OMAHA NEEDS A NEW MAYOR Reasons for Getting Rid of Jim Au: Many and Plain. TRUTH TOLD TO THE CITIZENS w ston Hall Raily How City Has Suf- Talke eakers at Point Omt fered—Melklesol te Boosters. Interest nover flagged at the republican rally held in Washington hall Friday, and, though the speakers several times intimated that they had better bring their remarks to & close, cries of “go on” frem the interested auditors kept them on the and it was near midnight before adjourned. The gallery the large hall had to opened to ac- commodate the crowd and only a few left pefore the meeting closed at the late hour Addresses were made by George D. Meik eljohn, former assistant secretary of war Harry B. Zimman, member of tne council for the last nine years; 8. A. Sedrle and John P. Breen, the republican nominee for mayor. John L. Kennedy presided, and several campaign songs were glven by the Breen Boosters' quartet Three Parties in Omaha. There are three political parties in Omaha,” said Mr. Searle. “First and fore- mast, the largest and victorious over all, is the republican party. Second, following the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson and of the simon pure democratic brand, are the Jacksonian democrats, numbering about 160, whom you and I belleve will vote the republican ticket this spring. Third, we have the Dahiman brand, the Jim brand, it you please, of democracy. “This last named so-called democracy has cantered up and down the last three years on w bucking broncho until it has made Omaha the laughing stock of the country. Thirly years ago, when I first came to the state, a man from Omuaha was as good as any other. But now comes a man with a lariat and we don't know where we stand in the estimation of our fellows. Why platform the meeting be do these false prophets with their false plattorms on which they have never | stood and never intend to stand, govern the affairs of this city? Do you mean to tell me that Mayor Jim and Ig. Dunn can do any more good than can repub- lleans who mean what they say, say what they mean, and live up to their platform? 1f you were a member of a company would yoa select this man with the lariat rope and midnight gyfations as president of company? No, you know you wouldn't.” your Party and Principles. Mr. Mefkeljohn talked largely on principles and Iis hearers to the party ticket and redeem the city, con- gresslonal distrlet and state. The former war secretary sald he was glad he had at Just made bis home in Omaha, but that he would enjoy iils resdence in this city bet. ter If the city had a better administration “A party is wade up of principles; can- didates are but the exponents of those principles,” sald Mr. Melkeljohn. “The re- publican party is a party of principles, and we come to you tonight as the party of Lincoln of Grant, of Blaine and of Taft. Anfl we come to you as a party with men— and 1 use that word with emphasis and in the fullest meaning—as standard-bearers, “But how fs It with the democratlo party? “With the democrats the candidate is primary; the principle of secondary fmport- ance. They say on their placards: ‘Three more years of Mayor Jim,' but they say nothing of principles. They have picked “Jim' as thelr star, but he is not a star of the first magnitude and he wil soon pass away. “What we want in Omaha is an honest decent, clean business administration, and with that you will see this city grow to become one of the largest between the At- lantic and the Paciffc oceans and between Canada and the gulf.” Politics and Personal Liberty. Mr. Breen touched again on the temper- ance question, denying the persistent state- ments made by the opposition that lieves in streiet prohibition gloats over the enactment of the § o'clock closing law. He also called up the demo- cratic pledge of three years ago to give par(y asked vote the people all personal liberty possible and | reminded his hearers that it was a demo- cratlc legislature that killed this very pr- sonal liberty, closing by showing that the republican party has always been the party of personal righ “The republican party was born struggle for personal rights and party that has glven you ever personal liberty you now enjoy mayoralty nominee. “Tt was can party that in 1882 placed upon the statute books of this state the Slocumb law, which up to the time of the late amented legislature sustained the efficacious of the liquor traffic, It was the republican party which has ever defended your Interests “This Slocumb law. the work of the re. publican party, is of vital Interest to every one of you and it must be retalned.

Harry Zimman made a thoughtful ad- dress, quoting many figures to show the size of Omaha as a business corppration and pointed out the necessity for selecting competent business men to conduct the af- fairs of the municipality properly The meeting closed with a unanimous vote endorsing George Cralg, candidate for city engineer.
