SUeutcnaht Ooyernor McKclvie still Per
sists that the supreme court mado a mis
take when It decided that the lleutey.int i
governor of Nebraska could not fill the '
office of governor following Ida term as ,
lieutenant governor and In a brief tiled
today In the supreme court makes nn j
other attempt to convince the court ut ,
an error otjudgmcnt. The brief Is file X (
toy w. T. Thompson, at one time attorney
general andlwho whllo Rttorncy tcem-rnl
save out an Interview In which he raid
he was s&ttatlel that no state office
could become governor Immediately fol
lowing hlr term as such state officer
However, Mr. Thompson looks at tho
thing In a different light now and says,
among other things, that It "was errone
ous for the court to hold that the lieu
tenant governor, who la required to pos
ses all the qualifications of a govenicr,
required to perform the duties of gov
ernor tn his absence and authorized to
perform the duties of no other state offi
cer, Is Ineligible and disqualified to be
elected to the office of governor."
The main point of the brief is thai In
the statutes and In all affairs of s'.te
the office of governor and lieutenant rov
crnor are connected together. The lalte
fill the Place of the former when he is
away and In all things is recognized by
the statutes as the governor In the ab
nence of the regular official. In th'i;
eligibility clause the. constitution says that
"no person shall be eligible to the office
of governor or lieutenant governor vho
shall have not attained tho age of SO
years," and - speaks of the other state
officers separately. The brief contends
that the lieutenant governor Is in a. class
by himself and that the other state offi
cers are the ones alluded to in the clause
of the constitution whloh prohibits them
from holding the offlve of governor .m
medlately folio-wing their terms aa state
officers.

Breen Files Brief
as Friend of Court
in Broadwell Case
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., May 23.-(Speclal.)-
In a brief filed by Attorney John P.
Breen, amicus curiae, In the supreme
court in the case brought by the county
of Douglas against Frank A. Broadwell
and the American Bonding and Trust
company covering the retention of fees
by the clerk of the district court of that
county for service a a member of the
board of Insanity commissioners tn addi
tion to the regular salary aa clork of the
court, ' In which the court of Douglas
county held that the county Commission
ers had no authority to compromise the
matter of feoa collected by the clerk of
the district court as Insanity cminllonor
and ordered the amount agreed in the
compromise to be returned, .Mr. Breen
denlos the right of the lower court to
mako such order and holds that as the
office of Insanity commissioner Is wholly
and separately apart fro mthe duties
prescribed by law for .the clerk of the
court that he Is entitled to the fees re
tained as a member of the Insanity com
mission. Mr. Breen' dtci several cases In whloh
One Individual may be - holding separate
offices and yet at the tame time they
are so completely dlffprent In their char
acter that they be held aa entirely for
eign to each other and the statutes
makes no provision for consolidation of
fees. He calls attention to the law
.Which requires the governor of the state
also to bea member of the state Insur
ance board, state banking board and
other boards, which have nothing to do
with the duties of governor.
He lays considerable stress on the law
or rather the 1809 amendment to tho law
which says "If the fees of said clerk
shall exceed $1,600 per annum In .counties
havlngb less than 25,000 Inhabitants, etc.,"
and -contends that the court should need
no further argument to convince It that
the law was Intended to cover and limit
fees of the clerk of the district court as
such officer and had nothing else to do
with any other office which he might be
holding.
The brief, which covers nineteen pages,
simply denies the right of the court to
consider the office of members of the in
sanity commission as any part or In any
way connected with the office of clerk
of the district court and therefore all
fees collected by the member of the for
mer are distinct and separate from those
collected as the latter officer and there,
fore must be considered as no part of
clerk of the court moneys.
