LINCOLN. Aug. 1S.-CSpecial The pri-
mary I'm Lincoln was a great frolic for
the democrats, who took advantage OF the
work OF their Legislature, which amended
the primary law so that voters could cast
their ballots for candidates regardless Of
party affliation, and were busy all day.
They dipped in not only in the fight -
the republicans for positions on the state
ticket. but they worked hard for and
against republican candidates on the
county ticket
Last night hard working democrats
walked the streets and Dragged about
voting for or against this republican and
that republican, They had no contests OF
their own in this county and were left
free to vote for the republicans
T. ]. Doyle. three years ago democratic
candidate for congress in this district
said he voted the straight republican ticket
for the first time in his life His excuse
was that he believed the republicans
would be successful this fall and there
fore he desired TO assist in the nomination
Of the strongest men. Felix Newton,
bookkeeper at the Lincoln asylum, said he
voted his Russians for the men he con-
sidered the weakest on the republican
ticket.
The independent" voter who would get
in politics providing he did not have to
tell his party affiliations, failed to get
busy as the vote was far short OF ex-
pectations. When the primary bill was
pending democrats insisted to have the
open primary would mean a largely In
creased vote.
With several precincts still missing the
following have beyond doubt been nomi-
mated in Lancaster, each having a hard
contest: II. v. Hoagland. sheriff; Jack
Matthews coroner; Billy Clinton. regis

TAFT IS READY FOR TEST
President Not Alarmed by Rumors of
Attack on Corporation Tax.
SUCH ACTION IS ANTICIPATED
Is Something of n Lawyer Himself
aud Eminent Attorneys Agree
with Him that IL is
Valid.

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug B.-Reports
which are reaching Beverly daily from
Washington and New York that the con-
stitutionaity of the new lbrooratior tax
is to be tested just as soon as an effort
is made to collect it nave not disturbed
the president the least as he laughingly
told a number of callers at the Taft cottage
today. The tests and the protests. the
president declared, were all anticipated.
Mr. Taft, himself a lawyer of some
emnence and father Of the corpora tion
tax idea, is thoroughly convinced that the
tax will stand any test that may be applied
to it, Attorney General Wickersham, a
corporation lawyer of note, and Senator
Root, celebrated on the corporation tax
provision of the tariff bill and the measure
as enacted, they believe, will survive any
attempt to nullify It.
Plans for New LegisIatfOn.
Attorney General Wickersham is coming
to see the president Friday to discuss with
him a plan for reorganization OF the duties
OF the Interstate Commerce commission
amendment of the Sherman antitrust law,
and bringing interstate corporations more
definitely under the control of one branch
of the government.
In his speech of acceptance. in his inau-
gural address and during his campaign
tours President Taft definitely committed
himself to the so-called Roosevelt poll,
cies." and declared that the principal ain
of his administration would be TO establish
the necessary machinery to enforce these
laws.
IT,
chinery to enforce the laws on the statute
books is now inadequate. He believes thai
the Interstate Commerce commission is
overcrowded with work and that 1t ought
to be relieved of its jurisdiction as a leg
islative body, its functions TO be limited
to the quasi judicial investigation Of com
plants made by individuals and by de
partment of government charged with the
legislative business Of supervision. The
president also believes that under tn,
Sherman antitrust law as it stands today
there Is much to interfere with Legitimate
business, but that by amendment it car
be made an effective and just instrument
Quick, Decisive Action.
To bring about a coalition of the Law
departments of the various government
departments which have to deal will
railroads and other interstate corporations
and trusts" so as TO permit Of quick and
decisive action in cases Of offense agains
the statutes, is another Of the tasks whicI
the president has set himself.
He has outlined his own views to his
cabinet on these subjects and has lef
to Attorney General Wickersham, Secre
tary Nagel OF the Department Of Com
merce and Labor, Senator Root and sew

| the needed remedies. The president viii

Four warships Of the protecting powers
Great Britain, Russia, Italy and France as
sembled in Canea harbor yesterday after
noon, their presence being an outcome
OF the difficulty that had risen between
Greece and Turkey since the evacuation
and an indication Of the purpose Of the
powers TO maintain the status quo.
Yesterday the ioreisu consuls at Canea
notified the Cream government that the
Greek flag would be hauled down this
morning and they warned the government
that irreparabls consequences would follow
any attack made on the international
landing party. on receipt OF this warning
the Cretan authorities issued an appeal TO
the people not TO obstruct In any way the
action of the powers.
The action OF this morning means that
the protecting powers have returned 10 the
island and the situation is again as il was
