OXFORD, Neb. Nov. 2--To the Editor
OF The Bee: have followed your argu-
ment closely for a short ballot and con-
slider you are preaching a dangerous doc
trine in asking that the governor be
given an appointlve power that would
make him the car Of the state, can
not believe it would work for honest or
efficient government. neither would II
lessen corruption in office or purify nomi-
nations in our primaries. That We have
been making some grave mistakes In
shaping our election laws in recent years
no candid man can deny. and to imagine
that we can correct those abuses by pass
ing more idIotlc laws along the same
lines is the height OF folly. 1t II true
that under our convention system OF
nominating political candidates instead
OF correcting those evils which were
simply abuses of the system our Teforn-
ers condemned the system itself and pro-
ceeded to give us the direct primary.
which has proved in every state. where
tried one Of the most unsmerican and
rotten laws ever enacted.
After our reformers got the expensive
primary they conceived the idea that
some OF the expense could be saved by
cutting out the annual elections and re-
quiring the voters 10 do two years work
in one. Now they begin to see the result
OF doubling up the candidates and change
their hobby cry that the people are COM
petent and should rule in making noIni-
nations direct instead Of delegating that
power to Others" to the more modern
progressive idea that the people are in
competent to handle the progressive bal
lot with its party circle swindle. its ref
erendum, its Initiative. and any old can
didate who has the filing fee and the
office itch They offer MS a panacea for
the laundering mess they have made OF
our election machinery the bobtailed bal
lot, and / am sorry TO see The Bee. which
is generally an advocate Of sane legisla-
ton. In their bandwagon whooping II up
for the so-called short ballot.
The people will never vote to disfran-
chise themselves unless they are trapped
through the party circle fraud.

The Cadillac Co.
Of Omaha Says

Enthusiasm for the new Hupmoohe
is unanimous. but it hardly exceeds
the enthusiasm of those who have
seen the detachable sedan and the
coupe tops.
Just the thing for winter" every
one says-and these tops, incidental
ly, are selling not few Hupmobiles.
People know that now they can
drive all winter in comfort.
This fine reception is justified, for
the Hupmobile factory. in supplying
these special tops, gives every Hup
buyer two cars at practically the
price OF one.
These tops are easily fitted to the
touring car or roadster in place Of
the extension top
They are designed and built esps-
eislly for the Hupmobile-strong.

If you're holding off buying a new

sociaII.t. Not Downcast.

OMAHA. Nov, Ito the Editor OF The
Bee; The election Is over, Democrats
and republicans Nave been given most OF
the victories. But the workers who made
the victories possible are losers. Their
ballots win have awaited them nothing.
They have voted for the letters that bind
them They have smiled on the source OF
their poverty and Indebtedness. They
have not only fawned at the feet OF their
Oppressors. but have maintained them in
wealth and luxury and power.
This. however, Is no time TO be down
cast. The socialist eampaign continues.
Today is the day OF the capitalist. and
while IL lasts his power and his pride Is
great But night Is coming and day
again. Tomorrow belongs TO socialism.
