THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY. JANUARY 15. 1918. "71 Nebraska POOL TAKES VIEW LAVPROVIDES FOR .SOLDIERS' VOTE - Secretary of State, Backed by , Former State Legal Off icer, - Holds no Need to Call Extra Session. 1 -i - 0 (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 14. (Special.) Secretary of State Chaise Pool re fuses to agree vf th the governor over calling a special1 session of the legis lature tore-enact a law allowing sol diers to vote. Governor Neville believes the law is non-compus mentis, or something like that and that it is not broad enough to meet the present situation. Secretary of State Pool says the law is broad enough in that it gives him the power to fix things up without the necessity of going to the expense of a special session. In this contention - he is backed up by-former Deputy At torney general jjexter l. Jiarrett. Cite the Constitution. There are two provisions of the con stitution, according to these experts, which "have been assumed to apply to ' the situation as follows: Section. 3, Article 7 of the constitu tion reads: "Everv elector in the actual military service ot the United i States or of tin's state, and not in the regula army, "may exercise the right of suffrage at such place and under such regulations as may be provided by law." ' j Section 4 of the same article says: ''No soldier, seaman or-marine in the army and navy of the United States shall be deemed a resident of the state in consequence of being stationed therein." Contention of Pool. Messrs. Pool and Barrett contend electors of this state in the military service of the United States or of the state may vote under such reg ulations as are provided by law, pro vided they arc not in the regular army and that the words, "in the regular army" in section four of the constitution refers specifically to per ' sons, who arc not electors of this, state, but may be electors of some other state and meiely stationed in this state. , They, further claim that when the legislature passed the act of last win ter it provided that "every elector of the state who is in the military serv ice of the state or th United States and because of said service is absent on election day, he shall be entitled to vote as such, elector.'' The act pro vides for the appointment. of commis sioners by the governor, and among the duties required of them is "in proper season to proceed tcv the sev eral camps, fortresses, or wnere mili tary organizations or units of electors of this state are stationed to receive the ballots . of such sofdiers as are electors of this state, whih said bal lots shall be. received ,by the commis sioners not more than 30 nor less than, 10 days prior to the first Monday pre ceeding any special or general elec tion," - How Power Derived. The question has, been raised that it will be a physical-impossibility for the commissioners to visit each place as provided, but the claim is made that the commissioners may appoint suf ficient deputies to carry out the law. The secretary of state has the power under the act itself, so they claim, to adopt and enforce any rule or order necessary to carry out the require ments of the law and quote section 3 of the measure. Secretary of State Pool insists that it is not necessary to go to the ex pense of callirrgLan extra session to fix up the law. The legislature in its eco- uuutiiai spasm jiuieu 10 provide any ' appropriation for outtine the law into effect, and Mr. Pool is of the opinio tpat a dehciency can be created to z cover the expense, and thus save the expense of calling the legislators to gether" to fix up a bill that already gives power to the secretary of state to fix up. " ' x S Everybody knows that Charlie Pool is some fixer and if anybody can doctor up an unworkable democratic law so it will be a,ble to sit up and take nourishment, Mr. Pool is the individ ual who can do it. Whv not let Charlie do it. ..: ; Half of Y. M. C. A. War Fund Is Raised at Beatrice . Beatrice, Neb., Jan. , 14. (Special.)
