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

and also a great deal of discussion
on the part of the delegates. 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

From Friday's Dally

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.
