SAYS FEE IS FOR OFFICE ONLY
State Legal Department Gives Position
Upon Primary Suit.
Lincoln, July 23. Attornoy General
Thompson will reprosent Secretary of
State Junklu in the suit brought by
Victor Rosewater, Republican national
committeeman, to prevent placing the
names of candidates on moro than one
ballot when only one tiling fee bus
been paid.
The legal department will argue that
the fee charged .for -filing . refers only)
to the office and not to the ballots.
For Instance, the attorney general
says, the law Is that u candidate for
United States senator shall pay a fil
ing fee of $50. According to him It
makes no difference on how many bal
lots the candidate's name appears,
Just so he has paid the one $50.
In the office of the governor the
holding Is that tle county treasurer
has no right to ask what office the can
didate Intends to file for. If be ten
ders his $10 to file for governor It is
the duty of the treasurer to give him
a receipt for $10 and the ballot on
which he runs need not be designated.
Then the caidldate may present that
receipt to the secretary of state apd
have his name placed' oil as many bal
lots as he chooses.
Mr. Thompson does not expect to file
his answer until next Wednesday.

ALLIANCE!
HORSE
MARKET
I wish to call the attention of
hoisetncti to the conditions gov
erning tho sales which will bo
held at my new sale yards in
Alliance.
I have rcn.ydeled and rebuilt
Hie yards, mating them largo
enough to accommodate nearly
a thousand head of horses! each
yard is supplied with water, and
racks for hay.
For tho sales, the first of which
will bo held late in July, I iutend
to do thorough aud systematic
advertising. I will furnish an
experienced auctioneer .who is
himself a horseman and a judge
of value. I will supply the yards
nnd water; tho advertising; tho
auctioneer; such help as is need
ed on sale day; aud a clerk, who
will carefully attend to all settle
ments; at tho following rates:
$25.00 per car lot: $2.00 per head
if horses are sold singly or in
pairs. Hay and fe&l wilt be
furnished at the lowest possible
cost.
This will make it an easy mat
ter for horse growers in this sec
tion to find buyers, and at a cost
as low as at any sale market in
the state..
My wide acquaintance among
horsemen, of the state; the ex
cellent railroad facilities of Al
liance together with the number
of good horses raised iti this vi
cinity, should make the establish
ment of this barn a certainty aud
be of great benefit both to stock
growers aud townspeople' If
you have horses to sell, eee me
or write mo at once as it is my
I intention to put forth every hon
orable effort possible for the suc
cess of these sales and the first
sale will, without question, be a
m hummer aud a rare opportunity
for horse growers to fipd horse
consumers at home.
