UtNCOLW. Kab.. Mar JO (Special.) With
tha announcatnent by Chairman William
Hnxiwtw o the republican stats com
mittaa of the meeting to bs held In this
eJty Xrma e for the purpose of apportlon
tnr delegates to ths atata eon-eotion
eoraas the answer to a vacation which baa
arlaen In many promloent republican's
minde whether or not auch a convention
would b held this rear.
Tha ans-Qu-tarsoa primary law which
waa enacted at tha lata acaalaa of tha legis- .
laturo made no mecUnn of a atata con- !
ratios. Later, however. It waa dlinmml '
that bo actions of tha sew bill repealed
what la known aa aectlon 1183 of tha former
law, which pt-orVSea that political parties
shall bold atata eonrentkma on the lost
Tuesday Jn July of each year. While this
section la not specifically mentioned In tha
repealing clauses of the new law. the bill
pro-rid ra that all acta and parts of acts fn
conflict therewith are repealed. The old
aectlon, so far as It pertains to tha hold
In of state oonrentlons. Is not In conflict
wtth tha new law, therefore by aererai of
those who hre bean Investigating tha mat
ter It la thought to still be effective.
Tha clause of section llflj of the old- law
prorMea that delegates to tha national
eotrrentlon shall be aelected by state or
state and congressional conventions, no
method of such selection, however, being
eapllcitly defined.
This Is In direct conflict with tha new
law which provides that such delegate
hall bo selected at tha primary conven
tion to be held In August, four delegates
at larga from the state and two from each
congressional district. Each, according to
tha terms of the new law. Is to go on the
Primary ballot at tha request of SOO peti
tioners, tha candidates from tha various
districts to have signers from at least two
thtrds of the counties of the state. .,
UwrtA View af Act.
Chairman Hueenetter has consulted As
sistant Attorney General Frank E. Edger
ton. with the result that he has called his
committeemen to gather here to go over
thle matter wtth others' which will be taken
up at tha meeting. Attorney Edgerton be
lieves that part of the old law la repealed,
but aaee.ru that In his opinion that part
of tha old law relating to the holding of
conventlona Is unrepealed while that part
of tha new law relating to the selection of
delegates to tha national convention Is ef
fective. Thta year the primaries will be
held In August and tha state convention
In July, but In presidential years the new
law pro rides for the holding of primaries
lu April soma time before tha state con
ventions. With tha sound of battle from afar goad
ing prospective candidates on to their best
efforts, several who have for soma tlms
past been working quietly have not been
able to restrain themselves, and either
through their friends or they themselves
have announcedheir Intentions as to the
suprenja.coaxrt uol Feral t board of regents
or "railway commission elections. It la
said that all three judges of tha supreme
court whose terms centre this year have a
desire to succeed themselves Judges Rose.
Root and Lretton. Judge 1 Lamer of Kear
ney has already put la his application for
tha position and la letting very little
grass grow under his footsteps la his ef
forts to bag the prise. Judge Albert of
Columbus, who has been pushed forward
by willing friends, is beginning to see a
great light and would occasion no surprise
O ha shortly declared himself. C. A. Ep
person of Clay Center, who waa formerly
a supreme court eommlaalolner, has been
endorsed by members of tha bar of his
county and It la said will turn no deaf
ear when opportunity beckons. Judge H.
a Dungan. of Heatings, who Is at present
on the district bench, it Is said by Adams
county men has designs on a seat oa the
supreme bench, which Is alternating with
urgent requwits from friends to stave off
that ambition until 1912 and then make a
fight for congress from tha Fifth dis
trict. Judge Cobbey of Beatrice, who for
years past has been the man who wrote
and Indexed lawa of the atata, has shown
little hesitancy la tha matter and haa al
ready taken out advance filing papers for
a place.
Cauadiatetea far Kes;eata.
For regents. C A. Knajp of this city
and J. El sillier have algnlfled their In
tentions, the former on his own behalf
and the) Utter at tha earnest and active
solicitation of his friend. Numerous
other names hats been auggested over
the state at tha behest of friends and
near frlenda. but so far no definite Indi
cations aa to the maybe candidates have
beea forthcoming. For railway commis
sioner, JSV. J. Purse, appointed by Gov
ernor Shailenberger, la said to be well
suited with tha place and rather desirous
of holding onto it for three years more,
the length of the unexpired Cowgill term,
benator Ollu of Ord who foaUTed the
stock yards bill until It had robbed the
ago of maturity and had Ua properly
l'sassd upon by the legislature, la said to
be of the opinion that uis aid In Interpret
ing Its provisions In the future might
be a good thing for the state and that
aooordingly might mak the race. Peter
U on season, the republican, who filed and
failed last fail to land the vacuo, a
erted recently that he had no desire to
take up the political biudun further and
that be would not be a candidate this
