Eligibility of T. L Hall
For Governor Questioned
Lincoln, Nebf, Feb. 11. (Special.),
ihe tiling or Railway Commis
sioner Thomas L. Hall has again
raised the question of the eligibility
of any state officer to become a
candidate for governor. N
The constitution reads tbat any
other officer of the executive de
partment cannot become a candi
date for governor during the term
for which they were elected.
The constitution enumerates th
executive officers as governor, lieu
tenant governor, treasurer, secre
tary of state, auditor, land commis
sioner, state superintendent and at
torney general. But since the adop
tion of the constitution under which
ihe state is now working a consti
tutional amendment has been adopt
ed electing three members of the
state railway commission and de
fining their duties. Their duties are
defined in the article of the consti
tution pertaining to executive offi
cers, and this has raised thevpoint
in the minds of many as to whether
they were not executive officers as,
well as the other state officers which
the present constitution designates
as officers of the executive department.
