braska, Illinois and Iowa associations
were represented in the conferences.

Governor May Not Fill
: : Vacancies in Legislature
(From a Staff Corespondent.)
Lincoln, March 14. (Special.)
The official song of the special session
of the legislature will be We shall
meet, but we shall miss him; there
will be a vacant chair," for it has been
searching the statutes that, vacancies
now appearing in the legislature can
not be filled by the executive, con
sequently those chairs will stand as
silent sentinels and reminder of those
who have "gone up higher" to other
political offices.
The stautes read that "if any va
cancy occurs during any session of
the legislature, the governor thai
fill the same by appointment."
If the vacancy occurs before a ses
ion is held a special election thai!
be called to fill the same.
It has been determined that mem
bers 1 who are holding government
positions which do not carry a salary
may continue as members of the
legislature.
