THIE OMAHA DAILY BEE. PPNDAT, AUGUST 0, 11)03. FAVORS DIRECT PRIMARIES Douglas County Eopublican fantril Com mitte Adopt! New fiulei. JEFFERIS EXPLAINS HIS PLAN OF CONTROL Irian for Adoption of Fropoaed Hales tod First Vo la la Favor of th Direct Somian. linns. The republican primaries and couflty convention thin fall will be held under the rule known an the Jtffferla rulea, being a combination of the Crawford county and ether "direct primary" ayatema. The primaries will be held October 6 and the county convention October 10. L'ndnr the new rulea the country pre clncta will retain their present repreaenta tlon in the county convention, being five from each precinct, or seventy delegates In all from the country. So far as figured out, the representation In the nine Omaha wards will be Increased from ninety to la, an Increase of 136, and the representa tion from the six South Omaha wards will be changed from eighteen to thirty-five, an Increase of . seventeen, giving the conven tion a membership of 131 delegates, of which 16 would be neceesary to a choice. Slow Coning Toaetber. Chairman Oobh was the only member of the iJouRlas county republican central com mittee at WaKhlngton hall at 1 yesterday afternoon, the hour set for the meet ing of the committee. Fifteen minutes later members began to drift In, but at 1:30 o'clock, when the roll was called, only twenty-nine of the sixty-one members re sponded. It was explained that some thought .the hour for the meeting was 2 o'clock. A motion by Charles Unltt for a recess until 1 o'clock waa not put, though the chairman declared a quorum present. Including proxies, thirty-five to forty were represented. It was decided that no rote be taken .until an unquestioned quorum was present. ' Attorney Jefferls was called for to ex plain the proposed new rules. He told of the republican party having been torn Into factions for a number of years and the consequent defeat of a number of repub lican candidates. AH republicans, he de clared, were In favor of doing something more than nominating candidates. The party had been losing strength; In the court house there were now only two rep resentatives of the party. Coaveatloa of a Factloa. It had reached a point, Attorney Jefferls continued, where a convention waa a con vention of a faction, either a machine or an suitl-machine convention, the labela at tached to the different factions. The pres ent system of primaries and making nom inations had no defenders, he declared, though it had a defense. The present sys tem of wards selecting favorite residents for different offices simply resulted In elect ing delegations for trading purposes. It was a question of which faction would have a majority In the convention. It happened. Attorney Jefferls aald, that he waa born In Cheater county, Fannsrl' van! a and bad taken an Interest In poll tics alnce he was 21 years old, as had his father and grandfather before him. It was their boast that they had never scratched a republican ticket, something which he eould not say. He explained bow In the old day candidates had traveled over Chester county and presented their candidacy to the voters aa a whole, and then they were voted for directly by name at the primaries. 'Explains Bnarabooe, It la stated by some, said Mr. Jefferls, that the new system would permit Mr. Rosewater to pick out a man for this office and another man for that office, and so solidify his machine and control all the nominations. , But while some might honestly think so they were mistaken, for no man and no machine oould control nominations under the proposed new system. Doing so would te Impossible for under It the people alone controlled" and they would noon so discover and exercise the control. The new system was In accordance with the plan of government of toe United States, which Is based on representation according to population. There would be no trading In conventions and no sore pots after conventions, for the expressed will of the people would simply be carried out by the delegates In the convention. . Hopes to F.ad Strife. : Attorney Jefferls disclaimed any personal ambition or Interest In the proposed new system, declaring his only Interest was to do away with the strife which haa torn the republican party In the past. A friend had declared that he was carrying out the plans of Ronewater,' but he wanted to say that he waa old enough to have some Ideas of hla own, and there were parts of the country, 'which Rosewater did not control, which had Ideas and carried them out He had not, he said, done any log rolling for -the new system and It was possible that it might not work well In this part of the country, but it should be carefully considered and If found right In principle It should be adopted. It a majority of the people were like cattle and wanted to be driven and controlled, then It would not work, but If they were men and had opin ions and Idess of their own, then It should be adopted. Mr. Jefferls before closing dwelt upon the provision that under the new system any man desiring to become a candidate for the nomination for any office could easily do so, no one being barred. Dut every such candidate must be before the people for twenty-five days previous to the con vention, and trades and combines' by which candidates had been foisted on the party at the" last moment In the past would be completely wiped out. The expense to candidates of the new system had been urged against It, but under existing con ditions It was an undesirable feature which could not be eliminated. T. W. Blackburn, who was present by virtue of holding W. E. Rhoadea' proxy, said there might be different views on the matter and If there was not a senti ment In favor of having direct primaries there wss no use wasting time discussing the matter. Therefore he moved, but not, he explained, as either an endorsement or a rejection of the Jefferls plan, that It was the sense of the committee that the re publican party of Douglas county should have direct primaries. The motion was carried by a viva voce vote of apparently three ayea to one no. Not Ready to Check Bolters. Fred Behm offered this resolution, which oa motion of T. W. Blackburn was im mediately laid on the table: Resolved: That' It Is the sense of this committee that no republican who sought a nomination in the recent republican con vention for this Judicial district can in good faith be a candidate against the nom inees of that convention. Charley Unltt moved that the dates for the primaries and convention be fixed for October t and 10 respectively, the repre sentation to be ten for each Omaha ward. three from each South Omaha ward, and Ave from each country ppecinct. The mat ter of a direct primary could be aettled later, ha declared, and demanded a roll call on R. Houghton's motion to postpone fixing the dates for the primaries and con vention until other business had been fin ished. The motion to postpone carried by a vote of 27 to 19, and the convention got down to the real business before it. Secretary Messlck moved the adoption of the Jefferls rules. John Tager of Valley said that he hsd the distinction of being the only oountry member of the committee who favored the adoption of the new rules. Personally he did not care so much about the change which would be made In the representation from the country precincts. but still did not think it advisable to cut them down too much. Therefore, in an amendment he moved that the new rules be adopted except In so far as they re lated to the representation from the coun try precincts, which should be allowed to remain at five delegates, as at present. . Blaekkara Has a Substitute.' T. W. Blackburn at this point sprung the only surprise of the meeting at least It seemed to be a surprise to a number of the, members. He offered a set of rulos as a substitute for the Jefferls rules, at the same time declaring that he waa In favor of both plans and also In favor of the Crawford county system, and the en tire wiping out of - all conventions. But unless the other parties adopted a similar system he did not believe in the repub Heart party throwing' away its right to correct errors or in convention properly balance Its ticket- in reference to localities and nationalities. Ia answer to a number of questions Mr. Blackburn stated that his plan, which was read by the secretary, did not compel con ventions to nominate the candidate recelv ing the largest number of votes at the pri jnarlea, but It could, to balance the ticket, nominate any one of the candidates. But I It did prohibit the grouping of delegatee and provided that anyone paying the re quired fee might be a candidate, also for the submission at the next primaries of the question of having direct primaries. Objections to the hales. Fred Behm said he had carefully read the Jefferls plan and It would not do for the Second ward. It was hard enough to get men at 13 to act as Judges and clerks; the number of men In some precincts of the ward who could read and write English, and were competent to serve, waa very limited, and it would be lmprTsalble to get enough of them to serve at 11.60. Of the two he favored the Blackburn plan. Hugh A. Myers declare himself iri favor of any system which would eliminate fac tionalism, but said he did not favor either of the plans proposed. The man who was well known, and especially the man who had a newspaper backing him, would have an unfair advantage. Either plan would keep good, but comparatively unknown. men out of politics. He favored Instead the Crawford county system as used in Lincoln. ' V. B. Walker declared that not one man In 1,000 would get a clear majority In Doug las county when there were four or five candidates before the primaries for a county office, and that the Blackburn plan removed the very thing sought, and would throw all nominations upon the conven tions. He advocated the adoption of the Jefferls rules, but leaving the country pre cincts and South Omaha as at present. Secretary Messlck In an official manner pronounced the Blackburn plan "no good." It did not "look right" to him, he declared, and would simply result fn the same old trading. He would prefer the present sys tem to such a change. Mr. Jefferls was called for again and re peated In part his first argument. Soma of the objections might be good, and the plan might not work In Douglas county. but It should be given a trial. It would not be a disadvantage to any good man. He opposed the Blackburn plan, as one which would cause and leave the same old "sore spots," but did not any special objection to allowing the country precincts to retain their present representation of five delegates each in the county conven tions. What Was Finally Adopted. Hugh A. Myers moved as a substitute that the committee adopt the rules govern ing the last primaries and that the matter of having direct primaries be submitted at the next primaries, the rules for such di rect primaries to be formulated by the county committee. On an objection being raised he changed his motion to provide for the submission of the Jefferls rules. . Two knockouts followed In rapid suc cession. Myers' motion waa knocked out by Blackburn's point of order, and Black burn's plan was knocked out by a strong no" vote. Yager's amendment, leaving the country precinct representation as at present, waa dopted by a 89 aye to 10 nay vote, and the Jefferls rules, aa published several days ago in The Bee, were adopted as a whole by a vote of 30 ayes to 18 nays. Behm of the Second ward was excused from voting after stating that he could not approve but did not wish to oppose the adoption of the new rules. The chair man was given authority to change the phraseology of the rules to comply with the change regarding the country pre cincts, and also to supply the omission in them of candidates for police judge and coronef. : ' WEL.

Conrtland aad Manawa la Friendly Rivalry for Popular Place of I Recreation. One sura sign of the popularity of a sum mer .resort Is the patronage it receives. Lake Manawa and Courtland Beach must be exceedingly popular, as they were the two resorts selected for a great many pic nics that have been held in the last three weeks. They have each averaged two picnics a day for a month back. This list does not Include family picnics, of which there are a doaen or fifteen dally, but large affairs given by lodges, Sunday schools or associations of various kinds. On Friday the De Long reform school held Its annual picnic, aa did the Royal Arcanum lodge of Council Bluffs, at Lake Manawa. The latter picnic was partici pated In by the lodge from Omaha and Council Bluffs. Yesterday the national convention of the Knights of Pythias went Into convention at Lake Manawa. Over 1C0 tents have been thus far required for the use of the delegates. The convention will last one week. Tuesday will be a red letter day for Courtland Beach, as oiv that day the order of Red Men will have their big plcnio. Members from Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs will participate. Among the many features planned for the day Is a balloon race. In which the par ticipants are selected from volunteers from the several lodges represented. The se lected ones will make the ascension and the parachute drop. A great many big picnics will be held during the month. The big Labor Day picnic will be held, at Court land Beach. The natural advantages both resorts possess in the way of shady groves and velvety greensward . and unexcelled bathing beaches, make them the choice of every one. v . At Courtland Beach the famous Blckett family aucceed the lire diver, Nortn. This family consists of five people husband and wife and three young daughters. At the top of a thirty-foot rigging the two adults hang suspended by their limbs and throw the children between them like so many rubber balls. The youngsters turn doubles and twisters while In the air. Their work Is said to be really astonishing. Of course the bathing beach, with Its clear crystal water, and the boats remain a very strong feature. The Ferris wheel, the merry-go-rounds and the switchback are always at tractions for the little ones. Dobson's mil itary band haa been engaged for the plaaa. while Prof. Nordln's orchestra will be heard In the pavilion. At Lake Manawa the Floyd Brlggs com pany will be succeeded tonight by the Don C. Hall stock company. The new company Is said to be one of the strongest summer repertoire companies out this summer. All Its members are members of some big east em companies, who are taking this means of spending the summer under salary The opening bill will be "Rudolph the Cripple."
