SO-: Hp.;cial. Owlna- to the doubt of the Ollln primary election law Including the nomination of a candidate for the T.'nlted 8tatPS annate to be voted on at the primary election next August, Governor Shallenberjcer probably will ask the attorney general for an opinion on the matter before he issues his election proc lamation. The section about which there ia doubt reads aa follows: ' ' "Section 5804 (Primary, when and where held) There shall be . a Diimary election held at the rerular polling places in each precinct on th third Tuesday In Auyust, I9J9. and annually thereafter on the third Tuesday In August for the nomination of all candidates except thone exempted from the provisions of this, act to be voted for at the November election and United Stales senators and said day shall be the first day of registration of -voters in all cities where retiBtratUm Is required." Without punctutation those who have examined thin piece of democratic work """have concluded there Is a grave doubt of the right of the voters under Its provi sions to nominate a senator. Deputy At torney General Grant Martin suid there was Krave doubts about the law providing fog tue nomination of candidates for the senate, but ha preferred, to look Into the matter more thoroughly before giving out an official opinion. Should this law not provide for the nomination of senatorial candidates, the candidates may still be voted upon at the general election under the Bryan Humphrey- Oregon law. It has already been reported that this law also la to be attached, but whether 11 IB op- DDI 11 19 not -ouiiKHiury iui candidate for the legislature to agree to vote for the popular candldute of any party. In the meantime should both acts be declared, bad Insofar as the selection of senatorial candidate are concerned, there would be no 'reason for Governor Shai lenberger, Mr. TTjompsou, Mr. Hitchcock or even Mr. Bryan to announce hla can didacy.

The democratic law provides that un less the J'idge'of the district court pro vides otherwise a grand Jury will be railed on the first day of the first term of the district court. As thin Is a criminal statute and la there for construed literally, lawyers have held that It will not be possible to have, but the one grand Jury under that law. That one will be called on the first day of the first term of the court. Those who have held In this manner, insist that there can be but one first day of the first term of the court and that comes on the first day o fthe term of court held after the law was enacted. The law does not provide for the grand Jury to be convened annually. Judge John B. Barnes, Judge Jacob Faw cett and Judge Samuel H.

Governor Shailenberger. who Tuesday announced that he would accept the invitation of . & i Governor Haskell tor a coniereuec oi , executives of Oklahoma. Kansas and Ne braska yesterday wrote the following letter to the Oklahoma governor: "I have your telegram relative to the matter of a conference to be held by those officially Interested In and empowered with the enforcement of the guaranty of de posits law In the states of Kansas, Okla homa and Nebraska. "In reply I will say that It seems to me that the suggestion is a good one and I will be very glad to assist In any way. The laws of the three states have all been attacked upon different points and the federal courts' In Nebraska and Kansas have enjoined the laws of these respective states for different reasons, and, as you suggest. It seems to me highly to be de Blred. that the lawyers having In charge the cases for the different states, and the executive departments having In charge, the enforcement of the laws, should mu tually confer and agree as to a general policy. "I will be very glad to hear from you further In the matter, as doubtless you have given It attention, and I would like to know If It Is your Idea to hold the con ference In one of the respective states, or to confer at the time of the meeting of governors, called for January 18, next, at Washington.

From Kearney this morning Governor Shailenberger received a well-marked pa per containing interviews with prominent citizens favoring the calling of an extra session of the state legislature. Among the number anxious for the extra session is Judge W. D. Oldham. He desires It in order to have re-enacted soma of the legis lation which the late legislature fell down upon last winter. Among those who called yesterday in opposition to an extra session was Repre sentative Scheie of Seward county. "I see no use of the extra session," said the Seward county statesman as he brushed from his clothes some of the dust of California, from which place he had Just returned. "I am not so sure but what the Initiative and referendum la all right, but the bill was killed last winter and there Is no grounds for believing that It will be passed at an extra session. It would simply be a burden on the tax payers and no good would come of it that I can see. I believe It is about time to consider the costs to the taxpayers. We have enough laws for awhile, at least un til the next legislature meets." 'Tell Job and lalus. Labor Commissioner Maupin wilt be up against a very embarrassing proposition when the Nebraska State Federation of Labor meets next week In South Omaha.

"Anyone reading the article will know I meant the Texas law." said Mr. Thomp son, "but I believe I am entitled to a correction. I don't want to be put In the attitude cf saying any law passed by Okla homa will stand the test of the constitu tion of Nebraska. Anything but those laws." John Hays Hammond to Entertain.
