TWO CLAIM SANE OFFICE

CASE MAY GO TO THE COURTS
Republican Candidate Was Elected but
Failed at That Time in State Exam
ination-Later He Took Examina-
ton and Passed.

Stanton, Neb., Jan. H. - Stanton
county is interested in the outcome of
the contest for the county superinten-
dents Office. When the fall election
was held G. S. COney received ma
iority of the votes. Under the law
governing the qualifications of coun-
ty superintendent, the man elected
must hold a first grade certificate at
the time of his election Mr.. Coney
took the examination here in Stanton
on November A and 6 and got an av-
erage of GS per cent when his papers
were examined by the board at Lin
coin. Superintendent McBrien sent
Mr.. Coney a letter stating that he was
not qualified when elected and could
not take the Office. The republican
politicians got busy and prevailed
upon McBrien to reverse his state
ment and give Coney another chance,
Instead of coming TO Stanton and try
ing to raise the averages, Coney went
to Wayne and failed again. Some
time during the latter days OF Decem-
Mr.. Coney appeared, when the county
board met, January 4, with a first
grade certificate with an average OF
81, and filed bond.
The board postponed consideration
until Tuesday when Attorney w.
w. Young made an argument for Mr..
COney's election, claiming that the law
fixing qualifications was unconstitu-
tional. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress the board approved the bond of
w. II. Hyland, the present county su.
perintendent, and also the bond OF c.
s. Coney. 1t is expected that the case
will be tried in the courts on it's mer.
its.

scope If the examination has therefore
been somewhat limited, according To the

much has been done IA shown by tie
fact that a total Of 2s7 suspected food

OF the milk samples ten were below
