LINCOLN. Aug. 21. (Special. )-The Com
mercial club of Alliance showed Us faith
In tha "old" Normal board by submitting
to It a proposition for the new normal
school. The Commercial club sent to
Luther P. Ludden, secretary, an offer to

Is located there. Enclosed with the prop
osition were several petitions from neigh
boring towns asking that the school be lo
cated there, and also a statement signed
by numerous business men offering a bond
of $20,000 to guaranty title to the property. ,
dv President Chllds of tha old board has not
7yet called a meeting, but he Is expected to
do so within a few days, as the school Is
to be located between the 1st and 10th of
the month.
In the meantime friends of the old board,
which waa legislated out of business by the
late democratic legislature, have looked up
the record and discovered that the appro
priation for the new normal school was
made previous to the creation of the new
Normal board, and for that reason these
friends believe the legislature Intended to
have the old board locate the new school.

gram.) J nil ire C. B. Letton of the supreme
court this morning filed an opinion dls
sentlng from the opinion of the majority of
the court, which held the nonpartisan
Judiciary law Invalid.
Judge Letton agrees with the majority
of the' court that the portion of the act
which provides that It Is unlawful for a
convention to endorse or criticise or In
any way mention candidates for the
Judiciary of school offices, Is Invalid.
He also agrees that the portion of the
law which limits the signers of petitions
to 600 to a county Is bad.
However, he holds that the law provided
no penalty for a violation of the section
relating to conventions and therefore he
holds the legislature In this acted merely
In an advisory capacity or expressed what
It would like to do had It the power. Were
these provisions out of the law he holds
there Is still sufficient left to carry out
the Intentions of the legislature and there
fore the law should stand. He holds the
legislature has authority to prevent the
nomination of any class of officers at a
primary or to regulate these nominations
as It may see fit. .leaving the same to
