-A Few Candidates, Have Cinches on ; 'Assembly Jobs Several Aspirants in Sight for President Pro-tem of Ne braska Senate and Speaker Of the House, v Lincoln, , DcT 27. (Special.) AVith the session of the. legislature only a week away, there appears to be very few candidates for legisla tive jobs who have a "lead-pipe cinch" on the offices.

That body will have back 14 of i the old members who are -so well ackut'nted .with the work of Mr. Binard that they are tullyatisfied thai lie should rema n in office. On rofr of this there are a half dozen or mora former members of the home or the constiiutonal conven tion who are also well acquainted with, his .work and have no desire to i ml&ny change. . This may also be said of Jerry -Wilhelm, who represented Postmaster-General Burleson in she senate the last session Tind handed out the mail with efficiency. It is under stood also that James Howell of Albion,- who was assistant sergeant-at-arms of the schate last 'sessiQn, will probably be retained, as every one was, satisfied with hs work. Out side of these three - places, senate positions are still in doubt. President Pro-tem. There are several candidates for president pro-tem of the senate. The lieutenant governor by constitutional provision is the presiding officer of that body, but a president pro-tem is elected to take the place .of the ltcutenant-gcWernor in his absence.

That the office of president pro tem carries with it considerable honor and service was. shown in the last session, when the lieutenant governor was called to be acting gdve-nor of -the state once in the regular session and once in the 6pecial sessisn and President Pro tem B. K. Bushee became presiding officer of the senate. Later, in the absence of both Governor McKelvie and Lieutenant Governor Barrows from the state at the same time. Senator Bushee became acting gov ernor. Over in the house there is quite a contest for the big job of speaker, the presiding off'ce. Rrenresenta tives .George C. Snow of Chadron.

Legislature of Nebfaska Faces Man Laws Must Be Revised to Agree With New Constitu-, tion Change in CodeBill Thought Likely. " T.ineoln. Dee. 27. (Sneeial.V Vith Christmas out of the way, peo ple are beginning te look next to New Year and what it will bring. The thing, which w41 mean most to the stitj is the coming legislature. Not for years has a session of the state governing body faced , such great problems a it wifl have to meet during the next four months. The new constitution, endorsed and pttt in fofce by. the voters of the state at the November election, wilt go into force with the coming ot the new year and one of the problems which tne legislature will have to meet is to change all existing, laws which may, conflict with the new documents ? " May Revise Code Law. Another problem" may be an at tempt to change, the existing code law. It is understood that Gover nor McKelvie will suggest amend ments to the law in his message to the legislature. In the conference which he has held with the repre sentatives of different activities of the state during the past few weeks he has endeavored to discover 'their needs and will without doubt be in fluenced somewhat by thehTTnThis message to the 4egislature The. "blue ?ky" law will certainly meet with some changes if the feel ing among people on the outside is taken into considerations-Some peo ple areinot at all backward in say ing that they bel;eve the present law is of more damage to the people of the state than when there was no law covering the sate of stock. Buyer oa Guard. . Heretofore when a stock salesman approached a prospective buyer it was up to .the buyer to make an investigation of the proposition if he did not have faith in the agent. Un der the present law many salesmen, so it is said, are not at all back ward in representing that "this proposition has been fully investi gated by the state and r$ has given ire endorsement and backing." It has even been hinted that some I salesman have left, the impression that because the state, has put its endorsement on thel Sale of certain stock, that it guarantees against any loss, as PTdoes in the bank guar r.nty law. It -is ;.also understood that the J banking interests of the state will demand that thebanking bureau be made a department .apart front the department of trade and commerce They point to the fact that it is of sufficient importance that the man at the head should be forced to give his whole time to1 the bankingNle partment and not be handicapped by , having under his care the "blue sky," insurance, fire preventidn and dther bureaus. ' . Secretary Overworked. They insist that if the present sec retary of trade and commerce had not been compelled to divide his time among other activities that he might have discovered sooner "the condition of certain banks which are now in the hands of receivers. They do not blame the secretary so much as they da the fact that he is over worked and cannot give sufficient time to the banking interests. It rs also understood that the dairy interests of the state feel that they, too, are entitled to a 'ike considera tion. They do not like the idea of being madje secondary to other in terests. Just what they will demand is not known but it is understood that in the c conferences with the gov ernor the dairy men have fyrt been at all backward in giving the execu tive of the state a few ideas to con sider.
