G.O.P. State Head
Advocates Changes
in Direct Primary
*
Declares if Party Accountable
for Nominees It Sb/jild Have
Opportunity to Reject
Unfit Candidates.
Mperinl nhpRtch to The Omithe Her.
Aurora, Neb., July 4.—In Ills
speech In the courthouse yard of
Aurora today, Judge E. B. Perry of
Lincoln, chairman of the republican
state central committee, announced
his belief In changes in the direct
primary which would permit parties
to nominate their candidates and
which would allow them to refuse
the party name to those individuals
who are not entitled to Its uv.
Judge Perry took a pronounced
stand in favor of the primary, but
such a primary as would permit par
ties as Tiolltlcal organizations tt> con
tinue to live.
Won't Abolish Primary.
He declared that if the party must
be held responsible for the party
nominees, then the parties should be
given a rhaitce to prevent a candi
date who is unlit from becoming its
nominee.
“No party should he compelled to
accept as its candidate a jnan who
is known to he corrupt and unfit fQr
the office for which he is a candi
date, ” declared Judge Perry. "We
are not going to abolish the direct
primary as a incans for selecting our
candidates, but we are going to make
the direct primary workable. We ere
going to adapt it to our conditions
so that we can compel our best men
to accept public offices ’’
Retain Freedom. ,
It is Judge Perry’s Idea that party
conventions should he allowed to
name candidates to appear on the
primary ballot as the convention fa
vors. This will not prevent Individ
tials from becoming candidates in
the primary, It will not prevent or
ganizations within the parties from
having their candidates, he said.
In Ills address Judge Perry deriared
that the causes of the revolutionary
war and the war of secession in ’ll,
and of the world war in 1914 to 1919,
were similar, if not identical.
