The Northwestern still contends
that the new primary law is a dismal
failure. Not only that, but it proves
to be an expensive failure for the tax
payers. The primary law cost the
taxpayers of Sherman county some
thing over $700, it is estimated, while
the taxpayers received about $115.
And what do they get in return ? Do
they get any purer political aspirants
in the candidates named? Nit. And
in at least one instance a candidate
has been foisted on to a party ticket
who could not have received a half
dozen votes in a party convention,
and is distinctly distasteful to the
party and voters in general, and when
the results of the fall election are
made known will be found to have
polled so ridiculously a small vote
that it will be likened to the proverbial
needle in a hay-stack. In general,
however, the candidates nominated
at the primary are just what would
jhave been nominated by party con
j ventions. and such conventions would
! not have cost the taxpayers one cent.
In many counties in the state, how
ever, a per cent of candidates much
larger than is the fact in this county,
have gained nominations they never
could have gained had party conven
tions been held, nor could have been
nominated had there been two or
more men contesting for the same
office, merely getting the nomination
through default- of there being more
than one. The primary proves to be
a good thing for some self-made can
didates whose-only chance to even be
a party nominee is in this way, but
whose election is not to be thought
of in November.
It is not Judge Hostetler's fault,
unless the fact that he is a very
popular jurist makes it so, butaixxmi
lng to the primary returns he has
the nomination for judge from this
district not only from the republi
cans. tut from populists, socialists and
prohibitionists sis well, and by c*nly a
scratch was prevented from beir-g the
democratic nom inee for district judge.
But then, the judge has made a
splendid record, and even his political
enemies, as you see, acknowledge it
and want to share in the honor of
his re-election.
Thos. R. Lay not only secures the
republican 'nomination for oiunty
clerk, by the action of the primaries,
but receives the democratic nomina
tabulated votp. ’Jtom is * Re
publican, but oap smilingly accept
the good offices qf his democratic
friends in boosting him into' the court
ty clerkship. _____

At a meeting of the republican
county candidates last Saturday even
ing at the office of Aaron Wall, chair
man of the Republican County Central
Committee, and with Secretary Starr
at the desk and every county candi
date present, save Dr. A. S. Main,
candidate for coroner, the following
county central committe was selected
by the candidates under the pro
visions of the new primary law: Loup
City, Aaron Wall; Logan, E. E. Tracy;
Oak Creek, John Chipps: Ashton,
Theo. Ojend.vk: Rockville, Henry
Tangerman: Webster. H. S. Conger;
Washington, Carl T. McKinnie; Elm,
Adam Zahn: Clay. Charles Snyder;
Hazard, Emil Swanson, Jr., Harrison,
M. S. Tafey; Bristol, Bert Edwards,
and Scott, John Greenhalgh. There
will be a second meeting next Satur
day afternoon at the same place to
elect a chairman and secretary of the
central committee, and to elect one
delegate to the state meeting at
Lincoln to form a state central com
mittee, to elect officers and to draft a
platform for the party to stand upon,
as also provided by the new primay
law.
Tnere was a pretty warm little
scrap before the populist primary for
the populist nomination for superin
tendent of schools, in a three-cornered
tight between Rol Hendrickson. L. H.
Currier and J. F. Nicoson, the former
winning the nomination by only eight
votes over Prof. Currier. However,
the voters will leave Rol on the
private citizen list this fall and re
elect Supt. M. H. Mead for the second
term, which the usual courtesy and
his most excellent fitness for the
office entitle him.
Sheriff Williams is not exactly as
young as he used to be, but as a
political sprinter he leads them all.
At the primary no one thought of
voting for any one else, and even the
democrats concluded he was the right
man and he thus becomes the demo
cratic candidate for sheriff as well as
the choice of his republican party.
His opponent will scarcely be known
in the race.
The populist county candidates met
in the court room Iasi Saturday after
noon to select a county central com
mittee for that party, but the North
western was refused access to the
minutes of the meeting, so is unable
to give the names of the central com
mittee named. Is it possible our
populist friends propose to inaugurate
star council proceedings behind closed
doors and leave the public in the
dark as to their doings?
County Assessor Lewis Bechtliold
will not sound bad. Louie has the
republican nomination for that most
important county office and will prove
a race horse of no mean speed and is
liable to come in on the home stretch
distancing his populist opponent.
The republican nominees for super
visors in their several districts are
W. T. Gibson, H. B. Musser and WTm.
Jacobs, and unless the signs of the
times are wrong will be sworn in at
the beginning of the new year as
county fathers.
Ak-Sar-Ben Thrillers.
“More attractions for the Ak-Sar
Ben fall festi vital have been contract
ed for and the carnival grounds this
season will rival any of previous years
in their wealth of amusement novel
ties. The greatest of the free acts is
the exhibition of Harry L. Thomas,
the world’s famous areonaut, who as
cends in a mammoth baloon from the
carnival grounds at 12 o’clock noon
on a set day (weather permitting)
and will remain many thousands of
feet In the air for 27 hours. The
famous La Thoma will also make
daily ascensions and participate in
the baloon and airship races.
The most daring feat of the free
acts is the slide for life that will be
made by M’lle La Blonche, along a
cable suspended from the top of a 44
foot tower erected on the roof of the
eight story Brandeis building, to the
highest point on the steeple of the
First .Presbyterian church, hundreds
of feet away. Her descent is made
without the use of brakes, and is the
most perilous and genuine thriller of
the age. It is the most sensational
feat that has ever been offered to the
public.”
A Cat Rate Price
This is the first campaign in Ne
braska in which political bosses cut
no figure. The people will nominate
the candidates and afterwards elect
them. You are one of the people
and should take an active interest in
these primaries and elections here
after. Politics from now on means a
square deal for the masses; lower
passenger .rates, lower -frieglit rates,
less extortion by trusts and com
binations. These things can only be
accomplished by everv honest voter
making it a part of his business. The
people can only know what is really
going on by reading the newspapers.
But ought to read a newspaper that
can print the truth about the candi
dates: a paper that lira no self-in
terest in politics; whose owners are
not office-holders or office-seekers.
The publishers think the STATE
JOURNAL is such a paper and in
order to prove it to you make the
- special offer of only 50 cents from now
until after election:seventy-five cents
if—you want the Sunday also. The
earlier you send in your order the
more you get for you;r money. Lin
coln is the news center.
