THURSDAY, MAY 2, IM
Soon the good old summer time
wMl (be here. Spring will be short
in this country this year.
The interest tHken 1n state pres
idential primaries haw cut in heavily
upon the usual interest at His time
of year in the national game of base
'hail.
Anotiher Indication that the demo
cratic nomination for president will
go to Champ Clark Is the training
of the political campaign nuns of the
partisan republican press upjn him.
Here's guessing that Clark wHl be
the next president of the United
States If nominated.
If the bitterness displayed between
opposing factions in both republican
and democratic parties in Nebraska
before the primary election results
In greater Independence In voting at
the general election neiflt November,
it will it mi it in srnne good. One of
the most hopeful signs of the times
in political matters Js the breaking
away from party domination, and
the consequent increase In tin' nuin
ber of really independent voters.
A good deal of fun lias bee.n pok
ed at that man Koss of Mxington,
Nebr., who filed for the nomination
for president before the Nehraskn
primary. He has been commonly
looked upon as having wheels in
his head and his candidacy us a
Joke, with everybody except him
sell; but in one county at least, he
Tan ahead of one candidate of na
tional reputation. Sioux county gave
.hid son Harmon only tlve votes,
while Ross received ten vcteis on
the democratic ticket and one repub
lican in that county.
People generally pa little atten
tion to the religious beliefs of can
didates for public office, but often
have a curiosity to know. President
Taft is Unitarian, Colonel Roose
vel is a member cf the Dutch Re
formed church, Woodrow Wilson is
a Presbyterian. Champ Clark is a
Disciple of Christ, Judson Harmon
Is a Methodist, and Congressman
I'nderwood Is a Pftttt We have
not laarned that Senator l.orimer is
a member of an church, and no
ohurch steme to want to claim him
wince the Investigation of his elec
tion by means of ortbtj-y.

day, April 13, The Herald stated that
he waa found uuler his wagon on
the prairie, and that his team had
been unhitched and turned around
and tied to the waon. We liave
since been told that he was found
lying near a fence and that the
horses were standing by a fence, to
