BAND WAGON IS HIT OF CAMPAIGN A. W. Jefferis and W. N. Chambers Tell Street Crowds Repub- lican Dootrine. Entry of the republican “band- wagon™ into \tha municipal political situation Saturday was the most im- portant development of the later stages of the campaign. The “bandwagon,” which was an automobile truck carrying four re- publican speakers, a fife and drum corps and several horns, invaded the downtown districts last night and made the “bit” of the campaign. More than 5,000 persons, it was es- timated, listened to speeches of good republican dootrine and exposures of “smug-faced democrats’ love of non- partisan polities in ‘a republican city.” The trip will be repeated Mon- day evening., At Fifteenth and Douglas streets, the storm ocenter of the hearers of rival “Ins" and Tm serted In large numbers to lsteh to the republicans. They visited also. Sixteenth and Capitol Avenue and Sixteenth and Douglas. All afternoon the “Bandwagon™ traveled the streets of Omaha bearing huge signs reading, “Help to Restore Confidence and Prosperity,” and bearing the names of republican candidates for the city commission. Exposes Demoerat Plot. A. W, Jefferis, chief speaker, gave his audience plain talk. He told them of the wave of republicanism which Is sweeping the country, of the need for Omaha to put mén in its city offices who will be In sympathy with the next national and state administration, and of the closed miils and factories in the east waiting for republican prosperity to re- open them. He exposed outwardly in- nocent but really designing attempts of democrats to elect all but two commis- sloners of their own party, and their ef- forts to put democrats in control of po- litical machinery in the city. “Seventeen thousand republicans are registered in Omaha,” he declared, “which is 7000 more than the democrats can muster. A hopeless minority of demo- crats is attempting to elect five out of seven city commissioners. Omaha Must Get In Line. “Omaha should get in line with Chicago, Bt. Louls, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Kan., and ail the other cities that just the other day voted republican. It is a part of the wave of republicanism which Is sweeping the country. Omaha should get ready for it; should join in. “National issues now are effecting every man and woman in the west, as well as in the .east. Placards on the closed mills and factories in the east tell the story—‘Closed by democratic tariff theories.’ The nation is about to make itself prosperous once more by putting républicans back into office. “Leave nonpartisanship to the demo- crats: who are trying to get republican votes by a.plausible outery.' Ed Leeder,. Wil Chambers, Matt Greevy and Sam Scott rode on the band wagun. Colonel John M. Berger, war veteran, wus in charge of the music. Mr Leeder introduced the speakers, who were, Mr. Jefferis and Mr. Chambers Mr. Chambers spoke of the records of the republican candidates for the com- pmission, laying emphasis on good work accomplished by Edward Simon in bring- ing about the paseage of anti-shark and mothers' pension legislation, whose op- ponents have attempted to take from him the credit due him.
