Neb., Dec. S. There is a .disposition on the part of the mem bers of the county board of supervis ors of this county to resist being auto matically retired on the first of the year to make way for a board of county commissioners, which shall be appointed to succeed them. They have employed counsel and will, it is said, test the constitutionality of the law by which they are to be displaced. At the recent election the voters of the county, by a very narrow margin only of those voting on the question, decided to discontinue township or ganization as a form of county govern ment and revert to the commissioner system. A petition asking that the question be submitted was filed very late in the campaign and little or no discussion was had and but few votet either for or against the charge, and 2,132 of the voters did not express themselves either way on the matter It is contended that the law which allows a minority to effect such a change in the management of county affairs must be unconstitutional.

Mur shcil of Ord may become the food ...mni.cinurr under the Neville ad- I IVlli III lOil 1 'ministration. Mr. Murshell is a mem ber of the fire commission staff at the present time and is well known in his section of the state. The po?sible appointee to this place was county clerk in Valley county and was mayor of Ord for three terms. He is an active democrat. L. F. Langhorst, state chairman, who was mentianed as a candidate for this position, is said to have want ed only to help out the Neville ad ministration. He would have to sacri fice his easiness interest, in a meas ure, if" he came to the new administra tion and that, his friends .here say, he would not care to do. Besides Mr. Langhorst was not a candidate for the place in the usual meaning of that term. He was anx ous only to serve his pprty by help ing the Neville administration make good.
