A Redick, with the taxpayers and laboring men of the city strong for annexation, Mavor Thomas | Hoctor came out vesterday In a letter to | the woters asking that they cast their | votes against consolidation on next Tues- day His honer and his assoclatss sent out | approximately 4,600 ietters of this sort. | The letter has statements which do not | fit in with the provisions made in the | consolidation law. In fact, the mavor's great plea seems to be that South Omaha will have no representation in the Greater Omaha council for three years. Incidentally, the mayor will be out of office for one of the few interims in the last twenty-five yenrs. The letter bears the union stamp, forelgn laborers working on the public improvements who neither belong to unions nor spend their money in South Omaha for the most part While the mayor is making his pa- | no reference made in the letter to the | organization which, according fo best accounts, extends to & number of sa- loons. More than this, it is sald that a pumber of the police and a few of the firemen have been lined up to work against the law which will give them more pay and lesser hours. Tazpryers Are Wise, However, there is much deep disgust among the officeholders and their allles now that the people of the city seem set upon annexation. Threats of more In- junction suits have been made, but the decision rendered yesterday by Judge Redick has settled the minds of the men | who feared the law would not go into| effect. The court passing on the consti- tutfonality of the law has done much to put the officeholders out of the running. Today the park board and other office- holders will go reund to urge the people to vote a last $60,000 fssue of park bonds, and also to vote against annexation. But it js admitted their chances of success are small. At the Live Stock exchange yesterday bets were offered and not taken that South Omaha would cast a heavy ma- jority for consolidation. The packing! house men and rallroad employes made | no secret of their pleasure at the court| decision while the laboring organizations are delighted to get a chance to get away | from an administration that has ren up | taxes to pave streets which furnished em- | ployment to cheap forelgn labor while | resident laboring men and small home | owners lay idle at home.
