SMALL DOSES - Past & Present:
The Primary a Farce?
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS. Special Correspondeni
, The beautiful theory of the
primary plan of selecting can
didates is more-or-less of a
practical farce. Few are aware
in communities like Lincoln
and Omaha that there are
some important nominations to
be made June 11.
The old timers in Holt coun
ty recall with a sigh of regret
the great day of a county con
vention when men’s patriotism
and party loyalty impelled
them to come by horse from 50
miles to see that a winning
ticket was nominated and a
platform of stirring patriotic
appeal was promulgated.
Politics today: What’s the
matter with it?

Organized labor is at once
our hi st friend and our worst
enemy. The able, industrious
craftsmen of the unions are an
indispensable element of
American life and all who de

that opportunity at what they
are worth, and no more. The
agitators and a few leaders of
pride-swollen ambition form
an element of trouble-makers
that can be the means of
