Dollar
Decoys
Did you know that there was
a relationship between dollars
Well it must he true anyway
Did you ever notice that once
a man gets a few dollars others
seem to fly into his pocket as
if by magic Most of the dol
lars of the United States are
gathered together in large
amounts The more dollars a
man gets the faster others join
them You may be unable to
account for this but it is true
nevertheless Dollars like to
congregate Why not start a
congregation of your own
Lets explain You make quite
a bit of money dont you You
spend it dont you Well now
just for once try putting a few
dollars just a few in this
bank See if others dont fol
low The first few act as a
decoy You are cordially in
vited to place your decoys
In this bank We are sure that
by using one of our bank books
for a blind you will be able
to bag considerable

Cordeals Primary Law
The Cordeal primary law which has
made its entrance into legislative cir
cles follows largely the lines of the
New York law and provides a most
elaborate system whereby suggestion
for party nominees shall be made
The bill provides for the creation of
state county and district committees
one to be elected each year from each
county Each member of the com
mittee shall be entitled to one vote
for each vote cast within the district
or county he represents for the party
candidate for governor at the preced
ing election These committeemen
form the party convention and with
the candidate a party council
In brief the bill provides for the
party convention under a new guise
In a state convention for instance
each county is represented by one
delegate but his voting power is
based on the voting strength of his
party in his county This is the same
sort ot representation basis the old
convention system provided On roll
call each member is to designate
whom he eesires nominated and then
another toll call is taken for the
voting which is just like the old
conveniion system The voting con
tinues until somebody receives a ma
jority of the convention votes and the
-winner goes on the primary ballot
with thu convention endoisement

Fifty men from Lincoln and vari

organized what is to be known as the
progressive republican league of Ne
braska Men were called together by
invitations sent out by a temporary
organization Officers elected were E
E Correll Hebron president D C
Van Dusen Blair vice president
Franklin A Shotwell Omaha secre
tary Charles E Foster Omaha as-
Lincoln do declare as follows
We are proud of the achievements
of the republican party and look to
it in the future to promulgate such
principles and policies as are for the
welfare and the progress of the
American people
The republican party from its cre
ation to the present time has been a
party of progress and most of the
legislation which has developed the
doctrine of equal opportunity and
stood for the rights of men against
special privilege is due to the republi
can party and therefore believing
that the republican party is an instru
ment through which the people can
obtain additional legislation which is
necessary to promote the welfare of
our people and to maintain a truly
representative form of government
do declare as progressive republicans
and establish the following principles
iiiquai opportunities for all persons
who are willing to work out their des
tiny through energy and thrift
The election of United States sena
tors by direct vote of the people so
that the senate of the United States
may become more responsive to the
will of the people
Direct primaries for the nomination
of all elective offices so as to pre
vent the nomination of political boss
es in political parties
The direct election of delegates to
national conventions and of national
committeemen with privilege for the
voter to express his choice for presi
dent and vice president
To provide for the initiative and
referendum and recall so that our
government shall become more com
pletely a truly representative govern
ment
A protective tariff policy that af
fords protection only where protec
tion is needed to meet direct foreign
competition that offers no assistance
to trusts and affords no shelter to
monopolies and we favor a reduc
tion of the present tariff in the in
terests of American producers and
consumers
A national income tax so that the
accumulated wealth of this country
shall be compelled to pay its fair pro
portion of the taxes of the country
and we also favor an inheritance tax
The enactment and rigid enforce
ment of legislation which will prevent
further corruption in the election of
officials
The enactment and the enforce
ment of such legislation as will pre
vent tedious trials expensive litiga
tion and technical decisions in our
courts of justice
The executive committee appointed
was as follows From the First dis
trict Charles O Whedon Lincoln
Second John L Kennedy Omaha
