Of sudden, as if in answer to one of his
shouts, there sounded a sharp bark, and at
the same moment Flash came leaping out into
the swail, but carefully keeping his footing
on the hummocks.
Lying across the nearest bog he stretched
out his head to his young master, who twist
ed the fingers of his free hand into the long
hair of the dogs neck. The bog supported
most of the settlers weight, and, with the help
of his shaggy forepaws spread out over the
mud, kept him from sinking.
Guy saw that he could not hope to draw
himself out, but he also knew that now he
was not being dragged down deeper. Togeth-
er the dog and boy lay there through the
long, dark hours. Now loud barking re-en-
forced the boys shouts.
Early in the morning Harold Benham heard
the barking in the marsh and, thinking that
a dog must have some animal at bay there
he took his gun and sailed out to see After
he had reached the little swail it did not take
him long, with the help of some poles, to res
cue his friend. All night Flash had lain on
the bog and kept up his tireless barking.
As soon as breakfast was over Guy was
driven home: That afternoon, as he sat on
the piazza little the worse for his long mud
bath, he said to his uncle:
Uncle George, never mind sending me

is good enough dog for us, and don't be-

These birds perform their duties with the

their head and neck rake up and turn over

Guy must have grown careless, for he had
not taken more than . leap or two before he
slipped from hummock and sank up to his
waist in the spongy, quaking mud.
He tried to extricate himself, but every
struggle seemed only to drag him down. Max
ing last desperate effort, he succeeded in
reaching with one hand some grass leaning
over from the hummock from which he had
slipped.
He grasped this and so was able to keep
from sinking further; but fearing lest the
grass should give way, he did not dare to at

limbs, imbedded in the ooze, grew quite

vance Of those passed by other legislatures? ?
Have our federal state and county officials
shown any marked Improvement in the al
ministration of their offices2 Have you no
ticed that any of the olh ringsters and
lobbyist were particularly dead during the
past few years? On the contrary we have
all noticed that the corporations were
quite thrifty in Nebraska and that they
seemed to be rather nifty in getting their
employees to the primaries-in getting out
lot Of njee fancy literature for the benefit
of the ignorant and in landing the usual
percentage of candidates when the votes
were cast. That the ringster and lobbyist
are now spreading reform with a lavish
hand and seem to be quite satisfied with
their lot. So far as results are concerned
we have arrived finally to the starting
point. We have not yet arrived for the
reason that we all realize that there have
in the last three years been candidates
nominated for federal, state and county
offices in Nebraska who would not have
had ghost of a chance in convention
not because OF their strong characters,
clean records or good qualifications. either.
These things are admitted; but we are
told that sooner or later the people viii
realize the advantages OF this law and
will respond by all getting out and voting
for the right man. Now right here ap-
pears the big weakness in the primary law
Why should the average eIector take the
trouble to go to the polls and vote at a
primary election? The average man does
not know personally one candidate on the
state ticket. Can he be expected TO 60
to the trouble OF voting when he knows
nothing Of the men for whom he votes?
do not think Eliminate the knowledge
Of men over the state which was acquired
you know of the men who were candidates
on your ticket at the last primary. Now
the average elector does not always at
/ tend state conventions so he has not made
/ the acquaintance Of these men. How is he
to satisfy himself which OF the candidates
| he shall support? You say by reading the
newspapers. Very velour newspapers are
not conducted entirely for pleasure and
have shown quite a marked disposition 10
let the people work this INFORMATION out
for themseles, except in that they have
quite universally adopted the plan OF SELL
ing space to all candidates for announce
ments OF candidacy, Now, / regard the
position the newspapers have taken on this
matter as being correct in every particular.
Not only Is II correct but II is the honor

assume the responsibility Of providing the
public with all possible Information re-
garding the qualifications Of the respec-
tive candidates, then Il would assume with

zone Of the great advantages of the con-
vention plan was the opportunity 1t af-
forded the people to know accurately the
character and qualifications OF the re-
spective candidate before it. This feature
must not be underestimated It is vastly
important to our state that its officers be
men of sterling character of integrity and
having the qualifications necessary to dis
charge properly the functions of the Of
fees to which they aspire. A wrong COM
mitted through ignorance or incapacity is
just as far reaching and disastrous as
though committed Intentionally and with
the knowledge that it is wrong. We
Americans want results II we fail to get
results we are impatient and condemn not
only the man in authority, but the author
ity that placed him there.
Therefore summing up the conditions
as they actually existed under the conven-
ton we find
"First-That this plan was wrong in that
under certain conditions it might be
dominated by corporations and ring poll
tlcians and the wish Of the masses be de-
feated.
"Second-That Is was right in that II
afforded the people the advantages of per-
sonal investigation and judgment as to the
character and qualifications Of the re-
spective candidates.
LAS l have stated the object or primary
law was to substitute such plan as would
preclude the possibility of corporation and
domination and place the power to name
the candidates directly in the masses
theoretically this has been accomplished
In theory the railroad lawyer, the lobbyist
and the ring politician are neither ques
toned, consulted or considered. They have
been relsBated to oblivion aud are a pitifu
lot Of jobless pikers-in theory only. Theo
reucany, we, the electors of this great
state, 80 TO the primaries with fun knowl-
edge Of what We are doing and select and
vote for certain OF our state officers and
know that we have not been corrupted
