In addition to dispensing with the ollice of county highway commissioner, the county board of supervisors continued their campaign to scale down the expense of county government by cutting the salaries of the various clerks and janitor at the courthouse and instituting a new scale of prices for road work. The chief ctsrk in the office of the county treasurer was cut from $150 to $140 ner month. Clerks in the offices of county superintendent, county attor ney and clerk ot the district court will now receive $82.50 instead of $90, while the monthly sypend ot me courthouse janitor will be $102.50 instead of $110. In the road work denartmcnt a 10-foot draz was re duced from $1 to 80c per hour; eight foot drag from 75c to 65c per hour; less than eight-toot drag 50c an hour. Road overseer will get 35c an hour 'instead of 40c, w hile the men engaged in road work' are ,cut from 30c to 25c an hour. The salary of the clerk in the county judge's of fice, which was recommended lor ad vancement to $100, was retained at $90, being the only one of the vari ous clerks not 'reduced. -The board expects, to turn its attention to a! dcoartments of county rrovernmcnt and has set a goal of $31,000 reduc tion in its estimate of expense for he coming year. ...

Ask Direct Primary for President of U. S. (Continued from Pare One.) United States. The only voice mat the voter has in the entire transac tion, is to register a choice between the nominees of the different po litical conventions. It is common knowledge that the people have very little if anything to' say in regard to the nomination of presidential candidates by politi cal parties. Nominations for presi dent are in fact made as everybody knows, by a few socalled leaders. who, through various and devious wavs known only to the politicians. control and handle the misled and wornout party convention delegate in accordance with the wishes and the decrees of political bosses. On election day the people find .that the voter, has nothing left to decide ex cept to cljoose between two evils and there is no way by which he can properly protest against such ar bitrary control of nominations, tit is as helpless on election day as though he were entirely ., disfran chised." ' In every state,, some provision is made by which an andepedent can didate for office can have his name placed on the official ballot. Such provisions of law are not accidental they are fundamental, senator Norris pointed out. TheV are a necessary partN of every plan ot election machinery where the citi ' zen is given the freedom of votmp as he pleases. No such provisions, however, can apply to president and vice president so long as the elector al college is part of our constitution. . Could Name Independents. "If the electorial ' college' were abolished, then independent candi- dates for president could have their : names placed upon the official ballots 1 of the various states by complying I with the method provided by state statutes, the senator contended. The abolishment of the electoral col lege would make it not onlv possible but practical for the people to dis regard party entirely and elect inde pendent candidates to the offices of president and vice president. In addition to this, such change would have the beneficial effect of restrain ing "political leaders and machines from imposing upon the party and the oeople. unworthy candidates for office. If the electoral college were abolished! an independent candidate tor president would be not only a possibility, but a probability when ever the conventions of the gre"at political parties were manipulated and controlled by unfair means. Must Take Both. Under present conditions, it is an impossibility for anv voter to vote for a candidate for president on one ticket, and a candidate for vice-presi dent on another ticket. Neither! can he vote for president without at the same time voting for vice presi dent If the voter is in favor of the candidate for president on one ticket and the candidate for vice president on a different ticket, it is a physical impossibility under existing condi tions for him -to register his choice, and yet ft must be admitted that in permitting the people to rule and to select -by their votes, their presi dent and vice president, it is neces sary that such choice should be free and untrammelled and the voter should be allowed to vote for any person, for either one of the officer! and have such votoe counted as cast. Such right is in fact, fundamental in a free country. "The effect of eliminating from the constitution of the Unitctd States, the ancient and useless electoral col lege would be to give the citizen a free and untrammelled right to vote for prsident and vice president It would place the office of president of the United States within th: hands of the people themselves, where it is now supposed to be, but as a matter of fact, on account of the electoral college, it is beyond the control of the people and is under the cntrol of manipulated conventions." Youths Confess to Robbery, Auto ; Theft and Holdup Trio Caught After StMup Admit They ComiuiUeJ Series of Johs in ' f Omaha.
