Saved Againl

1t is gratifying to be able I o an
nounce that the good people Of Lincoln
have been saved again Notwithstanding
the drouth which they voted upon
themselves last spring.
Lincoln was saved the first time when
It was judicially decreed that the Off
GERS of the law must not interfere with
the distribution Of liquid refreshments
in club houses to members and their,
guests.
Lincoln was saved a second time
when its courts declined to interfere to
block the in drinkables
which had suddenly sprung up in Have
lock, or to prevent enterprising Have
lock merchants from delivering wet
goods to customers residing in the dry
belt of their sister city.
And now Lincoln has been saved
again for the third time by an accom-
modating police Judge who holds that
the anti-treat law does not apply to
friends passing around the welcome
bottle. A mar In Lincoln may still
treat his neighbor, and his neighbor
may next time r~eciprocate by treating
him, without facing the rock pile.

Representative Fowler of New

thing OF a case against Speaker Can
o on the charge that the speaker
sometimes plays congressional politics
instead Of studying scientific finance,
but the vitriolic nature of his Ian

letter was not a deliverance suitable
to a leader in financial legislation

estly hopes to see a complete and wise

Holbrook Observer: The amended primary
law doesn't seem to partake Of any more
advantages than the original law. The bal
lot, which the new law requires, is large
and unwieldy. and about as "freaky" as
the Sink bedsheet measure passed by the
last legislature, yo' UNI stan.
PlAttsmouth Journal: The light vote polied
all over the state indicates that the farm
ers do not care\to have a voice in noml-
mating candidates of their party, even
when they have the opportunity. The pri-
mary law should be repealed at the very
first opportunity. It has proved very ex-
pensive and a farce.
Loup City Northwe stern: The primary
ballots at Omaha were larger than the
polling booths and voters had to go out
side Of the booths to fold and unfold
them for voting. Sample ballots had TO
be tackled up on walls as they were too
large to take into the booths. Some of
the beauties Of the rotten primary law.
Battle Creek Enterprise: The recent
primary election has demonstrated very
clearly thai the Nebraska farmer. cannot
be induced to leave the harvest field to
boost political favorites. He seems per-
feetly willing to allow the cities and towns
to name candidates while he handles dollar

Broken Bow Republican,: That the pres
ent primary law gives an opportunity for
corruption is evident from the fact that
one party is given an opportunity to vote
for weak men on another party ticket. In
a farming community like ours the people
are not corrupt enought to do It, but give a
ward boss in a city the same opportunity
and see what will happen.
Atkinson Graphic: The primary system
is a farce and should be repealed by the
next Legislature. II has not one redeeming
feature and is a big burden on the tax
payers who nave to foot the bills for hold

the attendance is not sufficient to make I'D

race for every office is an open one in this
state. Any gazabo has a perfect right to
get into 1t on equal terms with every

velop that any coterie OF self-constituted,
self-anointed politicians has undertaken

are resenting the autocratic and Of
fensive methods Of che old democratic
machine. Ring rule has gone so far
that thousands have taken up the cry
Of revolt that Ex-Governor Montague
raised a few years ago. The general
feeling that the republican, and not
the democratic, party represents ma
tionally the preferences Of the state
has grown rapidly since M%ontague's
day and will appear IN the vote this
fall. Kent, the republican nominee,
stands high socially. His character Is
respected by all parties. 1t is con-
sidered certain that his vote will run
above the average party strength.
1t is possible, though not probable,
that Kent will be elected. The repub-
licans have little strength Of ~organiza-

ready to burn their bridges and openly
separate from the leaders who have

Points on the Primary

mill cut VIA might be termed the para
mount figure in the counting Of votes at
the primary.
Lexington Pioneer. The ballots showed
not only dishonesty but a lack OF k1owi-
edge OF the requirements OF the law. Dem
oorats voted for republicans when they
should have voted for,men on their own
tickets, which Is dishonest, and others
voted for candidates on more than one
ticket, which Is Ignorance and caused the
ballots 90 marked to be thrown out. The
primary law is much superior 90 the old
convention methods where a few steered
the proceedings ana made the slate before
the convention was held, but unless the
voters act honestly and intelligently the
primary viii also fall into disrepute and
be done away with.
Rushville Recorder: The primary system
OF nominating candidates Is still on trial,
and likely to be for some time to come,
II we may Judge from the changes and
tinkering by successive legislatures who
embody their ideas without Weighing them
from all points. SO far az giving people
their choice of candidates is concerned,
there are some who believe. in this neck
OF the woods, at least, II is no improve
ment over the convAtion system judged
from the election just held. 1t is true the
people can take their own choice among
the aspirants, but many OF the latter are
not the official timber that would be Sc
lected In a convention. Some even contend
that as good and better men were secured
under the convention system. II bgins to
look as though the primary system was all
very well In theory, but poor In practice
In sheridan county.
Grand Island Independent; In one pre-
cinct in this city about 80 per cent OF
the ballots was thrown out because those
voting them did not understand what a
primary election was. And 1t Is equally
strange and almost beyond comprehen-
sion, that people Of good discrimination in
other matters, seem unable TO grasp the
fact that the election is only for party
adherents, cannot be compared with a
general election, and that in some cases
they even pose-because It can be done
in secret-as being what they are not,
by voting the primary ticket of a party
with which they rave never affiliated, and
defend that sort of thing. II the primary
law is ever given a fair chance, and re-
mains unchanged for a few years, and II
the people whom Il is intended to give a
larger and more effective voice in govern
mental affairs, will study Il, become ac-
customed to 1t, and take the necessary
interest in the affairs of their respective
parties, some of these unfavorable IL not
unwholesome conditions will be remedied.
II Motif the ordinary voter to whom the
primary gives the rlght freely, uncoercedly
to express his choice Of party candidates
and maxi political combination and ma
chine methods impossible, prefers not to
have that right and would rather a the
combination and machine methods which
attended the old system, and which are
a natural result OF the other system, 1t
will be better to return to the old sys-
tenn.
