MANY LAWYERS AIR VIEWS

Argument was protracted into the after
noon Saturday over the mandamus suit
against city Clerk Dan Butler 10 compel
to place on the city election ballot the
names of the candidates for excise board
and city engineer Endorsed by the repub-
lican and democratic city committees as
party candidates. -
Judge Redick announced he will decide
the case Monday morning.
Elmer Il. Thomas, acting in behalf Of
Lysle | Abbott and the other Anti-Saloon
league candidates. appeared as an inter-
venor i'm the mandamus suit Monday
morning ard asked leave 10 file a petition
Of Intervention. Permission was granted.
Thomas petition sets up the same claims
as does city Attorney Burnam in answer
to the original petition. Thomas appear
ance In the case is designed, It was stated.
TO give his party a chance to be heard In
the present argument and to review the
cases later in the supreme court. II de-
sired. There is no likelihood Of any ap-
peal before election from Judge Redick's
decision by any party however the decision
may be.
Jefferis for the other side.
For the republican and democratic conf
mittess. A. w. Jefferis made the argu-
ment Saturday morning. Against Issuance
OF a mandamus City Attorney Burnam,
Assistant City Attorney Dunn and Lysle
+. Abbott were heard.
The chief question at issue is whether a
vacancy on the tickets did occur following
the city primary with respect to candidates
for the Board of Fire and Police Commits
sioners and for city engineer. II such va
cancies did occur the right of the city
committees to fill them will stand.
on this point Jefferis quoted section lisp
chapter XVI. OF the Nebraska statutes
! which SAYS that all certificates of nomi-
nation shall be deemed valid unless ebjec.
ton shall be made in writing within three
DAYS after filing -"
Continuing, Jefferis argued there couit
be no vacancy until after the primary had
been held: that such a vacancy did occur
because the passage of the law making
these offices elective took place Immediately
before the primary and too soon for name.
to go on the primary ballot.
Burnam, Dunn and Abbott commended tina
there must have been an occupancy betor,
a vacancy can exist; that the law intend,
that If a candidate is nominated in primar!
and then is removed by death, resignation
or other cause, then, and then only, can tn
committee act.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAY
RUN LINE TO EUREKA
Surveyors at Redding and Pre-
pare for Work

REDDING, Dec 1S.-The arrival here
of Civil Engineer W. L. Cossens, with
a party of IL Southern Pacific survey
ers. has reused the liveliest coniec-
lures as to the railroads plans and has
created a belief here that the Southern
Pacific win build to Eureka or through
the timber lands northeast of here.
The party has established headquar-
ters here. with elaborate outfits for
work and with a carload of horses.
They decline to give out any informa-
ton further than that they are under
the orders of B. f. Knowlton of the en-
gineering department of the Southern
Pacific. But they are preparing to
commence at once extensive work
The belief in the probability of the
Southern Pacific's building is furthered
by the news that the Western Pacific
in connection with the Denver and Rio
Grande, will probably penetrate into
this district with a branch line. This
branch is understood to be planned to
touch Eureka by way of Redding.
