his success in both would suggest
some such man as Culberson of Tex

of Taft's New York speaking cam

Columbus Telegram: Judgo Cob
bey, an acknowledged authority on
the statutes of Nebraska, contends
that tho primary law was killed by
tho supremo court when the tribunal
killed the non-partisan election law.
He holds that the old convention sys
tem must now be restored to in mak
ing party nominations in Nebraska.
Here is a pretty kettle of fish.
For years the people of tho state
struggled to take tho nominating bus
iness out of the hands of the conven
tion-fixers, and now the supreme
court kills all their hopes In that di
rection.
While the Telegram has always
contended for the primary system in
making nominations, we shall not
hed many tears If It be true, as Judge
Cobbey contends, that tho Nebraska
primary law is dead. The principle
of the primary Is all right but the
practice under the Nebraska statute
has not been salutary. It has not
taken the nominations out of control
of tho professional politicians, as wo
expected it would. Indeed, ln somo
Instances the professionals have had
things more thoir way than under
the old convention system. Tho con
vention plan of making nominations
Is really tho ideal plan, provided all
the people would participate ln tho
