To Cure the
Faults in State
Primary Law
Sorensen Offers Suggestions in Ad
dress at Wymore ; Finds Under
lying Principle Sound.
Wymore, Neb., Aug. SO. Minor
operations and not death in the poli
tical electric chair were urged as a
need of the Nebraska direct primary
law by Attorney General C. A. Soren
sen in an address tonight before the
annual Wymore volunteer firemen's
picnic.
Sorensen suggested five changes in
the law which he stated are neces
sary to remedy the faults of the
present system.
"The underlying principle of the
direct primary i3 sound," he said. "It
gives the people actual and efffective
control of their political parties. Un
der any other system the great mass
of the people would have no real
voice in the nominating of eandi
dates."
Citizens, Sorensen said, should
realize that the task of securing ef
ficient officials is more often in get
ting the right kind of candidates
nominated than in their election.
Legislation to provide for identi
fication of candidates on the primary
ballot where names are the same or
similar was suggested by the attor
ne general as one of the needs of
the present law.
Make Deception Crime.
"It should be made a crime, pun
ishable by imprisonment, for any
person, having a name similar to the
of another candidate, to file for office
for .the sole purpose of tricking and
misleading voters," Sorensen said.
He further urged that filing fees
be raised to bar persons not filing in
good faith, that legislation "with
teeth" be enacted to end circulation
of anonymous circulars and scurril
ous pamphlets, and that either the
corrupt practices act should be re
pealed or given teeth.
"With regard to the latter -ranges-tion,
Sorensen said. 'Personally I
favor a law limiting expenditures In
the primaries' on the basis of the
voting strength of the party and hav
ing this limit include all expendi
tures of candidates."
Charles H. Sloan also spoke Satur
day. The speakers Friday were
Charles W. Bryan and Kennah
Wherry.
RETURNS FROM COLORADO

children. Glen and Margaret, who

Safety First is
Week's Slogan
State Welfare-Labor Secretary Pol
lard Sends Circular Letters
to Employers
In line with the observance of
the first week in September as "safe
ty week," recommended by Gover
nor Weaver in a special proclama
tion. State Welfare-Labor Secretary
Pollard has sent a circular letter to
industrial employers of Nebraska
urging concerted effort on their part
to prevent accidental injuries to those
working in their plants.
A six months' campaign for
"safety first" is suggested by Pollard
for both employers and employes.
Copies of the new safety codes are
now being printed and will soon be
ready for distribution.
Specific recommendations made by
Secretary Pollard in his communica
tion to manufacturers and otht-r em
ployers are:
"1. That your machinery and
plant equipment be inspected and so
far as possible accident hazards re
moved: "2: That you have the steering
column and brakes of your motor
vehicles tested and where necessary
properly adjusted to prevent acci
dents; "3. That this operation be re
peated at stated intervals as a
precautionary measure;
"4. That you hold safety meet
ings to be educational in their char
acter, instructing your workmen how
to provent injuries, thus securing
their co-operation in removing acci
dent hazards."

Nehawka Feud
is Revived in
Assault Monday
William 0. Troop Suffers Injuries
Alleged to Have Been Inflicted
by Edward Murray
The long series of quarrels and
shootings which have occurred in the
community just north of Nehawka
where the Troop, Mast and Murray
families reside, again burst forth
Monday afternoon when William O.
Troop, prominent farmer, who had
been involved In the previous out
breaks, was severely injured in an
assault which he charges Edward
Murray with having committed.
Mr. Troop states that be was re
turning home Monday evening short
ly before dusk and as he was travel
ing along the highway Edward
Murray passed him in a car and
stopped his car in the roadway in
front of the car of Mr. Troop, get
ting out and advancing toward the
Troop car with what, seemed, a small
ron bar, it being a connecting rod,
as far as Mr. Troop could judge.
Murray, it is claimed, advanced to
ward the Troop car, stating that
Troop was the cause of all of the
trouble that had occurred in the
neighborhood and that he intended
to kill him.
Mr. Troop, after Murray had
reached the car, jumped out and
started to run from the scene down
the road but being crippled was un
able to escape and was overhauled
by Murray whom he claimed sruck
him with the iron rod on the left
temple, knocking him down and then
struck him a number of blows on
the body with the weapon as well
as a slight blow on the right side
of the head. Troop was helpless in
the road and Murray, after the blows
desisted and left the scene, and Mr.
Troop was able to reach his car and
drive on home, a few miles away.
Mr. Troop came in this morning
to appear in court and swear out a
complaint for the assault and for a
peace bond for Murray, claiming that
he is in fear of his life. The com
plainant was badly disfigured with
his face bruised and the left eye
labek and blue from the effects of
the blow that he suffered.
The complaints were filed and
ofiEcers eent to the home of Mr. Mur
ray to place him under arrest and
bring him on into this city to appear
in court.

Meisinger Fam
ily Holds Reunion
Here Sunday
Congressman John H. Morehead
Gives AJ dress at Gathering of
This Prominent Family
The annual reunion of the Mei
singer family wos held Sunday at
Garfield park in this city and attend
ed by over 250 of the members of
this prominent Cass county family
who have had so important a part
in the development of the community
and making it one of the greatest
in the state.
The Meisir.ger family, coming ori
ginally from the thrifty and energetic
people of Germany, first settled in
the state of Illinois, where they made
a short stay and in the late seven
ties and the early eighties came
westward to the then enw and
spnrcely settled state of Nebraska.
The first members of the family
settled on farms in the vicinity of
this city and westward to Louis
ville and here they acquired in the
passing years a great deal of farm
ing land which is among the best in
the west, made so by their ener
getic farming.
In the past few years the custom
of the family reunion has been fol
lowed out and the members of the
family circle have selected this city
where so many of the family reside
as the meeting place, altho the first
reunion was held at the park at
Cedar Creek but where under unset
tled weather conditions it is difficult
to stage the reunion.
This year the committee in charge
of the reunion comprised Adam Mei
singer, J. C. Meisinger and W. G.
Meisinger and who arranged a very
pleasant time for all of the family
in the handsome and attractive park.
The members of the family yes
terday largely came with their well
laden baskets to enjoy a delightful
basket dinner at the park and where
the various .groups formed into their.
family associations and a wonder
ful opportunity was afforded to meet
and visit with each, other on this
notable event.
In the afternoon Congressman
John IT. Morehead with Mrs. More-
head visited the reunion and the
distinguished congressman gave a
very inspiring and worth while ad
dress to the members of the party.
Congressman Morehead was intro
duced by Attorney J. A. Capwell and
paid a fine tribute to the wonderful
work that the early members of the
Meisinger family had carried out
when they came to Nebraska at an
early day and carved out for their
families wonderful homes and aided
in the advancement' of the farming
interests of the country.
During the afternoon the Farmers
Union band of near Louisville was
present under the direction of their
leader. Will B. Green, and gave a
very fine program of musical num
bers to add to the enjoyment.
The members of the reunion select
ed as the committee for the year
1931. Anton Meisinger, H. G. Mei
singer, L. G. Meisinger of this vicin
ity and Ludwig Miller of Omaha.
The members of the family had
the pleasure of having present at the
reunion Adam Meisinger and son.
Louis, of Pekin, Illinois, who drove
here for the gathering ot the mem
bers of their family.
This community was much pleased
to have this large and representa
tive family of Cass county select this
city as the meeting place and trust
that they will be here for their ses
sion of 1931.
GIVE SHOWER FOR BRIDE
The handsome and attractive, home
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hild at Mur

lard, Mrs. "Will Rapp of Omaha and
Miss Irene Philpot entertained in
honor of Mrs. Sterling Ingwerson of
near this city.

ed in a color scheme of yellow and
green with the garden flowers be
ing used in the decorative plan.
The guest of honor was presented
in a very entertaining manner with
a large number of handsome gifts
that will be cherished as remem
brances of the many friends and as
sociates of the past. The ladie3 also
found diversion in the hemming of
tea towls.
Dainty refreshments were served
at an appropriate hour that enhanc

Com Prospects
of the State are
Looking Better
State and Federal Statistician Sees
Prospect for Good Crcp
Despite Drouth
Only an early frost can rob Ne
braska of a "splendid crop of corn,"
A. E. Anderson, state and federal
statistician, announced Tuesday up
on his return from a lengthy inspec
tion trip through the corn belt area
of the state.
Eicept for the fact that the corn
is extremely late, he said the crop
is far better than expected.
Accompanied by R. E. Holland, dis
trict extension leader from the agri
cultural college, and E. V. Jones, sta
tistical assistant. Anderson made an
800-mile trip throughout eastern and
south central Nebraska. -
Cron Is Late
The bulk of the corn, he said, is
very late and an early frost "would
be a calamity."
The crop is in especial need at
the present time cf warm dry windy
weather and plenty of sunshine
through September, Anderson stated.
Counties where the poorest crop
i3 in prospect, he added will average
at least 10 bushels to the acr' This
area is composed of southern Lancas
ter county. Pawnee and Gage coun
ties. Westward from the latter
county corn was found improved,
with crops in Thayer, Nuckolls and
Webster counties in much better con
dition than anticipated.
Splendid in Madison
He found a strip of poor corn in
Franklin county but beyond that the
general condition was good. Adams
and Clay counties have pocr pros
pects, Anderson said, though better
than forecast. From Hamilton coun
ty north through Madison prospects
are splendid, he said.
North of Madison county the ef
fects of dry weather were easily ap
parent, with crops in that locality
matured to the place a frost would
cause little or no injury, Anderson
reported.
. Marked Improvements was found in
Stanton, Thurston and Dodge coun
ties, with a few limited are.s south
of the Platte river still short of mois
ture. Elsewhere, he stated, pastures
and alfalfa seemed in excellent con
dition. Advises Feeding
With a splendid crop of alfalfa
on hand, Nebraska farmers would
do well to use their cron crop in
the form of silage or shredded corn
and sell their alfalfa on the. market
with this forage now quoted at $27 a
ton in Kansas City, Anderson said.
WEDDING OF YOUNG PEOPLE
A marriage of interest took place
Saturday afternoon when Mis s Claire
Trilety became the bride of Mr. How
ard M. Coe at the Presbyterian manse.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
H. G. McClusky in the presence of
the immediate family.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. J. Trilety. Mr. Coe is a form
er resident of Laramie, Wyoming.
They will make their home in Omaha
where Mr. Coe will continue his stu
dies at the University of Nebraska,
College of Medicine.
