Bright Weather Will Aid Norris in Primary Vote Will Increase Rural Ballots That Are Expected to Go to Him—Mathers Sanguine. (Contlniul Fran Par* On*.) slori prevails, and the statement Is made by one who has tried to make an unbiased and unprejudiced sur vey, that ths Gustafsen vote will hurt Mathers more than McMullen, and If this Is true then It naturally follows that McMullen’s chances are the heat. Mathers enthusiasts hold the opposite view, all of which shows the danger of prophecy when General Apathy Is in charge of the primaries. There Is seemingly no difference between the supporters of McMullen and Mathers In the matter of the senatorshlp. Sloan sentiment and Norris sentiment exists among them nil. Division of sentiment on the senatorshlp Is making no difference with the support accorded to the two leading republican candidates for gov ernor. Sloan Strong in Cities. Sloan sentiment prevails In the cities and towns; Norris sentiment Is strongest In the rural precincts. This admitted fact leads up to the conclu sion that the final result depends very largely upon weather conditions. If election day Is bright and deaf and the roads In good shape, Norris will profit. If the weather Is bad and the roads hard to negotiate, the rural vote will be cut down and Sloan will profit. The latter situation will be true In the same measure In the mat ter ef governor aa between McMullen and Mathers, but It will mean a de creased vote for Bryan. There is one other factor that must he considered, and It Is one that will be beneficial to the Sloan candidacy.

No Interest In legislature. Ordinarily considerable attention would have been paid to the men aspiring to the legislature, but not so new. Not the slightest Interest Is being shown In this most Important matter. It Is doubtful If out of the first 100 men questioned In any leg islative district two of them would be able to give the names of the candi dates.

McNary, Oregon, Chairman —---- April 2, 1924. Mr. Robert Smith, Omaha, Nebraska. My Dear Mr. Smith: An item in the press advises that your primaries are soon to be held and that United States Senator George W. Norris is a candidate in a com petitive field. That situation prompts me to say that I sincerely hope that the Republican voters of Nebraska will nominate Senator Norris for the welfare of the country at large. For several years I have been a member of the Senate Agri culture Committee, and in a position to observe the Senator’s work as Chair man of that important committee, and his wide and thorough knowledge of eco nomic laws and his sympathy for the distressed condition of the agriculturists fit him for leadership of this committee. His removal.therefrom through political defeat would be a tremendous loss to the Nation. I am writing this letter without solicitation and with a desire to express my high esteem for a faithful public servant. Sincerely and cordially yours, Mc-HK ' ' CHAS. L. McNARY.

The principal feature of the business was a credit-reporting system for securing snd filing a complete record of all credit transactions, financial standing, Income, and moral re sponsibility of credit customers. Demand for this information by retail dealers in Omaha soon developed a system that covered the entire city, and business rapidly increased until ail office force of 12 people Is now required to handle the'hundreds of calls received daily for credit information. The .1. J. Cameron Credit bureau lias now on file over 120,000 complete records, showing the credit and financial standing of individuals in Omaha. Over 1,100 merchants are using this service, and their credit losses sre Fe nced from 21$ per cent to less than !j of 1 per cent, said Cameron. In connection witli this credit system the firm publishes a weekly re moval list, showing all moves in the city and various changes made in buying and selling homes and other property.
