They were not creatures of the law,
bound like Prometheus to tha rocks of cus

the best traditions of their profession to

politics was the chief field In which men

The building of a republic, so far as It
applied tn the form and administration
or law differed only In degree from the
long established and proven laws of Kng

was little theoretical variance. The true
test came In adapting, them to the rest

chaotic social conditions there prevalent.
In this work the essentials were more often
found In the heroics of an O'Connor or a
('hosts than In tha prefundity of a Wilson,
Marshall or Madison.

one time, hut v-ry trnbabty such condi

a man haa to pretend what p not true or

of the state will do this, but the rlfraff
will not do so. They will vote as they
are told. In any party's column. They have
no parly snd the special Interests can con

the honest voter at a disadvantage. In an
absolutely open primary the conservative,
Intelligent voters who think out their votes
will be able conscientiously to mark over as

dishonest voter who goes where he Is told."
To be nn Gronnd Late.
Mr. ijiiHckenbuph Is a democratic candi
date for speaker. He has been waging a
vlgojous campaign by letter, but Is not
willing to make ny predictions as to the
outcome, but In his refusal to discuss the
situation was an optimistic smile that In
dicated the candidate has high hopes of
winning. Mr. Quackenbush will be at a
disadvantage In the struggle for organiza
tion In that ho cannot be on the ground
early. He goes tonight to Kansas City to
try a lawsuit which cannot be postponed
and which will probably keep him busy un
til Saturday. Hence he will not reach Lin
coln before Saturday evening. This will
leave him but little time In which to prose
cute his campaign. Most of the members
will be on hand before ha doe and "medi
cine mixing" will be In full blast Torty
eight hour before th Nemaha county
candidate put In an appearance.
Mr. Quackenbush Is aware of this ltu
ation and does not like it. However, be ex
pect to well represented by adherent
In the contest. His opponent up to date
Is John Kuhl of Randolph. Mr. Quacken
bush has th backing of most of the dry
democrat and a few wet one, whllo
Kuhl main aupport will be drawn from
the wet membership. H did not car to
discuss tha organisation this morning, but
In answer to a direct question reiterated
a statement In which he ha formerly been
quoted to tha effect that he would not go
Into an Iron-clad democratic caucus, such
a ha customarily been held by the dom
inant party th day before the session
opened. '
Members-elect will be dropping in for th
first session within two or thre- days. No
caucuses have been called except the demo
cratic senatorial one for Monday after
noon. It la more than probable that a se
ries of conference will be held before th
final formal caucus is attempted.

The formation of a Nebraska county
