The republican primaries and couflty
convention thin fall will be held under
the rule known an the Jtffferla rulea, being
a combination of the Crawford county and
ether "direct primary" ayatema.
The primaries will be held October 6
and the county convention October 10.
L'ndnr the new rulea the country pre
clncta will retain their present repreaenta
tlon in the county convention, being five
from each precinct, or seventy delegates
In all from the country. So far as figured
out, the representation In the nine Omaha
wards will be Increased from ninety to
la, an Increase of 136, and the representa
tion from the six South Omaha wards will
be changed from eighteen to thirty-five, an
Increase of . seventeen, giving the conven
tion a membership of 131 delegates, of
which 16 would be neceesary to a choice.
Slow Coning Toaetber.
Chairman Oobh was the only member of
the iJouRlas county republican central com
mittee at WaKhlngton hall at 1 yesterday
afternoon, the hour set for the meet
ing of the committee. Fifteen minutes later
members began to drift In, but at 1:30
o'clock, when the roll was called, only
twenty-nine of the sixty-one members re
sponded. It was explained that some
thought .the hour for the meeting was 2
o'clock. A motion by Charles Unltt for a
recess until 1 o'clock waa not put, though
the chairman declared a quorum present.
Including proxies, thirty-five to forty were
represented. It was decided that no rote
be taken .until an unquestioned quorum was
present. '
Attorney Jefferls was called for to ex
plain the proposed new rules. He told of
the republican party having been torn Into
factions for a number of years and the
consequent defeat of a number of repub
lican candidates. AH republicans, he de
clared, were In favor of doing something
more than nominating candidates. The
party had been losing strength; In the
court house there were now only two rep
resentatives of the party.
Coaveatloa of a Factloa.
It had reached a point, Attorney Jefferls
continued, where a convention waa a con
vention of a faction, either a machine or an
suitl-machine convention, the labela at
tached to the different factions. The pres
ent system of primaries and making nom
inations had no defenders, he declared,
though it had a defense. The present sys
tem of wards selecting favorite residents
for different offices simply resulted In elect
ing delegations for trading purposes. It
was a question of which faction would have
a majority In the convention.
It happened. Attorney Jefferls aald, that
he waa born In Cheater county, Fannsrl'
van! a and bad taken an Interest In poll
tics alnce he was 21 years old, as had his
father and grandfather before him. It
was their boast that they had never
scratched a republican ticket, something
which he eould not say. He explained bow
In the old day candidates had traveled
over Chester county and presented their
candidacy to the voters aa a whole, and
then they were voted for directly by name
at the primaries.
'Explains Bnarabooe,
It la stated by some, said Mr. Jefferls,
that the new system would permit
Mr. Rosewater to pick out a man for
this office and another man for that
office, and so solidify his machine and
control all the nominations. , But while
some might honestly think so they were
mistaken, for no man and no machine oould
control nominations under the proposed new
system. Doing so would te Impossible for
under It the people alone controlled" and
they would noon so discover and exercise
the control.
The new system was In accordance with
the plan of government of toe United
States, which Is based on representation
according to population. There would be
no trading In conventions and no sore
pots after conventions, for the expressed
will of the people would simply be carried
out by the delegates In the convention. .
Hopes to F.ad Strife. :
Attorney Jefferls disclaimed any personal
ambition or Interest In the proposed new
system, declaring his only Interest was to
do away with the strife which haa torn
the republican party In the past. A friend
had declared that he was carrying out the
plans of Ronewater,' but he wanted to say
that he waa old enough to have some Ideas
of hla own, and there were parts of the
country, 'which Rosewater did not control,
which had Ideas and carried them out
He had not, he said, done any log rolling
for -the new system and It was possible
that it might not work well In this part
of the country, but it should be carefully
considered and If found right In principle
It should be adopted. It a majority of the
people were like cattle and wanted to be
driven and controlled, then It would not
work, but If they were men and had opin
ions and Idess of their own, then It
should be adopted.
Mr. Jefferls before closing dwelt upon the
provision that under the new system any
man desiring to become a candidate for
the nomination for any office could easily
do so, no one being barred. Dut every
such candidate must be before the people
for twenty-five days previous to the con
vention, and trades and combines' by which
candidates had been foisted on the party
at the" last moment In the past would be
completely wiped out. The expense to
candidates of the new system had been
urged against It, but under existing con
ditions It was an undesirable feature which
could not be eliminated.
T. W. Blackburn, who was present by
virtue of holding W. E. Rhoadea' proxy,
said there might be different views on
the matter and If there was not a senti
ment In favor of having direct primaries
there wss no use wasting time discussing
the matter. Therefore he moved, but not,
he explained, as either an endorsement or
a rejection of the Jefferls plan, that It was
the sense of the committee that the re
publican party of Douglas county should
have direct primaries. The motion was
carried by a viva voce vote of apparently
three ayea to one no.
Not Ready to Check Bolters.
Fred Behm offered this resolution, which
oa motion of T. W. Blackburn was im
mediately laid on the table:
Resolved: That' It Is the sense of this
committee that no republican who sought
a nomination in the recent republican con
vention for this Judicial district can in
good faith be a candidate against the nom
inees of that convention.
Charley Unltt moved that the dates for
the primaries and convention be fixed for
October t and 10 respectively, the repre
sentation to be ten for each Omaha ward.
three from each South Omaha ward, and
Ave from each country ppecinct. The mat
ter of a direct primary could be aettled
later, ha declared, and demanded a roll
call on R. Houghton's motion to postpone
fixing the dates for the primaries and con
vention until other business had been fin
ished. The motion to postpone carried by
a vote of 27 to 19, and the convention got
down to the real business before it.
Secretary Messlck moved the adoption of
the Jefferls rules. John Tager of Valley
said that he hsd the distinction of being
the only oountry member of the committee
who favored the adoption of the new rules.
Personally he did not care so much about
the change which would be made In the
representation from the country precincts.
but still did not think it advisable to cut
them down too much. Therefore, in an
amendment he moved that the new rules
be adopted except In so far as they re
lated to the representation from the coun
try precincts, which should be allowed to
remain at five delegates, as at present. .
Blaekkara Has a Substitute.'
T. W. Blackburn at this point sprung the
only surprise of the meeting at least It
seemed to be a surprise to a number of
the, members. He offered a set of rulos
as a substitute for the Jefferls rules, at
the same time declaring that he waa In
favor of both plans and also In favor of
the Crawford county system, and the en
tire wiping out of - all conventions. But
unless the other parties adopted a similar
system he did not believe in the repub
Heart party throwing' away its right to
correct errors or in convention properly
balance Its ticket- in reference to localities
and nationalities.
Ia answer to a number of questions Mr.
Blackburn stated that his plan, which was
read by the secretary, did not compel con
ventions to nominate the candidate recelv
ing the largest number of votes at the pri
jnarlea, but It could, to balance the ticket,
nominate any one of the candidates. But I
It did prohibit the grouping of delegatee
and provided that anyone paying the re
quired fee might be a candidate, also for
the submission at the next primaries of
the question of having direct primaries.
Objections to the hales.
Fred Behm said he had carefully read
the Jefferls plan and It would not do for
the Second ward. It was hard enough to
get men at 13 to act as Judges and clerks;
the number of men In some precincts of the
ward who could read and write English,
and were competent to serve, waa very
limited, and it would be lmprTsalble to get
enough of them to serve at 11.60. Of the
two he favored the Blackburn plan.
Hugh A. Myers declare himself iri favor
of any system which would eliminate fac
tionalism, but said he did not favor either
of the plans proposed. The man who was
well known, and especially the man who
had a newspaper backing him, would have
an unfair advantage. Either plan would
keep good, but comparatively unknown.
men out of politics. He favored Instead
the Crawford county system as used in
Lincoln. '
V. B. Walker declared that not one man
In 1,000 would get a clear majority In Doug
las county when there were four or five
candidates before the primaries for a
county office, and that the Blackburn plan
removed the very thing sought, and would
throw all nominations upon the conven
tions. He advocated the adoption of the
Jefferls rules, but leaving the country pre
cincts and South Omaha as at present.
Secretary Messlck In an official manner
pronounced the Blackburn plan "no good."
It did not "look right" to him, he declared,
and would simply result fn the same old
trading. He would prefer the present sys
tem to such a change.
Mr. Jefferls was called for again and re
peated In part his first argument. Soma
of the objections might be good, and the
plan might not work In Douglas county.
but It should be given a trial. It would
not be a disadvantage to any good man.
He opposed the Blackburn plan, as one
which would cause and leave the same old
"sore spots," but did not any special
objection to allowing the country precincts
to retain their present representation of
five delegates each in the county conven
tions.
What Was Finally Adopted.
Hugh A. Myers moved as a substitute
that the committee adopt the rules govern
ing the last primaries and that the matter
of having direct primaries be submitted at
the next primaries, the rules for such di
rect primaries to be formulated by the
county committee. On an objection being
raised he changed his motion to provide
for the submission of the Jefferls rules. .
Two knockouts followed In rapid suc
cession. Myers' motion waa knocked out
by Blackburn's point of order, and Black
burn's plan was knocked out by a strong
no" vote.
Yager's amendment, leaving the country
precinct representation as at present, waa
dopted by a 89 aye to 10 nay vote, and
the Jefferls rules, aa published several
days ago in The Bee, were adopted as a
whole by a vote of 30 ayes to 18 nays.
Behm of the Second ward was excused
from voting after stating that he could
not approve but did not wish to oppose
the adoption of the new rules. The chair
man was given authority to change the
phraseology of the rules to comply with
the change regarding the country pre
cincts, and also to supply the omission in
them of candidates for police judge and
coronef.

THE RIVAL, RESORTS.
Conrtland aad Manawa la Friendly
Rivalry for Popular Place of I
Recreation.
One sura sign of the popularity of a sum
mer .resort Is the patronage it receives.
Lake Manawa and Courtland Beach must
be exceedingly popular, as they were the
two resorts selected for a great many pic
nics that have been held in the last three
weeks. They have each averaged two
picnics a day for a month back. This list
does not Include family picnics, of which
there are a doaen or fifteen dally, but
large affairs given by lodges, Sunday
schools or associations of various kinds.
On Friday the De Long reform school
held Its annual picnic, aa did the Royal
Arcanum lodge of Council Bluffs, at Lake
Manawa. The latter picnic was partici
pated In by the lodge from Omaha and
Council Bluffs. Yesterday the national
convention of the Knights of Pythias went
Into convention at Lake Manawa. Over
1C0 tents have been thus far required for
the use of the delegates. The convention
will last one week. Tuesday will be a red
letter day for Courtland Beach, as oiv that
day the order of Red Men will have their
big plcnio. Members from Omaha, South
Omaha and Council Bluffs will participate.
Among the many features planned for the
day Is a balloon race. In which the par
ticipants are selected from volunteers from
the several lodges represented. The se
lected ones will make the ascension and the
parachute drop. A great many big picnics
will be held during the month. The big
Labor Day picnic will be held, at Court
land Beach. The natural advantages both
resorts possess in the way of shady groves
and velvety greensward . and unexcelled
bathing beaches, make them the choice of
every one. v .
At Courtland Beach the famous Blckett
family aucceed the lire diver, Nortn. This
family consists of five people husband and
wife and three young daughters. At the
top of a thirty-foot rigging the two adults
hang suspended by their limbs and throw
the children between them like so many
rubber balls. The youngsters turn doubles
and twisters while In the air. Their work
Is said to be really astonishing. Of course
the bathing beach, with Its clear crystal
water, and the boats remain a very strong
feature. The Ferris wheel, the merry-go-rounds
and the switchback are always at
tractions for the little ones. Dobson's mil
itary band haa been engaged for the plaaa.
while Prof. Nordln's orchestra will be
heard In the pavilion.
At Lake Manawa the Floyd Brlggs com
pany will be succeeded tonight by the Don
C. Hall stock company. The new company
Is said to be one of the strongest summer
repertoire companies out this summer. All
Its members are members of some big east
em companies, who are taking this means
of spending the summer under salary The

To Colorado
Inexpensively
Don't make the mistake of assuming that it costs a "mint of
money" to spend your vacation in Colorado. It doesn't'. In no
other part of the United States that is, in no other part where
summer visitors go will your money go so far or buy so much.
For $8, $9 or $10 a week you can get good board and lodging
at Colorado Springs, Manitou or Denver. Pay more, and, of
course, you get more. The vast" percentage of the people who go
to Colorado spend not to exceed $12.00 a week. That includes
everything living, amusements and side-trips. Instead of put
ting up at expensive hotels, they stay at comfortable boarding
N houses, at "lodges" or in camps.
The cost" of reaching Colorado has been materially redaced.
Round-trip tickets are now on sale for $17.50 from Omaha.
Tourist sleeping care are attached to Rock Island train leaving
Omaha at 1:30 p. m. for Colorado. The rate for a berth Is only
$1.50; but tickets are good in standard sleepers on limited trains,
if you prefer to travel that M ay.
Thousands of people are already in Colorado. Hundreds
are on Jhe way. Thousands more are going in the next two or
three weeks.
If your ticket reads via the Rock Island System you can
depend upon having a quick and comfortable journey In both
