Evidence of Nebraska's Unexampled Prosperity
Wayne Republican: Things are so dif
ferent from four years ngo that the roost
obtuse cannot full to observe It. At that
tlrao ecry dry goods box served as a ros
The republican primaries anil convention
just eono Into history afforded the second
test of tho new primary election law and
enabled thoso who observed Its operation
to note Its strength and weaknesses.
"The consensus of opinion seems to be
that the primary election law makes an
Improvement upon tho old system because
It confined the voting and participation In
the construction of tho ticket to those
who really belong to tho party holding the
primaries," remirkcd a politician specially
versed In political maneuvering. "For
merly the primary convention was a free-for-all
race, In which tho side won out
that could muster up the greatest number
of followers without regard to whether
they were republicans or democrats. As
it Is now only pronounced republicans can
vote at republican primaries and those
managing the various delegations equip
themselves with lints of eligible voters and
confine, their attention to them.
"The law, however, leaves ono loophole
that by which the voter may bo sworn In
by making affidavit before tho city clerk
and giving adequate reason for not having
registered at tho prescribed time. In the
recent primaries both Bides endeavored to
avail themselves of the aid of voters
specially registered in this manner, al
though many of the certificates
were ruled out by tho election
boards because, the reasons given did
not conform to the requirements of the
statute. The only reasons accepted nrc
absence from tho city, sickness. Ineligibil
ity to voto at tho previous elect Ion be
causo of Inotiftletcnt length of residence or
becoming of ago or being naturalized dur
ing the interval. Many votes offered on
certificates which stated the reason for non
registration to be pressure of business or
Indisposition to declare party affiliations
were generally ruled out.
Driiioeriitn Ilreonie llepnlillennii
"An example which Is at the same tlmo
n atraw Is to bo found In tho fact that in
ono election booth half n dozen voters
nsked to bo allowed to participate In the
republican primary in spite of tho fact
that they had registered hb democrats a
year ago. by offering to alllrm under oath
If necessary, that they had since become
republicans and intended to support and
voto for McKlnlcy at the coming election
The same oxperlence Is related also In
other wards.
"Ono glaring defect of the present law l
found in tho provisions relating to the
transfer of voters from ono election dig
trlct to another. Th" registration poll
books, according to whlrh the primary Is
carried on, were made n year ago. and In
the courso of a year many people havo
moved from ono ward Into another and
from ono location In the ward to another.
"In the first election held under tho new
system, last spring, the city clerk Inaugii
rated the practice of issuing certificates
to all who applied, stating that the holder
was registered na a republican or demo
crat, as the caso might be, In such and
such a precinct, and was now living by
whatever nddress might havo been given by
the. applicant. If these rertltkatcs were
accepted by the election boards It would
have been easy for a man to have voted In
two and even In nine different wards with
out restraint. With such a certificate i
man registered In the Second ward might
vote In tho Third ward, but as his namo
would still be on tho Second ward poll book
he could return there and vote again.
"To prevent this tho republican county
committee issued an order Friday to the
election boards calling their nttentlon to
tho certificate scheme and Instructing them
to refuse to recsgnlzo such certificates. In
their place blanks wero prcpnred by which
the provision of the law In respect to
transfers would bo put into effet by ap
plying for tho certificate at tho polling
place in tho ward In which registration a
had; these certificates to be recognized by
tho election board In each ward to which
they wero addressed. All this, of course,
although necessary to prevent fraud, en
tailed additional labor upon tho election
officers and hindered rapid voting.
HemeUleN that S'umreM Tliemnel vcm.
"The remedy seems to bo to have each
committee or each governing authority In
charge of the party primnrlcs to designate
a particular time In which transfers may
be mado at some central location whero
sworn offlcors may sit with all the regis
tration books before them. In this way
names could bo transferred on application
from ono book to another In advance and I
then upon tho primary election day no ono
would bo allowed to voto If not properly
enrolled on tho official register.
"Tho new law cuts down tho number of
election officers to three, where former
election boards consisted of five whenever
a contest was on. In a hotly fought bat

oughly Informed himself ns to the position
of his precinct nnd was able to speak with
authority. Tho delegates brought their dis
cussion of weeks to n close and decided
upon tho routo ot the proposed railway A
resolution was passed anklng tho county
comtulsMnners to submit a bond Issue to
the people In tho sum of $250,000 to nld
prlvato capital In building the electric road.
Tho resolution will bo presented at too
regular meeting of tho commissioner on
Saturday.
O. II. Williams of Elk CIY was appointed
chairman of the meeting nnd the following
dclrpntcs, each the president of his com
mittee from his precinct, participated H
Olmsted of Florence. J. II. Vatls of
Waterloo. A. B. Dclweiler of Millard. Judga
Itolf of Chicago. Peter Mangold of Jefferson,
P. A. Welles of South Omaha, J. J. Hurt
of Douglas. Frank Whltmore of Valley. Wil
liam A. Stolienberg of rnlon aud ralrlck"
McArdlo of McArdle.
Tho loop plan was In general favor, the
only problem being how to dispose of Flor
ence. A station there would necessitate a
wide detour. Mr. Olmsted of that precinct
mado a plea for recognition aud suggested
that the loop run directly from Omaha to
Benson nnd thence around tho county
sapnrate line, he believed, might bo oper
ated between Omaha and Florence. If bonds
wero issued he felt that Florenco should
come In for Its proper uhnre.
Loop I'lnn ureoil l'pon.
This reasoning told with the committee.
and after a prolonged discussion the plan
wns agreed upon. The resolution whicn win
bo presented to the eounty com
missioners states It to bo tho will
of the taxpayers that one nnn
should run from Ames nventte to Florence
and another from Benson or some point at
tho northwest city limits to Elk rity
thence to a point on tho west lino of the
county In Platto Valley precinct, thenco to
Valley, thence to Waterloo, thenco to
Millard, thenco to Seymour Park and South
Omaha. It was estimated that the pro
posed line would be about sixty miles long.
As such a railroad could not bo built for
less than perhaps $1,200,000 tho committee
believed tn.lt the Issuanco nf $250,000 to
nld the enterprise would bo nono too little.
Florenco Is to havo Its sharo of tho bonds
according to the length of Its road.
V. O. Strickler pointed out tho need of
haste, an according to law tho plat and
survey of tho proposed road must bo filed
with the commissioners ten days before
the bond election nnd the notice of a sub
mission of bonds must be published thirty
dnys before the voters are called upon to
decide. Chal-man Williams remarked that
thero were lour or five corporations de
slroiiH ot taking hold of tho matter at
once pr. Aiding the people of tho county
exprosEed their confidence In Its bucccsb
by voting bonds.
A. E. Lnngdon nnd .1. E. Curtl of Papll
Hon reported that there had been nn en
thusiastic meeting of Sarpy county farmers
last night, even though they could not
expect the road to cross tho county linn.
About 500 tickets are said to be used

If It Is possible to nrrungo for a stub lino
all this trnlllc and much more will bo

Tho only dissenting voice nmong tho

line would pny as a business investment
Ho said a number of heavy taxpayors and

will take him to Sioux Falls tomorrow to

leaving Nebraska Dorsey has been Inter

took a filer In the Joplin, Mo., zinc mining
district. He looks hale and hearty and tho
fact that he Iihr six years to tuirve has
not apparently dampened his sp'nts.
Tho oflenso of which Dorse) wns con
victed was making false r cairns of the
condition of tho First National bauk ot
Ponca, Neb., and of misappropriating tho
funds or said bank. He was convicted In
tho district court at Omaha and appealed
to tho circuit court, which affirmed the
Judgment of tho lower tribunal. An appeal
to the l'tcd States supremo c urt was de
nied by that body twice. Pending tho ap- i
peal to tho supreme court G. W. E. Dorsey,
brother of tho convict, appealed to tho
president for a pardon. Tho prcsldont de
clined to Interfere In tho matter and with j
that all hope was abandoned of having tho
execution of the sentence mitigated. The
