Remember, it is not necessary to
vote for a second choice at the pri-
mary. but you can do so if you de-
sire. The law reads as follows:
"Mark only your party ticket.
You may atty our option vote for
both first and aecond choice in case
there are more than twice as many
candidates as there are positions.
To vote for person for first choice
make cross (X) in the square to
the right of the name of the person
for whom you desire to vote. To
vote for person for second choice
make cross (X) in the second
square at the right of the person for
whom you desire to vote. You
may vote for any qualified elector
whose name is not printed on the
ballot by writing the name of such
person theron under the appropriate
heading and making cross (X) in
the proper square to the right of
such name. Do not vote for the
same person on first and second
choice. After marking the ballot
hand it 10 the judge to be placed in
the ballot box for votes. Place the
blank ballots of the other parties
not marked in the ballot box for
waste ballots"

government officials are able to
learn, the. proceeding was one in
which the element of chance was
paramount, and the indictments are
the result of sending literature, con-
tracts and advertising concering the
drawing of the lots through the
mails.
The method of the sale of prop
erty at Hammett was thoroughly
threshed out before the grand jury
by witnesses who had purchased lots
there and took part IN the alleged
drawing. It seems that if nearly
all of the purchasers ofthe property
came from without the state, some
from Chicago and other eastern
cities.
No time has yet been set for the
trail of the cases against the defend.
ants, but it is not thought that they
will be had until the next regular
term of the court.

Hooper, Nebraska. -"I am very glad
to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
