LINCOLN PRIMARY QUIET
Democrats Have Only One Candidate
for Each Place on Ticket.
PLAN TO VOTE AS REPUBLICANS
State Board ef Assessment Will Make
aa Effort Today to Decide
tha Doaarlas Can at y
Valuation.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. U. (Special. )-Tht con
test for county nominations, which closes
here Tuesday, has been rather tame, there
being little going on to excite tne voters.
True to tbeir nonpartisan bumcombe, the
democrats have no contests over oounty
nominations, the leaders limiting the can
didates to one to each office, so that dem
ocrats who may desire can vote In the re
publican primary and help nominate the re
publican candidatea.
Lancaster county should cast an enorm
ously large vote next Tuesday. During the
time the present open Work primary law
was being considered In the legislature Its
champlona Insisted that It would tend to
Increase tha vote at the primary becau i
a large independent clans would vote under
the law because it would not be necessary
to say what party the voter affiliated with.
In other words, champions of the bill ir
slsted that a great lot of the voters of Ne
braska are too good to associate wltn the
republican party, the democratic party, the
populists, socialists or the prohibition
ists. These same people, champions of the
bill said, would vote if given an opportun
ity to do so without taking a stand with
any one party. And so the bill was passed.
As one of the Lincoln papers endorses the
open primary as being the proper tiling, a
big vote Is looked for In this county vhen
that Independent class gets busy noxi Tues
day.
It Is expected, however, that many votes
will be thrown out by reasjn of mIMaltea.
Under the law the voter must make all of
his marks on one ballot, under one heading
If he votes for one candidate on the re
publican ticket and one candidate on the
democratic ticket the ballot Is thrown out
He can only vote for candidates un one
party ticket.
Canvass by Mall.
In some instances candidates for supreme
Judge have made their fight from Lincoln,
and from the Immense amount of literature
being sent out the postal receipts should
Jump up materially this month. Judge Kaw-
cett has been out In person looking after
the Voters, while Judge Barn . has re
mained In his office and truved to the mull
and his friends. Judge Sedgwick has been
In Lincoln only once since the campaign
started, while Francis O. Hamer haa head
quarters at the Lindell hotel end ha a
force of people at work ending o'lt liter
ature and personal letters. James EL Cob-
bey of nealrlce has octn here frequently,
but John O. Telser has stayed away, except
short visit on the occasion of the state
convention, as has Judge E. Ft. Duffle of
Omaha. i
Vote on Doaarlaa Levy.
The State Board of Equalisation proba
bly will meet tomorrow and decide the
Douglas oounty valuation. Four members
of the beard are In Lincoln, so It is pos
sible a tie vote may result, and In that
case nothing can be done until Governor
Shallenberger gets back to tne atate house.
Land Commissioner Cowlea is In favor of
Increasing bank stock, but not In favor of
Increasing merchandise. Secretary of State
Junkln favors Increasing both bank stock
and merchandise, or neither. Auditor
Barton and Treasurer Brian were not here
during the discussion of the Douglas val
uation, so neither was In a position yes
terday to say Just how he will vote. It Is
probable, however, that some kind of an
agreement will be reached because the
Douglas county levy Is being held up pend
ing the decision.
Stat House Wedding,
Attorney Oenerai and Mrs. W. T. Thomp
son have Issued Invitations to the wedding
of their daughter, Miss Vivian Thompson,
to Mr. Donald Price of Lincoln. Mr. Price
Is the assistant In the office of the state
engineer.
Estimates on Lands Vary.
Engineer Hurd, who has charge of the
work of finding the physical valuation of
railroads, haa sent out carda to prominent
or well posted cltlsens In the various towns
asking the value of real estate adjacent
to the railroad right-of-way. The answers
show a great difference of opinion. From
one smalt town, one party said land next
to the right-of-way of the railroads was
worth per acre for the best, $125. and 30
for the poorer. Another party who should
be equally as well posted, said the same
land was worth $$0 for the best and 176
for the worst.

of the doubtful promise there is assured
total yield of over 700,000,000 bushels, with
such world requirements as to Insure
highly profitable prices. Even the Im
paired cotton crop was believed to be ma
terially bettered by the rains In Texas
regions.
Another field of marked brightening of
conditions was In the copper industry. The
fact of most Influences In this brightening
was tha monthly report of the Copper Pro
ducers' association. The heavy decrease
of S2.000.000 pounds In the surplus stocks
of refined copper during July were a
striking exhibit In Itself, but the feature
of most influence In Improving copper
trade sentiment was the Increase in the
deliveries of domestic orders. The brilliant
trade conditions in the steel industry suf
fer no Impairment and strongly fortify
the whole speculative fabric.

IN DIANA POLI8. Jnd., Aug. 15 Automo
bile enthusiasts thronged the motor speed
way today to watch drivers of racing cars
trying out the, course In preparation for
the races to be held here on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week, dedl
rating the most completely equipped auto
mobile track In the country.
The crowd, sweltering ' under a burning
sun, sent up a mighty Cheer when Zlengai
sent a Chadwlck around the great white
stone course, two and one-half miles, In
2:02, an average of 73.74 miles an hour.
Zlengai was only one of a score of driv
ers of national reputation who took ad
vantage of the opportunity to open the
throttle In the first trial flights.
John Altken, at the wheel of a National
Six registered the second . best time of
the day, 2:06. Barney Oldfleld guided an
other National Six around the circuit In
2:16, while Herbert Lytle drove an Apper
son In !;2H-
Walter Christie made his first appearance
on the track and leaped past the grand
stand In the freakish car of his own crea
tion, known as the Christie VII, at ninety
miles an hour, but did not attempt to
maintain that startling speed for the en
tire distance. Marlon, Knox and Marmon
cars all turned the course In time slightly
better than a mile a minute.
The manner In which -the skilful drivers
swept around the wide banked turns was
evidence that the construction engineers
have achieved success.
Sixty-five cars already have been entered
for the races, and more cars are expected
to enter before the list is finally closed
next Wednesday. Purses worth approxi
mately tlfi.OOO have been offered.
Nothing has bee noverlooked In the build
ing of the speedway tiiat would tend to
the convenience of the public and the
contestants. Each entrant has been pro
vldt-d with a separate garage and pit for
each car has been Installed at tne track
side.
The speedway lias its own hospital and
ambulanoe service and club houses and res
taurant,. Opposite the main grandstand
a great Indicator has bei-n erected. This
will show the time being made by the
drivers. Near this Indicator is a three
story press stand provided with telegraph
equipment and photographers' dark room.
In connection with the races there will
be held an important meetlhg of the gen
eral rules committee of the Manufacturers'
Contest association. Among tne matters
to be considered are recommendations as
to classification and weights for 1310;
chunges to be recommended to the con
teat board of the American Automobile
associations; the possibility of the support
by the manufacturers' contest associations
of a technical committee for competitive
contests and the arrangement of a definite
schedule of racing events of 1910.

Past Recognition
A. 6. Buchanan, Now of Seattle,
Boosts for Both Old and New
Homes.
A. G. Buchanan, a former cltlsen of
Omaha and now a leading merchant of
Seattle, visited friends in this city, a short
time Sunday, lit waa on his way east and
stripped off rl the Rome hotel.
Mr. DuchAnan lived in Omaha from 1881
to 1S94 and waa manager for N. li. Fal
coner, a dry goods merchant here at that
time. After leaving Omaha he went to
Denver and later to Seattle. He is presi
dent of the dry goods firm of Garvey &
Buchanan of Seattle.
Mr. Buchanan Bald Omaha has grown
remarkably since he lived here and he
hardly knew It when he saw It yecurday.
"Omaha has surely become a great city,"
said Mr. Buchanan. "I haa neard a great
dfal about the growth from people who
have gone west, but I never imagined it
was such a big place as it Is now. I be
lieve Omaha now Is one of the greatest
cities of the middle west.
"While I am talking about Omaha, I
must not forget Seattle. That place has
grown just as rapidly as Omaha and, in
my opinion, la the coming big city of the
coast.
"The exposition at Seattle this summer
is a big success and is drawing great
crowds from the east. It Is one of the
best little expositions I have ever seen."
STUDY GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
Three Million Attend Consumption
Anxious to I. earn Al6at
' Tnberenlosls.
Evidence of the popular Interest in the
anti-consumption crusade Is given in a
statement made today by the National
Association for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis, to the effect that duilng
the year ending August 31, nearly 3,000,WO
people have attended tuberculosis exhibi
tions in various parts of the country.
Besides the three traveling tuberculosis
exhibitions of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis,
there are twenty-eight exhibits of this kind
la various parts of the country. Four years
ago there were only three such displays In
the entire country.
Over 300,000 people have attended the
traveling exhibits of the National Associa
tion fur the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, which have visited ten dif
ferent states and territories during the year
Just closed. The three exhibits are now
stored for the summer months.
The southern exhibit has been shown In
Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and Georsla
in ten different cities and has been viewed
by about 100,000 people. Thousands of others
have been reached by the literature and
posters distributed, so that the number of
people who have been educated directly or
Indirectly about tuberculosis by this exhibit
is considerably over 300.0CO.
The western exhibit of the National Asso
ciation for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis has worked during the last
year mainly in Kansas, Nebraska and
northern Missouri. In all, fifteen cities
have been reached and over 110,000 persons
have visited the exhibit. ,
In Porto Rico, the Spanish exhibit of the
National Association for the Study and Pre
vention of Tuberculosis, the first of its kiul,
has met with decided success. Twenty-two
cities, Including about one-third of all the
towns In the island, were visited and over
100,000 people viewed the exhibit. The poor
transit facilities In the island made It
necessary to haul the exhibit from place to
place on ox-carta, like a traveling country
circus.
As a direct result of these exhibition cam
paigns, laws relating to the anti-tubercu
losis campaign have been passed In Tennes
see, Florida, Nebraska, Kansas and l'ouo
Rico. In the latter territory a comprehen
sive governmental campaign against tuber
culosis has been started. Owing to the fact
that over SO per cent of -the natives of
Porto Rico are illiterate, the problems there!
are very difficult. Another result of the
work has been that nearly l.OOO.OuO people
have received Instruction about the dangers
of tuberculosis, and the ways to prevent It
