(From a Staff Correspondent) Lincoln, May 26. (Special) About the liveliest proposition for discus sion around the, hotel corridors of Lincoln is the endorsement of candU dates for supreme judge by the State Bar association. i The entry of Supreme Judge Hamer as a candidate for reelection and also of-former Governor Aldrich, whose petitions are out over the state for the nomination, brings up a proposi tion which on the slightest provoca tion brings out an argument 'when ever men gather. ' This was no more in evidence than one evening the last week when a group of men sat in the shade in front of the Lindeli hotel The ballot of the bar association' had been given out and published by a Lincoln paper and one man asked if the people of the state were not going to have any chance to say who 'the candidate! for the supreme bench should" be. One man who appeared to be post ed in the matter said that the names proposed by the bar association -had been selected bv the members of the bar and that from that bunch, the members of the bar, would select six men for the candidates for the nom inations. t One Man Wants to Know. Another man wanted to know why the lawvers should select the candi dates. "Haven't the rest of the people any interest in the matter?" said he. "I understand that there are about 2,000 lawyers in the state. They give as a reason for wanting to select the memhers of. the supreme court, that j they know best who are the best nnal- iried for Jhe Places. Now 2,000 lawyers", I am informed that only about 150 of them ever appear before the supreme court, and if so I would like to know by what special dispen sation til PIP mtl ar n k. luthority alone which the statutes of the state confers udoii th mnni Our laws call for the nomination of candidates tor office in a primary by i iuc pcopie. "Are not the people who pay the costs of litigation and by their taxes pay the salaries of the supreme judges to have any right to say who these ' judges shall be?" ' "An awful howl went up from one i of the local papers here a short time ago," said another man. "when the republicans advocated a state conven - tion to recommend candidates for of- tice, charging that it was taking from the people their rights and that no set of men could dictate to the people who their candidates could be, and yet here is a bunch of men who have r already taken action and are sinHinr ' out ballots for the purpose of forcing upon me pcopie oi tne state a bunch of candidates, some of them whom .i nave never heard of. Don't Like Plan "Some of the names on that ballot are good men and 1 expect to vote . ' for them, but I don't like the proposi ti ui uaving io vote tor a cut and dried bunch of candidates that some , organization Js forcing upon me just because they have the power to do mi.

That they have upon their bal- ioi many nullify good men is appar ent, but there are a ereat msnv express the opinion that the endors : .merit is very much a negative issue. .

Potter, as district rep resentative of the committee on ed ucation and special training, of the War department has informed me that in all probability most of the 900 men who are to be assigned to our courses here at the University of Nebraska io begin June 15, will be called from within the limits of our own state. In order to avoid such misapprehension as has occurred in connection with similar calls in other states, I wish to call your artcntion to the work that is to be lone here. hand the object of it. Our men will be assigned in about the folowing way: Auto mechanics, 250; tractor mechanics, 90; wheel wrights, 20;" blacksmiths, 25; ma chinists, 50; radio operfctorV 425; woodworker!, 40. . Training to Be Practical. "It is not the object of these short courses to produce experts in any of these lines.

Practically all of the men will later be assigned to the same branch of army work in vhich they would now find themselves by follow ing the regular draft route and as signment to cantonment. "There is this difference, however, namely that each individual will have qualified himself in some one .of these branches in such a way that lie is' available to be taken from the ranks, without notice, to take tne place of some regular mechanic or operator and fulfill the duties to the best of his ability. This will ac complish the purpose of continuing work which might otherwise stop because of broken apparatus, inca pacity of the chauffeur, radio op erator, etc. "I feel that it is highly desirable that these things be called to the at tention of our local boards in such aJ . il., it.. i .i way mat mere may oe tne minimum of misunderstanding on the part of the incoming men as to their duties and our aims."
