ZIMMAN FLAYS THE DEMOCRATS | Arraigns In 0-! tration and Shows Methods While Three Years | i a earnestness and P. Breen spoke with more than usual vigor last night at the Central Republican club rooms, exposing the misrepresentations and falsehoods which have recently been published against him in a democratic paper, and also pald his respects to 1. J. Dunn and other de- pendents of the democratic administration 10 have misquoted the records and other- distorted the truth in an effort to discredit the work Mr. Breen dtd when he held the office of city attorney. A large number of votars were present, the rooms being filled to overflowing. Mr. Breen belleves that such metliods as are employed will do him more good than harm. “In golng from place to place through- out the city,” the republican candidate sald, “T find more and more that there is a growing conviction and determination on the part of the people of the city of Omaha that they will not be inflicted, and I use that word advisedly, that they will not be inflicted with three years more of an ad- ministration such as we have had in the last three years. There i a latent spirlt among the peo- ple which is rising and which will prove that Omaha is not without civie pride.

The man who wrote those lines either nmever knew me or he wrote a deliherate falsehood.

W. W. Slabaugh presided and made the first address. “I am a trimmer—of the democrat office reckers,” declared Mr. Breen, in reply to a cartoon of himself, nublished Thursday morning {n an Omaha newspaper. “1 stand opposed to Dahlman, Dahimanism and all| thut they have meant to Omaha. “One of the main issues of the present campaign 18 the redemption of this city | from the blght that hus been cast upon ity fair name, reputation and commercial avd political prestige from Maine to Cali-| fonta.

A, Searle thowed their interest in the municipal campalga by their presense at the meeting. In a detailed exposition of the last democratic platform and the way in which tie present administration has failed to live up 10 ita vote-catching promises, Mr. Zim- man shawed why the democrats should not be returned lo office for another three years. His address was extended, but when he proposed to stop after talking for some time, in order to allow others to take the floor, a pravalent demand caused him to continue with hie skiliful arraignment of | democratic incompeteney and breach of | faith ir: the administration. Applause in- | terrupted him at frequent intervals. First anrouncing that Mr. Breen haa “beat bim 1o It" at the primaries, after a fair and open race, he sald he would sup- port the nominee, not only as a republican and a personal friend, but because he is thoroughly capable of handling municipal o ffatrs. He cited the independent telephone ana the “open town" issues and deglared that making the water bonds an Issue in the municipal election Is throwing sand in people’s eves with the Intention of catch- ing their votes for the preser: coterie of office holders while the citizens are Blinded by other issues than their fitness | and record in office Council Incompetent B Saying that the democratic campalgn pamphlet does not claim anything for Mayor Dahlman, when giving the record | \ v, Spring | Overcoats Youw'll get more wnd comfort Overcoat, all from a tor early round satisfaction light welght Spring morning and evening than from any other garment, espec it it's a Nicoll wear y Overcoat That's because o buying the Al our skill into we put all our knowledge | ght sort of fabrics, and making them up properly sonably Priced $25 to $40 TAILOR LLIAM JERREMS' SONS, 808-11 Sowth 15th St | | | A T A | Omaha churches free of charg | The total on hand is $53,22051, and the bal- | cluding | Emerson laundry Dora | w of the present administration. Mr. Zimman drew the conclusion that Dahlman had not done anything, and then proceeded to ex- pose the record of the council, as based | upon the records of that body. Giving | facts and figures for his statements and | challenging uny person or the adminis- tration or the democratic or indepandent press to refute his declarations, he attacked the present council and sald he “never be- fore mat with such an incompetent bunch of men." Their chief end In office. he sald, was to support a gang of democratfc office holders, “A newspaper story on how the demo- crats had pald off so much bonded in debtedness and had otherwise conducted an | economical administration, was not true. The money used by the democrats In their ‘sconomical administration, * he sald, “had been left by the republicans through the operation of the republican scavenger tax law, which was operated by the work of | a republican city attorney, John P. Breen “The democrats have falled the 01 s and other planks in thelr platform of | three years ago. There is a deal up by the | mayor and council on one hand and the | franchised corporations on the other, ‘whereby the latter are not to be taxed for the occupation of the streets and the administration 1s to be supported for re election. A. W. Jetferls spoke of the fact that Omaha is without a voice in one of its cltizens in the United Statés senate, without a voice in the majority in the house, and its democratic administration ls without & volce with the state legislature, although the latter is democratic. “It is time,” he declared, “for Omaha to again take its place with cities of impor- tance and progress by throwing off the present incompetent city government, the | weight of democracy, that is now holding | us back. By so doing, we would take & step toward having an Omaha republican | in the national senate, an Omaha repubi- can in the house of representatives, and & republican state legislature, which would not throw us down and give us § o'clock | home rule.” &' dan, | economios), and letwetipiog | administration was endorsed by Howard | H. Baldrige, as what the people wanted, ! and what the republican ticket would give, |, it electod. The enforcement of 'the laws, statutes and ordinances he declared to be the policy of the party, as compared with the violation and nonobservance of them by the democrats. { The candidates, besides Mr. Breen, who | spoke, were Sam K. Greenleal for city | clerk, John 8. Helgren for comptroller, F\ C. Gardiner for bullding Inspector, and the following men for counciimanic positions: Louis Berka, Dr. E. Holovichiner, Louls Burmester, David H. Christle, Henry W | Ostrom and George D. Rice. Brown Held Guilty, Gets Life Penalty| Negro Murderer Condemned by Jury in Forty Minutes’ Time Ye: terday Afternoon. Henry Brown was found guflty of mur- der in the first degree yesterday after- noon by the jury in forty minutes from the time it retired. The penalty was fixed at life imprisonment. The verdict ‘was the expected one, al- though it was felt by a few that there was a possibllity of hanging and such a punishment was suggested to the jury by County Atterney English in summing up. English began speaking when court con- vened after the noon Intermission. In the morning J. M. Macfarland had pleaded In the prisoner's behalf, Deputy County At- torney L. J. Piattl speaking before him. There is no likelilhood that a new trial will be fought for, although Brown hopes for it, because the man might very likely find himself worse off at the end than he now ls. Brown celebrated Washington's birthday by stabbing to death Sam White, another colored man, in the Union Pacific yards. He had been jealous of White for some time, a colored girl, Lillie Wilson, being the woman involved.
