From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, June 23. (Special Telegram.) Republicans and democrats of the First congressional district will In all probability hold no election July 18 to select a succes sor to Senator Burkett. This because the proclamation Issued by Governor Mickey calling; the special election Is. In the opin ion of prominent attorneys. In direct con filet with the statutes and Is therefore null and void. Section 108 of the Complied Stat utes bearing; on this subject reads as roi . lows: When a vacancy occurs In the office of representative In congress or members of the legislature, and the body In which such vacancy exists will convene prior to the next general election, the governor shall order a special election to fill such vacancy at the earliest practical time and ten days' notice of such election shall be given. It Is claimed the election proclamation Is void for the reason that there will be no k session of congress before the general elec tion, or at least no extra session of con- ' v. I lfA.4 gress has been called Governor Mickey Issued his proclamation under the Impression that there would be no election In Nebraska this fall and that President Roosevelt would call a special session of congress. Advisors of the two candidates, Pollard and Brown, have had the matter under consideration all day, but refuse to Issue any authoritative statement, but that both sides realize the proclamation Is void Is evidenced by the fact that not a wheel Is turning In either headquarters and all operations have been suspended. In fact, everything politically is up In the air. It Is beHevosl by leaders In both parties that Governor Mickey will rescind his proclama tion within forty-eight hours, but whether he does or not. they say the election will be void. , . Mar Mean Another Convention. Should Governor Mickey withdraw his proclamation It Is held by prominent at torneys that it would be necessary for both the republicans and democrats to hold again their nominating conventions. Prom inent democrats tonight said they would merely renominate Mayor Brown, while prominent republicans said there would bo a right for the republican nomination Should this be the case It might mean the defeat of Candidate Pollard, as many of the Lancaster republicans have not yet be come reconciled to him. Should the candl date pull off the election anyhow, It Is claimed that any one who would have his name put on the ticket at the general elec tlon and who received any votes would be declared elected, Attorney General Brown tonight said he would prefer to look Into the matter fur ther before making a statement, though he thought If both sides participated In the election, and a special session should be called before the general election, there would be no trouble. Otherwise, he said the call for the election probably was void, Chairman Metcalfe of the democratic committee had this to say "I take It for granted that Nebraska's Saturday Will Positively Be the Last Day of the Lec tures on Domestic 1 Science and the Art of Cooking At the People's Store BY Sarah Elizabeth Craig, of Boston.

We have made all our arrangements for a clear-cut fight for July 18. Of course If our republican friends are so badly scared that they want to find an excuse for postponing the date of battle we must submit. Mr. Brown Is really the Togo In this fight and he cannot, of course, conquer Rojestvensky until he Is able to meet him. We believed all along that we had the enemy on the run. We are sure of It now. Tct we are prepared to fight It out July 18 or at the general election." LABOR FEDERATION ENJOINED Temporary Order Issued In California at Instance of Cnnnecticni Hat Makers. SAN FRANCISCO. June 23.-Unlted States Circuit Judge Morrow has granted the application of Dietrich E. Loewe & Co. of Danbury, Conn., for a temporary in junction against the California State Fed eration of Labor and the San Francisco labor Council, which Is boycotting a local firm of Jobbers In the hats manufactured by Loewe. The Injunction pendente lite was granted on the ground that the unions had conspired not only to protect them selves, but to destroy the property and ruin the business of the complainants. The defendants' contention was tiat they had used neither force, threats nor intimi dation and had only urged upon the friends of labor the necessity of using their pa tronage for the benefit of labor a constitu tional right. But can it be truthfully said that this Is all that has been done by them In forcing the boycott?" the court proceeds and points out that this Is the power of "combined numbers" and that the company is helpless "unless they surrender the management and control of their business to a labor organization." AH employes have the right to quit their employment, but no right to combine to quit In order thereby to compel their em ployer to withdraw from a mutually profitable relation with a third person for the purpose of Injuring the third person when the relation thus Bought to be broken had no effect whatever upon the character of the reward of their services."

STARTS THE POLITICIANS Lansaster Mn Already Figuring on Makeup of This rail's Ticket REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE TO BE CALLED Members of state Hoard of Assess mrnt, Except fialasha. Who Is Ont of City, Slern Record of the Donril, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. June 25. (Special.) The re publican state commltree will be called together within a few days, at least within ten days, to sot a time and select a place for holding the state convention to select a candidate for supreme Judge and two condldates for regents of the State university. Chairman Burgess Is out of the city today, but Is expected back shortly to consult alxiut the time of the meeting of the committee. Already T.ancaster politicians have be gun to talk about a candidate to run for the place of Chief Justice Holeomb and new names arc being discussed every hour. Among those mentioned are: Com missioner C. B. Letton of Falrbury, Com missioner Ames of Lincoln, Commissioner Duffle of Omaha, S. P. Davidson of Te cuniirh. E. C. Calkins of Kearney, Am brose Kpperson of Clay Center and nu merous others. In fact, before the opinion of the court deelnrlng the biennial elections law Un constitutional had been out an hour, the ever watchful Lancaster politicians were discussing probable candidates and now the Interest In the Judicial race has over- i topped and overshadowed the congres sional fight now on. B. II. Oouldlng of Kearney, assistant secretary of the senate last winter, was among the visitors to Lincoln today and I he put In a good word for K. C. Calkins j of Kearney. Mr. Gouldlng also said the position taken by Governor Mickey and Treasurer Mortensen on the assessment j of railroad property met with the ap- 1 provnl of the people of his county. I Clyde Barnard, reading clerk of the late house of representatives, who was ! here last night and today Is paying some attention to the congressional race be- ' tween Mayor Brown and Brnest Pollard. Barnard said the outside counties would , get out their full vote and If Lancaster failed to come up to the old-time majority for Pollard It would have to pay the penalty by a reduced representation In the next congressional convention. Senator Fries was here Wednesday night en route home from a visit to Vir ginia and John Wall was here this morn ing. Both of these are prospective can didates for governor next year. Fries said he was too tired to talk and Wall was too busy putting the finishing touches on the house Journal to say when he would formally open his campaign. Assessment Hecord Sinned. The records of the State Board of Assess ment were signed this morning by Gov ernor Mickey, Treasurer Mortensen, Aud itor Searle and Land Commissioner Eaton. Secretary of State Galusha was absent and his name was not affixed to the final find ings of the board. Incidentally the big fight Is yet to come between the threo new members of the board, Searle, Eaton and Galusha. The latter made a statement yesterday that Searle and Eaton had broken faith with him in that the three had agreed to prevent a final vote being taken during the absence of either of the three. Searle and Eaton this morning emphatically denied the state ment and said tomorrow they would give out a signed statement In regard to the charge made by Galusha. Governor Mickey and Treasurer Mor tensen are disappointed that the Union Pa cific was riot assessed at a higher valua tion, but feel under the circumstances they did the best they could. All three of the new members stated emphatically they would not vote for an assessment over 112,000 a mile and fearing that Searle and Eaton would go to the figures of Galusha, $11,000 a mile, they accepted the 112,000 as sessment.

The Inscription beneath the photograph reads: "Mr. and Mrs. Payne, who spent the summer of I'M In the first cottage of the row in cut .below." Mr. Payne formerly taught school In Nebraska. Gas Plant for Mate House. Deputy Auditor Cook has taken the pains to figure out that it would be cheaper for the state to have a gas plant of its own than to pay the Lincoln Gas company for lighting the state house. Mr. Cook today figured out that the state has paid this company during the last year, from June to Juno, 11,476.60 for gas. This does not In clude the money which has been paid out for electric lights. About $700 of this amount was spent during the legislature. Mr. Cook will recommend to the State Board of Pub lie Lands and Buildings that It Install a gas plant.
