REDICR HEARS THE IRE CASE
Judge Listens to Argument 70 Be Finished
Thursday,
slABAUGH NTtRPosEs A DEMURRER
City Attorney Breen Appears as COun-
sci for IRE, Solomon and Hum
ter, the Three Repub-
lican Aspirants.

After hearing argument pro and con
Wednesday morning on the attempted fil-
ings for county commissioner of Emmett
G. Solomon. william @. TIRE and William
J. Hunter, Judge Redick continued the case
until 9.3O a. m. Thursday.
The decision to be given will go TO the
main question. as TO whether or not two
county commissioners are to be elected in
Douglas county this fall to succeed Com
missioners Hofeldt and Mcdonald OF the
Third and Fifth districts, respectively.
At the outset County Attorney Slabaugh
interposed demurrer to the petition. con-
tending that the petition did not set out
that it was the duty of County Treasurer
Fink and County Clerk Drexel 10 receive
the money rendered as filing fee and the
accompanying certificates Of nomination.
This demurrer the court overruled and
leave was given to file an answer. which
was done An objection that the proceed
ing taken was not in accordance with law
was also overruled. 1t was admitted by
the county attorney that Mr.. IRE, whose
case was in argument, is a resident Of the
district he seeks to represent and that
Commissioner Mcdonald was elected in 1900
at the general election.
Breen for Petitioners.
City Attorney Breen appearing for the
petitioners then presented his argument
on the main question. He held that since
the supreme court had declared the biennial
election act, so-called, unconstitutional and
void in toto, then sections / and of the
old election law, relating to the Office in
point, are still in force and effect. Passing
from this. he took up the provisions OF
chapter xlvi, Session Laws of 1906, relating
to county commissioners and extending
their terms to four years. Mr.. Breen said
II is a companion piece to the law declared
unconstitutional and went on to analyze Il
side by side with the general election law
From this analysis he drew the conclusion
| that even IL the law is constitutional II
does not apply TO Douglas county, which
is not under township organization and has
had the five commissioner system for many
| years.
At the conclusion OF the argument OF City
| Attorney Breen the court adjourned until
| Thursday morning, when County Attorney
! Slabaugh will present his argument in op
position to putting the names of the gen
tlemen mentioned on the primary election
| ballot
The case was continued until $3.50 a. m
Thursday.

Casebeer on Cigarettes.
Representative Casebeer Of Gage county
was in Lincoln yesterday and expressed
himself as being well pleased with the
anti-cigarette law, which he fathered in
the legislature last winter. Mr.. Casebeer
said he did not attempt in the bill to
prevent people from smoking cigarettes II
they wanted to, or from rolling them, but
he did intend to stop the dealers from
selling them and he believed he had ac-
compllshed his purpose. The chief Of po-
lice OF Liucoln has issued an order that
any person caught rolling a cigarette will
be arrested as well as any person caught
smoking one. No arrests have yet been
made.
