Stato Superintendent
Independent Takes a Hand.
The latest contribution to the symposium
on the declaration ot Jon O. Yelser ot
Omaha that Nebraska has no legal governor
comes from the recognized organ of the
populist party, the Nebraska Independent.
It admits that Mr. Yelser's reasoning Is
"lawycrllke," but It Is unable to see any
necessity for the election of a governor this
year. The Independent says:
John O. Yelser started out to have some
. wlln .,no redeemers and wrote un
urtlcle declaring that Nebraska had no
governor and that one must be elected this
fall. Somo of the brethren seemed to think
that John wob In earnest and have given a
good deal of space to the discussion of the
subject. Mr. Yelser made a lawyerlike
argument In favor of his proposition and
quoted section 107. chnpter xxvl. of the Ne
braska Statutes, which provides: "When a
vacancy occurs In any state. Judicial dls
trie, county, precinct, township or any
public elective offlco thirty days prior to
any general election It shall be filled
thereat."
Mr. Yetser'a citations are all correct, but,
lawycrllke, he stopped when he might have
mado a further citation that would have
put on entirely different look upon the af
fair. Section 16, article v, of the stato con
stitution, rends this way: "In the case of
tho death, Impeachment and notice thereof
to the accused, failure to quality, resigna
tion, absence from tho stato or other dis
ability of tho governor, the powers, duties
and emoluments of the office for the residue
of the term, or until the disability shall be
removed; shall devolve on the lieutenant
governor."
How anybody can work out a necessity
for the election of a governor this fall
under that section of the constitution is
somewhat puzzllnr.
