Laying plans for rolling up a substan- tial majority for the whole republican ticket on May 4 by ocareful organization, hearty and personal work by all, and a fight against the present democratic ad ministration, and for the retrieving and redeeming of the name and standing of Omaha among the municipalities of the country, a large attendance at the meet- Ing of the Central Republican club Thurs- day evening emphasized the fact that union and harmony exist among the republicans. Not only did many of the republican nominees attend and make speeches, but half a dozen or more of the defeated can- didates for the nominations made ad- dresses, boosting the entire ticket and definitely promised thelr personal and ar- dent support of the successful candidates in the contest to oust tme present pffice- holders. Breen Forecasts Victory. John P. Breen, republican candidate for mayor, was enthusiastically recelved when he appeared, a few minutes late, at the meeting. His characteristio talk, urging work and not anticipations, was received with applause, and when he declared that he believed a safe republican majority would be polled after a systematic and united campaign, those In attendance were not backward in endorsing the sentiment. “A normal republican majority, backed by harmony in the party and strengthened by the existing factionallsm among the demo- crats,” said Mr. Breen, ‘will easily elect | our whole ticket. Republican dissension Is the only hope of the democrats in the present campalgn. As there Is no repub- lican dissension, there is no hope for the democrats.” Ward captaine and club representatives told of the various prospects and organiza- tious, and a new club of hustling repub- lican hoosters was reported as having been organised. The “Breen Boosters,” a club of staunch young republicans, was gotten together for strenuous work Thursday night bofore the meeting of the Central club, and just to show their elders that they were alive and on the job a delega~ tion was sent to the latter meeting to an- nounce the fact that 1,00 of the younger voters are to be rounded up before the election, David A. Fitch Is president of the Breen Boosters, and the other officers are L. 0. Holmburg, secretary, and H. E. Izard, treasurer. The club will meet every Fri- day evening, commencing next week, at 108 Howard street, besides holding extra meetings now and then. Meetings in Sixth Ward. A republican meeting every Friday even- ing from today until election time is to be held at the hall at Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets, where Mr. Breen will begin operations tonight and other candl- dates will talk. The place has been se- oured as a meeting place for voters from all wards, every republican except mem- bers of the Breen Boosters being expected to attend there Instead of downtown on Friday nights. “A touch of color,” as President Hibbler of the Foraker club expressed it, “will be added to the ballot box in every ward by at least 75 per cent of the negro vote going republican.” This forecast was en- dorsed by Secretary Plummer of the Col- ored Men's club. A large republican club of mew Itallan voters was announced by Vincent Ran- anzz0, Others who spoke were W. W. Bingham, Beecher Highy, E. H. Davie, Charles Izard, James Lindsay, Frank Stone, Louls Berka, Henry E. Ostrom, Fred Schroeder, Louls Burmester, A. C. Kugel, Sam K. Green- leat, John S. Helgren, B. F. Morearty and Charles Unitt. “There are no soreheads among us,” was declared by several of the defeated can- didates. “We stand for the ticket from top to bottom and are going to make it win."
