L.INCOIJC. April 8pe lal.) The
claim of Alma. Harlan county, for the
location of the southwest agricultural
school were presenter! to the board of
public land's and buildings by ex-Oovernor
Rhallenbera-er and other citizens of that
county this afternoon. Alma offers to give I
the state either of two eltes. oneof 320
K-res, the other of - acres and either
adapted to the work of the school. The
bill as passed appropriates $100,000 for the
foundation of the work and a number of
towns Including Alma. Holdrege and North
riatte hava been trying to secure the
school. It was asserted on the floors of
both chambers that the board of public
lands and buildings had already decided
to placa the school at Holdrege, but Bhal
lenberger and other Harlan county men
havs been working hard for1 the appropria
tion and nowexpect a chance at the school.
The others who were with the ex-govrnor
wars J. O. Thompson, Phillip Bveraon,
William Hsscall, J. O. ,Oould and Joseph
Boehler.
Mas Baa Uowsi by yrle.
Callen Thompson, Wi O stret, for esv
eral years councilman from the Sixth
ward, was run down by a motor cyclist
Thursday morning and sustained several
scalp wounds besides a bad shock. Claude
Mmmons, tlie rider, was hurled several
fset over tha handlebars and was knocked
unconscious by the fall. Both men were
taken Into the O street garage at the cor
ner of Twenty-fourth and O streets and
physicians were called to care for the two.
Mr. Thompson was waiting for a car at
Twenty-fourth and O streets when the
cyclist rounded the corner from the north.
Mtmmons did not recover consciousness
for nearly an hour. Two of his front teeth
were knocked out and others were
loosened. Pr.'W. H. Slattery hurried him
to his office, Where he bound up the scalp
wounds. ' The physician doea not believe
his patient-Is seriously Injured.
No Candidate for Mayoralty.
At a meeting held Wednesday afternoon
at the Muuger building the dry forces de
cided that no petition candidate would be
named to enter the mayoralty race at tiie
next election.
JUDICIARY YETO WILL STAND
(Continued from First rage.)
r.lsions by tha fact that supreme court
Judges happened to be members of a psr
tlcular party. These proponltlons will be
conceded by every reputable practicing at
torney In the state of Nebraska, who ever
appeared before the supreme court of Ne
braska from Its organisation down to tha
present time.
Beginning with the early decisions of
Judge Iake and Judge Maxwell, coming
down- to the later days of Judpe .SI las A.
HoM&mb, tha popuftstt n ho has rendered
somaxof tha best considered opinions we
have. Including the clean-cut. masterful
analyses and well' considered opinions of
Judge Hulllvan, a democrat, and finishing
with tha opinions of the venerable rhlef
Justice of today. Manoah B. Reese, and
who can hava the hardihood to say that
these men 'were even unfair and unjust
and hava rendered a decision or entertained
a thought of giving a man the worst of
It because he was a republican or a demo
era t or a populist T
These men Just mentioned have made
history in Nebraska. Their opinions stand
out as tha landmarks of the Jurisprudence
In this state; and yet these men are the
product of "partisan politics." Tn char
acter, ability. Integrity and in consclen-
tlous devotion to duty, they are so far
above tha Insinuations of a measure like
this aa to make tha proposition of this
measure unspeakable.
Sill ta a Misnomer.
fteennd. This rnate File No. 324 Is a mis
nomer. While It prevents a candidate
from running as the representative of any
political party, It does, In effect, provide
for and make absolutely certain that a
BoaA may bo brought out for either the
an erne Judgeship or a district Judgeship,
who Is tha candidate and representative of
the special and well organized interests
of this state. o In attempting to get rid
f an Imaginary evil, thla measure would
force tha Judiciary of this state Into the
hands of the liquor trust and other special
Interests, which Is Infinitely worse than
any real or Imaginary situation In partisan
. palltlca could possibly be.
t'nder tha provision of this act. a candi
date cannot na vouched Tor or run on a
ballot aa a republican, democrat, populist
or the representative of any other political
organisation, but he has to stand out
a Ion and by himself and Is allowed to
spend a few hundred dollars only In his
own behalf In the furtherance of his can
didacy. The large maSKes of people will
bo uninformed as to his qualifications, and
as to who he Is and what he Is. He will
with great difficulty, be able to get a peti
tion of t,0 voters, and If this high office
seeks the man. this man will nut circulate
his own petition.
Then who will undertske the tak of
furnishing petitions for candidates and sup
porting cantdates? Interested brewers and
Other special Interests. ( who seek lo con
trol elections snd courts, sre hy this bill
free to furnish petitions, candidates and
money for aelftsli and slnlHter ends. The
republican party and the democratic party
and the populist party are by this bill
stigmatised and forbidden In any way.
' either directly or Indirect!), to bring forth
a candidate and to stand for him. but the
breweries and special Interests are left
with a fvee hand They can furnish all of
the money and all the sinews of war neces
sary. '
Mqwor Interests Is Politics.
In spite of the greatest effort and pre
caution that the people can laUe. this
liquor trust or brewery combine hss con
trolled the IrglnluKnn and tlie coritluct of
many legislators at various times In the
state of Nebraska, land this is not ancient
history, either), snd it is Idle tn assert
that -they will not exercise the special
privileges which this bill gives them. They
once Interested thenilvea to the extent
Of defeating the present chief Justice of
the supreme court because, as a Judge,

what show will he stand to have his claims
considered as asunit tlie can'ilie who i?
financed and backed hi IntTexts t h At nant
favorable decisions and who sre in control
of millions of monev? These secial inter -set
a are left with a free hand and to spend
wtibcot Uult, money to defeat a good
Judge and elect an opponent of their owa
election.
If tills bill Is what Its name Indicates
and Is leally intended to provide for anon-
partisan Judiciary, why doea It not place
the same limitations upon the corporations
that It does upon the political parties? If
the political parties tr prohibited from
naming and electing Judges, would It not
be fair to prohibit the breweries and other
special Interest's from contributing In a
pecuniary way to the election of some fa
vorite candidate?
If this bill is really nonpartisan In sub
stance and In meaning, as well as In name,
It would-provlde that any corporation that
contributed money or other tnfluenco or
became active on behalf of a candidate,
the representative of said corporations
should be deemed guilty of a felony and
be punished by Imprisonment In the peni
tentiary snd the corporation Itself sub
jected to a heavy fine.
The?e facts and reasons are sufficient to
prove that this bill Is misnomer and Is
nonpartlxan only In name.
Would Not Improve Jadlrtarr.
Again I assert that the Judiciary of this
state will not be Improved nor the In
tegrity of the courts maintained by taking
from political parties the right to nominate
Judges and turning It over to the breweries
and special Interests, which profit by mak
ing or unmaking Judicial officers. Kver
since the foundation of our republic. Judges
have been elected through political par
ties. This system may have its faults and
It may be wrong, but a method which
leaves the breweries free, as this bill does,
to make such nominations without re
straint la Infinitely worse. With the mod
ern Independent political thought that now
prevails, especially In Nebraska, and with
the exactions and high requirements that
the people Insist upon in their public serv
ants, political parties recognize that It Is
worse than foolish to place a candidate In
nomination for district or supreme Judge
unless he be a man of sterling quality and
In every way qualified for the place to
which he aspires, and to do-anything short
of this meets with overwhelming defeat
So It appears then, that If there had been
some real abuse growing out of Judt
being elected by partisan politics. It has
been removed by the people themseives,
who now vote for the 'man and for what
he stands for and for what he la capable
of doing, and for what they believe he
will do. They ascertain all of theee things
through the public press, public speeches
and the recommendations of political par
ties that stand definitely for some specific
policies and principles of government.
Again, another objection to this bill la,
that It shows an attempt to muzzle the
press and free speech for the protection of
objectionable candidates. The bench, as
well as all . other publio stations, have
been purified through Just criticism by the
press, and unworthy candidates or men
holding public stations have been defeated
or made to quit public service by reason
of the exposure contained In Just critic
Ism. Theiie safeguards, not only should
not. but they cannot be taken away by the
legislature, because such a proposition Is
contrary to the fundamental law of our
state and of our land. On Rrounds of pub
lie policy, then, this bill should not re
ceive executive approval.
As chief executive of this state. I yield
to no man In my desire for an Independent
honest and fearless Judiciary, representing
all the people, without regard to party In
tere-st or class; and all of this Is abso
lutely essential to the preservation of pur
liberties, our property and our happiness,
But this measure, both in provision, spirit
and Intent Is antagonistic to these prlncl
plea and desires.
I BUI l..ot Nonpartisan.
rnis diii, in us present rorm. not onlv
could not be nonpartisan, but It would he
Impossible to make It nonpartisan from
the source from which It emanates.
It was put through under the spur and
the whip of the party lash.
It hss been protected and championed
and partisan followers have been rallied
to Its support by that corporation appointed
boss, the chairman of the democratic state
central committee, and many a time. If left
to their own Judgment'and their own con
science, democrats tn the house would not
have supported this, but for the Influence
and the cajolery of the Individual hereto
fore referred to, who, for thirty days at
least, was ably assisted by another dan
gerous and pernicious lobbyist on tha floor
of the house. In tha person of one, Arthur
Mullen, late attorney general of the state
of Nebraska.
But there Is another viewpoint from
which to consider this bill and that Is
from Its legal phaae. It will be noticed
that In Pestlon 2 of Article III of our
constitution which provides as follows: "No
law shall be amended unless the new art
contains the section or sections so amended
and the section or sections so amended
shall be repealed." Now. It will be noticed
that If you make a comparison of the
proposed law with existing statutes, you
will find that no specific mention Is made
in the title, body or repealing clause of
the act to any other statute. The direct
primary law, passed In 1W, Is a complete
and corrrprehenslve act for the nomination
of candidates for all offices. This law was
for the nomination of candidates for all of-
rices. 1 his law was amended in 19rX an))
would it nof be difficult to say with any
great amount of precision Just how many
of these provisions became effectlye when
the act of lflo? still retains many of Its
original features? The act of 1907 did not
repeal the statutes which gsve the elec
torate of the state the right to nominate
candidates by petition. At all times in the
past, the legislature has provided a method
for nominating candidate lo fill vacancies
caused by the death, resignation or re
moval from office. Senate Hie No. 321. the
measure tinder consideration, ignores all
of these contingencies which the uncer
tainties of life make not only possible, but
pj-uhahle.
Then again.' It la not at all certain, and
In fact I think It Is clesr that under the
provisions of this act. a voter would be
prohibited from writing any other name
on the ballot than those already appear
tug on the printed ballot and to my mind, j
It Is a serious question whether the legis
lature, has any authority to thus Ignore,
and tn fact to disfranchise, an Individual
or to see no virtue or merit In the man
nominated at a convention, primary or by
petition.
toatraveaee Hill of Hlghta.
Section Z! of the Bill of Rights provides
as follows; "that all elections shall be free,
and there shall be no hindrance or empedi-
niciit to the right of a qualified voter to
exarcise the elective franchise." In my
opinion, this measure is in contravention
absolutely to thla provision of the Bill of
Rights because it not only does not pro
vide means whereby the Indenpent voter
may cast his ballot tor some other than
the nominees, but even goes farther and
prohibits It.
I'nder these circumntances and facts. It
cannot be said that thla measure grants
to tha non-partisan ballots tha protection
of the Australian ballot law.
This measure then, on the whole. In my
opinion. Is not only non-partisan, but In
tensely partlaan and vicious from nearly
every viewpoint. It would fall, of necessity,
In every way and In every particular to
perform the mission for which It la pro
tended to be enacted.
If this measure had a saving clauss tn
It whereby any voter should not ba pro
vented from writing on his ballot the same
of any person for whom ho desired to vote
for any office, and further had tha right
to hava such vote counted the same as if
printed on the ballot and marked by the
voter and should further provide that any
other voter may have a written memoran
dum or paper to assist him In making or
preparing his ballot and had It further
provided that a blank space should be left
on the ballot whereby an elector might
write the name of any person for whom
he wished to vote and whose name la not
printed on the ballot, than this measure
would not be quite so rankly partisan as
It Is. But It proposes to limit an elector to
vote for the man whose name Is placed
upon the ballot by the provisions of t,hts
act or not vote at all. Aa a matter of
law this cannot be done and such a limita
tion of the right of tha elector aa la con
tained in this law makes the measure,
In my Judgment, unconstitutional. At best,
the provisions In this Important regard In
this measure are wholly ambiguous. In
definite and uncertain.
The objections heretofore mentioned, be
ing plain and obvious, I cannot bring my
self to approve this bill and therefore veto
the same.

SOCIALIST MAYOR OF BEATRICE
Newly Elected Official of that City
la Driver of Sprinkler and
Oil Wagon.
BEATRICE. Neb.. April . (Becial.)
William E. Griffin, the socialist, who was
elected mayor of Beatrice laat Tuesday
over J. 8. Rutherford, the choice of the
republicans and democrats, was born In
Jefferson county, Iowa, and came to this
county about ten years ago. Prior to
locating in this city two years ago ho op
erated a threshing machine in the vicinity
of Dlller, Jefferson county, Nebraska. For
the laBt year he has been employed hero aa
a driver of the street sprinkler and one of
the wagons belonging to the Standard OH
company.
When Griffin's boom was first launched
for the mayor's office It was looked up as
a huge Joke, but last Saturday things took
a serious turn and everybody on the streets
was talking Griffin. A report was circu
lated to the effect that Mayor Rutherford
had attempted to have the ballot submit
ting the question of license or no license
changed In favor of the wets by calling a
special meeting of the city council. An
other report was started that the contraot
awarded to the Math hews Construction
company of Kansas City for building the
new water works plant was Irregular, and
soon after theseVeports spread throughout
the city tha tide changed from what seemed
to be a walkaway for Rutherford to ap
parent defeat. It seemed to bo In the' air
that everybody wanted Griffin, and when
the votes were counted Tuesday evening
he came out of the fight victorious by a
majority of 127.
When a party of newspaper mea at
tempted to Interview Mr. Griffin here
Wednesday, he stated he was not seeking
notoriety and did not care to talk. 8. A.
l,ayton, another socialist," who was with
Mr. Griffin, volunteered, some information
concerning the party In Beatrice.
"We have a 'local' here In this city," said
Mr. Layton. "with a membership of about
forty, and Inside of two months it will
have 200. All the candidates have signed
resignations and sent them to the secre
tary of the party, Clyde Wright. When
ever any of our officers do sny crooked
work or violate the principles of the party,
the secretary sends In his resignation and
he has to step down and out."
Public ownership of all public utilities,
such as gas, electric, telephone, telegraph,
water plants and the like, and of railroads
and mines Is the aim of the party. Mr.
Griffin says that he stands In favor of the
acquisition of these things as rapidly a
possible.- He also ptomlses to secure parka
and places of amusement for all the people,
and to cut down the rate of taxation.
Mr. Griffin Is a man about fifty-three
years of sge, and has acquired a small
home In Glenover, a suburb of Beatrice,
through his efforts as a laborer.
