[T OMAHA SCHOOL BOARD Two years ago, when the CITIZENS’ TICKET was before the voters, and who were elected, the World-Herald said edi- torially October 15th: The school board ticket presented with the indorsement of the citizens’ com- mittee is one of exceptional merit. It cannot fail to appeal forcefully for the support of every vhter, man or woman, whose sole concern in the school board election is the welfare of the Omaha public schools. F . On the citizens’ ticket is represented the very best business and professional abil- ity to be found in Omaha. The citizens’ committee says truly: “These candidates are well known, of excep- tional character and demonstrated capacity, and will have the confidence of all the prople of Omaha who desire the best service in public office. These men yielded to the call of duty at considerable sacrifice to their-personal affairs, and the people of the city will do well to take advantage of this opportunity. Especially valuable is this advice of the committee to the voters: “It is not suf- ficient to elect one or two goad men. To be sure of your board you must CONCEN- TRATE YOUR VOTE—VOTE FOR EIGHT.” . Seldom if ever before have the people of Omaha had the opportunity to call to their service men of such notable ability and standing. The position is purely one of service. It carries no salary. It confers no high honor. It entails much hard work and calls for the fullest measure of unselfish devotion. The candidates on the citizens’ ticket are not self-seekers, They are not eager to use the school board for their pri- vate benefit or for the benefit of their friends, or to make of it a stepping stone to higher office or a tool of politics. Their one motive is to give their ability and energy to bringing about a betterment in the conduct of school affairs. ‘The situation is squarely up to Omaha voters. They have the chance to put their public schools in the hands of men whose service $100,000 a year could not ire, but who are ready to give their services for nothing. They have the chance, by doing so, to take our school control out of ward politics and gang politics and to lift it above the plane of petty personalities and spites and grudges and favoritism. What do you think of it, Mr. and Mrs. Voter? Do you want your schools man- aged by the biggest and ablest men in Omaha? These statements are equally applicable and true today, when eight men are to be elected. The slogan is SELF-SEEKERS TO THE REAR The following successful men are not seeking the position, but they have been conseripted, and will, if elected, give the voters of Omaha efficient service: _ CITIZEN’S TICKET FRANCIS A.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS. 0 S Prohibition vs. High License W. J. Connell, who came to Omaha with the birth of Nebras- ka as a state and has witnessed the growth and-development of Omaha from a town of less than 15,000 people to a magnificent city of over 160,000 inhabitants, upon*being interviewed as to his views of prohibition, responded that he had come to feel a good deal like the old Quaker who said to his better half, “Wite, I do believe everybody has gone crazy except me and thee! and at times I have my doubts if we are not a little bit off in the upper story.” Notwithstanding these doubts, Mr. Connell’s views are as follows: “I favor the present high license system over proposed abso- luté prohibition for the following reasons: “First—Our present high license law is in effect a local op- tion law. “Second—Under the present high license system, where public sentiment will sustain prohibition, you can have pro- hibition. This is true of every county in Nebraska, under exist- ing law. Where the sentiment of the people in any city or county does not sustain prohibition, this attempt to enforce it will be a dismal failure. “Third—It is better to have regulation of the liquor traffic than bootlegging, which is certain to follow attempted pro- hibition. “Fourth—Certain evils have existed from time immemo- rial, and will continue to exist in some form for all time to come. They can be regulated, but not wiped out by law or constitu- tional amendments. “Pifth—There is less danger from an open fire that can be seen and kept within proper control than from a concealed or smothered fire. 3 “Sixth—What a person wants, they will have. “Seventh—To be denied anything only creates the desire and increases the determination to have it anyhow. “Eighth—You can’t legislate goodness into anybody. “Ninth—It is education, not legislation, that makes people better. The teaching of the ill-effects of alcohol on the human system, as now taught in our public schools, is doing more for tge cause of temperance than all the prohibition agitators in America. “Tenth—1It is excess in the use of anything, not the thing itself, that cause injury. 3 ) “Eleventh—More people are injured and greater harm is done the human race by over-eating than by over-drinking. Is the next move to be a regulation of our diet by law? Where are the personal rights of the individual to commence and where will the fanatical movements now under w‘il‘nd in prospect end? “Twelfth—Revenue from the authorized regulation of the liquor traffic is far Dbetter than the burden of taxation under a non-enforcible prohibitory amendment. “Thirteenth—We should first get out from under the harrow of existing debt and taxation before making this jump to prohibition. “Fourteenth—We should not vote unnecessary and crushing burdens on our- selves, where no compensating benefits will result. “Fifteegth—Omaha has prospered under the present high-license system, and Nebraska un!er exiutin% conditions has grown to a magnificent State. %Vhy sand- bag both City and State?”
