The Republican primaries, for
nominating a legislative ticket for
Douglas county, are to be held to-
morrow. Douglas county is enti-
to two Senators and six Represent
atives. In view of the impor-
tant issues that are to be deter
mined by the coming Legislature,
it behooves every Republican to take
All active interest in in the selection
of delegates who are nominate the
ticket. The delegates chosen to rep
resent Omaha and Douglas County,
Republicans, should be honorable
and trustworthy men, whose
chief aim ought to bs the
nomination of an uneXceptionable
ticket. The opposition have already
made their nominations, and while
some of their candidates are deci-
dedly weak there are others whose
popularity must be conceded. The
Republican party can carry Doug
las county if we nominate
legislative candidates who possess
an unexceptionable record. 1t is,
therefore, of the very utmost i'm
portance that every Republican shall
express his choice through the pri-
mary. This is the only way to pre-
vent and forestall the nomination
of bad men. 1t is The only way to
secure the uccess of the party in a
conflict that will determine the po-
litical complexion of the next Uni
ted States Senator. No Republican
can afford to remain Indifferent
where such great issues are involved.
