Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-18

lation to every ballot as a nominee for an
office and must be so treated when you
count the ballots. For instance, II a voter
makes a cross in the party circle at the
head of his ballot, the ballot must be
counted for the amendments unless such
voter directs otherwise by especially voting
against them. The fact that, after making
his cross in the party circle, a voter marks
his ballot so as 20 vote against some of
the nominees of his party will not consti-
tute a vote against the amendments unless
he expressly votes against them by making
a cross in the squire provided for THAI
purpose.
Eagles and Ak-sar-Ben.
John ]. Ryder, state president of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, speaking of the
next national convention of the order, to
be held lD Omaha, says:
IT note in various Eagle publications a
proposition is being agitated to hold the
grand acre meeting at the same time as
the Ak-Sar-Ben festival. In my judgment,
that would be a grave mistake, and I do
not believe the result would be at all salts
factory. The Eagle. convention will very
likely draw 5000 people to Omaha. because
of its very central location geographically
and because OF the many trunk lipes Of
railroad running into Omaha.
THE Ak-sar-Ben festivities always draw
an immense throng, and next year will be
no exception. Omaha simply would not De
able to take care of the m%ultitudes IL the
two events were to be combined. We want
all Eagles wfb come, and their friends, t.
have the enjoyment OF comforts of living
as well ss fraternal pleasures. Hence, We
must not encourage any move that would
crowd everything to the utmost possible
limit, and beyond. So l am in favor of the
grand aerie meeting being held about the
frat urhnk In 2nRtapahar nfha- o,,. ,v.,sN.-
conditions are, as a rule, ideal for real
enjoyment. and l hope the Omaha commit
tees having the arrangements in charge
will work to have the grand eerie meeting
at that time
