Nothing else can explain the fcuggestion that some of the candidates, who.-e names are riot given, should be scratched because they were not in favor of the city manager plan before the special election at which it was approved. Once or twice before we have mentioned the fact that nothing will tend to antagonize the large body of voters who were opposed to the plan more than such an attitude on the part of the victors. With the beautiful little pri mary system now in effect, our contemporary apparently does not realize that the minority, the people who voted gainst the plan, can really control the election if they are goaded into organizing to do it. How simple it is: There are nineteen candidates. Of these, using the figures Even by The Times, only three or four are believed to have been against the plan. If the city manager advocates are really going to at tempt to deprive the minority which didn't lack so very many votes of being a, majority from any representation n the council, the result may be that this same minority k-ill get together, and instead of scattering their votes among the nineteen candidates, concentrate on the men who think as they did. The supporters of the plan will Matter their votes among some sixteen candidates. The opposition, which is said to still exist, can win hands down fey confining their votes to the men who think as they do. As vet. no attempt has been made to do this. But nothing leaves so many sore spots as elections of this Fort, and our friendly advice to the strong adherents of the manager plan is to let well enough alone and not lose their victory after they have won it. The Herald does not know of a single candidate who was a strong opponent of the manager plan either before or after the election. We do know the candidates, how ever, and are frank to say that we do net think there is a tingle one among them of small enough caliber to deliber ately set owt to discredit the plan if he. should be fleeted. (Omaha Bee) It has not yet occurred to any of the multitudinous organizations in our land to proclaim a "Get-married A'eek."

THE AMERICAN LEGION (Lincoln Star) From the national headquarters at Indianapolis comes the report that the American Legion has developed into a full-fledged American fighting organization during the past year. The membership has been doubled and 3,417 posts'were added during 1020. Posts were estpblisbed in the furthermost corners of the globe, including Argentina, Belgium, Santo Domingo, Peru. Chile, China, Guatemala, Japan, Poland and Samoa. Starting 1020 with fifty branches ami 5,000 members, the Women's auxiliary .fin ished w'th 200,000 memlfers and 1.700 units. Nothing could be more gratifying to true Americans than this wonderful growth of an organization whose in fluence for patriotism and good citizenship has been demonstrated in countless ways. Members of the legon have come to the support of law and order in communities where lawless elements sought to gain the upper hand. While keeping aloof from partisan politics, the legion has taken a determined stand on vital public quest -ons. The Gifford-Byrum bill reducing sal aries of code secretaires to $3,000 per year was put to sleep by the house in committee of the whole. The vote was 57 to 34. Had it been left to the -ra rf th fvrnr members alone the motion to kill the bill wou'd have lost by a vote of 25 to 0. Farmer members are taking a decided stand in favor of reducing state expenses. ' It appears certain that the Child Welfare co-nmittee will report out something in the way of a movie cen sorship bill ami it also appears that there is a strong sentiment in pro poses to look after other th;ngs besides the mov;es.
