THE OMAHA SUNDAY BKB: JULY 26, 1914. 3-A Nebraska SNAG FOR NONPARTISAN LAW Bequest from Haigler for Inter pretation of Judiciary Aot. PETITIONS CAUSE THE DISPUTE Old Ijw Permitting I'nmlliliitr to Grt ou thr llnllnt HtUI Kxlatn nnd May nn Tnkcn Into tbp Court. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 25. (Speclal.)-Th non partisan Judiciary law passed by tho lot session of the legislature nnd which wlU receive Its first trial at the primaries Au gust 18. has already encountered difficul ties. There stands on the statute books of the state a. law enacted more than a neons of years reo that tnay do away with tho law as enacted. This statute pro vides that n candidate for any state of flea may be nominated, otherwise than at the primary, by filing with tho secretary of state a petition containing the blgnatures of 1,000 voterB. A candidate for county office may have his name placed upon the election ballot by filing with tho county clerk a petition havInK 200 signatures. Francis B. Moore of Haigler has asked Attorney General Martin to straighten out the apparent conflict Tho littomey gen eral today received a letter from Moore asking If under tho old statuto he may become a candidate for county Judge by Petition. Attorney General Martin lias declined to give an opinion on the ques tion, and should tho question bo further pursued It probably will be noccssary to take it up In court SIlKht Avoid I'rliuury. The advantaged of this law to the can didate, should it bo held as still valid, are obvious. Under tho nonpartisan Ju diciary law a candldat for any Judicial office cannot become a party candidate, and a petition bearing 2,000 signatures is necessary to assure the placing of a name on the primary ballot. Thus under the older statute the candidate could have his name placed on the ballot at tho genornl election by petition with a smaller num ber of signers and also avoid tho expense of the primary campaign. One clause of the recently enacted law, however, may render tho older statuto in 4ralld. This reads: "In no event shall the names of t tin tofflclal ballot in each utfico division be moro than twice the number of offices to bo filled at tho said general election." Should this clauso be held valid It will do away with the petition law, as under the nonpartisan act 'the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes In tha primaries will havo their names placed on the official ballot Elliott Gives Platform. Robert 3. Elliott, candidate for state superintendent of public Instruction, on the republican ticket, and for three years deputy in tho superintendent's office, Is sending out letters stating his qualifica tions and giving his platform. He has had long experience as a teacher anr teacher's trainer In Nebraska, He says in part after declaring the rural school needs greatest attention In Nebraska: I believe that more attention should be given to the teaching of the essentials such as reading, writing, arithmetic, (spelling and language in the public schools in order to obtain moro practical results; I favor the continuation uf full publicity of the flnancos of the office, nnd careful economy In the transaction of tha business of tho department in every detail. I approve of the wider use of the school plant as a social center, and would encourage tho establishment of lecture courses and literary societies for community participation nnd enjoyment. I feel that the school Interests of the state are too sacred to be marred by trivial personalities, and that educational policies aro living Issues meriting the thoughtful, unprejudiced consideration of the people. I believe in non-partisanship In the administration of school nffalrs. ICnlshts uf Luther Iluny.

Ceplecha Will Stick. John 'Ceplecha of Valley county, can didate for the republican nomination for governor of Nebraska, Is going to "stlok." Secretary of State Wait recently learned that Ceplecha's wife had died and tele graphed him to learn If there had been any change in his plans. Written on tho back of the telegram, when It was returned to the secretary of state's office, was Ceolecha's reply: "No, sir; I will not withdraw. Am going to stay; It cost me $100 and I am not going to loose It. You or anybody rise will not humbug me, I paid you (10 for to have my name on the republi can ticket and It got to stay there, sure Mike. This letter Is registered. You will surely admit you received It O. K." Across the face of Secretary Walt's telegram Ceplecha had written, 'Tlease do not bother me."
