Wo occasionally hear from one of
tlM "old Mltrs" in politics who be
moans the days of the county or
atate i (invention, when the political
bosses, li and little, selected the
candidates whom they desired to run
for office. When a bi-partisan ma
chine controlled both conventions for
tbe two leading political parties, the
poor, deluded voter had no choice for
ilher way he voted he played into
the hands of the bosses.
Then came the days of the primary
b-etlons, the system uow used in
neleotlnK candidates for the offices.
The purpose of the primary is to
Kie each and every voter tne right
to select the candidates he desires
for his, particular political party. In
Ibis way the unsuccessful candidate
cannot state that he did not have a
fair and square deal.
The candidate who comes before
the voters at the primary pledges
himself to abide by the results of
tve election, nut if t ie candidate
who unsuccessfully runs for the nom
ination of his party endeavors to de
Nat the purpose of the primary by
either bolting his party or the plac
ing of the names of new candidates
on the ballot by petition, he is not
giving the voter the square deal. We
have, no sympathy for the sore-head
or the tricky politician who endeav
or by hook or crook to get himself
or his friends Into office against the
wishes of a majority of the voters ns
eipressed by the ballot.
Itirs. Annual rental i MlptS increas
ed 95,804, or $17,591 more than
the total in the ten previous years
This means tin average of over 81,
000 to each county annually for sup
port of common schools.
"lost," "Unused1. "Excheated"
and Exchanged" lands have been
found, reclaimed, recovered, and se
lected, adding $50,000 value to per
manent Bchool funds. Activities of
the office have encouraged the test
drilling for oil in sections of the
H;ite:i. The attempa to secure the pot
ash resources of the state without
adequate remuneration to the State
has been foiled und the state will
receive u juBt and fair share of its
potash deposits.
In handling si.-te educational
fttniU the land commissioner and his
associates on the board have sunport
and good returns, assisting govern
ment undertakings, federal farm
schools, communities, and industry.
Ah a member of the board of irri
gation, highways and drainage the
OomiPitslonor has urged more m'le
age With materials at hand, r.itnor
than : few expensive miles in con-
I'ructitn of road.
Nebraska's lsnd Commissioner has
proven himself efficient public serv
ant and the voters of the state will
recognise this fact by re-electing
him by a substantl:.! mijorlty.
