Independent
Ticket Misnomer
in This State
Many Candidates Are Inquiring How
to Ride Along With Sen
ator Norris.
This so called independent ticket
(upon which it is generally under
stood Senator Norris is going to run,
promises to be mighty popular, ac
cording to Inquiries received by Sec
retary of State Swanson who is in
charge of primary nominations. It is
'evident that many prospective candi
dates want to get on the same ticket
with Norris and run right along with
him and get the benefit of the inde
pendent vote that he may be able
to draw.
But there is a catch in it. The
catch Is there is no independent
ticket or ballot In Nebraska upon
which any candidate can run either
at the primary election or at the gen
eral election.
At the primary election each poli
tical party has a separate ballot.
There are only two political parties
now in existence in this state, dem
ocratic and republican. Candidates at
the primary must represent or af
filiate with a party that cast at least
5 percent of the total vote at the pre
vious general election. The prohibi
tion, socialist, progressive and other
parties of past days failed to qualify
some years ago. New parties may be
organized by a convention of 750 elec
tors and their candidates find a place
on ballots.
Runs by Petition.
What Is meant by running "inde
pendent" Is not running on a separate
ballot, but means that after the pri
mary election anyone desiring to be
come a candidate at the ensuing gen
eral election may run by petition,
meaning without a party designation.
To obtain a place on the general elec
tion ballot and run independent of
party the candidate, if asking for a
statewide office, must have a petition
of 1,000 voters and if running in a
district less than the entire state,
200 electors for petitioners. Accept
ance of such petition nomination is
required. The petition can be filed
thirty days before the general elec
tion. The name of the candidate is
printed upon the general election bal
lot in this form: "John Jones, by
petition." No party designation Is
allowed. The name will be under a
headline designating the office for
which the candidate aspires, such as
for governor, for congressman, first
district, and so forth.
A candidate who ran at the pri
mary election is not permitted to a
second run for his money by run
ning "by petition" at the general
election. In regard to money, Secre
tary of State Swanson said he found
two years ago that the law did not
require petition candidates at the
general election to pay the nomin
ating fee required of candidates at
the primary. Thus Norris, if he runs
by ptition for senator at the gen
eral election may be relieved of the
?50 filing lee which candidates for
this office must pay to get on the
primary ballot.
No Farty to Help or Hinder.
Candidates running by petition or
"independent" at the general elec
tion will have to take their own
chances of getting votes. A candidate
running for congress by petition will
find his name far away from the
name of candidates for United States
senator. Those running by petition
will find that they have no party
name to help them draw votes, nor
will they be held accountable for the
sins of either political party since
their political affiliation will not be
disclosed on the ballot.
Since the legislature of 1933, a
democratic body, passed a law in ef
fect saying: "Notwithstanding many
state laws to the contrary, there
ain't guine to be no mo' party circle
on the ballot," and the supreme court
of Nebraska upheld this act, party
candidates on the general election
ballot no longer reap straight party
votes where the voter did not make
a cross opposite their names. The
legislature of 1335 also passed an
act decreeing that all non-political
candidates should give up their sepa
rate ballot and must have their names
printed on the general election bal
lot, thus shunting the non-political
candidates for the one house legis
lature over to the one and only bal
lot to be cast by the voters.
The much talked of "independent
ticket" will be found scrambled with
the general election ballot and those
running as independents will in fact
be running by petition.

Davenport Urges
No Separation of
Tiiler and Land
Tells Farmers at Organized Agricul
ture to Let No "Emergency
Device" Divide Them.
Heaping high praise upon Amer
ican farmers, E. Davenport, former
dean of the Illinois agricultural col
lege, told hundreds of farm people
attending the closing sessions of or
ganized agriculture that there should
be no separation of the farm from
the land. The two belong together,
he said, a working partnership be
tween the four greatest of all na
tural resources.
Davenport's address came on the
general session Thursday afternoon
at the college of agriculture at Lin
coln where meetings have been held
all week. Duncan Marshall, noted
Canadian agricultural leader, and
Mrs. Mildred Inskeep Morgan, Iowa
City homemaker, were other speak
ers. The 1936 organized agriculture
meetings closed Thursday night with
the annual dairymen's banquet at the
college of agriculture.
Speaking about "The Farmer and
the Land," the former Illinois agri
culturist altho not mentioning cur
rent controversial subjects said, "The
farmer is accused of having overdone
the matter of production to such an
extent as to break the market and
the collges are blamed for leading
him into it, as if the only thing they
ever taught was how to make iv-o
blade3 of grass gro.v where but one
grew before. This is being said right
and left in the public press by men
who in all probability would not
know a Clydesdale from a Percheron
or either one of them from a saw
horse."
Dean Davenport told lT;e hundreds
in the student activities building for
the general session that Nebraska is
one of the great agricultural states.
"It has good land and it is poor-led
by men and women who have their
feet upon the ground, largely, I am
led to believe, because they live by
their land and not by their wits," he
added.
Continuing his tlieiae about "The
Farmer and the Land," the educator
spoke of six great natural resources
of major consequence to an independ
ent, self governing people. They in
cluded forests, mines, rainfall, sun
light, land, and a people free to de
termine their own destiny.
Sunlight was referred to a3 the
greatest resource of all as it not only
does thi3 work free of charge but
gives health and power to individuals
while it warms the fields. Farmers
deal with three of the six great re
sources and a fourth in themselves
and their family. The farmer was
described as an engineer of some con
sequnce in the affairs of society and
deliberations of a nation.
Propounding the question of
whether the food supply of 125 mil
lions should be left to the judgment,
knowledge, skill, industry and . pos
sibly "awkwardness" of six million
farmers, the elderly speaker em
phatically defended Tarmer-manage-ment
of farm lands.
Dean Davenport pointed out the
fallacy in the philosophy of public

ownership of lands and the like. "If
I would warn my farmer friend
against any one thing in these hectic
days, it is against the arguments
that are as logical as the multipli
cation table but that have ommitted,
for the purpose at hand, especially
when it is political, certain important
facts that bear upon the situation or
have indulged in certain assumptions
that may not wash," the elderly
speaker declared.
Day of Fault Finding.
"These are Cays of wholesale fault
finding. We are in trouble, we want
a scape goat, something to lay our
troubles on and to kick around. Now
anybody can find faults in any hu
man institution but it takes a master
to suggest a remedy."
Referring to crop surpluses and
contrasting the unemployment situ
ation, the farm- audience was told'
that the farmer has not produced a
surplus above normal needs of the
country. He spoke of the days of the
great war when farmers were asked
to plow up pastures and sow spring
wheat in the corn belt under the
familiar slogan, "Food Will Win the
War."
"When we remember this and the
fact that it Is a good deal of a job
to rearrange the rotations and re
store pastures that were plowed up
to feed the allies when I remember
this and what I saw them go thru
I take my hat off to the farmer and
I resent abuse heaped upon him,"
Davenport said emphatically.
"The farmer and the land belong
together as the Siamese twins of cre
ation and let nothing separate them,"
Davenport said In closing. "Let no
'emergency' device, no specious or
high sounding arguments of self ap
pointed social reformers come be
tween them. As we all value free
dom and self government here is
where the American farmer should
make his stand."
Society, tho, is entitled to a sys
tem of land management that will
produce its food in acceptable va
riety, in adequate amounts and at
reasonable cost.
"We must remember that there is
and can be no system of government
ownership cr management, nor cor
porate farming that can produce food
to greater advantage or at lower cost
than can the American family fight
ing for its home.' Let nothing sepa
rate the farmer from the land."
MULLEN ATTENDED MEETING
Omaha. Arthur F. Mullen was
present at the national democratic
committee meeting in Washington
with the status of committee mem
ber altho he has resigned as Nebras
ka's committeeman. It was disclosed
here. Mullen took part in the com
mittee's deliberations as a proxy for
the committeeman for Hawaii, ac
cording to the report. Mullen was In
North Platte Tuesday.
TRIO FIRE UPON YOUTHS
Beatrice. Three Beatrice youths,
Verile Sichley, Dick Rademacher and
Tom Yott, Tuesday told police they
were the unwilling targets of a trio

said the gunners shot at them with
rifles from a viaduct, one bullet
pierced Yott's clothing, and they
sought protection behind a pile of
bricks.

INJUNCTION FOR AAA DENIED
Philadelphia. In one word, "de
nied," the U. S. district court dis
posed of P. T. Vincent's request for
an injunction to preserve the AAA
until the people decide its fate by
referendum.
Attorney Arthur C. Hirst, repre
senting Vincent, who sells real es
tate and steamship tickets, said he
will go to the supreme court with
his petition, asking that the court
specify the practical effect of its de
cision invalidating the agricultural
adjustment act. He holds that the
wrecking of an act immediately after
a ruling that it is unconstitutional
is based on "custom alone."
UNION STOCKYARDS ELECTS

ager of the Union Stockyards of Om

the company. All directors had pre

holders meeting. The fifty-second an
nual report of the company revealed
a decided falling off in livestock re
ceipts last year as compared with the
previous year. The decreases were
given as 45' percent in cattle, 100
percent in calves, more than 100 per
cent in hogs and 15 percent in sheep.

HOPES FOR HOUSING PLAN
Washington. An early conference
to determine means of aiding the
small income group In the problem
of constructing new homes is plan
ned by President Roosevelt. He es
timated at his press conference that
at least 90 percent of the people who
need better housing are within the
group earning $2,500 a year or less
and unable to pay for houses costing
upwards of $5,000.
Pending a general talk on this
problem with leuerai 6
and housing experts, Mr. Roosevelt
said there was no plan in sight to
meet the situation, but he hoped to
get something.
Would Retire
Land as AAA
Substitute
Soil Conservation Officer Says Thou
sands of Acres of Unfit Soil
Should Not Ee Used.
Albion, Neb. R. L. von Trebra of
Albion, in charge of the federal soil
conservation fcervice in Nebraska,
Monday said thousands of acres of
land unfit for cultivation should be
removed from productions as a sub
stitute program for the AAA.
"The fundamental principle back
of the soil conservation program is
a proper use of land," von Trebra
said, "and this would tend to stabil
ize the annual acreage of various
crops."
"Production on submarginal acre
ages usually is sufficient to create an
excess even tho that excess cannot
be produced at a pre fit. Erosion has
made unfit thousands of acres which
should be removed from cultivation
because they afford only a meager
existence to the operator.
"If a crop production control pro
gram involves the removal from cul
tivation of some land now being
farmed, an excellent opportunity
should exist to take out of cultivation
acreages in many communities which
are unsuited for crop production."
Suggested substitutes for the AAA
call for possible removal of land from
cultivation, "which is exactly the
plan on which the soil conservation
service is working," he added.
