duty of preparing the official ballot
in legal form, and upon him must fall
the odium of preparing 1t wrong and
putting the taxpayers to additional ex-
pense for mandamus suits and the In
evitable reprinting. But, although he
violated no law himself, Secretary
Marsh is the man who ought to bear
the blame He knew that the average
republican county clerk always looks
to some one above him to learn what
to do; he knew that his certificate was
a hypnotic suggestion to the county
clerk to print the official ballots that
way. And most Of them did so, unless
restrained, as many of them were, by
the orders Of some court.
When questioned about the matter
last year, Secretary Marsh added lying
to his other doubtful omplishments,
by saying that he forgot about" the
supreme courts decision. Howbeit,
The Independent was not deceived and
determined to watch His Political Ac-
cidency. At it's suggestion the populist
state committee this year served no.
tice upon every county clerk in the
state, calling attention to the decision
and demanding that the peoples in
dependent party be accorded a sep
arate line and separate party circle.
The Independent had guessed cor
rectly. The peanut" politician again
made his certificate of nomination in
the form of ballot, and again copied
the interdicted Schedule A." And,
strange to say, the very county clerk
against whom the writ had been
granted, slayishly adopted the secre-
tary's suggestion.
This necesstated another mandamus
suit. which was again brought in SUI
preme court. OF course, it could have
but one result-another writ. This
time the plea of mo use to issue the
writ--I'l obey without It." did not go.
1t was duly issued and served last
Saturday unon the exceedingly forget
full gentleman.
There is no doubt that the secretary
OF state. the republican state chair
man. and other prominent republicans
in Nebraska, deliberately plotted 10
bring about this violation of law In
every county they possibly could. If
there were any possible way To im-
peach the secretary for his part OF
the dirty work, The Independent

During the preceding five weeks The
Independent has devoted more than
the usual amount OF space to the dis
cussion of Nebraska politics. Now
that the state campaign has ended 1t
can return to it's former policy OF
giving more space to questions OF ma
tional importance. But at this time
it seems advisable to relate little
history of the ups and downs OF the
so-called Australian ballot in Nebras-
ka, matter of interest to those out
side as well as those inside the state.
The populist legislature OF 1891 en-
acted the first Australian ballot law.
It provided for alphabetical arrange
ment of the names of candidates under
each Office heading, with the party
name to the right. Voting was done
by making cross In ink at the right
OF the party name.
This law received number OF jul
dicial interpretations which need rot
here be recounted, but remained on
the statute books until repealed by
the populist-democratic legislature OF
1897. The Belgian or blanket form
was then adopted, with separate col
umn for each party, with party en-
blems, circles for straight voting, etc.
From a populist standpoint, this
change was undesirable; but the DEM
ocratic members from Omaha urged 1t
because, as they claimed, many or
their voters were not sufficiently edu-
Gated to vote the original form, which,
because Of its alphabetical arrange
ment, was irregular In arrangement
as to political parties. For example,
Henry Adams, the populist candidate
for governor, would head the group
under Governor" but Eric Adamson,
the republican candidate, would come
first under the head of Lieutenant
Governor" and an illiterate voter
could not be instructed to make his
cross after the first name, or the sec
ond name, in each group In order TO
vote er straight.
The ballot OF 1897 lasted two years.
Then the republican legislature of 1899
changed back to the original form, but
provided that the arrangement should
be uniform under each head, stating
that "The party polling the highest
number OF votes at the last general
election for the head of the state ticket
shall have the right of Is nominee Inn
mediately beneath the name Of the
Office for which such candidate WAS
nominated" and so on. 1t provided
also for group-voting in the case of
presidential electors.
The ballot OF 1899 also lasted two
years. The republican legislature of
1901 amended 1t by adding party
names and party circles, to be placed
at tho top OF the ballot, so that a
straight party ticket might be voted
by making cross in he party circle.
The section Of the law providing this
said
AT the top and left side of the
ballot shall be printed in black
faced capital type, not less than one
eighth Of an inch high. the name of
each party having candidates on the
ballot; and to the right of each
party name, circle one-half inch
in diameter, with leaders connecting
the party name to the circle"
Notwithstandin the fact that this
provision Is written in the singular
number. the 1901 amendment provided
a tentative form of ballot, known as
Schedule A in which the party
names and party circles were shown
in this manner:
