(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sfpt. 17. (Special. The ques
tion of when the name of a candidate may
be certified to the secretary of state to fill
a vacancy on the election ticket this fall
he been referred to the attorney general.
Chairman Manuel of the populist state com
mittee asked the question of the secretary
of state ao that the populist committee
Oould get together and select a candidate
for governor to fill the vacancy on the
ticket caused by the declination of Gov
ernor 8hallervberger to accept the nomina
tion. The attorney general will hold that If the
name Is certified to the secretary of state
previous to the time when he certifies the
names of candidate to the various county
clerks It will be entitled .to a place on the
ticket. Under the law the secretary of state
must certify the names of the candidates
to the county clerks fourteen days before
the general election.
The attorney general ha not yet written
sun opinion for rhe secretary of state, but
hi examination of the statutes has satis?
fled him, so he said, thst the primary
erection law Is capable of almost any In
terpretation, in fact, most any opinion' on
any phase of the law Is subject to criticism
and at the same time there may be reason
for the Interpretation. The law provides
that within three daya after a committee
has been notified of a declination It muat
proceed to select a candidate and certify
the same to the secretary of slate. Yet It
holds, that any candidate may decline a
nomination up to within fifteen days of
the election. As the secretary of state cer
tifies the candidates to the county clerks
fourteen days before ejection that would
not give the committees the necessary
three days time.
Mr. Thompson will hold that the party
committee naa authority to nominate a
candidate to fill a vacancy. The session of
the primary law which provides that the
name of no candidate ptinted on a ballot
shall be written In on another ballot Mr.
. Thompson holds does not affect the general
election bailot, a It is legal for a political
committee to select a candidate to be voted
on at the general election.
Chairman Manuel has called a meeting
of the populist committee, to be held In
Lincoln neit, Friday, so he telephoned the
office of the secretary of state today. In
the meantime none of the populist nom
inees ha withdrawn, except Governor
Nhallenberger.
K BARNEY. Neb., Sept. 17. (Special Tele-grani.)-The

FVLLERTON, Neb., Sept. 17.-8peclal
Telegram.) The new district superin
tendent of the Methodist church for ths
Omaha district will probably not be a mln
later from among the pastors of the con
ference or the state. Bishop Nuelsen has
declined to say whom he will appoint for
the position, but It ha berr Intimated that
the me.n selected will ,b one from the
east, probably Chicago, who Is thoroughly
well acquainted with city missionary work.
It was decided today to hold the next

an opening for Rev. Dr. Gorst, whose term
as superintendent of the Omaha district ex
pires, the Rev. D. D. Roush. Ph. D.. pastor
of Columbus, will transfer out of this con
ference, thus making It possible to bring a
man Into the conference for the Omaha
district and for Dr. Oorst to go to Colum
bus.
Senator Burkett was "today Introduced to
the conference and made a short address
of greeting. Among the things he said
was: 'That a politician cannot become a
preaoher, but a preacher ought to become
a politician. This year we have a great
moral question to settle In the state of Ne
braska. You preachers may have differed
with me In many questions of the past, but
no preacher has a right to differ with me
In this great moral question. I have never
had the nerve to speak In a church on this
great question. Our party and every church
of every denomination must organise and
win the tempt, ance fight of Nebraska. Go
home and organise a 'home club' to pro
tect the homes, the boys and the girls."
