Frank P. Murphy and Charles Cohen. The communication was referred to the judiclary committee.
