Iowa Governor Addresses
New York Teachers' Meet
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 22. No
state should allow its boys and girls
to start life with anything less than
a high school education, Gov. Wil

"The public school has come
nearer to turning out a 100 per cent
perfect product than any other in
stitution of which I have knowl
edge," said the governor. "We
have outgrown the old doctrine in
this country 'that education is free.'
The new slogan is: "All must be
educated.'
"I woirld encourage culture, but
would notmake it the basis for a
system. Culture is a natural se
quence in the process of education,

Lincoln, Nov. 22. (Special Tele
gram.) Has the state convassing
board, which consists of the govern
or and other state officers, any
right to declare the state officers,
elected at the recent election, elect-
This is the proposition which was
up before the board this afternoon
when it met to 'canvass the votes
and declare elections of the candi
dates who had received the largest
number of votes. They took a
chance and declared that Warren
G. Harding and his running mate,
Calvin Coolidge, were entitled to
Nebraska's vote, but when it came
to declaring the rest of the victors,
they balked.
Because of changes in the law, it
is the opinion of the attorney gen
eral that the legislature in joint
session is the only authority which
can declare the state officers elected,
although he was not so sure about
itthat he desired to stand on that
opinion. Accordingly the board ad
journed for a few days to give the
attorney general .tiflie to look
the matter.
t May Encounter Delay.
If the legislature is the only
authority for declaring a state of
ficial elected, it means that Harrv
'Cook, elected to fill a vacancy on
the railway commission, cannot hold
the office until after the legislature
meets in January, and Thorne
Brown, who was apopinted to -fill
the vacancy, but was elected to the
long term which will exist after T.
L. Hall s term expires in January,
will have to hold office until that
time. ' '
Now that it has been officially dis-
up
covered that Harding and Coolidge
carried the state, it will be up to
Governor McKelvis to select the in
dividual who will carry the message
to Washington.
' Elector to be Selected.
Under the present law, the state
republican convention selected the
eight electors, two at large and one
from each congressional district, and
from these the governor will have
to select the messenger.
They are Mrs. Draper Smith of
Omaha and Mrs. H. H. Wheeler of
Lincoln, at, large; I. J. Weaver, Falls
City; Firsf district; Allen Tukey,
