Lincoln, Feb. 4.—County central committee are justified in determin ing the apportionment or quota of delegates to tiie county conventions, despite the repeal of Section 2165 of Hie 1922 statutes, according to an Opinion given today by Attorney Gen eral O. S, Spillman. Spillman's opinion follows a requesi for Information from Mrs. W. Leroy !>avl» of Lincoln, president of the Nebraska T,esgue of Women Voters, and Mrs. \V. K. Barkley, chairman of the league's primary committee. Ills opinion follows: "In your letter of Inquiry of yes terday you ask the following ques tions: "In your opinion did the Keck bill repeal Section 2165, 1922 com piled statutes, providing for the direct election by the voters of del egates to the various county party conventions? "The Keck bill was approved April 21. Another bill dealing with tiie primary elections was ap proved April 26 in which reference is made to the election of the del egates to tiie county conventions it seems to ho assumed that Section 2165 had not been repealed. In your opinion did this latter bill repeal by implication the repeal of Section 2165 in the Keck bill?” • I.aw on Primary. "Answering your first Inquiry, it is my opinion that hous e roll 482. chaper 78, pages 216-217. of the Laws of 1923, known as the Keck bill, does repeal Section 2165 of ttie compiled •latutes*of Nebraska for 1922. "Answering your second inquiry, permit me to suggest that house roll 247. chapter 70, 207, Laws of 1923. among other things provides: "Section 2100. Time and place of primary. There shall be a primary •lection held at the regular polling place 1n each precinct on the second Tuesday in August, 1926. and every two years thereafter, except as other wise provided ih the two next fol lowing sections, for the nomination of all the candidates except those ex empted from tiie provisions of this article, to be voted for'at the Novem l>er election; also, delegates to the county convention." "Section 2101. Same Presidential Tear—In the year 1924 and every four years thereafter the primary shall be held on the second Tuesday in April, at which time a preference vote for president and vice president of the United States as provided for in this article shall be had. "The two above quoted sections should be construed together because they are companion sections of the same act relating to the same sub ject. Authority to Elect. ^-^'Allhough section 2165, compiled statutes of 1922, appears to be re pealed, and section 2164, complied statutes of 1922 was suspended end defeated by the referendum, It is my opinion that we have authority and are justified in proceeding to elect delegates to the county convention at the primary under the above quoted sections of house roll 247 of laws of 1923. v "House roll 247. page 209. laws of 1923, among othc? things provides: “The various political parties shall hold a county convention In each county on the third Thursday after the Tuesday upon which the general etatewlde primary Is held, which coun ty convention shall, from its own membership, select delegates to the state convention, and transact such other business as shall properly come before It. Should any precinct fall at the primary to elect Its quota of dele gates to the county convention, said convention shall have power to select such quota from the voters of such pjreelnct, and In like manner to fill • ny vacancy that may occur; Provid ed. that any party whose candidate for governor at the last preceding election leceive less than 20 per cent cf the total vote cast for such office tpay select delegates to Its county fcnnventlon without regard to precinct representation, In caucus called for the purpose, which county convention •hall select delegates to the state con vention on a basis authorized by the •tale committee of such party. "Having authority by law for hold ing the county convention, as above ^W^forth, and there being provision Ifor the election of delegates thereto, should the question he raised as to authority for apportionment of dele gates from the various precincts It Is my opinion that the present county rentral committees would he Justified In determining such apportionment or quota, and would have such authority by inference In the absence of express provision of the law."
