LINCOLN. Neb., Dec 1 (Special Tele
gram.) Oorernor Morefcead today ap
polnted F. W. Button of Fremont, county
attorney of Dodge county, as Judge of
the Sixth Judicial district, to fUl the va
canoy o&used by the election of Judge
Hollenbeok aa chref Justice. Dr. E.
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.

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
