LINCOLN, Sept. 15.-(Special Nov the
democratic workers are wondering IL thew
are to get two candidates on the democratic
ballot this fall for regents Of the State uni
versity. There are two regents to be
elected for a full term and one to fill a
vacancy. The democrats nominated Charles
Knapp, son-in-law of Judge Dales, score
tary Of the Board of Regents, to make the
race for the full term, but there was no
other democrat running for this place.
Secretary Walrath Of the populist state
committee, who helps to bring in the mons
for the democrats each year. telephoned
the secretary OF state for information that
would lead to the discovery Of a second
democratic candidate. This led to an in
vestigation Of the scattering votes cast at
the last primary, which showed that II. ID
Lands Of Seward had received thirty-four
votes in Saunders county alone. with only
a hasty investigation 1t was conceded In
the office of the secretary that probably
Lands has received a majority of the scat
tering votes for a place on the demo-
cratic ticket ns a candidate for regent.
Deputy Secretary of State Addison Wait
is of the opinion that Mr.. Lands cannot
get his name on the ticket this fall be-
cause he has not complied with the law
and filed his acceptance of the nomination
within ten days after the primary. On the
other hand, Attorney General THOMPSON
is of the opinion that inasmuch as IT is
probable that Lands did not know he had
received a majority of the vote, his name
should be placed on the ballot regardless
Of the fact he had not filed his acceptance
notice. The attorney general said the law
should be interpreted in a case like this
very literally. The case, however, has not
been submitted to the attorney general
officially.
Some NOtaries Are Minors.
It has just been discovered that notary
commissions have been issued in some in
stances to persons who are not of age.
1t was reported to the governors office |
that out in one town a girl II years old |
has a notary commission. Hereafter the
governor will sign no notary commission
unless the applicant is Of age. Inasmuch
as a notary is responsible for his acts II
is necessary for the official to be of age
or no action could be sustained against
him.
