Much speculation is heing Indulged as to the probable number of votes that will be polled in the coming Nebraska primary, The returns from lowa, Minnesota, Illinols and Michigan, where primaries have already been held, indi ente n very small participation, but It is hardly falr to take them as pointers for Nebraska for the reason that in those states nothing but the contest for convention delegates has bheen in- velved, while here we are not only choosing delegat but also nominating « full set of state, legislative, judiclal and county tickets, FVurthermore, this ig the first time that the Ne- braska primary will have Included all the elective offices formerly divided with off-year cnmpalgns, but now consolldated through the adoption of blennial elections, Four years ago the total primary vote in Ne- hraska was approximately 126,000, of which 77,000 wun cast on the republican side and 47,000 on the democratic side. While much will depend on weather conditions, still, with the additional offices on the ticket, the total this year should not fall short of what it was four years ago, and it seems to us reasonable to expect a republican vote of between 75,000 and 50,000 and & democratic vote approximat- ing 60,000, Carranza Getting Bad Advice. Benor Carranza has been listening to some very bad advice, from a source as yet undis- closed, He glves evidence of this by asking Pis great and good friend at Washington to de- sist trom further efforts to overhaul Pancho Villa and to withdraw Awmerican troops, leaving the further pursuit of the bandit to the Mex|- in one of the most important positions for the general welfars of any political purty, and mould be f'lled by & man of wide acquaintance, business experience and thorough knowledge of his party's views and re auirements.

There have been times when the national ecommittesman from Na braska was a mers figurehesd-n man who really knew nothing about polities, business, or much ol anything slse—a man who was simply glven the po sitlon as tho result of some convention combinatio) or for the purposs of making up some slate-a ma9 who had & very limited acquaintance and whose In- flusnce amounted to nothing, and who was simply » pawn In the game.
