(From Suit Corespondent.)
LINCOLN.! Oct. l-ifpeclal.)-Judge
B. F. Good. -eVmocratle candidate for su
preme Judge, will no doubt have to ex
plain to hla political committee when the
democratic leaders discover the kind of
literature, that he or some one of hla
friends la sending out In his behalf. The
literature which Is twin circulated at
tempts to build so Judge Good at the ex
pente of his colleagues- on the democratic
ticket.
It Is more evidence of the split In the
democratic partjn
On a printed sheet, which Is being cir
culated in the Interest of Judge Good,
there are sixteen editorials and clipping
from newspapers. All of these clippings
and home-made editorials speak well of
the Wahoo candidate and two have scant
mention of Judge Sullivan and one
mentions Judge Dean. These two were
printed evidently on the circular because
tliey boost Judge Qood Just a little more
than the other two candidates.
As an example of how Judge Good feels
toward Judge Sullivan, the judge who re
signed from the bench after serving one
day, after having been appointed by Gov
ernor Sheldon. Is the following Item at the
head of the circular credited to no paper:
Judge Good Is the ablest democratic
Juiiet and their beat man for the supreme
bench. We regard, him as preferable to
Judge Sullivan."
Who the ,we" refers to It Is Impossible
to tell by the circular, for no credit Is given
the Item, leaving the read to Infer that
Judge Good himself Is authority for the
statement that he Is "preferable to Judge
HulllvsV.'
Kvsi Indication pointed to the double
cross of Judgs Dean by both Sullivan and
Good, but the circulation of literature solely
In the interest of Judge Good Is the first
evidence to come to hand that Judge Good
had concluded to hustle for himself and
pay no attention to either Sullivan or Dean.

Seventy-three of tha ninety eounty clerks
In Nebraska responded to The Bee's re
quest for detailed Inforttatton as to the
cost of holding the late primary for the
nomination of county and state officers. The
tabulation Is not, pet haps, as exact as it
should te, owing to the fact that some of
the county clerks were unable to furnish
all the Information called for. The failure
of seventeen counties to maks any report
whatever also prevents any finality of
conclusion as to cost, but the table shows
enough to Interest students. The first
thing that will impress the reader is that
the vote cast was comparatively light. This
fact brings the Item of unit cost up. for
the same machinery of tha law had to be
set Into operation as would have been re
quired If all the voters had turned out Bal
lots, poll books. Judges and clerks, polling
places, pens. Ink, stationery, and every,
thing that enters Into the coat of the elec
tion was tha same as If the entire 178.000
voters of Nebraska had participated In
the election Instead of one-third of that
number, and made the cost per vote cast
77 cents.
The greatest single Item In the expense
Is that for the pay of election officers.
This figure varies widely among tha coun
ties, but It totals up for the state about
five-elevenths of the entire amount ex
pended on the primary- Printing of bal
lots eomes next In the bill and calls for
about one-fifth of the total. In this col
umn It will be noticed that Douglas county
Is set down for a figure that seems ex
cessive In comparison with the others.
Douglas Is asked , to pay $3,880 for. ballots
used at ' primary election where only
$.38$ votea were cost. But the county clerk
had to make preparation for the possibility
of 80,000 votes being recorded, and sample.
as wen as official ballot, had to be pro
vioeo. tm oougios county ballot, also.
was perhaps the biggest of any used In the
state. Delivery and collection of poll
books, cost of poll books and supplies.
ana rent tor polling places are the
other Items. In many of the coun
ties these expenditures were not separated
as suggested for the purpoee of tabulation.
but are lumped with other items. The
table Is complete enough, however, to give
a very clear outline as to what expense to
the taxpayer la Involved In the matter of
holding a primary election. '
Spealman, president of the Gage county
Women's Christian Temperance union,
swore out the search warrant and tha offi
cers found three cases of beer and fifty-
two pint bottles of whisky, which they con
fiscated. Troyer will be given a hearing
tomorrow.
