Smith, attorney; Homer Sylvester, sheriff; Lillian White, register of deeds; William A. Metzger. legisla ture, all of whom gave greetings. Fred L. Carsten had been present but was absent when the candidates were presented. Introduce Resolutions Judge C. S. Wortman. of South Bend, presented the following reso lution and which brought on a great deal of debate: Resolved that it is the sense of this convention that the state pri mary law. for the nomination of all public officers, should be drastically revised, to the end that men of merit will be on at least an even footing with men who have the advantage of popular names to commend them to the voters; also that candidates who have but limited funds to spend in their candidacies will not be at such serious disadvantage with opponents who have wealth or wealthy friends to spend huge propaganda money for them. In this connection we observe that in the August 9th 193S statewide primary election, three " unknown men, running for a party nomination for three different state offices, won over all opponents in his party, some of whom were well and favorably known. That in this instance, each of the three had the advantage of being named "Johnson." Thus three candidates, each because his name was "Johnson" won three of the seven state office nominations in Ne braska. This is further proof that in both major political parties, men of considerable merit, are in every pri mary election, surprisingly defeated for party nominations by incompetent or unknown candidates who happen to bear popular names. Therefore, be it further resolved, that we respectfully request that each of the two candidates on the non-political ballot for the state leg islature from this district publicly and through the newspapers declare himself on the matter of changing the primary law to correct this glar ing evil. Be it further resolved, that said non-political candidates for the legis lature publicly state before election whether or not he will if elected vote to restore, to a limited extent, the party convention system, a system which, however, while permitting party convention nominations by re sponsible party delegates, will per mit a party review, or party vote, at any regular party primary elec tion; and that such system apply to all candidates for all offices in Ne braska except governor, congress men and United States senators. The resolution was supported very vigorously by the introducer in a speech at some length. Adam Marshall of this city made a defense of the primary law as being the common citizen's right to express his choice at the polls and for their people that might aspire to the can didacy for office. Senator W. B. Banning of Union and Attorney D. O. Dwyer of this city were heard in support of the resolu tion and very ably attacked the oper ation of the primary law. George W. Olson was heard in de fense of the primary law and pointed out the argument of Judge Wortman as to popular names as he had been named Olson and still had been de feated. Frank Stander, of Louisville, one of the young democrats of the coun ty also spoke briefly in support of the primary measure as a forward step. The resolution was adopted by a voice vote with a large majority favoring the measure. Judge C. S. Wortman then present ed the second resolution that drew as much opposition as the primary If 03- I P k.Ji .if F "vVH. . I . . V-- .-jr.' i 1 Enough for a Salad Manasquan. N J.

The resolution follows: Resolved that It is the sense of th!s convention that farmers who upe power machinery, other than automobiles, to farm their farms should be exempt from paying the state gasoline road tax on such farm equipment. We point to the fact that a six cent tax on gasoline 5 cents by the state and 1 cent by the federal government has driven the farmer to use a substitute and cheaper fuel than gasoline for tractor and other farm uses, and we deem it unfair and discriminatory against the farm er who runs his farm tractor on his farm lands only, to be compelled to pay the same road tax for such gaso line that the motor user of the pub lie highways pays to keep up or build highways. Be it further resolved, that we favor the reduction of the state gaso line tax from 5 cents per gallon to three cents per gallon, which will put us on an equal footing wtlh our neighboring sister states of Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota; that it will end the bootlegging of gasoline across state lines and also lessen the tax burdens of gasoline users to that extent. And be it further resolved, that we request the successful candidate for the state legislature, to support amendatory legislation In the com ing legislative session of 1939 to bring this relief to all gasoline users, and end the discrimination against the farmer. The resolution carried by a rising vote of 19 to 17 and with a great many of the delegates not voting on the proposition. The convention as its final action of the meeting elected George E Nickles of Murray, as the chairman of the county committee and named Mrs. John Rauth of Manley as the vice-chairman, two very fine selec tions and assuring artive leadership AVOCA NEWS Theodore Nutman and B. Monroe of Omaha were guests last Saturday at the home of John Nutzman. John Marquardt bought a new Ford V-8, going to Detroit for the same. He arrived home with the new car Thursday night. Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Hauptman came down from their home in Lin coin for a visit at the home of Frof. Hauptman's mother. Miss Helen Madison, a former teacher in the Avoca schools, who resides north of Nebraska City, vis ited friends here last Saturday. Lee Hauptman and Ed Shackley departed last week for a trip thru the Ozark mountain country and ex pect to be gone about ten days. Mr. and Mrs. John Nutzman and Mrs. Henry Maseman were in Om aha last Monday, where they did some shopping and visited friends. D. S. Sumner, former agent at Avoca, and now agent at Platts mouth for the Missouri Pacific, was here last Sunday, together with his wife, and they were enjoying a brief visit with old friends. Tuesday evening the Avoca Gar den club met at the lumber yard and inspected the thicket which was recently planted by H. M. Lum and also visited other places about town to inspect the gardens and lawns. George Shackley and Louis Car sten were in Nehawka last Monday evening, where they attended the special meeting of the I. O. O. F. lodge and enjoyed the initiation in which a number were given the Grand Lodge degree as well as some who received the second degree in the subordinate lodge. Fred Marquardt purchased a new Ford V-S last week and with the family made a trip to Utica Sunday, where they visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Hile. Mr. Mar quardt made special observation of the crops in that section and says conditions are not as good there as i: this locality although there will be some corn, which is more than last year. Observe Annual Celebration About a quarter of a century ago, some twenty couples were married in this vicinity during the summer and fu the years that followed at least a part of these have concentrated on some one day to meet at the home of one of the couples and celebrate the general anniversary. This year the celebration was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ruhge, who were among those married that year. Simon Rehmeier and wife, of Alvo, another of the twenty couples, were the out-of-town folks present, to gether with a number of local coup les whose wedding day runs back to that same year. All Interest Centers in the Korn Karnival (Continued from rage 1) TO VISIT m WEST From Friday's Dally Mrs. Emil Ptak and Mrs. John Ba- jeck returned yesterday with Mr. and Mrs. Paul Campbell to spend two weeks visiting with them at their home in Minitare, Nebraska. Mrs. Campbell was formerly Elizabeth Ba-Jeck. set apart as heretofore to agricul tural exhibitions. The committee is busy arranging for and promises a 3core of new features never before attempted.' The farmers have never yet failed to come through in grand style and we know they will hold up their traditional record of bigger and better events each year. Farmers' Day parades are always looked forward to as one of the out standing highlights of each year's Korn Karnival. Friday will be Bohemian and All- Nations day. Tried out last year, with comparatively short time to get ready, this proved a highly suc cessful part of the four day show. This year, making plans weeks in advance they will be able to far out do their initial efforts. Climaxing this day will be the only evening parade of the week, under the flood lights on Main street. On Friday special recognition will also be paid the largest ftmily in this territory (see special announce ment elsewhere in this issue). Saturday will bring a multitude of features, including the mile-long parade of Rural Schools, 4-H Clubs and Plattsmouth School Children also the soap box derby for the Cass county championship. A Post Karnival Event One of the new features planned for this year is the big Religious Rally to take place on the Sunday following the four days of hilarity and entertainment a climaxing demonstration. This is to be a county-wide rally and is to include every religious group in the county that wishes to participate, irrespective of creed or denomination. The present plans contemplate a marching spectacle or parade, which is to form on High school hill. This parade will be headed by the Platts mouth hand under the leadership of reter Gradoville and as an appro priate marching number they will play "Onward Christian Soldiers" as the spectacle moves down Main street. Each group is expected to have a banner with nuitable in scription and designation. The time suggested is 2:30 p. m. Sunday, Sep tember 25. At th Karnival platform, whifh will remain for this use. a short, snappy program will be given and the band will close with "The Star Spangled Banner." Arrangements for this latest addition to the Kar nival program are in charge of a committee of which Rev. Callaway, Louisville, is chairman. Incidental Features Besides the rides and concessions that go along with a celebration of Korn Karnival magnitude, there will bo larger and more varied exhibits thi3 year than ever before. Not alone korn, but agricultural and horticul tural products of all kinds will be displayed at the korn palace. The flower show, historical and art ex hibits will be bigger and better; even the street decorations will exceed in beauty those of former years. Pioneers will be welcomed and accorded every courtesy by Dr. G. H. Gilmore, who will be in charge of the Pioneer and Historical room located in a convenient street-level room on Main street probably the irge room in the Bekins building formerly occupied by the Cream of the West Eakery. Here the Home Coming guests can meet, register and be made comfortable while they exchange stories of former days. In the music line, five out-of-town bands, the Plattsmouth band and the Junior drum and bugl? corps will be on hand. A baseball tournament will afford entertainment for lovers of thi3 great American pport. R. Foster Patterson will again pre side at the microphone in his own nlmitable manner of announcing hat has won commendation in years past. So get ready and tell all your friends that Korn Karnival time is rapidly drawing near and Platts mouth will put over its finest and biggest show of all time this year, on September 21-22-23-24.
