Nebraska RESIGNATION LIKELY IF DOES Fffort Vnrlor Way to lml are fimrft ToUrj to Withdraw In Jtiria-v' Frnrr- fihullf nhritfr Tryli Marh. I 'II (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) MNTOLX, Feb. 23 .(Special.) An. effort Al " f ' Trilfl to withdraw from the cnnKrexKlonal race and permit Jiitl-. Lincoln Krurt to bo tho only candidate from Lancaster county. Home friend of Judfre Frost Inj-lst that will bo u candidate whether Tohey wlth- -:iws or r.ot. while other are of the opln- Judge Front, will not reslsn his present office for an uncertainty. Should Jude Front decide to bo a candi date it l believed hy those who prtend to be close to him that he will follow the pre cedent set by Judge A. V. Fl-ld and resign from the bench upon the announcement of his candidacy. Bontfment In this county Is so strong; aaralnrt a member of the district bench be Ina; a 'candidate for congress that in the leg;llature of W7 Senator Kurna introduced a bill In the If.jrlplntnre to make it unlaw ful for a district judk'e to run for any other Akiycci while still on the bench. ( It was areued nt that time that the Judge on the" bench had an unfair ndvantase of competitor in that he ootild force lawyers and lltl-nnts to he for him by swinging the ! Uidlolal tll. Bff-lt In when he was defeated by W. J. 1? yan, Jude Allen W. Field ha: the same Idea and felt that It wan a duty and an obligation to lawyers and litigants fpin erally .that he resign from the bench and T lake the fight fir concrete on his own npularlty and his own ability. Tn addition to that he would not rluk the charge that he was using hla office to furl her his poll tlkal ambitions In another direction. I Al I result of his action, however, Jud' i'Jnld was defeated, becaiiKO If he had re mained on the hench he could havo force the Burlington railroad to cease Its fisht on him. Public Krntlitirut Mtrons;. At the time Senator Burns Introduced hi:, bill to prevent th Judiciary merely being a stepping Htone to something higher In tho political scale tliero was much sentiment for such a measure over tho state. The bill passed the senate, but was defeated in the house. Since then sentiment apparently has not changed In Lancaster cotmty, so to moHi the race fur congress It will be aimostwecessary for Judge Frost to resign from the ben'h. In announcing hi candl ' dacy Will Hay ward said he intended to re sign as chairman of the state committee as sopn as it Is convenient for the cotnmlt- tee to meet. Y Should Judge Frost decide to resign and run for conKrb.is there will be a lively I scramble for his place as district Judge. I Governor Shallenberger will appoint a rLdnmnnra tn fill the vanancv until the elee- tlon, at which time a candidate will be elected to serve out the term. There will be many candidates f or the place, including probably Judge P. , James Cosgrave, who is at present ' county Judge. Judge Cos grave i was talked of for congress, but after considering the matter concluded not to get Into the race, but to hold onto what he has. Ills friends believe that, he will make a formidable candidate for the dis trict aguch .when the vacancy occurs. Normal .Hoard and Executive. Oovernor Shallenberger today to quiet a report that he had secured legal advice that he can legally remove the member of the Normal board, sulci there was no truth In the rumor. "President Crabtree of Peru has written me he will be in Lincoln next week,'' said 'the governor. "I am not pay ing any attention to the Normal board matter . now.

Iluteson. secretary-treasurer of the State Board of Examiners In Opto metry, in the annual report .of the board to Governor Shallenberger, asks that the law be so amended to give the board full power to revoke and cancel the certificates of any licensed optometrist not a regular licensed physician who advertises or uses the title "Doctor" or "Dr." as it is used to deceive and mislead the public. Th report shows that thirty-two have been c anted certificates during the year and that there are 262 optometrists In the state. The board has adopted the policy of notifying offenders against the state law before prosecution and In this way has kept out ijuacks without causing an arrest during th year. other recommendations made with the hope they will be enacted etato laws are these; I hat all persons practicing optometry span qualify before the Stat Board of examiner in upiombii y wiiethor the prac- uiiuucr uv uieuicai or non-meaicai. m oeior me candidate shall appear before the board for examination, he or sue. anaii preaent evidence of certain ele mentary educational qualifications. That the sale of ready-made spectacles which are row sold by Inexperienced people as merchandise be prohibited by lav. The board believes that great harm la done to the health of th public by this method of aelilng glasses. i no board believes thnt It should given greater scope In the matter of voklng certificates. Since there are now in the state about forty peripatetic optometrists who aro as a class a disgrace to the profession th board believes their practice ahould b prohibited by law and th beard should b given authority by law to revoke and can cel th certificate of any optometrist for proven professional Itinerancy. That th present law be ss amended to retire all certificates of exemption within three years after th paaaag of the act. Thl would not legislate uch peraona out Of bualneas aa now hold the certificates but would require them te aeeur suoh knowledge ef their profession aa It raqu'rad by th board and thus rat th standard of th profession.
