GEORGE PARKS IS NEW COUNCILMAN South Side Contractor Elected to Vacancy Caused by Death of John Drexel TO TAKE STREET DEPARTMENT George Parks, South Side con- tractor, was elected to the vacancy in the city council caused by the death of John C. Drexel. Mr. Parks will be assigned to the department of street *tleaning and maintenance and will en- ter upon the duties of his office next T'uesday when the council shall have approved his bond The commissioners were in execu- tive session about an hour before there were enough votes to elect Mr, Parks. Before beginning to ballot the commissioners decided that they would first make South Side man taken on George Parks, Thomas Hoctor, P. J. Martin, B, J Walker and Herman Beal, all of the Votes were Jarrett, Joseph South Side. Candidates in Omaha proper were not considered. Never Held Office. Mr. Parks is 58 years of age and has resided in the South Side twenty-| cight years. He never held public of- fice nor was he ever a candidate until this occasion. During 1888 he was sent from Chicago to South Omaha to build the Armour-Cudahy packing plant and thereafter made his resi- dence here. He built the Cudahy plants in Kansas City and San Fran- cisco and has had many paving con- tracts in the South Side. He is presi- dent of the National Construction company, with offices in the Brandeis building. The new commissioner is an Irishman, father of fourteen chil- dren and was married thirty years ago He is a member of the Knights of Co- umbus When the city council met at 10 a, m. to take up the matter of fillin, the commissionership vacancy H. C, Murphy of the South Side and James Walsh of Benson urged the council to select a South Side man, because such recognition would tend to ce- ment .a closer feeling between the merged communities. These. men urged no particular candidate, but contended that a South Side man would be the logical choice at this time. The only other speaker at the open session of the council was ]. J. Foye, who recommended Thom- as McGovern. Hold Executive Session. The council then adjourned to Commissioner Hummel’s office, where the executive session was held. During the early morning there were rumors that Dean Noyes, general foreman of the street department, would be elected, and it was conced- ed that if a South Side man would be named, Mr. Parks would be the choice. In the balloting Parks was the first candidate, He received three votes— those of the mayor, Butler and With- nell—right through until the break came, when Hummel switched from Martin and made the fourth and necessary vote to elect Parks. Then the commissioners made it unani- mous. Jardine stood out for Her- man Beals until he saw it was hope- less, When announcement was made in the council chamber that George Parks had been named Mr. Murph thanked the commissioners on bega{; of the South Side, saying, “Now the marriage of Omaha and South Oma- ha has been consummated.” Commissioner-Elect Parks an- nounced he would make no changes in the personnel of the street depart- ment and would seek counsel from the other commissioners. ; James and John Parks of the South Side are brothers of the new com- missioner.

JOHNSON WING MEN LOSE OUT Chicago, June Sixteen prospec tive votes for. Justice Charles E Hughes in the republican convention went by the board yesterday when the national committee voted to seat the Heary S. Jackson delegation of Geor gia. The action was taken after a lively contest which lasted more than ix hours and in which it was neces the personnel of sary to determine the Georgia state senate committee I'he delegation representing the ‘Walter H. Johnson wing” of the party in Georgia fought a stubborn battie. kach delegation came to Chi- cago ui ructed, but it has been gen- erally erstood that the Johnson delegation was prepared to support Justice Hughes while the Jackson lelegates were friendly to the candi- dacy of Senator Root with John W, Weeks of Massachusetts as second choice Disposes of Seven Protests. Previous to the consideration of the Georgia case the committee disposed of seven protests in Alabama, six reg- ular delegates-at-large being seated while a protesting delegate from the Ninth congressional district was re- turned a winner, The session of the committee lasted from 10:30 a. m. un- til 8:30 p. m. without a recess, the last six hours being occupied with the Georgia case which involved the entire delegation from that state. The question involved in the contest | was one of control of the state organ- ization, The Johnson and Jackson | factions were together four years ago and formed the Taft delegation which was seated after a contest, When the state central committee met this year to issue a call for a state convention there came a sharp disagreement over the place of holding the convention and the delegation was divided, each holding a meeting and issuing a call for a convention. Both state conven- tions were held and each, it was claimed, was called by a majority of the state central committee. Many Affidavits Presented. In the hearing of the contest today scores of affidavits were mesemmi. many of them contradictory. After two hours of argument Senator Smoot declared that 1ssue could be settled |only by determining which side really | had with it a majority of the state or- ganization, Delegates representing the faction of National Committeeman Henry S, | Jackson had affidavits to prove con- |trol and his delegates were seated ‘wnh only a few dissenting votes. The determination of the committee to dispose of the remainder of the sixty-two contests early was made | manifest when at the conclusion of | the long session it was voted to start tomorrow’s session at 9 o'clock and to continue without recess as was done today, { The Louisiana twelve delegates w contest involving 1 be the first taken Hay Fever Preparedness It is vitally important to millions of suf- ferers, Be prepared by ealling on your druggist or writing us for a hottle of “SNUFFINE,” Cook's Hay Fever Relief, a. positive and non-injurious relief for HAY FEVER or ROSE COLD.
