At the head of the hst 18 Jeromiah Howard, who filed for the of- fice of mayor. Jerry became Indignant when he was asked on what ticket he in- tended to run. “Phwat but th' one on which 1 waz elicted before, to be shure,” he said. He was put down a dempcrat. Frank N. Good has filed as democratie candidate for city clerk. He is employed in the office of County Attorney James Eng- Msh. He will be opposed for the nomina- tion by Ed P. Roggen, who has also filed as a democrat, John J. Gillin, the present city clerk, has flled for the office of treasurer on \he democratio ticket.

Representative Jerry Howard spoke yes- terday at the Commercial club in behalf of his candidacy for mayor. After asser ing that he “possessed the two qualific tions to fili the office, honesty and com- petency,” Mr. Howard betrayed great con cern for the condition of wage earners sayinz Soclety s sllent on the distribution of the wealth of this great nation. The only relief society offers the downtrodden and oppressed laboring man and woman is to Labi v & aind juvenile courls, farm products of the nation this year were computed by the secrctary of agriculture to be worth more than $5,000,- 0w, 000, This club represcnts society; what has it done toward the uplifting of the oppressed workman? There must be convenience somewhere ofticially or otherwise. In direct violatign of law and decency, could overbearing Insolence and arrogance o further than our poiice force during the Omaha street car strike? Can the stagnant blood in the veins of my fellow citizens be aroused? Vigllance is the price of freedom. What {s the matter with that ninety-nine section sanitary ordinance? Not one of the sections. is enforced. What Is the cause of this disgraceful treatment the railroads are giving our citizens? You have to g0 1o Omaha tu get on or off a train The statute of limitations don’t prevent the city from recovering back the twenty acres donated to the raiiroads by republi- can and democratic administrations. A little later, Mr. Howard announced himself “the man of the hour,” saying: I am not here to crave your suffrage, neither am I here endeavoring to intimi. date or influence you; I am not your can- didate. Nevertheless,' under the clreum- stances some of you may support me; I am here to prove that I am the man Of the hour, and the logical candidate. 1 am to be the next mayor:of your city, notwith- standing the opposition of the political manipulators and the money, that Is to be squandered by the special interests in their anxiety for my defeat. The ‘man who will be the servant of ail the people and not the kervile tool of the politicians and special interests will be the winner this time. Treasurer's Monthly Report. The clty treasurer, C.

TARIFF AND FOREST RESERVES President Gooding Says These Two Important Questions to Be Considered—Wool Ware- house a Success. Are OGDEN, Utah, Jan. 7.—~The National As- soclation of Wool Growers met in annual session at 2 o'clock|yesterday. _Thedele- gates were welcomed|by Mayor Glassmann and Governor Spry. \ John Hart of Idaho replied on behalf of the convention. Thc annual address of the president and the western and eastern vice president of the assoclation were then given. Fred W. Gooding of Shoshone, Idaho, president of the association, in his annual address said that the most Important ques- tions before the assoclation were the tarift, | the administration of the natlonal forast | reserves, the sixteen-mile-an-hour law for the transportation of live stock and the na- | tional wool warehouse. The establishment of a national wool warehouse, Mr. Gooding said, had been a notable success and had frustrated the buy- ers' trust. He recommended a federal law providing a sixteen-mileran-hour minimum speed Umit for stock tralns. i President Gooding sald that a better un- derstanding was being brought about be- tween the forestry bureau and stockmen. and he suggested a law authorizing the president of the United States to appoint a committee from the great live stock as- | soclation, whose judgment on national ve- | gources should be given equal weight with that of the Forestry department. A. J. Knollin of Chicago, eastern vico president, quoted many statistics showl the capacity of eastern and middle st | to sustain a much larger number of sheep | than at present | ““The stabllity of our sheep and wool in- | dustry,” said Mr. Knollin, ** tained only by & permanent protective | tariff—a tariff that protects the erc bred | and lower grades of wool, and unless sheep | are profitable, our farmers put them aside for other things not requiring such vare- es can be main- Steel Trust Fight™ Carried to Taft Labor Federation Asks President -to Investigate Legality of Big Corporation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The American Federation of Labor, through & committee headed by Samuel Gompers, James O'Con- nell and other union leaders, today carried its fight agalnst the United States Steel corporation to President Taft The committee presented to the president a formal paper in which the members set forth fourteen different charges of illegal- ity against the steel corporation and asked for an Immediate investigation of the so- called trust, which they claim is operating in deflance of the United States statutes. The president promised to take the matter up with the secretary of commerce and la- bor and with Labor Commissioner Neill The first charge against the steel corpor ation is that it is an illegal combination. The labor leaders declare if the government officlals will present to a competent court the facts concerning the steel corporation a decision against the corporation's legality would follow. “It is not to be doubted,” says the letter to the president, “that the law and courts can reach this monopoly, even if its annual revenue is counted in the hundreds of mil- lions of dollars. Its power of wealth must not be permitted to paralyze the arm of the law.” SENATOR PERKINS INJURED Californian Slips on Jce and Feared His Spine s Hurt, it s WASHINGTON, Jan.
