HOWELL FACES THREE JUDGES
Waterlogged Statesman Allowed to Go on
Ballot by Petition.
NOT TO BE DESIGNATED AS REPUBLICAN
. T. Klopp Waives Preliminary
Examination and Appeals
Trumprrt-l p tnne to the
' ' District' Court.
Judge Day will give hie decision this aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock In -the matter of the
"application of K. B. Howell to have the
court arrange the." order bf the official bal
lot The arguments took until 6 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
City Clerk Elbourn stays with his ruling
that Howell may g1 on tlir ticket an a le
tltlon, but not a reimbllcnn candidate, and
then the scene shift to the district court,
where Judge Day Is hearing the argument
on the arrangement of the ballot. And
down In the county court Howell's other
plot was exploited, before Judge Vinson,
huler, that Is the trumped up charge against
A. T. Klopp, president of the Xlopp &
Bart let t company, who printed the official
ballots, to the effect that Mr. Klopp wa
responsible for some disarrangement In the
order of the names on tho ballot. Mr,
Klopp waived preliminary examination, ap
pealed to the district court and gave bonds
of $5uO, his case to come up any lnie dur
ing this term of court. Howell Nvas re
quired to deposit 125 for costs. The hearing
before Judge Pay is still In progress.
Elbourn Overrule Remonstrance.
City Cleric El bourn virtually overruled
the remonstrance . r gainst the appearance
of R. B. Howell's name on the official bal
lot u ar. Independent candidate for the
Water boa'd by petltimi. Tuesday by
announcing he would adhero to his former
decision to permit Howell's name to ap
pear, but without thu designation "repub
lican." This was done after brief arguments had
been submitted by W. J. Connell in favor
of the remonstrance and by W. F. Gurley
end John P. Breen, attorneys' for Howell,
against it. Martin Langdon alo appeared
with the Howell party'.to the city hah, but
declared he woe a more spectator and rep-'
resented no one. Dr..,.A. H. Hippie, the
other dcmocratlo candidate, was not rep
resented, ,
Attorney Connell '. pointed out that tho
Howell-Gllbert law ruled out candidates of
every political faith except, democrat!) and
republicans and that a candidate must
have the brand of his purty's nomina
tion or he cannot contest for the office.
"The law does' not say that one member
of the board elected shall be a republican
and one a democrat, but that there shall
be one from 'each of the two political
parties,' M - said Mr. Connell. "A man
cannot put his party's brand upon himself
to serve thin purpose. He cannot be re
jected by his party and then desert the
party and eventually pretend to stand for
it. Aside from this, we claim that at
least eighty of the signatures on the peti
tion are technically faulty, and between
forty and fifty those of democrats."
Gurley and Breen contented themselves
with scoffing at Connell's arguments and
interpretations of the law. The action of
the city clerk was based partly on the
fact that the case Is already In court,
which relieves him from trying to solve
the legal questions Involve
Arrssirnt Before Judge Day.
The hearing on the petition of Howell
to ' have the district court arrange the
form of the official ballot for the Water
board candidates came up in Judge Day's
court. The greater part of the morning
was taken up in agreeing to a stipulation
which included the allegations of both
sldea. Then W. J. Connell, for City Clerk
Elbourn. began his argument. Mr. Con
nell said the f rumor of the law, Mr. How.
ell, had Intended the Water board should
be composed of men from the two leading
parties. The wording of the act gave the
populists no chance whatever of holding
a place In the Water board. The socialists,
who bad cast from 1.000 to 2,000 votes In the
: ctty, were barred and so were the prohi
bitionists. Mr. Connell said It might Occur
a socialist candidate could be put up by
a petition of 250 socialist signers. The
law allowed any man to run by petition. He
read the section of the charter relating to
a candidate by petition, pointing out that
the statute required in the ballot' after
the name of such a candidate the words

"By Petition." He said the water works
purchase act by providing one candidate
from each the democratic snd republican
parties should be elected, meant that can
didate must be the representative of the
party as a party. M. Howell could un
doubtedly run by petition, but he could not
ask for the word "republican" after his
name, because he did not represent the
party. Therefore his contention that he
should he allowed to put the name "repub
lican" aftei his name could not be al
lowed. Judge Day naked If Howell In his peti
tion had asked for the Insertion of the
word "republican" or for the cutting out
of the words "one republican and one
democrat?"
Mr. Gurley claimed Elbourn's decision
was unfair to Howell.
Wright Offers Ills Mite.
Mr. Breen cited various authorities to
support tho Howell position. City Attor
ney Wright was an Interested spectator
during the day and spoke In explanation of
tho opinion furnished by him to Mr. El
bourn. He held there were two distinct
offices the republican and the democratic;
and not considering any question of the
legality of the law, Hippie would be elected
If be received only 10 votes, while the re
publican receiving the most votes would
get the other. He differed from Mr. Breen
In thinking the word "republican" could
be Inserted ufter the words "by petition."
Th5 statute provided only for the latter
words. But the nam! of the candidate
should be put under the office for which he
ran.
Mr. Connell in his final argument said
the city clerk was not responsible for the
Inconsistencies of the law these were due
to Mr. Howell. Personally, Mr. Connell,
so he said, considered the law one of the
worst for Oinuha ever enacted. He be
lieved time would show this. Mr. Connell
showed the Injustice of the idea Mr. Howell
should have a pla on the ballot becausa
he had been nominated by a petition of 250
voters democrats, socialists and what not.
If a socialist convention were to regularly
uppolht a socialist candidate he would have
to be Ignored, but according to the argu
ments of Mr. Howell's counsel. If 250 social
ists signed a petition for a socialist to be
commissioner It would have to be accepted.
He considered from the stand of the others
that a lot of renegade republicans could,
by a petition, nominate a democratic candi
date and have him entered as a democrat.
This would be a fraud on the public. H
considered the whole thing was a coon trap
for Hippie to catch him coming and go
ing. It was not fair to Weller, the regular
nominee of . the republican party, to let
Howell's name be entered as a republican.
The trouble was not with the form proposed
by Mr. Elbourn, but with the law. Mr.
Howell had been hoisted on his own petard.
Mr. Connell contended the form of bal
lot drawn up by City Clerk Elbourn was
In exact accordance with the law the law
which Mr. Howell had himself drafted.
The form advocated by Messrs. Breen and
Gurley was not In the statutes and was
strictly against their provisions.

PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND ALL INVESTED
Treasurer Buys Saunders County
Bonds with Balance on Hand on
the Lset Pay of Oc
tober. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 1. (Special.) Candidate
Berge, who is seeking to break into the
state house on an anti-pass platform, reck
oned without his host when he told the
people of Omaha to a.k Assistant Attorney
General W. B. Hose whether or not he had
requested the attorney general to secure
transportation for him. Mr. Berge denied
emphatically that he did. From the office
of the attorney general a statement was
issued today that Mr. Berge did ask for
the transportation and the story of his re
quest was as follows:
A suit was brought in the court at
Chadron for possession of some land under
control of the State Board of Educational
Lands and Funds and the state, though not
directly Interested In the matter, was
made a party to the suit. Mr. Berge was
the attorney for the defendant in the case.
He and Attorney General Prout had a con
versation about the matter and Mr. Berge
was told by the attorney general that the
state had no Interest In the case and for
him to go ahead and handle his case as
be saw fit. A day or two later Mr. Berge
came to the officeof the attorney general
and asked Mr. Rose if the attorney general
could secure him transportation to Cha
dron. Mr. Prout was absent at the time
and the request was later referred to him
by Mr. Rose and turned down.
Mr. Rose and Mr. Prout both testified
that the story published In The Bee la cor
rect and both expressed surprise that Mr.
Berge should deny it.

mujoritv of the people uu nils way think
It is what is sometimes denominated a roor

such that It not only letleeis against the
governor, but it also call.-! In question tne
integrity of the Methodist Episcopal church
ot which the Governor is an accreultei
member. He has been an official memoer
at Osceola for a great many years, has
Deen one or tne cniet advisors oi tne pas

true, then the church and its pastors and
members have been harboring an extor
tioner, a stumbling block and an arrant
hypocrite and have been receiving thou
sands of his dollars and commtnding bim
to honorable positions and places of trust
In the church and In Its highest councils.
We would like to think that Brother 8av
idge had .been, grossly misled or that he
had hot fully considered the efteoi. bf such
an accusation againai on .who has been
nonorea in cnttrcn and state as has uov
ernor Mickey. Mr. Mickey can survive
being defeated for governor, but no one
can fully recover from a thrust of that
character. Personal abuse should have
no place In a political campaign at this
time of the Christian era. Brothers should
not be swift to tear down the reputation
of a brother. There are things that are
dearer to a man than being elected to an
office. No man will feel better for filch
ing from another his good name. The
sermon, after all, will not accomplish the
fiurpostt for which it was circulated, but
Ike the personal abuse agalhst the presi
dent and others before him. it will fail to
register success. REV. J. H. PRESSON.

Trouble Over Price of Gaa.
The gas company hss run amuck with
public sentiment once more, by violating
the agreement entered into some months
ago that it would cut the ra'e for gas to
$1.20 per 1,000 cubic feet.., The agreement
was to take effect October 1, and the bills
have begun to come around to gas users,
who find to their astonishment that they
will be required to pay the old rate of $1.60

tinlss they send In their money before the
flth of the month. The result has been
that populsr uprising among the several
thousand users of ges Is threatened, snd
citiiene ere already threatening to order
their meters out.
It Is ststed that the company Is bound
simply by an agreement. Councilman
Hoppe had Introduced a measure last
spring providing that the gas should he
sold at a flat rate of tn.10 per l.ono cubic
feet, and the sentiment of the general pub
lic seemed to be beck of the ordinance.
Finally the eompeny agreed to sell the gne
at $1.?0 on the condition that the ordinance
he tabfeTl, end that ectlon was taken hy
the council, but the measure still remains
where It can be resurrected and at the
council meeting held last night several
members stated that some such action
would be taken If the company persisted In
going hack on Its agreement.
Under the old plan of operation the price
of gas for those who did not pay promptly
was Irs than It will be under the arrange
ment which the gas Company Is seeking to
sdopt. Then there was a fixed reduction of
10 cents which was allowed to every pur
chaser, snd in addition another 10 per
cent reduction for cesh. making the price
of the gas after deducting discounts $1.26.
as compared with the rae of $1 20 made by
the gss company. The maximum rate at
no time exceeded $1.40 and was nearly as
low at the minimum.
Mickey Runs Well at Home.
One of the arguments being used by the
fustonlsts against Governor Mickey is that
he did not carry his own precinct in the
last election. In order that the record may
be kept straight and the people may know
the truth about the matter this statement
from the chairman of the republican
county committee of Polk county is pub
lished, together with the vote of Osceola
precinct, in which Governor Mickey re
sides. Governor Mickey's majority In his
home precinct was greater than that of
any other candidate on the ticket. The
statement follows:
There are parties traveling over the state
making the statement that Governor
Mickey did not carry his home precinct In
the election two years ego. As I was chair
man of the republican central committee
of Fqjk county at that time I think It my
duty to correct the above statement Mr.
Mickey carrcd his precinct by a malorltv of
65 votes, which was a larger mnfcirlty than
that received hy any other candidate on the
republican ticket. D. E. SMITH.

Politics ulet In Cumins;.
WEST POINT, Neb., Nov. l.-(SpeclaL)-The
polltlcal'sltuatlon In Cuming county
is very quiet. Leas Interest has been mani
fested in politics than In any presidential
year since the organization of the county.
Roosevelt and Fairbanks will run well In
this county, a large number of the mora
intelligent German democrats having ex
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
existing condition of affairs, realising; that
the present satisfactory condition of the
country is due to republican men and
methods, and are willing to let well enough
alone. In local politics nothing is being
done. The democrats having endorsed M.
McLaughlin, republican Incumbent, for a
second term as county attorney, assures
his election. The candidates for represen
tatives will each poll their party vote,
practically no canvass having been made
for either of them. For state senator for
Cuming and Burt, the same condition of
affairs exists. Graff, . the populist nom
inee, la doing nothing. It is conceded by
the fustonlsts that If be secures the usual
democratic majority aof Cuming county,
and even more, that the overwhelming re
publican vote of Burt will elect hie op

PROSPKROIS WESTER NEBRASKA
Irrigation nnd Darylns; Hnre Caused
a Chnnare In Conditions.
SUTHERLAND, Neb., Nov. 1. (Special.)
It is a fact that many easterners still la
bor under the Impression that the west
ern part of Nebraska is nothing but a
drouth-stricken desert. The reasons for
this misconception of the real state of af
fairs here were the dry years of the 90s.
But things have changed wonderfully since
the time when the first dry year was so
much felt by the western Nebraskan
Along the valleys where it was possible
to do so irrigation ditches were built and
sufficient moisture for the crops attained
in this way. This has been developed un
til land. that only a few years ago was
considered little better than worthless is
now of-good price. Take for Instance the
North and South Platte river yalleys; tho
growing of sugar beets Is making them
wealthy, while the eer present dairy cow
Is doing her share. From the sugar beet
lands the farmers are this year realizing
from $20 to $60 per acre. They receive $3
per ton for the beets delivered on the cars,
and they are growing from ten to twenty
tons of beets on an acre.
The dry years are only a memory now,
for great changes take place in a very
short time in a new country. Western
Nebraska has suffered much harm from
the erroneous suppositions current, in the
east for several years, and people have
kept away from it through a misunder
standing of the conditions as they really
are. But present indications augur well
for the future of the western part of the
state, and with a continuance of the pros
perity that Is being enjoyed at the present
time this section will soon be recognized
as one of the very richest localities In the
state.

made. A good many rods of walk which
were torn up by hoodlums were so smashed

ers, but if they bad not been broken up
would have been In good shape for an
other year or perhaps longer. Some walk
were destroyed that It would ba Impossi

want the council-to allow them - ta make
temporary repairs for the damages which'
they claim the city should have prevented,
and such action will probably be taken.
