' ' ELECTION ' ROW IN OLD NEM AH A'1ra Jonu Think ? He is Entitled to the Seat Given to Swan , PECULIAR USE OF THE BLANKET BALLOT FtmlonUt Votra for it Popular Heptili- llcnn Cnnillilalc I'rei'lpltntc n Pui- * Hi If Content ( lint Mny llcwnlt In OuntlnK One tit the Combine. LINCOLN , Nov. 17. ( Special. ) There Is a curious election row down 'In Nemnlm county. The fusion candidates lor the legis lature were Jones and Swan. Jones wag a populist ot republican antecedents and was running for re-election. Swan was a dem ocrat of the old school. Through tile cam paign there \\as not the boat of feeling be tween the men. Swan claimed that Jones' record In the Inst legislature was hurting the ticket , while Jbnes was certain that Swan was losing votes for everybody by his method of campaign1 ! ! . ; und his style ot I speeches. After election the official count showed that one- republican was elected by a good majority and that Swan was the other successful man , leading Jones by one vote. The friends of Jones have discovered that 1n one precinct Swan got credit for twenty votes that should not ha\-o been counted. It was In a prec'nct ' where Arm strong , the republican , was popular , and twenty fuslonlsts who voted practically straight tickets also made a cross after the name of Armstrong. Owing to the compli cation of the ballot law the judges of elec tion decided that the votes should count tor Armstrong nnd Swan , although there was no cross after the name of Swan on any of the scratched ballots. The law la explicit on this point , the judges ot election ac knowledge that their ruling was wrong and ' everybody knows that Jones was legally t elected. It la said that there are other Ir regularities down there that would result lu the seating of Jones should corrections be made , and It IB probable that the "allied forces of reform" In Nemaha county nro likely to get Into a content. Should the fuss bo brought Into the legislature it will furnish a further Incentive to the amend ment of the present ballot lew. I.cl thr Governor Out. ' The supreme court today made the fol lowing holding In the case brought by Vic tor Rosewatcr to compel Governor Holcorab to act In the Flro and Police Board matter : j "This action was to compel the respondent to perform certain duties claimed to devolve upon him by virtue of his office. In State ex rel Smyth against Moores , 76 N. W. Rep. 175 , It was held that the act of .the legislature of 1SD7 , Insofar as It assumes to confer nu- thorlty upon the governor to appoint lire and police commissioners lu cities of the metropolitan class , Is void. The duty of wlilcli It Is now sought to compel the pur- formance depends for Its exercise upon the force of the statute above referred to , and ns the statute Is void no such duty exists , and therefore Its performance cannot be con trolled by mandamus. " The court handed down an opinion In the Irvine case , affirming the Judgment of the district court. The case arose out of a dis pute between Commissioner Irvine and Auditor Cornell. Irvine , put In a bill for pay for lectures delivered at the university and Cornell refused to approve the voucher. The auditor was prompted by the celebrated opinion written by the attorney general , which held that an employe of the state at a specified salary "owed all his time to the state. " The fact that employes of the offices of the auditor and the attorney general have drawn extra pay In addition .to their salaries , and that the" attorney genfral himself had taken additional pay whenever possible , made this ruling a subject of much sport during the campaign. The Irvine case was tried In the district court , and the verdict was against the auditor. The affirmation of this decision by the supreme court allows Irvlno to draw his pay. There is a prece dent In the matter , olthouih It Is not exactly In Judicial form. While on the supreme bench Judge Maxwell entered Into a con tract with the regents and drew extra pay for lecturing at the university. The syllabus of the opinion is as follows : 1. An Incumbent of a state office , of which the duration nnd salary are definitely fixed by statute , Is not accountable to the auditor of public accounts of the state for the man- ' tier In which as such Incumbent he has dis charged the duties of his office. 2. Where a state officer has rendered services outside of and not Incompatible with his duties ns such officer. It Is not proper for the auditor of public accounts of the state to refuse to Issue a warrant In payment of such extra services merely be cause the said state officer's salary , already paid , was for the period during which the said extra services were rendered. 3. A statute created the office of commis sioner of the supreme court , prescribed his duties , provided his compensation , payable quarterly , and only forbade , during his term , his engaging In the practice of law. Held , that neither upon principle nor upon statu- lory grounds was such commissioner prop- erly denied compensation for lectures de- llvered to a law clana of the State unlver- ' blty , slnco such extra services were not In- i compatible with or Included within the scope of his duties as such commissioner. In dessentlng from the opinion of the court Judge Sullivan pays : "The Judgment In this case enforces a claim entirely mer- Horlfus. I think , Tjowcver. the contract which Is the basis of the action contravenes sound public policy and that the decision will prove -to be a mischievous precedent. " Admitted to the Dnr.

This assumes that they had official notice of his death , which they did not have.
