The announcement of Attorney Cen
eral Spillman at Lincoln, that the
names of delegates to the republican
national convention must be rotated
on the ballots and that no designa-
tions may be shown, brought reac-
tionary statements from Coolidge and
Johnson men in Omaha.
The general opinion is that while
the attorney general may be correct
in his rigid Interpretation OF the law,
from a practical point OF view, the
ruling Will lead to confusion among
the voters. Most of those who were
ouizzed on the subject agreed that
the grouping of delegates would be
the common sense solution OF this req
ture of the primary ballots.
1t is ruled by the attorney general
that the law expressly provides that
the name of a presidential candidate
shall not appear twice on a ballot
which would be the case II the con-
yention delegates were grouped.
Impractical.
"I think II is an extremely impracti-
cal way because the names OF dele
gates ought to be grouped for the ac-
commodation of the voters" said A,
Y. Shotwell. president of the Coolidge
League of Nebraska Il believe that
Coolidge and johnson supporters arc
of the same opinion. that method
should be devised whereby they may
be sure they are voting for the dele.
