V THE OMAIIA DAILY HEE: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1904. FRAMING NEW PRIMARY LAW frpntentatiT Elect Dodge ii Preparing a Measure for LsjialaUre. IT WILL EMBODY SOME NOVEL FEATURES A4aaatla ef Dlret Prl mm rr Elfe ttoa Laws o Wlirouli, Mlaae seta mm4 Maaaaehaattts ta Hrkraik Ceailllloaa. Ths preparation of the dlret primary nomination law. to ba fathered by tha - Douglas delegation, has been undertaken by Itepreentatlve-elect N. P. tMxlge. Jr.. la consultation with hla associates and other Interested In, the reform of party machin ery. Mr. Dodge has been studying tha primary election laws enacted In Minne sota, Massachusetts and Wisconsin and tha bill to th same Import that was Intro duced In the last legislature by Senator Hastings, and Is formulating his bill In the light of all this leglHlation. but with spe cial adaptation of the Wlscnnnln law 40 tha conditions existing In Nebraska. As out lined by Mr. Dodge the features of his bill are explained aa, follows: A direct primary bill without the regis tration features, which the proposed bill will contain, was Introduced by Senator Hastings at the last session of the legl'la ture. This bill waa also modeled on tha Minnesota law. The proposed bill will pro vide for the primary elections of all partlea on the same day, seven weeks prior to tha general election In November and five weeks prlur to the city election In e.tles of the metropolitan class. Primary election day will be the first day of registration and the poll" will be open from 8 In the morning until 9 at night In the larger cities. It will also be a legal holiday. The registrars will act as Judges and clerks of tha primary election. At this election all candidates for state, congressional, Judi cial, county and city offices will be nom inated. The law will not apply to special elections or to village, township or school district officers not members of a board of education. In addlton to the nominal fee as reaulred by the Minnesota law candi dates will be compelled to file petitions signed by an average of 2 per cent of the voters In the district wherein he Is a candi date, no voter being permitted to s.gn more than one petition for any on office and he must declare his intention to sup port the candidate whose petition he signs, this provision being part or the Wisconsin law. , Rotatloa of Names oa Ticket. ' "There has been considesable feeling of the unfalrneas of the placing of candidates' names alphabetically, thus giving great advantage to those whose names begin near tha top of the alphabet. Consequently in the proposed bill the names will be changed in their order as many times as there are candidates for any one office, each candidate having his name at the top of aa many tlcketa aa any other, candi date. . If a candidate Is nominated by more than one party he must select the party for which he desires to be the candidate. Consequently hla name cannot appear on the ticket more than once. "In order to vote at the primary the elector must be registered and must state that he has affiliated with the party at whoae primary he desires to vote and that he Intends to support its candidates at tha coming election. He will not be per mitted to chango his party affiliation at the registration on primary day, but must give notice of such change of affiliation at some prior time. This time and manner have not been fully decided upon. The two remaining registration days will be placed at equal intervals between pri mary day and the election, but a longer time will be set for the last registration day prior to the election than under the ; present law by giving at least a week to oheck up falsa registration. I "I Is not the intention to compel regis-1 tratlon In districts in which It Is not re quired, by the existing laws, but the direct ' primary system will apply to all sections of the state, doing away with all conven tions except for special elections. "Provision is made for the formation of new parties and their participating In the primaries and the nomination pf independ ent candidates. "The manner of electing a county, judl- clal, congressional and state committee has not yet been determined. I do In tend to provide a law for the entire state, but shquld the legislature oppose such a measure the Douglas county delegation, Insofar as I know, Is unanimous to favoring a prhitary law for Douglas county." NOTHING BUT A PLAIN DRUNK Fata Works Dowaward Etc with Host Emlaeat sund DUtl. a-alshed of Crooks. When J. McOee waa arraigned In police court, pleaded guilty to having been drunk and waa fined $1 and costa, there was noth ing In tba procedure to mark the case from , the nundreds of other "plain drunk" cases that go through the court from day to day. And no one, save a few of the old-time police officials, gave more than a passing look at the primmer as he passed through the "mill." J. MoUee, or rather "Black Jack" McOee, M he was formerly known, could tell come thrilling atorlea were . he so inclined. But ho will not talk of the days gone by. Hs wonts to bury the past and for a number of years has been burying it in the pro verbial cup. He is now 60 years of age and bears the marks of both age and dis sipation. Twenty-five years ago the name of "Black Jack" MoOee appeared In many of the stories of crime on the western frontier. H waa then a member of the notorious Keys gang, long since broken up after years of aggressiveness .on the part of the authorities. McQee was personally one of the boldest of the gang. He and his pals are said to have slugged men for a mere pittance, to have thrown dead bodies from moving box cars and to have committed numerous depredations of a brutal char acter. One case Is on record of a robbery committed .In Iowa, in which crime McQee and Nugent are said to have klled their victim, taken a watch, which they later placed In the pockut of on Innocent party, who was sentenced for the crime. In the old years McOee had a record from ooast to coast, but today he Is sat IsHed with being classed with the "plain drunks.".
