So now you may have the full ex
ercise of your freemans choice of
candidates at the primarv. That’s
right.
We have yet to hear one word in
commendation of the new primarv
law from our readers, as they under
stand it. According to it, any plug
ugly can become a candidate on any
party ticket, provided he is in posses
sion of a few dollars to buy himself a
place on the same. It appears to be
the rankest, rottenest specimen of
the kind ever placed upon the
statute books.
If a person is asked why lumber is
skywards in price, the usual answer
in part is that the tariff is one prime
cause. To settle a tariff dispute on
lumber the other day. ti e governor
instructed his private secretary to
look up the tariff schedules on that
article and found that the duty on
common lumber was 50 cents per
1,000 feet, while on the dressed or
high grade stuff it was $2. This
being the case, the prime cause will
have to be looked for elsewhere.
Secretary of State .1 unkin has re
eeived numerous inquiries whether a
vote should be counted for a repub
lican who bias been voted for in the
democratic or some other column,
same being written in by the voter.
Mr. Junkin holds this will not count
as a republican vote, blit must be
counted for the party in whose
column the name is writlen—thas is,
if Jonn Jones is running for a repub
lican nomination and some democrat
writes his name on the democratic
ticket, the democrat vote will not
count for John Jones, republican.—

By all political precedent, a man is
supposed to be given by his party a
second nomination for any office, pro
vided his official acts are in accord
with that party. This thought is
brought to the fore by the case of
State Railway Commissioner Henry
T. Clark of Omaha, who was appoint
ed by Governor Sheldon to fill the
vacancy made by the resignation of
Commissioner Cowell, and who asks
for a nomination to that office by the
republican party. Notwithstanding
that by precedent he should be given
the nomination by his party, there
being nothing against his record since
his appointment, there are two or
three other men asking for the nomi
nation to the office which so far as
we can learn he has filled with entire
satisfaction. Just why these other
men are up for the office, or on what
ground they wish Mr. Clarke turned
down, we are unable to learn, and
until we know of some good and
sufficient reason for theirelevation, to
the consequent defeat of the present
incumbent, we shall lie for Henry T.
Clarke, Jr., the present member of
the State Railway Commission, for
election to that office, and urge the
readers of the Northwestern to do
likewise. Vote for Hon. Henry T.
Clarke. Jr., present member of the
State Railway Commission, to succeed
himself in that important office. It
is but justice to Mr. Clarke.
There is strong talk of government
investigation into the great telephone
monopolies as an outcome of the tele
graphic operators’ strike. It is well
understood that the Western Union
monopoly is about two-thirds to three
fourths watered stock and on this
they seem to be able to make a 5 per
cent dividend every two months or
so. which would give at least 30 per
cent dividend on the actually invested
money. And then when the men
working for said monopoly wish a
fair remuneration for their work,
they are turned down. Our sym
pathies are with the working meri jn
this fight and we believe a govern
ment investigation would develop
startling facts in regard to the
methods of this great grasping tele
phonic monopoly.
If people ever had an itching ear
for slanderous stories concerning their
neighbors it is not so now. Personal
abuse is deservedly unpopular and
human nature at the best manifests
so many defects that eacli individual
will find plenty of material within
themselves if they are of a criticising
turn of mind.—O'Niell Frontier.
