DARK PLOT IS PURE FICTION . Blddea Reaslig la Rrealatlaa tar Direct Tate aa fatate Del rata tea. "I aee I am being accused la certain pub lic prints with fasvlng set up a dark plot la the resolution passed by tbe republican county committee last week, calling for tbe primary election to select delegstes tc tbe state convention by direct vote," says Vlr- tor Rosewster. "Still. I confess to having drafted the resolution, It Is really sur prising to have thing read Into It not even dreamed of la connection with It. t As a member of the state committee, I talked tbe question of tbe slate delegation over with quite a number of the mem bers of the oounty committee, including those representing both factions, and all seemed to agre thst the direct vote plan would be best under the circumstances. This waa the opinion of city members and county members, and of the chairman, Mr. Oos. Jn order to make sure tbe tech nical details of the primary election law were observed. I drafted the resolution and shoa-ed it ta a number ef committeemen, explaining Just what It meant. The de sign of the resolution was to have tbe dele gates ta the stale convention chosen In each ward and precinct, precisely as they would be rbosen to county convention, each ward and precinct te vote only on its own candidate, wboae petition, will be filed la the usual way. "The pretense Is made that th, resolu tion adopted last Friday la identical with thai presented by me twe years ago, when under tbe famous compromise the entire delegation was elected on a blanket ballot. This Is not true. Two years ago tbe reso lution provided specifically for filing tbc entire delegation for Douglas county as one delegauon, to conform with the terms of tbe compromise then pending. There need be no confusion or misunderstanding about tbe coming primary unless the dis gruntled politicians persist In creating It. PERSONAL PARAGRAPH S. D. B. Howard of Uncoln M In Omaha, i T. W.
