Arthur Carr of Lincoln waa also reap pointed aa one of the sccretartoe of tha atate board ot health. (Joitf rnor tfrftlalaa. In tha appointment of Mr. Button tbla morning the governor doenis it necessary to make an explanation aa followa: In aelctln a Jula to succeed JudK HolWibock I hare taken Into account the from Dodge coonty. which la In theeart- pni prt of tha ataencr. ana dm, ynij". more juo'ciai wotk who any wumr In the flitrtrtct. That district has two Judges, and the voters thetnselree eoleeted one man from the eastern end of the district and an other from the central, or western part, and I think It well to observe the dlstrt imUon made by tha voters. Mr. Button, whom I have Just appointed, was asso ciated with Judge Hollenbeok in the law hurfDMi before tho Judge went on the ttstrirt bench end I find that he la very atronf lv endowed by mnrahors of tha bar, hoU from hi own and other oountlee In th district. -As county attorney of Dodge county he has had valuable experience In the public serrtoe and I feel that, ail than considered, ho la Ore logical man for the place. How soma) Tlew Choloa. The extreme eastern and of the dia trict haa had a Judge for forty years at Fremont and tho central part the same number of years at Columbus jand the western part never had a Judge, accord ing to the view taken by frtenda of can didates who are toft high and dry. Dr. E. Arthur Carr succeeds himself aa one of the secretaries of the State Board of Health, according to the appointment mads this morning. It had been expected tha Dr.. Carr would have the place aa Mr. Bryan had requested it. Bryan "Wanted Carr. The governor makes the following ex planation of the appointment: I have had the selection of & member of the board ot secretaries of the State Board of Health, under considera tion for a long time. The law under which this board Is created virtually requires me to appoint a member of tho Homeo pathic School of Medicine and this school has certified four names. Dr. Carr's being one of the four, and states that arty one of the. four would be satlsfao-i tory. T!ils. of course, does not represent the unanimous feeling of all the members of that school of medicine, but I have rarely found it possible to make an ap pointment that was unanimously ap proved. In addition to the central en dorsement from his school of medicine Dr. Carr has endorsements from a large number of physicians and surgeons, and I may say also that Mr. Bryan has ex pressed his desire that the doctor be re appointed. 1 have therefore. Issued a commission to Dr." Carr to succeed himself. No Funds to Publish Water Power Report ... (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Dec. l.-(Speolal.)

NONPARTISAN JLAW'S EFFECT Appears to Be Doing What Wti Ex pected of It When Passed. DEMOCRATS LANDING ERMINE Governor Morehead Ftlllaar Vara a el re vrllh Pari Mrs la Spite, of ProTlalona fop Kleetlre Places. (From a Staff Correspondent.) 1JNCOLN, Dec. 1. (Special.) When the legislature two years ago enacted the nonpartisan Judiciary law one of tha re publican senators Jocosely remarked that the tlUe of the bill oitght to read: "An act to enable democrats a chance to get on the supremo bench." When the bill was reported by the Judiciary committee the - report was for Indefinite postpone ment and the report of the committee waa adopted. Later Senator Grossman of Douglas, (ntroducer of the measure, who rm after the session was over became candidate for appointment as district Jude In the Omaha district, begged his colleagues to have tha bill reported again, and it was done. On final passage the bill passed, seven republicans voting against IL That there waa considerably more than pleasantry In the remark of tha senator at the time the bill waa passed la evi denced by the fact that under that law for the first time for several years a dem ocrat haa been elected supreme Judges However, the nonpartisan Intent of the law has not worked out In the three cases where the governor has been called upon to fill vacancies caused by resignations and death. In the Omaha district Judge Howard Kennedy, a republican, resigned to take a place on the State Board ot Control, but his place was filled by the appoint ment of a democrat When Judge Travis of Plattsmotith dlod the vaoanoy caused In tho Second district was flUed by the appointment of a democrat. When Judge Hollenbeok of tha Sixth Judicial district waa elected chief Justice of tha cup rem e court tlie governor appoints F. W, But ton, another democrat, all of which goes to show that the non-partisan Judicial act works only way and that the senator who wanted to change the title of the bill knew what he waa talking about The Opportunity of Opportunities for Clothes Buyers Hart, Schaf frier & Marx Guaranteed Suits and Overcoats No excuse needed for this sale.
