From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Dec. 12 (Special.)
VVhar constitutes the constitutional
provision "until his successor is
elected and qualified," has been held
by Deputy Attorney General Rowe
to mean exactly what it says, and
it that "elected and qualified" means
lv antil a successor is elected and not
!.k ippointed.
The proposition conies up to the
ittorney general s omce irom
Boone county over the death of a
candidate for re-election a few days
before election, too late for the com
mittee to nominate.
.Sheriff Otto Anderson .entered
the military service of the United
States and the board of county com
missioners appointed Capt. Frank
F. Willott of Albion acting sheriff.
Three days before election, after
having been selected by the repub
licans at the primary as a candidate
for re-election, Sheriff Anderson
iied in the service. The county board
appointed Captain Willott to serve
for : the remainder of Anderson's
'.erm.
Dead Man Elected.
-Deputy Attorney General Rowe
holds that as Willott was appointed
to fill the Anderson term and that
at Ahtierson would hold until a suc
cessor was elected and as no suc
cessor was elected, the term of Wil
lott, would run until a successor is
elected. Anderson, though dead, re
ceived a majority over his demo
cratic opponent. Mr. Rowe, how-
i ft ever, suggests that Willott be re
in qualified within the specified time,
.iwnich is within 1U days or Decem-
r ber 31. 1918.
t ;The county board, which ap
i. pointed Willott, is democratic and
tne new Doara coming in is aiso
democratic, while Willott is a re-
" mihliran f nnfciriprahlp interest is
taken in the matter for the reason
I,, that Willott is the national guard
?"' officer who was let out as com-
. mander of the Albion company of
f.ii the Sixth regiment just before that
! regiment was sent to Camp Cody.
" ' Shelved in Army.

- Suddenly he was ordered to turn
K over the command ot nis company
Eto Victor Halligan of North Platte.
Willott was very popular with his
men and but for his pleadings that
& they, accept the situation and stay
j 4v by the company, most of them
wou!d have quit. The only satisfac
trrionvhir Was ever able to get was
L that he was too old. After his com
pany had gone he was importuned

enth, but refused.

But Twelve Democrats
Are Sure of Seats in
' Coming Legislature
Lincoln, Dec. 12. (Special.)
Perhaps a baker's dozen, democrats
will be all that will be found in the
lower branch of the Nebraska legis
lature when that body convenes Jan
uary 7. It is now apparent that but
12 are sure of seats while up in the
Fifty-fifth district it will take the of
ficial count.
This district is composed of Rock,
Brown and Keya Paha counties and
newspapers have been carrying the
name of A. L. Moyer of Ainsworth,
republican, as the successful candi
date. A letter received in Lincoln
states that the democratic candidate,
A. 0. Smith, was elected by 11 ma
jority. The votes of the two counties of
Keya Paha and Rock show that
Smith is ahead with Brown to hear
from. Secretary of State Pool is
expecting the official vote of Brown
county soon. 'If Smith is elected
the democrats will have 13 in the
house and three in the senate, a total
on joint ballot of 16.

TEE superiority of Atwood
Grapefruit is not an acci
dent. From the first planting
the Atwood Grapefruit Co.
has sacrificed everything for
QUALITY. An initial expense
of hundreds of thousands of
dollars was incurred, while
everything that scientific cul
ture and experience could
suggest was done to produce
QUALITY. Even then some
trees at maturity bore simply
good grapefruit, but not good
enough for the Atwood Brand.
These trees were cut down
and replaced by superior va
rieties. So through selection and
cultivation;" has ': evofved the
delicious ATWOOD GRAPE
FRUIT "the Aristocrat of
the Breakfast Table."
