BILL IS INTRODUCED BY REPRE SENTATIVE ALDERSON. TO IMPROVE INSANE HOSPITAL Senator C. A. Randall Will Take the Bill as Soon as It Gets Through the House , and Rush It Through the Sen ate Effective Efforts. A bill appropriating $100.000 for Im provements at the Norfolk Insane bos- illal was Introduced during the day In : ho house of representatives at Lin coln by T. E. Alderson , representative from Madison county , according to a telephone message from C. E. Burn- ham , president of the Commercial club and legislative representative of that organization. This bill , It Is said , will bo rushed through the house and go soon to the senate , where 11 will bo glvon the vigorous attention of Sen ator C. A. Randall of the Eleventh dis trict. These two legislators , together with their friends from other parts of north ern. Nebraska , are working enthusiast ically for the needs of this section of the state , as well as for the state at large and much effective legislation Is resulting fiom their efforts. The announcement just made by the slate university regents that they will bo willing to buy text books to either sell or rent to students , and that they are anxious to hold open meetings , Is a result of active work on the part of Senator Randall , who has had this progressive step In mind for some lime. His theory Is that students ought to be given books just as cheap as possible and that Hie university , which is supported by the state , ought to provide books al cost ; and that the university , on the other hand , ought to have enough money to run It decently. STATE PRIMARY PLAN. The Scheme Submitted to the Nebras ka Legislature. Lincoln , Neb. , Fob. 19. Special to The News : The Minnesota primary plan , submitted to the state legisla ture , Is In brief as follows : Before the voter will bo permitted to cast his ballot in the primary , ho must state his party alllllatlon and he will then ho handed the ticket of the party named. If ho refuses to name his par ty , he will bo denied a vote. If his vote Is challenged , ho must swear that ho alllllatcs with his party and that ho will support its nominees. The campaign committees , of the respective parlies shall , under Iho pro posed bill , be seleclod by the candi dates and Die platforms shall be for mulated by the candidates who shall assemble In Lincoln for the first time on the fourth Tuesday of September , 1908 , for this purpose. The platforms shall be written by the candidates , bi ennially. The congressional and dis trict committees shall be appointed by the candidates for congress and for district judge. The present campaign committees of all parties shall be per mitted to remain In office until their successors are appointed or elected. The machinery of the law under which the primary Is to be carried out Is made by the bill to correspond with that of election. The same judges-and clerks shall preside at both contests and the ballots are to be made to con form to the same general shape and form. Voters must register In the same manner as for election. In ev ery way , the bill attempts to keep close to the form of election so that both voters and officials have little that is new to learn. The fees that the candidates shall be charged vary as follows : For state offices , $100 each ; for congressional and district offices , $25 ; for members of the legislature and county offices , $10. In the meeting of the joint com mittee Friday evening to consider the bill , Senator Patrick of Sarpy county made a fierce attack on this feature of the bill , claiming that the charging of fees Is contrary to the spirit and letter of the constitution and stated his determination to fight this provi sion of the bill on the floor of the senate. The primaries shall bo held on the first Tuesday In September for the nomination of all officers except those of village and township and school dis trict. City primaries of Omaha and Lincoln for elections of city offices shall be held five weeks prior to elec tion while In the oilier cllles of the state , the primaries shall be held four weeks prior to election. At least six ty days before any September primary Is hold , the governor must Issue a proclamation announcing the offices to bo filled at the next election and shall send a copy of this proclamation to each county clerk. Within ten days af ter receiving the proclamation , the county clerk must post and publish no tice of the primary In exactly the same manner as ho does that of an election. To Kill Fusion. The name of no candidate shall bo printed on the ballots of two parlies. This will kill fusion in the state , it is thought. At the final meeting of the joint committee , the fuslonlsts de clared that the primary law was drawn to kill fusion and Dodge , the author of the hill , stated that ho believed fu sion would bo Impossible under the now law if enacted. The candidates must file their names with the county clerks at least thirty days before the primary. For officers elective in more than ono county , presidential electors and members of congress , the nomina tion papers shall bo filed with the sec retary of state and the county clerks of the counties concerned shall receive nntlllcatloii from the noerotary of On the fouiteeiith day before Iho iulmar\ , the county clerk hnll group the names of ( he candidates of the 10- spcctlvo parties by themselves and ilace thorn on tholr respective ballots n alphabetical order . Where It ap pears that Micro are more than Uvo candidates for any ono otllco , the print- r must rotate those names for ( ivory l,00n ballots. The rotation will bo ac complished by lifting the nnmo of the llrst man after 1,000 ballots have boon printed and placing It al the foot of the list. The ballots shall bo so ar ranged for the primary olllcers that no wo ballots exactly alike shall appear ogothor. SPORTS TROUBLE FOR ANSON. Chicago's Indignant Citizens Do Not Want a New Dall Field.
