NEBRASKA'S PRIMARY.
Enough Returns to Indicate Success'
ful Candidates.
Whiio returns from tho primary
election aro not completo at this
writing, and will not bo for sovoral
days, enough reports havo been re
ceived nnd tabulated to mako cortaln
who tho successful nomines are in
every instance except possibly the
democratic candidates for delegate in
tho Sixth district, whoro four men en
dorsed by tho Progressive leaguo nnd
ono who is said to stand for Harmon,
are In tho race. In no caso is tho
contest so close that tho remaining
counties, In view of tho way tho voto
is running, can chango tho final re
sult. Tho voto for presidential candidates
as tabulated includes seventy-flvo
counties and 187 scattered precincts,
most of which aro in Douglas and
Lancaster counties. For delegates at
large tho voto was from soventy-ono
counties complete, or nearly bo. For
stato offices tho voto was taken from
a total ranging from sixty-three to
sixty-nine complete counties.
Compared with primary elections
of other years this year will mark
tho record vote. With about ten
counties yet to hear from tho totnl
voto to date for presidential candi
dates Is 120,000, not counting tho
populists, 'tho socialists and tho pro
hibitionists. It would not bo surpris
ing if tho total vote reported finally to
tho secretary of stato reaches 140,000.
The largest previous primary voto
was 12S.00O.
With romarkablo steadiness Roose
velt's voto has stayed at 50 per cent
more than Taft and LaFolletto's com
bined votes. Champ Clark lo now

will not be far from 4,000 ahead of
that of Senator Brown.
Victor Rosewater will preside at
the deliberations of tho present na
tional convention up to tho time it is
called to order and tho permanent or
ganization effected. Ho must then
step down nnd out in favor of R. D.
Howell of Omaha by virtue of a vor
dlct of the people of 10,000 majority
for the latter at tho recont primary.
In tho contest over delegates Bryan
is, sn fnr, 4,noo votes ahead of Hitch
cock, though the latter had a lead of
2,000 in Douglas county.
Morchcad's majority for democratic
candidate for governor will not bo far
from 3,000 votes. Only a few coun
ties are still to bo heard from and.
these will not materially affect tho
present standing of the two candi
dates. George, stato treasurer, Is 10,000
votes ahead of Hamer, despite tho
latter made a vigorous campaign.

EH COST CHECKED
EUROPEAN COUNTRIE8 SUCCEED
IN REDUCING EXPENSE
OF LIVING.
CO-OPERATIVE UNIONS
CAUSE
"President Taft Sends Second Install
ment of Consular Reports Regard
ing Excessive Rates In Europe to
Congress Prices at Fair Level.
Washington, May 7. Tho president
on Monday transmitted to congress
tho second installment of tho reports
of consular officers on co operation and
tho cost of living which aro tho result
of tho investigation he somo time ago
directed should bo mado. Tho coun
tries Included in this installment are
France, Belgium, tho Netherlands and
Denmark.
It appears from tho Information col
lected, the acting secretary says, that
tho rising cost of living has directed
attention to nnd augmented tho mem
bership of tho co-operative societies,
more especially In Franco nnd Bol
glum. The French co-operative asso
ciations are In tho mnln arrangod
upon the same system as thoso in tho
United-Kingdom. The tendency in to
wards small societies and tho great
majority of the associations represent
Rrocerles and bakeries. Tho most suc
cessful distributive societies aro in
tho manufacturing cities of northeast
ern and central Franco. Among thoso
societies relief funds aro administered
nnd insurance against illness and
forced non-employment Is supplied.
Arrangements are made with dentists,
doctors and artisans for tholr services
by members on a commission basis.
Tho operation of tho agricultural eo
cltles has been especially successful In
southorn Franco. Tho French govern
ment has given encouragement to
these societies by furnishing expert
ndvlce, granting subventions, and per
mitting long term loans by agricul
tural credit associations. Tho general
buying is done principally through dis
trict unions. High grado farm machin
ery such as is beyond the reach of
many individual members Is pur
chased from tho surpluses or is loaned
gratuitously or upon tho payment of
nominal fees.
In regard to Industrial co-operatlvo
production It appears that plants
owned nnd operated by tho operatives
aro not uncommon In France.
