Westervelt. of Seottsbiuff, for member of the board of control, appointed by Governor ?.IcMu!len, was confirmed by the senate Wed nesday forenoon by a vote of 2S to 4. More than the necessary two-thirds of the thirty-three members were re corded for confirmation. Of tho twenty-seven republicans in the sen ate Robbins of Douglas was the only one who voted against confirmation. He voted with three of the six dem ocrats. Banning of Cass, Robertson of Holt and Shellenberger of Harlan. Two democrats, Kerr of Lincln and Purcell of Custer voted for confirma tion. Dolczal of Saunders, democrat, was absent being unable to return from his home at Wahoo in time for the roll call. Upon his arrival he said he would have voted for con firmation as he believes in lotting the governor use his own judgement in the matter of appointments. . The investigating committee com prising Cooper of Douglas, IHian of Boone, Purcell of Custer, Wood, of Seottsbiuff and Watson of Fillmore, submitted a report stating that it had made as full and complete an inquiry as possible having heard statements of several reputable citi zens who havq known Mr. Wer-terveit many years and having had the ap pointee before it for interrogation touching his qualifications and busi ness connections. From all the evi dence, the committee said it found: "That Mr. Westervelt is a pioneer in middle western Nebraska, vigor ous in mind and body, and has held the office of sheriff for several terms, and for several years a member of the board cf education as wtll as post master of Seottsbiuff for rive years; that he is a pubiic-spiriied citizen and has been all his life t:king a keen interest in public affairs and is well versed on matters pertaining to state institutions and on questions concerning the welfare cf the state; that he is reputed to be a man cf rugged honesty and integrity; that he is not connected with any busi ness enterprise with which the state is likely to have business relations while he may be a member of the board of control; that Mr. Wester velt has made a success of life, is a good citizen, fully cognizant of the scope and duties of the board, with its attendant responsibilities, and gives premise of being capable and effi cient member of the board of con trol. We recommend his confirma tion." Wood moved that the roll be called upon tho committee report. Banning, democratic- floor- Jeudcr, moved- that the matter be considered in secret session. Cooper moved suspension of the rules and that action be taken in open session. This carried. Upon roll call Banning explained his. negative vote by saying that hi a attitude was not from a political view point. Two years ago he said he voted for confirmation of a member of the board of control under pro test. He deemed the board of control of more importance than any execu tive office. The board spends millions and have charge of r,000 acres of farm land, yet no appointee ever had knowledge of farming. The board ought to be strengthened, not weak ened. He said he did not feel that Westervelt has all tho qualifications required on this board. There was nothing personal in his opposition, ho explained, but he said if the board is not strengthened tha people will demand that it bo abolished. Keed or Hamilton, republican, as Herted that confirmation is made a farco when acted upon In open ses sion, as men will not speak up where tho press and public can hoar.
