REPUBLICANS VERY MUCHLY WORRIED
Grave Doubts of the Legality of the Speciat:
Election July 18.
A special from Lincoln to t !) );nuiia :
World-IIeraM say: j
Grave doubts of the legality ir t!i
special election called for July 1 have ,
been expressed by attorneys, ami the
Lincoln republicans are worried ab ut
the matter.
The obliteration of the biennial law
has brought about a discussion t he
case. A meeting or the republican
congressional committee will doubt
less be called within a short time to
discussthe matter. It is claimed that
Governor Mickey exceeded his author
ity in issuing the proclamation. Several
attorneys have expressed divergent
views, and it has been stated that
two conventions miht have to be
called to renominate candidates.
Kichard L. Metcalfe, chairman of
the democratic congressional com
mittee, said:
"I notice that the Lincoln Star says
that Attorney General IJrown and
Governor Mickey carefully considered
all aspects of the case before the proc
lamation was issued, and they dec'are
that it is free from technical Haws.
"I take it for granted that Attor
ney General lirown would not plunge
the people into an expenditure of fl-V
ooo without being sure of his ground.
Mayor Hrown's friends are ready for
the contest on J uly If an error has
been made in issuing the procla
mation for a special election it is not
our error. If our friends have become
alarmed and prefer that the tight
take place later, the power is in their
hands. At all events, we will meet
them and do our best, whether it be
Julv is or in November."
funeral of S. P. Metz.
William Ossenkop and G. S Metz of
Waucomis, Oklahoma, were in the city
today for the purpose of having an ad
ministrator appointed for the estate of
his brother, S. 1. Metz, who died very
suddenly Wednesday morning. The
funeral occurred yesterday, and was
quite largely attended, and Mr. Metz
was called here on account of his
brother's death. He has li"ed in
Oklahoma for about four years, and is
well pleased with the country. Mr.
Metz says the wheat has all been har
vested and that corn looks tine. The
deceased Mr. Met, was a partner of
Mr. Ossenkop, and that gentleman
has closed the business until an ad
ministrator is appointed, and Mr
Metz will not return home until mat
ters are adjusted satisfactorily.
A Regular "Frost."
Speaking of the "opening meeting"
of the congressional compaign last Sat
urday the Auburn Herald says: "The
openintr gun of the congressional com-
paitrn was tired in this city Saturday
by a couple of 22 calibre orators. It
was only a corporal's guard that as
sembled in the courthouse yard to
hear Senator Uurkett and E. M. Pol
lard discuss the issues, Saturday af
ternoon. There was no enthusiasm
while Burkett or Pollard spoke. Half
the crowd left while the latter was
holding forth. If the postmasters of
the county had remained at home the
audience would have been very slim
indeed."

A. A. Herren, Finch, Ark., writes:
"Foley's Honey & Tar is the best

ed consumption in the first stages."

'JHE ELECTION LAW VOID!
Chief Justice Holcomb Hands Down the
Opinion of the Judges.
CONFLICTS WITH FUNDAMENTAL LAW
This is Another Great Mistake the Repub
licans Will Have to Answer For.
WHAT ARE TO BE ELECTED THIS FALL.
The biennial election law has been
declared void. Chief Justice Holcomb
is the author of the opinion and it was
unanimously approved by the other
judges. The law, which seeks to do
away with the odd year elections, was
declared unconstitutional because the
judges thought it sought toextend the
tenure of otlice of officials whose terms
were fixed by the organic law.
The decision makes it neccessary to
hold election this fall for supreme
judge, regents and county officials.
Chief Justice Holcomb, in discussing
the argument that the legislature has
a right to interpret the constitution
when it bears on subjectsof a political
nature and that the rule contended
for seems reasonable, but that it can
not be given the weight urged because
the provisions of the constitution will
not bear a construction permittiing the
legislature to change the time of hold
ing of elections for judicial office
and extending their terms one year.
The court says:
The conflict is so palpable that
the legislature enactment must give
way.
The action of the legislative branch
of the government is entitled to and
should receive from the judicial de
partment the greatest of respect and
deference. This has been freely ac
corded and ever kept in mind in the
consideration and discussion of the
case at bar. The court should and
does approach a conclusion, resulting
in a holding that the law is unconsti
tutional, with great caution and hesi
tancy. The wisdom, policy and ex
pediency of the law have not been al
lowed, that we are conscious of, to in
the slightest degree influences our de
cision. We have endeavored to keep
within the legitimate sphere of action
belonging to the judiciary. And inso
far as human falibility permits us to
reach a conclusion from a strictly
legal and judicial standpoint, the final
and ultimnate construction of the con
stitution is by that instrument in
trusted to the court. We have en
deavored to discharge the trust thus
reposed in the tribunal over which we
for a time give expression to its utter
ances and decrees, according to the
meaning expressed or arising by impli
cation. In to doing we are unable to
escape the conclusionthat the legisla
tive enectment in controversy conflicts
with several of che provisions of the
fundamental law, and that the former
must give way and beclared without
legal force imperative and void.
In regard to the provisions of the
schedule, which the attorney contend
ed were merely temporary and direc
tory, Judge Holcomb say.? that they
are in many instances as lasting as
other portions of the constitution and
were so inted. Much reliance had been
placed on a Kansas decision upholding
a similar statute, but Judge Holcomb
points out that there is a marked dif
ference between the constitution of
the two states in that the Nebraska
document designates specifically the
time when terms of otlice shall begin
and end.
ith reference to the contention
that the legislature had the power to
postpone for a year the choice of the
successor to the present incumbents
Judge Holcomb says that it would
leave the control of the offices exclus
ively in the legislature. He adds;
The provision of the constitution
providing that an officer shall hold
over until his successor is elected can
not be understood to confer on the
legislature the power to unnecessarily
postpone the election of a successor to
the office and thereby create a condi
tion authorizing the incumbent to hold
over after the expiration of his term.
The mischiefs which would result from
this construction of the constitution
and the recognition of his authority
in the legislature are too evident to
require discussion. By the adoption of
measures of this character the legis
lative department would appropriate
to itself an extensive and dangerous
power and influence over a great num
ber of offices and officers.
The "knocking out" of the law
necessitates the election of the follow
ing county officials in November: One
judge of the supreme court, two re
gents of the state university, sheriff,
treasurer, county clerk, county judge,
surveyor, coroner and county superin
tendent of schools, who would other
wise have held over to next year under
the law passed by the last legislature.
Right You Are.
Plattsmouth stands a chance of get
ting the state national guard encamp
ment to be held next August. The
state military board i anxious to se
cure a location for the encampment
where a satisfactory rifle range can
be secured and as bluffs and hills are
an almost necessary adjunct to a rifle
range, the military experts are inves
tigating the country around Platts
mouth, where there are more hills
than anything else. However, the
encampment could hardly be better
located than near Plattsmouth. Ne

i INTERESTING LETTER PROM MILWAUKEE
Mrs. J. N. Wise Enjoying Herself Among
Friends of Girlhood Days.
(In t .lournitl i
Mii.w ai kkk. Wis , June 21, l'".",
Yesterday at 11 a. m . I said V"od
luoiiiinn" to this beautiful city. The
streets vere washed clean and sinn
ing Ilau's an 1 banners, streamers and
penants, arches and devices of all
kinds bearing the word Welcome,"
were on every side. Of course, I ap
propriated Lhis hospitable greeting at
once, but when 1 saw the big parades
and heard the numberless bands, 1
concluded I would be obliged to divide
the honors with the Woodmen, for the
city is .simply swarming with them.
However, if I could not appropriate
the city's welcome, 1 could that of my
friends. Some of them thav have
called on me I have riot seen before
for forty years. We have grown old,
we have grown gray headed, some of
us have had cares and sorrows heavy
to bear, but in thisre-union our hearts
will be gladdened and we will be girls
and boys together, and quite as giddy
and frivolous as we were in the old
days.
Our re-union, or the final ceremonies,
will take place the twenty-ninth.
Letters are coming in from all parts
of the country of acceptance. lam,
in intervals of talking and receiving
calls, busily employed directing invi
tations, making badges and assisting
generally my friend, Dr. Evelyn
Hoehne, who is secretary and prime
mover in the re-union.
Of course, all outside interest is cen
tered in the Woodmen's camp: it is
not altogether a session devoted to
pleasure, as the prominence of amuse
ments on the daily program would in
dicate. The business sessions give
promise of sensations that threaten
the old line insurance companies. It
seems as if the home territory of the
old line companies is to be invaded by
the fraternal societies under the lead
ership of the Modern Woodman, but
the coming contest is not one of su
premacy in insurance competieion; it
includes a thorough investigation into
the financial and business methods of
every old line company of prominence
in the country. A resolution, calling
tor a great fraternal conference in
New York, has been introduced by A.
O. Cro.ier, of Wilmington, Delaware,
and it is expected it will receive fav
orable consideration of both the com
mittee on resolutions and the head
camp. It is considered in the light of
a strategic movement to carry the
fight to New York, if the Woodmen
with a membership of 700,000 receive
the co-operation of other fraternal so
cieties with a membership of many
millions and act unitedly it is a pre
cursor of one of the most sensational
disclosures ever made in the world
Delegate Crozier thinks this will be a
movement of national importance and
will result in insurance being placed
on an economical basis never before
known. The Woodmen are asked to
bear the burden of organization, be
cause they represent the strongest in
surance association, numerically, in
the world.
There is such a wealth of amuse
ments offered by the city for the en
tertainment of visitors that it will be
difficult to decide which to choose. I
think the automobile and floral parade
Friday morning and the carnival pa
rade in the afternoon will be well
worth seeing. If we have any Ne
braska people here besides myself I
have noe yet seen them. Will send
you a program of the Eighth Ward
School re-union later.
Let me apologize for this fragment
ary letter. I have been repeatedly in
terrupted by telephone and other calls
and finally in despair of copying it or
otherwise making in presentable, I
send it hoping you may be able to
make some use of it.
