Kew Candidate Are Appearing; oa

. Coanty OOeti as Time
Prtf rftici,
As interest in local politics is picking up,
the politicians are becoming- more inquisitive
as to the requirements of the new primary
law under which nominations are expected
to be made this fall. So far as the pros
pective candidates are concerned, what
they moat want to know is, how much
time the have to go through the preliminary
forms.
The new primary law fixes the date of the
piracy on the Tuesday, seven Weeks pre
ceding election, which, this year, is Tues
day, September if.
The law furthermore provides that the
county clerk shall give publlo notice of the
coming primary and of the offices to be
filled at the election sixty days previous to
the primary, which this year will be July
to.
After the county clerk's proclamation
Shall have been Issued the candidates
still have thirty days in which to (lie their
declarations of purpose and pay the filing
fees which makes the limit this year Aug
ust 1.
After once the candidate has filed his
application to go on the official ballot
there Is no way of withdrawing, aa It is a
criminal offence either to become a candi
date at thi primaries or to withdraw a
candidacy for a consideration of any
money or valuable thing, and the consider
ation would have to be pretty big to tempt
anyone to risk the penalty of fine and Im-
prlsonmnet.

hold good in another question, and a ques
tion which is likely soon to be precipitated.
The new iaw purports to prescribe the only
method by which a political party can put
its candidates in nomination, entitling
them to go on the official ballot for the
regular election. The socialists of this
county, In disregard of the law, have
Issued a call for a county convention to
meet August 1, next, to nominate a county
ticket to represent their party. Should
the certificates of nomination be pre
sented to the county clerk and be rejected
by him, the issue then will be squarely
made for a test of the constitutionality of
the law.
Many new candidates are being groomed
for the different county offices in addition
to those already mentioned In The Bee. It
Is pretty well settled that John McDonald,
who was sheriff for two terms previous to
the advent of Sheriff Power, again will be
a candidate, with special backing of the
Fontanelle club. The loss of the Fonta
nels support, too, Is said to have snuffed
out the ambitions of Jim Allan to run
gam In vindication of his defeat last time.
Chief of Police Brlgga of South Omaha also
would like to be the republican nominee
for sheriff, and If he comes out will have
tne South Omaha contingent behind him.
George E. Roberts, employed In the city
engineer's office, expects to contest with
County Surveyor Edqulst for the place now
held by the latter, and for coroner there
probably will be three entries: Coroner
Bralley, William McKay and George
Brewer of South Omaha. The appointment
of H. P. Stoddard to a place with the
supreme court has taken him out of the
list for county Judge.
Conferences heldby the remnant of the
Fontanelle club locate that It will un
dertake to put up a complete slate for all
offices to be voted on at the republican
primaries.
Supreme Judgeship Possibilities.
In state politics less interest has been
developed. Judge E. R. Duffle, now a
supreme court commissioner, has expressed
a desire to have the Douglas county dele
gation to the republican state convention
and former Judge Dickinson is considering
making the same request. There has been
talk, too, of giving the delegation to either
Judge Redlck or Judge Day Judge Redlck
is reported as saying that he would not
entertain the Idea, but some of Judge
Day's friends are encouraged that he will
become a candidate and insist that If he
does he will be a formidable entry In the
race. Douglas county will have 12S dele
gates in the convention and the other
counties making this judicial district
would run the number up over 160.

LINCOLN, July 11. Special.) County
assessors In those counties whose valua
tion was increased by the State Board of
Equalization last year will be compelled to
return to the state board this year their
real estate at the valuation fixed by the
state board last year. That is they must
take their own figures of last year and
add the Increase made by the state board
for the real estate valuation of this year.
Some counties have not done this, but
the secretary of the board will do it for
them.
Tho taking of assessors' figures on real
estate for last year Instead of the figures
of the board makes quite a difference in
the total assessment. In Johnson county
the difference is $113,117.70, while in Ne
maha county the difference Is $118,929.66,
which amounts the secretary of the board
will add to the valuation of the two coun
lUa, Plaa to Light State Honse.
The State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings met this morning and discussed
whether to put In a gas plant at the state
house or run wires from the penitentiary
and light the building with electricity.
With the esglnes and dynamos this could
easily be done, said a member of the board,
and at little cost, as the wiring has al
ready been done as far In as the Home
for the Friendless. The board reached no
conclusion, however, but will investigate
further before doing anything.
Endorse One Voting; Machine.
The commission aonninted tn mm on
voting machines sent its first report of Its
two hours arduous labors several days
ago to Secretary of State Galusha. The
board, following the provisions of the law,
said It carefully examined the machine
made by the United States Standard Vot
ing Machine company and that It came up
to the requirements of the law. Other ma
chines, however, are not barred, as' the
board will pass upon any and all whose
owners dig up $450 to pay the expenses
of the commission. Hereafter the board
will do its examining In Omaha and thus
save the expense of the trip to Lincoln.
Plane for I'slrerillr RnlMl...
Director Fee of the university buildings
and grounds and Prof. Chowlns are busy
laying plans for a number of new buildings
that are to be erected by the university
within a short time. ' It Is expected that
work will start this summer on the new
$50,000 museum building, to be located Just
north of the gymnasium on the campus and
also on the women's building at the state
farrrv Plans are now being drawn for these
structures. Two barns will also be built at
the farm this summer, one for hay and the
other to accommodate the high class swine
the state Is raising. Plans are completed
for a residence for the Instructor at the
new sub-station at North Platte and also
for two houses at the state farm, which
will be utilized to accommodate assistants.
Work Is progressing slowly on the new
administration building, the foundation and
part of the first story being finished at this
time. The men are also busy on the new
physics building on the campus and It Is
expected that this structure will be ready
for occupancy by the opening of the uni
versity next fall.

The result of this work in cities now organized is shown to be as foliows:
When first proposed some merchants hesitate, fearing the punishment of boycott
by the labor trust; thus showing the condition of servility and abject fear Into
which they have been forced, but when they discover that the great mass of cltl
ee ns, the 78(1 out of the hoo, are organizing and taking to themsi Ives the reins of
power, they see safety from any impotent effort at lioycott by the 3 out of the
80. Again, when all merchants are" members of the Association the "unions"
have no one to boycott In some cases one or two merchants have been unable to
overcome the old dread of their supposed masters, the lutior trust, and have refused
to Join with the citizens. They quickly And themselves looked upon as traitors
and enemies to the city; thus incurring the oien or silent contempt of the great
majority, the 7ND out of the and by natural causes, without a boycott, their
trade dwindles to the meager and very uncertain support of the small number of
union men who refused to Join with the citizens.
Great numbers of the best class of artisans and workmen In union ranks,
while recognizing the need of organization of workmen, deeply deplore the condi

There will be cases where a labor union will not be upheld by the citizens'
committee and will refuse to accept the decision. No compulsion whatever will
be used to force the members of that union to sell their labor lower than they
think It worth; upon receipt of the adverse decision they can quit work and sell
their labor elsewhere, leaving the manufacturer to the necessity of buying labor
where he can. But no Interference whatever will be permitted either with tho

Be It remembered that this National Association with its allied branches is
not conducted In the interest of manufacturers, merchants or lalnir unions but
solely ln the Interest of the common people. Its President, C. W. Post; Secre
tary, J. A. Emery, and Treasurer, A. C. Itosencranz, with a large executive com
mittee, are men with national reputations for fearless and unpurchasable In
tegrity. The officers of each local branch are selected by the jieople from the

act as a temporary committee to issue a call through the newspapers for a nubile
meeting to organize a Citizens' Association.
It is not to be a lubor union meeting or an employers' meeting, but the mem
bers of each are earnestly requested to join with other citizens in the movement
for industrial peace with honor.
When organized and officers elected, let the Secretary report to the National
Association, which will supply constitution and by-laws and detailed instructions
for procedure aud how to meet conditions.
Cities that have suffered from strikes will easily understand the pressing need

The menace is widespread, is very it Is at our doors and may be expected
to break upon any unprotected community with scant notice. The union leaders
are pressing hard and working all means to Increase the membership in some
notable cases the Initiation fee of $10 has been reduced to $.'. This activity
would be commendable under right conditions, but under the present leaders and
their well known methods It points plainly to centralizing more power In
their hsnis for sellish purtmses to use union men as tools, as they have ln the
past and do now. It Is absolutely certain that Increased jiower under such lead-ei-s
