As pires to Office. To take the place of a candidate for superintendent of schools in Scotts Bluff county, who was regu larly nominated in the primaries last July, but has since removed from the state, friends of M. A. Sams at Scottsbluff propos to file a petition petition to have the vacancy filled by placing his name on the ticket. The attorney general's office has been asked by F. M. Butts, office manager at Lincoln for the Nebras ka farm bureau federation about the legal aspects of the situation. Mr. Butts is a friend of Mr. Sams and wanted to know what procedure should be followed. The county superintendent is said to have held that a vacancy on the nonpolitical ticket cannot be filled by the petition method. The state supreme court held that way in 1918, but a new law enacted in 1921 pro vides that this may be done. Sams, whom Cass county people will remember as having been for a number of years head of the schools at Louisville and at one time repub lican candidate for county superin tendent in this county, was an un successful candidate for the office in the July primaries in Scotts Bluff county, where he now makes his home. Those nominated were Mrs. Mir iam Southwell and Miss Ella Mc Intyre, but the latter has since ac cepted a teaching position in Salt; Lake City and is now there. She published a statement in the paper favoring Mrs. Southwell's election. Secretary of State Amsberry, who was consulted on the matter, thinks it is one for the county authorities to settle, but he points out that under the law a vacancy on the non-political ticket for county office may be filled by a petition' signed by 10 per cent of the electors in the county.
