LINCOLN, May 2S.-(Spec!al.) " The
handi are the hands of Eaau, but the
voice Is the voice or Jacob.' Vets wary
than the ancient patriarch, the attorney
general has mistaken the Insidious
whisper of Wall street for the 'voice
from the prairie,' " are the closing words
of a brief filed In the supreme court by
Burkett. Wilson & Brown. E. C. Btrode
and W. O. Temple, attorneys, acting as
friends of the court In the case brought
by State Auditor Howard testing tho con
stitutionality of the code Insurance law
passed by the last legislature.
People and newspapers In Lincoln
which challenged the right ot tho state
auditor to question tho validity of the
code bill and censuring him roundly for
refusing to turn over the Insurance de
partment under his charge to an Insur
ance commission created by the bill, are
now holding up their hands In horror to
think -that attorneys with tho standing
of those filing the brief as friends of the
court should make charges that tho bill
was framed by Wall street In the Inter
est of the big Insurance companies of the
east and are wondering If such can bs
true.
nnrked by nisr InterentN.
While the code bill was up beforo the
legislature at the time ot Its passage It
was notorious that It was being backed
by the big Interests of the cast and tho
brief filed In the supreme court refers
to that fact However, they were carried
away with the Idea that Auditor Howard
was prejudiced In favor of the big in
surance Interests' and allowed the very
Interests they charged him with being
friendly to to pull the strings which
brought about the passage of the bill. In
ppeaking of the bill, the brief recites:
"A comparative study of the other
state insurance codes discloses the fact
that they all contain reciprocal or re
taliatory provisions substantially like
section 24 of the Nebraska code Insurance
la,w.
"As a result of these retaliatory provi
sions, all the provisions ot the Nebraska
law which discriminate against foreign
companies are -made to operate to the in
jury and prejudice ot Nebraska Insurance
companies transacting business In such
other states denying to them the right
to a notice and hearing beforo their cer
tificates of authority ore revoked In for
eign states, denying to them the right to
a stay of such order of revocation on
appeal to the courts, making them subject
to unreasonable penalties for removing
to the federal courts suits by which any
citizen or citizens of such foreign states
are parties, and excluding from' all for
eign states all Nebraska companies under
four years of age.
"While It was apparently an easy mat
ter to convince the Nebraska legislators
that they were doing a patriotic thing In
thus discriminating against foreign Insur
ance companies In the effort to create a
monopoly in Nebraska, for the benefit of
Its home; companies, the advocates of this
law were careful not to tell' the legislature
aboutthe- '-'retaliatory provisions'-'- found
In all the other state insurance codes,
which make operative- against Nebraska
companies in all the other states every
provision of .the Nebraska law that dis
criminates against foreign companies
here. The result Is to confine the opera
tions of many of our Nebraska companies
to their home state and bar them out of
richer fields offered by older and more
populous states. So that the sections of the
on in nueation mentioned in. this subdi
vision of our brief appear to have been,
reallv aimed at tne aomesuc companies
of Nebraska, under the ingenious pretense
of protecting them In a monopoly of their
home state. All of the companies In Ne
braska (and we have many splendid com
panies) are practically young companies,
and It is too apparent for discussion that
th Incriminations herein discussed fall
r-with deadliest effect upon the younger
companies.
Introduced In Fourteen States.
The brief then goes Into a short history
of the Insurance law and the influences
which prompted Its Introduction and pas
sage, making the charge that the blU In
troduced In tho Nebraska legislature was
framed in New York City and was In
troduced In fouvteen states at the same
time, and that It was defeated In all states
except Nebraska, Arizona and Idaho.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 28 (Speclal.)
If there Is anyone In tho First congres
sional district who has not made up his
mind to become a candidate for congress
now Is the time to speak up nnd get In
with the mnjorlty. The Biblical admoni
tion that "many are called but few
chosen" Is liable to come to past), but
that does not hinder any ratrlot who
feels that the country needs his services
In making his wants known and getting
In while the water Is fine.
Last night a bunch of something like a
dozen business and professional men of
Lincoln held a conference at tne Llndell
h6tel and ns a' result Senator Crawford
Kennedy Is being brought out today as
one of the possible aspirants for the
nomination for congress on the republican
ticket In the First district
AVIde Acquaintance.
These men point to the tact that Sen
ator Kennedy is well known all over the
district, has a host of warm friends In .
every city and hamlet and that his close i
connection with political events and pub
lic men all over tho nation mnke him a
man who can represent Nebraska In a
manner which will place it on the map
In Washington as It has never been
placed for many years.
Another man who will probably file for
the republican nomination in this district
is State Superintendent James K. Delzell.
Mr. Delzell. would neither deny nor af
firm the statement made that he would
file, buf there Is little doubt but that the
first of' next ''week will see ljls filing In
the office of th,e secretary. of state. The.
proposition of going up against Dr. A. O. I
Thomas;' the deppsed prosldent of the
normal school at Kearney, whom Delzell
Is' accused' of being responsible for be
heading, is possibly .responsible for the
switching to the congressional track by
the state superintendent. Should he tile
It Is probable that Bobert I. Elliott, dep
uty to Mr, Delzell, will file for the re
publican nomination for Btate superin
tendent Aldrlch Mar Change.
Another well authenticated rumor this
morning Indicates that If ex-Governor
Aldrlch can be assured that the right
kind of a republican will be nominated
to oppose Governor Morehead, If he Is
nominated, that he will get into tho con
gressional race for the republican nomi
nation. It has been known for some'
time that Mr. Aldrlch has Washington
aspirations, more especially to tho United
States senate, but as the road to that
goal has In the past been more sure
from the congressional track than from
any other source, he may switch to that
thoroughfare.
This would mean that the republicans
of this district would have the tack of se
lecting from the following very able
talent:
Crawford Kennedy, Lancaster county;
Frank E. Kdgerton, Lancaster county;
Chester li, Aldrlch. Lancaster county;
George F. Tobey, Lancaster county
James E. Delzell, Lancaster county; Wil
bur Anness, Otoe county: Charles Mar
shall, Otoe county; Matthew H. Gerlng,
Cass county.
There are still five counties In this dis
trict which have not furnished a candi
date for congress on the republican
ticket Johnson, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee
and Blchardson, but something like six
weeks are left for filing.
