Our Most Important Primary.

| The primary which is in progress
today throughout Nebraska is the
most important primary ever held in
this state. IL will not only de-
termine to whom the support of Ne
braska's delegation shall 60 in the
great national nominating eonven-
tons. but is also fraught with deep
significance as to the future OF the
commonwealth.
Five amendments to the state con-
stitution are TO run the first gaunt-
let OF popular approval, and II
eventually adopted will greatly alter
our fundamental law. They aim to
establish the initiative and referen-
dun. to abolish half OF our state
elections. to put the state institutions
under Board of Control, to give a
measure of home rule to our munich
palities and TO increase the pay Of
our legislators.
In this same primary all political
parties will indicate a preference for
United States senator, between whom
the voters will decide in November.
They will nominate candidates for
governor, and all the executive state
offices. They will nominate candi-
dates for congress. They will nomi-
nate complete legislative tickets.
They will nominate candidates for
county attorney. assessor and COM
missioner, and here in Omaha for
School board and Water board.
More places are to be filled, and
the ballot is longer than ever before |
in primary election. II is a severe
test on the voter. and the efficiency
of our election machinery. and re-
turns will teach many lessons.

mammoth liner could we'll have ac-

But the vice president OF the White

Some OF the collectors friends mad

Taft would decline to reappoint him,

claring that President Taft Is DELHI

says:
The truth is. there has never been a
time with which | am familiar in the

the political support Of the federal office
holders, such as II is, has been so divided
and at no time has the federal patronage
