PAPER ROASTS JUDGE PALMER Inspiring Story of Judge Palmer" firings Reply from Editor of Clay Center Sun In common with other Nebraska newspapers, The Herald recently re ceived two columns of stereotype plate matter regarding Judge Harri son C. Palmer of Clay Center, Nebr., candidate for nonpartisan nomina tion for justice of the supreme court of the state. The plate matter was furnished free to papers desiring to use it. Wishing to treat all parties fairly, The Herald printed it last week, without comment. It seems now that there is anoth er side to the Inspiring story. The Clay County Sun takes exceptions to the appearance of the article In the newspapers of the st&U. The reas on it gives is that Mr. Palmer is not qualified for a position on the sup reme bench. This statement is pub lished here as a brief Indication of what "the other side" may be. It will be well for voters to investigate as best they can before the primar ies in August at which the nomina tions will be made. Western Ne braska people will probably not take a great deal of interest in the scrap between eastern Nebraska candi dates for nomination for the sup reme court, as we have a well quali fied candidate in this section.

THOMAS, Editor All's well that ends well. Recent occurrences that have given addition al publicity to the opposition I have encountered In Alliance in my efforts to promote progressive democracy, make this an opportune time, I think, to announce my determina tion to urge upon the next legisla ture of Nebraska the enactment of a law, or the amendment of existing laws, that will do away with the pers ent caucus and convention system In politics. The fact that I got in the way of a machine and was run over is not the issue. That was a mere incident that does me no harm, except a little temporary Inconvenience, perhaps. When all the facts connected with the post haste democratic county convention held in Alliance, July 7, 1914. have been given sufficient pub licity, I am confident they will make me scores of friends to every one lost thereby. But that has not changed my position on political is sues a whit. I am simply intensi fied in my opposition of years to cor rupt politics. While I deplore the unfairness and hypocrisy displayed in that convention, I am glad, in a way, that it happened. I was the object of the spleen of corrupt poli ticians In that democratic county convention In Alliance, July 7, 1914, Just as W. J. Bryan was the object of their spleen in the democratic state convention at Grand Island, July 26, 1910. I feel highly honor ed. Besides it gives me a good start in the movement which I wish to see inaugurated to do away with the present caucus and convention sys tem in Nebraska, that opens the door for the success of Tammany methods, even in the rural districts at times. I have in preparation an editorial which I wish to give to the press of Nebraska soon. In which I will en deavor to stir up thinking voters and get action that will before many years, I hope, result in purifying the muddy pool of politics. For this Issue, I wish to add only in this connection an extract from an editorial In the Nebraska 8tate Journal of July 14, relative to say account of the county convention last week: The thing charged Is interest ing, however, for the light It throws on past times. Wherev er there are conventions, there is manipulation or the suspicion of manipulation. The snap cas tas and the padded convention are as natural to the convention system as the quack to the deck.. Even when a convention has nothing to do but pass vain res olutions, the few who are or ganised will usually run things dlsregardful of the many who are not. An exhibition of this fact now and then la worth while. It Jogs the memory against the occasional attempt to drop direct primaries and re tars te convention nominations.
