HAMMOND DRAWS
NEW BALLOT BILL
Cambridge Editor Will Have
Measure Carrying Kew
Form on Electors.
HOW ONE DEMO VOTED


Lincoln, Jan. l3.--(Special.)-It is
evident considerable sentiment exists
among legislators for changes in the
primary election law or for some
change in the ballot to get away from
the inconvenience and unsatisfactory
conditions apparent at the last pri-
mary and reflected in the election.
Senator Hammond, representing the
TWenty-hrst district, who is a prac-
tical printer and editor Of the Cam
I bridge Clarion, will, before the session
is over, introduce a bill to shorten the
ballot in presidential elections. ..
His bill will provide that not only
the names OF the electors, but also the
presidential and vice presidential can
didates' names shall apear on the bal
lot, but in much more condensed
form than at present where each party
takes up about FIVE inches of space.
He will place the names Of the pres
idential and vice presidential candi-
dates on the left side OF the ballot
the same as other candidates, occupy
ing about All inch OF space. In a
brasket to the right in small type will
be the eight presidential electors, with
another bracket following, to the right
Of which will be one circle for the
cross.
Voting in Circle.
The cross will vote for all OF the
electors, with the result that there
will be no chance for split electoral
college should the election be close.
"a great many voters were puzzled
in the last election said Senator
Hammond, mot to find the names Of
either Wilson or Hughes on the bal
lot, and | know that some OF them
passed up the voting for presidential
candidates simply because they could
not find the names Of either OF the
candidates on the ballot. In fact. |
know OF one democrat who looked for
the name OF Woodrow Wilson and
could not find it, but finally voted for
Victor Wilson, thinking he had struck
the right name. He was familiar with
the name OF Wilson and farther than
that he knew little except that he
wanted to vote for the president"
By this method each party will take
but about an inch OF space for presi-
dent and vice president and this will
mean that about the same space as
was devoted for the presidential cleo
tors Of one party the last election viii
be sufficient for all the parties under
the bill which Senator Hammond IS
preparing. ass

Hay Shippers File Suit to
Compel Roads to Furnish Cars

O'Neill, Neb., Jan. 13.-(Special.)
Holt county hay dealers and ship
pers are up in arms because Of their
inability to secure enough cars to
take care of all OF their contracts.
Matters reached crisis Wednesday,
when Frank Valla, heavy shipper of
O'Neill, filed an action in the district
court to mandamus the Burlington to
furnish him cars at O'Neill and Hay
Point. Hundreds of tons OF hay now
are stacked up along the right-of-way
at these towns and other heavy hay
shipping points in the, county, through
inability to secure cars, and thus, say
the dealers, they are exposed to dan
gerous FIRE risks. Other dealers anx-
iously are awaiting the outcome of
the Valla action before filing similar
suits. General car shortage is the
reason furnished by. the roads for
failure to furnish necessary cars. \
O'Neill hay brokers furnish the hay
used at the South Omaha and Sioux
City stock yards. This makes the
situation all the more serious. As it
is, an average OF about thirty cars
a day now is being shipped from Holt
county points. but this does not near
supply the demand. More than 5000
cars, or 10000 tons, of hay were
shipped from Stuart, Atkinson, En-
met, O'Neill, Inman, Stafford, Ewing,
Page and Hay Point, the hay stations
of the county, last year. The amount
will be almost doubled this year.
O'Neill and Inman are the second
and third largest hay shipping points
in the United States, Newport, Neb.,
being the largest.

artillery was mustered into the Min

liam J. Murphy at Stodder park,
Moorhead, on Saturday evening.
At 1880 o'clock p. m, there were
assembled in the park, between the
Comstock hotel and the Northern
Pacific depot, ia young men who
had been examined and taken the en-
listment oath as members of the bat
terry. The impressive ceremony was
conducted by Col. w. Murphy and
was witnessed by a large number of
the friends Of the young artillerymen.
Colonel Murphy complimented the
young men upon their display OF
patriotism in volunteering for the
service of their country instead OF
waiting for the call to determine
whether or not they would be includ-
ed in the draft. He gave them some
good advice, especially on discipline.
This he said is entirely within the
man. II he does his duty and disci-
pines himself, he will have nothing
to fear from his officers-if. on the
other hand, he fails to observe the
rules of discipline he will know the
truth Of General Sherman's statement
OF what war Is.
Andrew c. BUSINESS has been APP
pointed captain of the battery and
George NJ. Comstock senior first
lieutenant. The other officers will be
selected as soon as the recommended
tons can be put through. Both Of
the young men who will be the top
officers of the battery are of Moor
head end there could not have been
better selections made for the two
positions.
Captain Rusness will continue the
headquarters in the Wheeler block
and will push the recruiting of the
battery to war strength, 1870 enlist
ed men and five officers. There were
several other men who had signed the
pledge, but, on account of the short
time. had not passed the physical ex-
animation. Several of them were ex-
amined this morning; also a number
of other young men who enlisted
since the battery was mustered into
the National guard.
Men who have been included in the
draft are still eligible to enlist in the
battery and will be until they receive
the official notice to appear for ex-
animation before the board of the
county from which they registered.
