SMITH MUST BEAR
ONUS MP.S.C. SHIFT
Republicans Decide to Let
Governor Put Through
One Man Plan.

From Republican legislative leaders
and local representatives Of the party
who consulted here yesterday II was
learned the Public Service Commission
baby" probably will be laid on Gov.
Smiths doorstep. Althoush no definite
decision will be reached until Monday,
the majority feeling Is that Gov. Smith
should be permitted to put through his
programme. which calls for a single
Public Service Commissioner to perform
the regulatory functions OF the present
body and a separate Commissioner to
have charge OF the completion OF the
transit lines and to have control of all
construction in the future.
Smith Must Bear Blame.
II - argued this would be the wieest
course to pursue. as then all the short
comings in regulation and construction
work would be charged up against the
Democratic administration. II the Leg
islature should refuse to agree to the
Governors plan and the present organ
lzation should be continued, then. the
leaders believe. the Governor could lay
the blame on the Republican party for
future derelictions OF the commi sson

three TO one Democratic. He could de-
clare that, II he had been permitted 10
have his organization. the work could
have been done moro efficiently

preferring to keep the four 900 Com
missionerships rather than to have only
four deputyships at $500 each. The
Governor. however, insists upon carrying
out his plan because 1t was one OF his
campaign pledges. he says.
Kracke IL Doubtful.
Commissioner Kracke has told the
legislative leaders he does not think a
single Commissioner plan OF operation
for regulation will work and the pro-
posal to separate regulation and control
would work endless delay and friction.
However. he Ia willing TO sink his per-
sonal interest in the matter and 10 give
up his 900 position II II Is decided
that the best tactics would be to give
the Governor his way in every particular.
Anticipating change in the control
OF the Public Service Commission many
OF the employees are already beginning
to find outside places. and It is under
stood the personnel OF the organization
Is being much affected by the uncer-
tainty existing as TO the future of the
work.

PRIMARY BILL
UP T0,COvERN0R
FOR HIS ACTION
Measure Providing for Nomi-
nation of State Officers Be-
low Governor by Conven-
ton Gets Attention..
(By a Staff Correspondent

Lincoln. April l6.-(Special.)-
Prospects for winding up the thir-
ty-seventh session of the legislature
late Wednesday night went glim-
mering when some of the senate
and house leaders announced their
intention of waiting until Governor
McKelvie had an opportunity to act
upon the bill amending the state
primary law, which passed the SEN
ate late Tuesday light. The bill
had previously passed the house and
went to the governor for signature.
Governor McKelvie today indi-
Gated that he had not definitely
made up his mind what he would
do with regard to the primary bill.
Discussing it with newspaper men
he expressed the belief that it was
legislation which required careful
consideration. The governor said
that he had not expected it to come
up at the session because it was not
in the platform of either party and
the people had not been given an
opportunity to express their senti-
ments on the matter.
The bill, which substitutes the
convention system of nominating
officers below governor, in the
opinion of the governor might be
harmful to the real reform. Mr..
McKelvie' said that he believed the
short ballot offered a relief from the
present admitted evils and he be-
lieved that the proposed change
would, if anything, work against the
short ballot.

me to do is to return to my family"
he declared, "but it will be hard to

p Miss Sebastin said she would
work in Omaha till she had money
enough to return to her home at
Plainview. Texas. She promised not
to write her brother-in-law.
Commissioner Nicely permitted
both to sign their own bonds, and
continued the case 80 days. He de-
clared that Horton had violated the
Mann act, but owing to his wife and
children he would permit his return.
During the trial Horton produced a
telegram from his wife, asking him
to return.
