I HAVE PUT TICKET EJ THE FIELD Or. Claps' Heaarded aa Ten Partial In Basket Rail and Trark Work, Against Foot Ball and Rase Rail. LINCOLN. May 9 -(Spec lal. i-The cam paign for student membership on the Ne brssks athletic board developed suddenly yesterday Into one of the warmest election contests that has been witnessed on the local campus In ten years. Durlig the early pert of the week the chief Iwue of the campaim centered around the question of the affiliations of the candidates with Theta Nu Epsllcn. an Interfraternlty held In dlareputeAt the state school. Chsrges were made by a set of students that Theta Nu Hpsilon had a ticket In the field, which It was trying to elect In order to secure control of the affairs of the athletic board. These were strongly denied hy the men picked out as the candidates of "T. N. K." and such strong evidence was brought forth to prove them false that It became apparent a new Issue would have to be hatched in the fight. So yesterday the element op posed to Ir. Clapp began pushing a ticket of five men with the declarations tht this quintet stood for belter Nebraska athletic and would be against Dr. Clapp in his fight on the training table. y In. Clapp Is rearded among the student body as being opposed to broadening the fields of for ball and baae ball. Himself, a tra:k athlete and coach of both the basket ball and track teams, he Is naturally prejudiced In favor of these two sport a against the major gamea. The students durln the last year have charedthat he would like to make track and basket ball games the msjor snorts at Nebraska and "kill" foot ball. They point to hi op position to th foot ball training table and hi attempt to do away with the athletic hoard last winter as convincing argument In their poaltkm. Personntl of Candidate.. In the present campaign a faction of the students are backing William Chaloupka, all weatern tackle; Perry, captain of the basket ball team; Carroll, catcher on the base hall nine; Clyde K. Elliott, whom the Lincoln. Star today said I "one of th best versed men in university athletics In school;" and Harte, star guard on the varalety eleven. ..This ticket is called an antl-Clapp bunch and Is held to stand for a broader oollcy In Cornhueker athletics. The antl-Clapp faction Is making a hard ffght on McDonald, captain of the track team, and Mahood, Hurnmell and Schmidt, candidates whom Dr. Clapp Is said to have Infliieneed to enter the field. A handbill circulated on the campus by the "liberals." or antl-Clapp party, aroused great comment. It I headed a "Crisis In Nebraska Athletics." It asks three ques tions in boldface type: "Do you want a foot ball training table?" "Do you want Nebraska to defeat Kansas next fall?" and "Do you want Nebraska to keep abreast of the airier big schools In the west?" It then answer them by stating, "If you do then vote for the candidates for the ath letlo board who will not be Dr. Clapp' catspa ws." The bill reviews the fight made against Dr. Clapp when he tried to do away with the athletic board and get the position of director of athletics. It tells how he was opposed by Dr. Maxey, faculty member, and three student members. Harvey. Elliotl and Frum. The story of how th fight waa carried to the regents by the three student member and how Dr. Clapp was turned down la related In detail, and the students are asked to vote for the antl Clapp faction In order that the liberal policy for Nebraska may be carried out. The election takes plsce Monday and the Indications are that the heaviest vote ever polled at the university will he recorded. The" polls will be open from 8:30 a. m. to 12:20 p. m. and from 1:20 p. m. to 4:30 p. in. HAVELOCK LINCOLN'S OASIS (Continued from First Page.) Much pressure I being brought In th nega tive by citizens of Havelock. To Teat Nonpartisan I. aw. A conference of the committee appointed hy the republican state central committee to Inquire Into the possibility and reason ableness of testing the non-psrtlsan judi ciary law met In Omaha Wednesday and It was decided to make a teat ca.e, a the member of the committee, all lawyers, thought the new law would not stand the test of the light. John C. Cowin of Omaha nd C. O. Whedon of IJacoln were au thorised to go ahead and prepare the case for test. It ha not been decided yet just what methoi will be errfployrd to get Into court. That matter Is now being investi gated by the attorneys,' To the committee, on hasty Invest igailon, there seemed to be two weaknesses in the law that justified the test case being brought. On was that the legislature had made a law which put on certain candi date for stat office restrictions and dutle In becoming candidate that were not Im posed on others. Candidates for. supreme Judge, for regent of the slate university and for slat Uer1n(endent are required under the law to be attacked to secure a petition of 5.(100 names, not more than 600 of which can come from one county. Other candidates may be nominated at a primary election. This Is thought to give ihe candi date who must secure the large petition an unequal chance with the others, and denies to some of them the right to a candidacy, thereby hindering the voter from casting his ballot for whom he desirea in an election. A case in point was suggested at the recent meeting of t lie suu centra! committee when the law of the law '0os was mentioned. This law made It obliga tory for each candidate elected to pay into the county treasury 1 per cent of his salary to tefray the expense of the election. Judge Holromb decided that this was n abridg ment of the right of the voter to cast his t allot fur his choice, since It prevent! d some men lie I eg candldatea. The law was tl icwn out on this ground Tha ntlia-p nolut on tt'Mrli Ihe atlueit m-ait .ugge.ted was that of the validity of. th. raseage of the law. This view of th matter grant the right of the legislature to pass such a law as It has and merely attacks the form of the bill as It became k law. The flaw In the law has bten re peatedly pointed nut. Tpe primary law of 1907 repealed many sections of the original election law. The author of the bill used a copy of the statutes which did not cut these repealed section net and In several Instance amend h i the alatuta which wer repealed In li , A an amend ment to a aectlon repealed pi 1H07 th new law forbid political purtus and political commit ttxs from taking part In any way, by uggeting, recommending or endorsing, any candidal for any of the offlcea covered by the law. To Drain Salt Lake. Th county cotnmUaloner hav reached the conclusion to let the bridge contract to the Standard tlrldge company and have asked County Attorney Tyrrell to draw up a contract that will be aster tight. The Standard Brldpre company gets the contract for both steel and wooden bridge because It Is considered by the commissioners that they are the lowest bidders when every part of the material entering Into tin con struction Is considered. There were a half doren bidders and the commissioner' cogitated for some time before reaching a decision. t'ommlse loner Rennett favored the rejection of all contract to allow the county to do the work as euggcMed by Engineer Pcott When the estimates for brldires were made a much larger sum was put down than In former years in anticipa tion that devastating floods might come and require a bigger sum of money to re pair the damage. At the present time the bridges of Lancaster county are said to be In excellent condition and there Is not much work In sight after existing contracts have been completed. The Standard Rrldg company secured the contract last year for wooden bridges and afterwards assumed that of the Realty corporation on steel truettires.
