a contract that will be water tight. The
Standard Bridge company gets the contract
for both steel and wooden bridges because
IT IL considered by the commissioners that
they are the lowest bidders when every
part Of the material entering into tho con-
struction Is considered. There were a half
dozen bidders and the commissioner
cogitsted for some time before reaching a
decision. Commissioner Bennett favored
the rejection OF all contracts to allow the
county to do the work as suggested by
Engineer Scott. When the estimates for
bridges were made a much larger sum was
put down than i'm former years in anticipa-
ton that devastating floods might come
and require a bigger sum of money to re
pair the damage. At the present time the
bridges Of Lancaster county are said to be
In excellent condition and there Is not
much work in sight after existing contracts
have been completed The Standard Bridge
company secured the contract last year for
wooden bridges and afterwards assumed
that of the Beatty corporation on steel
structures. The successful bidder claims
that its figures are below those of the

The fact that bank cIearings, throughout

To Test Onpartisa Law.
A conference Of the committee appointed
by the republican state central committee
to inquire into the possibility and reason
ableness of testing the ~non-partisan judi
ciaTy law met I'm Omaha Wednesday and
II was decided to make a test case, as the
members of the committee, all lawyers,
thought the new law would not stand the
test of the light. John c. Gown of Omaha
and C. o. Whedon of Lincoln were au-
thorized to go ahead and prepare the case
for test. 1t has not been decided yet just
what method will be employed to get into
court. That matter Is now being investi-
gated by the attorneys.
To the committee. ON hasty Investigation,
there seemed TO be two weaknesses in the
law that justified the test case being
brought. One was that the legislature had
made a law which put on certain candi-
dates for state office restrictions and duties
In becoming candidates that were not i'm
posed on others. Candidates for supreme
Judge, for regent OF the state university
and for state superintendent are required
under the law to be attacked to secure a
petition OF 5000 names, not more than 800
Of which can come from one county. other
candidates may be nominated at a primary
election. This is thought to give the candi-
date who must secure the large petition
an unequal chance with the others. and
denies TO some OF them the right to a
candidacy. thereby hindering the voter from
casting his ballot for whom ne desires in
an election. A case in point was suggested
at the recent meeting Of the state central
committee when the law Of the late '9Os
was mentioned. This law made It obliga-
tory for each candidate elected to pay into
the county treasury I per cent of his salary
to cefray the expense OF the election. Judge
Holcomb decided thai this was an abridge.
ment OF the right Of the voter to cast his
ballot for his choice, since It prevented
some men being candidates. The law was
thrown out on this ground
The other point on which the attack was
suggested was that Of the validity OF the
passage of the law. This view Of the
matter grants the right of the Legislature
10 pass such a law as Il has and merely
attacks the form of the bill as il became
e law. The flaw I'm the law has bten re-
p~eatedly pointed out. The primary law OF
1907 repealed many sections OF the original
election law, The author OF the bill used
q copy OF the statutes which did not cut
these repealed sections out and in several
instances amends sectiJ' IT the statute
which were repealed In u As an amend,
ment 10 a section repealed IN 1901 the new
law forblds political parties and poltica.

by suggesting, ecommending or endorsing
any candidate for any Of the offices covered
by the law.
