SUES TO ENJOIN
ELECTION FOR
CONSTITUTION
Action Filed In District Court
by Benjamin S. Baker
Aganst Election Commis
sioner Moorhead.
A suit to enjoin Harley G. Moor
head, as election commissioner for
Douglas county, from holding an
election for candidates to the state
constitutional convention in Novem
ber, and from spending public funds
fn preparation for the election, was
filed in district court yesterday by
Benjamin S. Baker, Omaha at
torney. Mr. Baker alleges that the 19'9
legislature act providing for the
nomination and election of member
ship at the constitutional conven
tion is in direct violation of section
2, article 15, of the state constitu
tion, and section 22, article 1, known
as the bill of rights.
Section 2, article IS. provides that
if three-fifths of the members of
each branch of the state legislature
find it necessary to call a convention
to revise or amend the stite consti
tution, they shall recommend this
convention to the electors .to vote
at the next election of members of
the legislature, for or against the
convention. If a majority vote for
the convention, the legislature shall,
at its next session, provide by law
for the calling of a convention.
The convention shall consist of as
many members as the house of rep
resentatives, and shall be chosen in
the same manner.
Mr. Baker alleges that the fact
that no primary election will be
held, and that nominations to the
convention are made by petitions,
which require the signatures of 5
per cent of the voters of a county,
is contrary to the provisions for
nomination and election of candi
dates as provided for in section 2,
article 15, as well as section 22,
article 1.
The second act provides that no
hindrance or impediment to the
right of voters to exercise their
franchise can be made, and that all
elections shall be free.
Mr. Baker contends that the
method of nominating candidates to
the constitutional convention under
the 1919 legislative act does create
and impediment to'free franchise.
The number of signatures on can
didate's petitions required by the
new act is far in excess of the num
ber required to place the name of a
candidate to the house of represen
tatives on the ballot, Mr. Baker
says. For this reason alone the
act is invalid, he says, because Sec
tion 2, Article IS, expressely pro
vides that candidates to the conven
tion shall be nominated and elected
in tht same manner as candidates to
the house of representatives.

Anyone Now Can Have
Pretty Curls and Waves
Here's a hair curling secret that Is de

and ia pleasant to use. It is doubly use
ful hecAuse of also serving as a beneficial
Ldressing, keeping the hair soft, silky and

' By E. C. SNYDER,
Staff Correspondent of The Omaha
Bee.
Washington, Aug. 14. (Special
Telegram.) Some time ago, Con
gressman Jeffries, who left Thurs
day night for Omaha, having re
ceiveo permission from Speaker Gil
lett to go home for a few days to
visit his family, called the attention
of the postoffice authorities to in
formation reaching him that clerks
in Huron and Omaha railway' post
offices were being discriminated
against as compared with clerks at
Sioux City. Second Assistant Post
master General Praeger, in a letter
to the Omaha representative, states
that after full investigation the de
partment finds no evidence of any
discrimination against the Omaha
clerks. The letter says:
"The situation which exists on the
Huron & Omaha R. P. O., which
was established as a separate or
ganization on October 1, last, was
the outcome of the reorganization of
what was prior to that time he Min
neapolis & Omaha R. P. O. via Sioux
City and the Aberdeen, Huron &
Sioux City R. P. O.
"The authorized force for the new
lines on October 1, 1918, was 20
clerks and they resided as follows:
Thirteen at Sioux City, six at
Omaha, and one vacancy. There are
two sets of trains on which the-R.
P. O service is performed, a day and
a night run, and to each set 10 clerks
are assigned. The day run, when
started, was manned by 10 clerks,
nine of whom lived in Sioux City
and at Omaha and in order to avoid
deadheading as much as possible,
and not to disturb residences it was
arranged to have runs in that set of
trains begin and end at Sioux City.
Of the 10 clerks assigned to the
night run when the service started,
five lived in Omaha, four at Sioux
City and one vacancy. Runs in this
set of trains were arranged to begin
and end at Omaha. The present or
ganization of the line calls for 21
clerks. These reside, 11 at Sioux
City, eight at Omaha and two va
cancies. "When a clerk is selected for the
day run he is required to begin at
Sioux City. If he resides in Omaha
he does not necessarily have to
change his place of residence, but
must deadhead to and from Sioux
City before beginning and after end
ing his tour of duty. On the other
hand, when a clerk is selected for
the night run he must begin at Oma
ha, and if he resides in Sioux City
he must deadhead to and from
Omaha.
"The information that Clerk A. W.
Zierdt was denied promotion to the
position of clerk-in-charge because
he refused to move from Omaha to
Sioux City is incorrect. His name
was considered with that of other
eligibles and the selection was made
irrespective of the places of resi
dence. It is not practicable to ar
range the service of the R. P. O.
lines so as to permit every clerk to
begin his run at his place of resi
dence." T. L. Hall, chairman of the Ne
braska Railway commission, is in
Washington to appear before the in
terstate and foreign commerce com
mitter of the house, which has un
der consideration railroad legisla
tion, and also before the federal elec
tric railway commission. Mr. Hall
said he was unalterably opposed to
the Esch or Pomerene bills for rail
road regulations.
Plot for a Movie.
It is a humorous suggestion that
government ownership of railways
would "cut the cost of living." Mr.

Governor Holds Long
Conference Regarding
" High Cost of Living
Lincoln, Aug. 14. Most of the
day Thursday was spent by Gover
nor McKelvie in consultation with
his cabinet created under the new

J. E. Hart, secretary of trade and

retary of labor; George Johnson,
secretary of public works, and Capt.
H. H. Andes, secretary of public
welfare. All were present but the
latter, who has not returned from
France.
The day was spent in talking over
organization of the different depart
ments, most of the discussion being
on the best methods of going after
the profiteers. The appointment of
George A. Williams of Fairmont, as
chief of the market and marketing
department, placing that department
in charge of the work of investiga
tion of profiteering, is the first ap
pointment given out.
Mr. Williams is present member
of the legislature from Fillmore
county. He has lived in Nebraska
since 1888 and in Fillmore county
since 1890.
Mr. Williams' department comes
under the agricultural department,
in charge of Mr. Stuhr.
Nuckolls Pig Raisers
Call Upon Governor
Lincoln, Aug. 14. Thirty-one
boys, members of the Nuckolls
County Pig club, visited the state
hous Thursday afternoon and were
received by Governor McKelvie.
The boys came to Lincoln in six
automobiles and were in charge of
Speaker George Jackson, F. R.
Schweitzer, secretary of the Y. M.
C. A of Nucoklls county, who has
charge of the work of the boys; W.
W. Hawley, J. G. Richmond and W.
A. H.v.tthorn of Nelson.
They spent the day in sight-seeing
and spent the night at the state
farm. Friday they will be given a
chance to learn some of the fine
points in stock judging and in the
evening will return home.
State Board Awards
Potash Rights Leases
Lincoln, Aug. 14. The State
Boan' of Educational Funds has
awarded leases to several parties
asking for mineral and potash rights
in Nebraska. One was granted in
Cheyenne county, four in Garden,
three in Sheridan and 11 in Sioux.
The state treasurer was instructed
to invest $200,000 in different
kinds of bonds at 5 per cent. Here
tofore the rule of the board has made
the minimum rate 54 per cent, but
the present financial conditions led
the board to reduce the limit.

Call on Governor Regarding
Disturbance at Beatrice
Last Week No
Date Set.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 14. (Special Tele
gram.) Irresponsible parties at
tempting to break up public meet
ings and officers who refuse to ar
rest the disturbers will be dealt
with according to their just deserts,
according to Governor McKelvie,
who was visited Thursday morning
by Jesse R. Johnson, manager of
the non-partisan league in Nebras
ka. Mr. Johnson's visit was prompted
by the disturbance at Beatrice last
week when a meeting of leaguer
was broken up and some of the
members roughly handled, accord
ing to reports emanating from that
city.
The purpose of Mr. Johnson's
visit was to arrange for a confer
ence of leaders of the league at
some future time, but he was told
by the governor that unless a meet
ing could be held Friday it would
be impossible for him to see them
for some time, as he expected to be
away for most of the time during
the next two weeks.
In speaking of the matter, Gov
ernor McKelvie said: "I know that
the whole unpleasant matter does
not reflect the sentiment of the very
great majority of the people of Gage
county, and they are just as anxious
as anyone to see that it is cleared
up in such a way as to remove the
stigma that attaches to their com
munity as a result of what hap
pened. In fact, I shall not be sur
prised if the sentiment in that com
munity is so preponderant that the
whole matter will be disposed of
without bringing it to the further
attention of the state authorities."

Washington, Aug. 14. Appropria

PLOW ON THE HEELS OF
HARVEST WITH A
Cleveland
TANK TYPE TRACTOR
Cash in on next year's crop ; land plowed now will soak up dollars in every rain
that falls. The Cleveland does the job quickly and in spite of other drawbacks.
It Does More Than Plow
The Cleveland is the one tractor that does well any and all work connected
with making the ordinary crop. Plowing is only the beginning of what the versatile
Cleveland will do.
The Cleveland is "tank type" in its construction. That means that it lays down
its own tracks, travels on them and picks them up again, just like the famous little
"tanks" of Europe.
It doesn't waste power making itself a hard path bn which to travel it doesn't
need a path. It has 600 square inches of traction surface to carry its 3,200 pounds,
and it does it without slippage and without injury to seed bed. It doesn't wallow
through plowed ground IT RIDES ON TOP OF IT.
