Norris, of Nebraska, ■who almost single-handed put through the amendment to the United States constitu tion, abolishing the "lame duck" session of Congress and changing the date of inaugu rating our Presidents, scored another vic tory in the elections held this month. The Senator sponsored an amendment to the constitution of Nebraska, which abol ishes the present legislature and sets up, in place of Senate and House, a single body of from thirty to fifty members, prefer ably non-partisan. The voters of the State adopted the idea at the polls and the pres ent legislature, including thirty-three Sena tors and one hundred Representatives, will divide the State into districts to set-up the new legislative body which will meet for the first time in 1937. One of the advantages of the American system of the state government, as point ed out by the Englishman, Lord Bryce, and other writers on government, is that a po litical experiment can be carried out in one state and its results noted by others, which can then follow the example or not as deem ed expedient. So the other states in the American Union will watch the Nebraska experiment with considerable interest. Contrary to sound advice the man who puts off doing things very often finds that he does not have to do them. It won't be long before the head of the liouse will have to take another walloping from Old Man Santa himself.

As a result of the recent election, with its vote of confidence in the administration, these leaders realize that there will be no immediate change in public policies and that, in order to prevent further objection able legislation, it is up to business to show that the country can recover without new changes and even without some of the emergency laws now on the books. This is encouraging. Everybody hopes that in some manner business will acquire that confidence for which it seeks and that financial, industrial and economic leaders of the nation will get together, pull together and put the United States on its feet again. In such a move lies the best prospect of pre venting radical demands in Congress and the possible threat of ill-advised relief measures. NO PLACE FOR THEM Those few Democratic Senators who claim superwisdom—just a few of them from our own Southland, even the Old Dominion and the Old North State furnishing one each— must feel a bit cheap, because the recent vote of the people has fully demonstrated that they are thinking for themselves and are no longer satisfied to trust these fel lows who are so wise and who are always so friendly to the arch-enemies of democ racy. We can hardly see any place for such fel lows. Their home folks refuse to trust them, and they will be worthless to the gang that seems to have given them their pi-ecious wisdom and inspiration. It must be a rather sad time for those fellows who have preached democracy and practiced hy pocrisy. Now is the time for democracy to rid it self of all its leaders who are trying to lead it in the wrong direction.

(N2 to N23-4w) CLARK'S COMMENT ITS A FAMILY STORY (Greensboro Daily News) While his remarks before the Institute of Government on North Carolina election laws and the ad ministration thereof, with special emphasis on the balloting of absentees, deserves commendation, one might think that the chair man of the state election board had not enjoyed an intimate ac quaintance with our election methods prior to his heading the election board, not-withstanding his campaign management in the last gubernatorial selection. Without undertaking to go into the history of North Carolina elections it may be said that most of the present day evils had their origin in the unrestricted negro vote put over by the federal gov ernment, with the corollary that it was an act of righteousness not only' but of self-preservation to defeat the purpose. With us that had a marked effect in making elections in large part the execu tion of methods of sharp prac tice. With that the desire to over come didn't pass when a contest was between whites in a conven tion and all these and more that have come out of new conditions are found in the primaries. So that it is the fault of the pri mary. It isn't the method but the folks. In the days of precinct meet ings and conventions Republicans were used on occasion by con tending Democratic factions, some times negro Republicans. Let it be said, as all and sundry know who will see, that all Republicans ap pearing in Democratic meetings are there by the insistence of Democrats. There would be no trouble in keeping them out if Democrats didn't so often try to beat Democrats with Republican votes. Major McLendon is disturb ed by the knowledge that 1,700 persons voted twice on the same day, once as Democrats and once as Republicans. Reference is of course to the vote in the famous judicial primary. The only reason the election board chairman hasn't seen that before is because Repub lican primaries are almost un known. In this case there were Re publican candidates to be voted for and neighbor Democrats and Republicans mutually agreed to exchange votes. The Democrats were of course responsible. Which brings up the chairman's declara Take a KELI.V Registered tire and compare it with the tires now on your car. Look at * KELLY's deep, wide, thick tread. Look at the cross section* of a KELLY and note how it is six times fortified against fatigue— against wear against blowouts.

They don't if they have oc casion to ignore the laws and rules, as they frequently do in a heated contest. Why should they? They have been educated that way, no effort has been made to educate them away from such practices, and nothing is done to them for violating the laws. Un der the conditions they feel that they are more at liberty to cheat their own folks than they are to cheat Republicans in the general election, or at least it is les3 dan gerous. The Democrat who is cheated by his own folks has to submit. If he creates a distur bance he loses party standing. It has been the custom, at least in counties where political ma chines are active and dominant— and they are in the most—to see to it that the election board is made up of persons who will be agreeable to the dominant faction and they appoint registrars and judges acordingly, as well as man age the handling of the absentee ballots. They retain big precincts for political reasons.

C. possibility of heated contests the lhachinery is arranged to take care of the control. Refusal to di vide large election precincts and to order new registrations is bas ed on cost. The politicians become more concerned about spending the taxpayers' money if it is for something that may interfere with their business, such as manipulat ing at crowded polling places and voting the names of the dead on the registration book. The whole rotten business is fa miliar but Democrats who have political ambition don't talk about it, might queer their chances. If political leaders like Major Mc- Lendon would devote their efforts to educating the people away from such business, if in all cases elec tion officials were named who would have concern only for a free and fair election at all haz ards, and if the law was enforced I COAL!
